With more than 10 years of experience and over 300 weddings officiated, my passion for working with couples continues to inspire my enthusiasm and deep commitment to each client I serve. I consider it a true privilege to help couples celebrate one of the most meaningful days of their lives.
I take great joy in getting to know each couple personally so that together, we can create a ceremony that is beautiful, heartfelt, and uniquely yours. From traditional Christian ceremonies to contemporary and creatively customized celebrations, I am dedicated to bringing your vision to life. My goal is always to craft a wedding ceremony that is both memorable and deeply personal.
Weddings are intimate and unique occasions, and nothing speaks more clearly to the experience than the words of a couple themselves. Here is what one client shared about working with Guidance and Grace:
“One of the happiest things at our wedding was having Christopher as our officiant. He made our simple and small wedding feel formal and dignified. He provided step-by-step advice and professional guidance, leading us—as a foreign couple—through the entire ceremony. When I became too emotional to continue reading my vows, he gently reminded me to take a deep breath and supported me with reassuring eye contact, which meant so much. Our guests asked us to pass along their thanks to Christopher. He made the day enjoyable for everyone. We love him 100% and recommend him 100%.”
I am also delighted to introduce Kathleen Glassman, who is joining our team as an additional wedding officiant and, most notably, as our dedicated Day-of Wedding Coordinator. Kathleen has worked alongside me for the past two years and brings an invaluable layer of expertise and support to Guidance and Grace. With more than 15 years of corporate event planning experience—including large-scale special events, conferences, and trainings—Kathleen offers exceptional organizational skill and calm, capable leadership. Her experience enhances our services in a way that allows couples and their families to fully relax and enjoy the day.
Our commitment is not only to honor your wedding vision, but to bring it to life in a way that feels authentically yours. By expanding our services to include Day-of Wedding Coordination, we help remove the stress from your celebration. Kathleen oversees vendor communication, manages the timeline, coordinates the wedding party, and proactively addresses any challenges that may arise—ensuring that everything runs smoothly and seamlessly.
At Guidance and Grace, we look forward to the privilege of walking alongside you and helping create a wedding day you will cherish for a lifetime.
