Introduction: (** Ceremony by Crystal is a Disney Preferred Officiant! What an honor!) CONGRATULATIONS! 😊 I'm very happy for your big news! 🎉🎉 YES! I would love to marry you! I can hardly wait to hear your vision for the day, and share some options and ideas with you to make your ceremony completely unique and memorable! WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A TYPICAL CEREMONY BY CRYSTAL PACKAGE? ❤ We will start with an introductory chat . . . a "chemistry check". ✔ What is your love story? I can't wait to hear it! It will help me get to know you a bit better and customize your ceremony. ✔ Then I will share with the two of you my philosophy of officiating to see if I am what you are looking for. "Heart and Humor" sums up my style. Also . . . my experience and confidence in public speaking will help you relax on your day. ✔ **I am no salesperson. 😊 You will not feel pressured to make a decision at the end of this call -- I let you think about it and get back to me. Your choice of officiant needs to be one that you are each comfortable with, so take your time. ❤ Next, and this is THE BIG ONE . . . We will schedule your very own, one-hour, WEDDING WORKSHOP! 🎉 It is my joy to watch couples go from unsure of what they want, to excited! We will cover all these questions and then some! ✔ Do you want a very simple ceremony, or an opportunity to completely customize something creative and unique? ✔ Can we do all Spanish? Or how about bilingual? ✔ What components in the ceremony are required by Florida law? ✔ What are the three options for doing our VOWS? ✔What are my options if I'm SUPER shy and terrified to say anything in front of the guests? ✔Are there ways to include our children in the ceremony? ✔What should we do with the rings? And how do we put them on each other? ✔Can we include a memorial to a dear one who has passed? ✔Do I have to have someone escort me down the aisle? "Give me away?" ✔Can we bring our dog? ✔What are the three options for a rehearsal? ✔Do we need witnesses? ✔What's the difference between the Marriage Application, Marriage License and Marriage Certificate? 😕 ✔When can I change my last name? ❤ After the Wedding Workshop, I will send you your very own CEREMONY KIT: ✔ A 76 page booklet of creative, symbolic, personalize-able ceremony add-ons. Such as: Love Knot, Handfasting, Wine Box and Love Letters, Unity Candle, Sand Ceremony . . . . Pictures and shopping lists included. ✔ AND your very own customizable ceremony in a user-friendly format. Here is what one bride said about it: "Thank you! It was a great bonding moment, sitting down and figuring out what suited us best. So thank you gifting us that experience. I'm honestly surprised. I wasn't expecting how easy it was and how personalized we could make the ceremony." - Elizabeth & Josh I can't wait to marry you!

Words can’t express how amazing Pastor Crystal was from beginning to end. She helped us plan everything and has amazing tools and resources for doing so. We had no plans when we first contacted her, and wound up with the most beautiful wedding on the beach. She is so much more than just an officiant. Highly highly recommended! I could only pick three of the above, but she was also very responsive and punctual. And so much fun!

Details: Elopement • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal

Thank you so much Karen! It was a joy to hear your vision grow! And everything turned out so very beautifully! The ceremony, special decorating touches and the "mystery shell". LOL So sweet! I'm so glad for the elevator ride that brought you and Michael together! :) Many blessings for your Happily Ever After! ❤ Pastor Crystal

Pastor Crystal has a beautiful soul. ❤️ She took her time to get to know my finacé and I and asked us about our vision for the wedding. She is a very kind hearted woman and goes beyond your expectations not to miss a single detail. She discussed options and didn't rush me off the phone at all. Even though my fiancé and I didn't pick her to officiate, she definitely surpassed my expectations just from one single phone call. I would recommend her 100% to anyone getting married as I can tell she is more than just a pastor or an officiant. Thank you Pastor Crystal for sharing your beautiful attitude and listening to me, just as a person. We appreciate you more than you know, and I wouldn't have changed my experience with you for anything!

Details: Wedding • Christian • 21 - 50 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal
