Hello! I am a licensed minister. I regularly do weddings along with vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and funerals. I do wedding coordination and I do not over book so I can give my couples the time necessary to help them. I can often fill in last minute at events. I am affordable and easy to work with. I am also a Notary.

Christine was amazing and had a big role in making our special day perfect. She truly personalized our ceremony to make it unique and special to us. She was happy to include a special cultural tradition for our family. The ceremony was perfect and the words she spoke were from her heart. Absolutely no complaints!
Christine was a perfect choice for our ceremony in every way! She was personable, polite, professional, and listened to our wants and needs. She could not have performed the ceremony any better. Christine is an absolute gem!

Enjoyed having Christine as our daughters officiant. She was very responsive and understanding. She reviewed everything with my daughter and her fiancé before the wedding. The day of the wedding went perfect. I would highly recommend using her again.

Christine saved my wedding day! I had to find someone last minute and she responded so quickly. She was able to come meet me 1 hour before my wedding and discuss what me and my husband wanted before our ceremony. Our ceremony was perfectly spoken and added so many elements that we wanted, even with having so little time. If you’re looking for someone that has your best interests and provides a meaningful ceremony, please go with Christine.

Christine isn't just an officiate, she has become a good friend. We haven't met her yet but just by talking to her on the phone, I felt her energy and her Faith. She has a great personality and is very easy to talk to.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$250 is my base price. That includes writing, and arranging a ceremony to the liking of the couple and completion of the ceremony. General additional fees would be for driving more than 20 miles and that’s a reasonable gas fee.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Message them asking to have a small chat about their needs and wait for a response.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
