Amazing Experience!
My husband and I got married in September in Hamilton with Kristen acting as our officiant, and she was amazing! She met with us several times to get a sense of our personalities and what was important to us, and someone was able to translate it all into a beautiful ceremony! Working with her was so easy as she was super accommodating to all our requests and revisions, and had great insight on what would and wouldn’t work in our ceremony. We were both nervous about writing our own vows, so Kristen provided us with several vow suggestions that we could pick and choose from to help create our own vows. Thank you Kristen for making us laugh and cry on our special day!

Offciant for all
Kristian summarized our relationship beautifully for the ceremony. She went above and beyond to learn who we are as a couple and as individuals and used those details to make our ceremony extremely beautiful.

Made our ceremony truly special..
Due to covid and lockdowns, we had majority of our meetings via. Zoom and I have to say she is the sweetest person you'll ever meet! In the beginning, she sent us a questionnaire for us to fill out that will help her write our ceremony script. After getting the script, I saw how she captured our love story so well all by meeting us through zoom and our questionnaires!! With such a crazy wedding season she was not able to attend our rehearsal but she helped me so much with going over what to do at a rehearsal and how the processional should go. During our ceremony, she was calm, positive, and honestly felt like our friend was officiating our wedding. Thank you so much, Kristen! You did such an amazing job and truly made our ceremony special.

Personalized Experience
Kristen was so easy and pleasant to work with! From the start she was open and responsive to any ideas and provided wonderful suggestions. She fully personalized it based on information provided via an easy questionnaire. She also provided tips and tricks on how to write my vows... You'd be surprised how hard it can be to start, but with her help it was so easy to finish once I started! I highly suggest hiring her, you won't be disappointed!

Personal and poignant!
Kristen made our ceremony so personal, relaxed and touching with just a touch of humour that added to our day in such a special way. She took the time to get to know us and was completely open to any suggestions along with giving us room to personalize our day, our way. Kristen has such a nice presence that everyone felt welcome and included in the ceremony. I would highly recommend her!

Loving and personal wedding ceremony
Kristen was amazing to work with. After our initial consultation, she sent us a questionnaire with questions to fill out together and also some questions to fill out separately. With this questionnaire, Kristen created a beautiful wedding ceremony. We wanted short and sweet and that’s exactly what she delivered. She is laid back and has such a friendly vibe. I would definitely recommend her services!

Beyond thankful for Kristen!
Kristen was a pleasure to work with. She made our ceremony so personable and special- it wasn’t a cookie cutter/one size fits all kind of ceremony. My husband, me, and our friends and family were so impressed by her. She made everything simple and easy.

Beautiful Ceremony
When we met Kristen over the phone we knew right away she was a great fit for us. She's warm and inviting and made us and our guests feel cared for during the ceremony, she just fit right in. Due to how we had to pivot our day during covid I didn't actually get to meet Kristen until I was already walking down the aisle! But all of our communication before that moment were easy, clear and fun. Our ceremony was beautiful and I can imagine anyone else marrying us! Thank you Kristen!
