    Very happy and exceeded our expectations!

    Christy made a customized ceremony for us and made everyone relatable. It was so overwhelming day and Christy and Jody helped so much to make the day of manageable and fun. They also did out photos and all are amazing. Our guests enjoyed it so much because the photos sessions were so engaging. I wish Gnarnia Ceremony all the success and I hope to see them again next year!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Christy was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in bringing our dream of eloping in Awenda to life. She spent a lot of time getting to know us and crafted a ceremony that really captured our love story and who we are individually and as a couple. On top of the ceremony, Christy and her crew created a beautiful luxury picnic for us and took our gorgeous photos. She was a delight to work with - always available if we needed anything, accommodating any special requests, and providing helpful recommendations when we didn't know where to begin planning. Our perfect day is truly all thanks to her.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Christy was absolutely incredible! She was so responsive and easy to work with prior to our big day and worked with us to create a custom ceremony. We eloped just the two of us, Christy asked us a few questions before our wedding and then she wrote our love story back for us -bringing us both to laughter and tears. We can’t thank her enough for making our wedding that much more special. It was truly a day we’ll never forget and that is due in large part to Christy’s talent and dedication to her craft.

    Quaint, Intimate, and Memorable Ceremony

    Christy was the most amazing officiant for our wedding. Honestly, it was during the pandemic and our spirits were a bit low due to the poor weather. She was constantly positive and uplifting and helped to make our union a cherished one. In fact, she went so far as to scout out the perfect location on an island with a wonderful gazebo that set the mood perfectly.

    She was accommodating with the words she said during the ceremony. We had asked for it to be non-religious and she delivered it respectfully.

    Christy, thank you for everything you did for us. It was a perfect day, and you helped to make it that way.

    Amazing experience

    Christy is a very intuitive individual who is incredibly compassionate and professional (yes, those things can be used together). She truly takes the time to get to know you and what vision you have for your wedding. In these harder Covid times, safety and health are a high priority of hers. She takes the time to outline everything and there are no hidden details. She has wonderful communication skills and she will set you at ease in no time. Christy has a true understanding of what love, marriage and commitment are. She is flexible and truly puts you first. If you are looking for someone to put that extra touch into your special day, look no further.

    The most memorable ceremony!

    My husband and I got married in July of 2022. We are so thankful on all the time and effort Christy spent to make our wedding ceremony so personalized and magical. From all the interviews with my husband and I as well as our friends and family, Christy knew who exactly we were as individuals and as a couple in order to write our custom ceremony so perfectly. All of our friends and family were able to capture our relationship in our ceremony and understand our love. We couldn’t imagine it being any other way and are so thankful we can look back at our special day and remember all the reasons we got married!

    Christy was friendly, flexible and made our speacial day unique!

    Christy was very easy to work with. She helped answer all of our questions and was very flexible with various changes that came up while planning our wedding during a pandemic. She was very friendly and truly got to know us before putting our ceremony together. We got lots of wonderful comments about the ceremony about those in attendance and those who had to watch virtually.
