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.

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.

Absolutely Flawless
Christy was more than we could have asked for. She took the time to prepare a very thoughtful ceremony for us. It was personal, authentic, and relaxed... exactly what we wanted it to be. She was professional and quick to respond to all inquiries. She also was so accommodating when our plans had to change last minute due to covid. We had multiple guests comment on how well she captured me and my husband. I am so glad she could be a part of our day, it wouldn’t have been quite the same without her!

Creative, compassionate and intuitive
Truly grateful to have come across Christy!! She listens to your needs and uses her creativity to infuse a one of a kind experience into her “craft”.
She is reliable, communicative and professional and truly compassionate.
Becoming a Celebrant was a natural progression for me as I have always felt called to facilitate positive experiences in people's lives.
Eliciting the words that will mean the most to you, your partner and guests is my talent; working with your sentiments to create the feelings you want shared is my gift.
I believe we are always looking to create a feeling and that the power of your words matter most to this mission on your wedding day.
I pride myself on my highly customized and unique writing ability and my confidence as an eloquent speaker and officiant of your ceremony.
I’m here to make sure that each and every event I’m involved with is personally crafted, inspired, extraordinary, and unforgettable.
