About

On WeddingWire since 2022

Last update: April 2023

I am a Halifax-based Justice of the Peace available to be your wedding officiant for ceremonies in Nova Scotia.. I am a very experienced, reliable professional with an extensive career in administrative support, voice work/broadcasting, and event planning. Known for having a keen eye for detail and excellent communication skills. I am a very open-minded people person who makes everyone feel comfortable from the moment they meet me. I am very compassionate and truly feel privileged to perform marriage ceremonies - I believe I am meant to do this. Your ceremony is the continuation of your love story. How it started is part of your story and I officiate the next chapter - marriage.

I want your ceremony to capture who you are as a couple but also as individuals so it is intimate for your family and friends.

I have always loved romance. I married my high school sweetheart John. We had 32 years together until he died unexpectedly at 47. I was left a widow with two daughters. I needed something to help heal my heart. To be a Justice of the Peace is a honour I wear proudly. I have married hundreds of couples and each couple has left a print on my heart. Those prints stay there forever. Words are hard to come by when I am feeling the energy and love of couples as they commit their solemn vows to one another. It is palpable. It is beautiful and special.

I am very lucky and promise you that your ceremony will reflect your personality and encompass your love story.

    Krista is absolutely amazing

    Krista was so nice and I love the way she does her wedding write ups. She makes sure to include your love story which was huge for us. We have been together for 17 years since high school and have 3 kids so we have a huge background to our love story. It was so nice to have it included. And when I was so nervous (trying not to cry) and messed up on some of my vows she just laughed it off with me and we started over that part. I highly recommend her

    Such a wonderful wedding officiant!

    Krista was professional, caring and energetic. She kept in touch with us throughout the planning stages right up until the end of the night. She was fabulous, is all I can say! She made us feel comfortable and at ease during the ceremony. She truly loves what she does and it shines in her. I would highly recommend her as your wedding officiant! Thank you Krista! The best!

    So glad we found Krista!

    Krista married us in August of 2022. She was very warm and friendly to meet with and accommodating. She tailored our ceremony specifically to us, and made it feel so beyond special. The blessing of the hands was a wonderful addition that she suggested which ended off the ceremony in such a beautiful way. She travelled a little ways to us as well which we were beyond grateful for. Thank you Krista for making our day the best it could be!

    The King wedding

    Blair and I cannot say enough about how much we valued and appreciated Krista Cooks officiating of our wedding!
    Friends and family who attended our wedding still talk about the personal touch that Krista offered to our ceremony almost one year ago.
    Krista was interested and engaged with “our story” from day one of contacting her as an officiant. She brought warmth and sincerity to our service while professionally giving us the personalized service that we had requested.
    Krista is definitely a cherished memory of our wedding.

    Very sincerely,
    Denise and Blair King

    An officiant with heart

    Krista was lovely to deal with and extremely flexible as we worked to plan a small wedding in a difficult time. She brought so much emotion and sincerity to our ceremony and helped immensely with non-traditional vows that were straightforward, but spoke to the heart of our relationship. Though the day of our wedding was our first in-person meeting, it almost felt as though we were being married by an old friend. We would gladly recommend her to any couple.

I know from all the couples I have met that it is challenging to find an officiant/Justice of the Peace who fits with you and have the same vision. You want to be comfortable and enjoy their energy.

I believe it is important to meet and chat and get to know one another a bit so you can decide on whether I may have the honour of officiating your ceremony. I also like to include your full love story into your ceremony but I can explain that further when we meet.
