Testimonials
“May 23,2024 We got married by the lovely Kristen from Vancouver Officiant. I can not boast about her enough... First, she is an absolute angel of a person who helped us through EVERY step no matter how big or small. She was fast to respond to emails (even though my questions were sometimes so random hahah). We had our meetings where she walked us through every step of the wedding ceremony (literally every step, from how people normally walk down in orders to giving us ideas for vows). She gave us all of the pieces that we were missing for the wedding and it ran sooo smoothly. There are way too many other reasons why you should choose this company for your wedding, but just know that they will take care of you.”
“Kristen was AMAZING! We really felt she took the time to get to know myself and my husband. It was so special to have her there and help us begin our journey as a newly wedded couple!”
“Calm, personal, professional, and fun!
We were absolutely thrilled with the experience we had with Kristen! From the moment we first connected, she made us feel completely at ease and understood our vision for our special day. Her warm, genuine personality instantly made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared about making our ceremony personal and unforgettable.
Kristen took the time to get to know us as a couple, ensuring that every part of the ceremony reflected our unique story. The way she crafted the ceremony was simply magical—equal parts heartfelt, joyful, and meaningful. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how beautifully everything was executed.
Her professionalism was impeccable. From helping us with vows to managing the timeline, she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Kristen was punctual, well-prepared, and exuded such calm and positivity, which truly set the tone for our wedding.
We are beyond grateful for the love and care Kristen poured into our ceremony. It was everything we hoped for and more—an unforgettable moment that we will cherish forever, thanks to her incredible officiating. We couldn’t recommend this group more highly!”
“My wife and I were so happy to have Kristen as our officiant! From the initial zoom calls all the way to the wedding, she helped us feel completely at ease. During the ceremony itself, her encouragement and professionalism helped wash away any feelings of nervousness and boosted our confidence.
Despite the majority of our wedding and reception being a complete blur for us, we both clearly remember our ceremony with her and feel it was one of our favourite moments of the entire event. We really enjoyed how she told our story, as well as how smoothly she blended all of the ceremony elements together. Many of our family and friends also commented on her amazing performance and how she set the tone for a great evening.
Thanks again, Kristen!”
“We had the pleasure of working with Kristen! Right from our first zoom meeting, I knew that she was the perfect choice - she is kind, caring, enthusiastic, encouraging, positive and professional. Kristen really made it a priority to know our love story and to connect with us, which made her words on our wedding day feel so authentic! She was always quick to respond to our questions and checked in many times throughout our journey. All of our friends and family commented on how lovely she was (both at the rehearsal and the wedding ceremony) and I would recommend her to any couple in need without hesitation. Thank you for making our day so special, Kristen!”
“We had the pleasure of having Kristen as our officiant, and she was amazing! She helped answer questions we didn’t even know we had and made our ceremony so beautiful. Throughout the planning process, Kristen was super friendly and quick to respond. We shared multiple Zoom meetings ahead of the big day, which really helped us feel prepared. We were nervous about doing our vows in front of all our guests, but Kristen reassured us, provided tips for structuring our writing, and helped us gain confidence. Several guests even told us that they mistakenly thought that Kristen was a friend of the family because of how well she understood our love story! Kristen, we are grateful to you for crafting such a magical moment for us. We will cherish the memory of our ceremony forever. Thank you!”
“We would like to thank Kristen for all the amazing work she did with our small elopement.
She took the time to understand both of us intimately and worked with us throughout the wedding planning process. Throughout our communications, Kristen was not only professional, but a caring and active listener. She collaborated with our varied schedules and found an individual solution that worked for us.
Most importantly, at the wedding, Kristen was able to share our love story with our closest family in a way that we would not have been able to crystallize. Finally, she took the time to connect with each guest of our small party before and after the ceremony, going above and beyond her duties to make everyone feel comfortable despite the nerves.
We would not hesitate to recommend Kristen to anyone looking for an empathetic, kind, and loving person to officiate their special day.”
“Kristen!!
Thank you so so much for everything. You truly are blessed with such a talent for words and how you presented our ceremony was more beautiful than anything we could have imagined. We are so thankful for you! You captured our story so beautifully and took us by surprise even how well it was articulated.
We hope you have the most amazing day and keep bringing others as much happiness as you’ve brought us, again thank you and keep shining 🤍 ”
“Amazing people to work with. Professional, knowledgeable, and very supportive/personable. They are great at what they do and really care about your wedding day. :) I loved working with Kristen”
“Kristen was AMAZING. We are so grateful for all her guidance in regards to our vows, flow of ceremony and direction at our rehearsal. Her kindness and energy light up a room, we were honoured to have her as our officiant. I would 100% recommend Vancouver Officiant! We went on our honeymoon and came home to our marriage certificate in the mail! Love that they handle everything so we didn’t have to stress! She’s a must for your seamless ceremony!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Vancouver Officiant and Kristen. Kristen was incredible to work with and made our ceremony perfect. She made sure to meet with us a few times before our wedding day to get to know us, provide support and answer all our questions. She is so warm and made us feel so comfortable leading up to, and even after the ceremony. Kristen created a personal and intimate ceremony that conveyed our love story so well to all our guests.
Thank you so much Kristen, for all your help in making our wedding day so amazing!”
“We just had our wedding officiated by Kristen and she is amazing!! So warm and bubbly and she was so helpful throughout the planning process. I loved how she asked so many questions and got to know us prior to the wedding so that she could customize the ceremony to our liking. She included the cutest background story of us and kept it short and sweet - just the way we wanted. Thank you so much Kristen for being a part of our special day!! Highly recommend :)”
“I can’t say enough positive things about Kristen and VO. She was absolutely incredible from start to finish.
To Kristen:
Our ceremony was the best half an hour of our lives and we were blown away by your warmth and time taken in understanding us as a couple. Your words were so kind and hit so close to home and we both really appreciated your quiet encouragement and the sense of ease you brought. I did not expect to have so much FUN in the ceremony portion of the day, but through your creation of a really comfortable atmosphere, we were able to be ourselves, to laugh and be present in the reason we were there. It was absolutely incredible and we have had many compliments that our service was the best they’ve been to for how unique and personal it was!
If you’re thinking of booking, do not hesitate!”
“An absolute must!
Kristen was the best officiant we could have ever asked for. She was so kind, thoughtful, organized, calm and helpful. She perfectly captured my husband and I’s love story and made our ceremony absolutely perfect. She was helpful and encouraging throughout the entire process, taking any stress away and making the process fun and enjoyable. Highly highly recommend!!”
“I cannot recommend Kristen from VO enough. She put the effort in to get to know us and our story, then did a wonderful job bringing that story to our ceremony. She kept it personal and not cliche, and brought a level of calmness to our ceremony nerves. Thank you Kristen! You helped make our day feel so special & so us.”
“We were incredibly happy that we chose Vancouver Officiant for our July 2023 wedding. My new husband and I were nervous about writing or saying our vows. We chose a customized ceremony called the “True to You Experience” with Kristen and she was a joy to work with. A few guests came up to us afterwards and said it was a beautiful ceremony and even asked if Kristen was a family friend - that is how intimate it felt! We highly recommend Vancouver Officiant because Kristen made it easy and enjoyable to organize our ceremony for our special day. They even give you tips and tricks for before and after your wedding. Thank you to Kristen for making our ceremony so memorable.”
“We had an amazing experience with Kristen. She really took the time to learn about our love story and it was beautifully reflected in our ceremony. Would highly recommend!”
“Kristen at Vancouver officiant was AMAZING. She made us feel so comfortable, her opening remarks were funny and heartfelt and she was super responsive. She held our rehearsal which went super smooth and the day of was just perfect. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“We approached Kristen 2 years ago to officiate our wedding. She has been extremely helpful in the planning of our wedding ceremony and her speech was personable, heartwarming and funny! Kristen also accommodated us when we ran into a bit of health troubles and decided to sign our marriage license early (in the most snowy day of the year and Xmas eve!). I can’t thank the team enough!!”
“Kristen was so incredibly wonderful to work with. She was available for support every step of the way and beautifully crafted a personal and intimate ceremony that captured our love story so well.
Her presence was so warm and she made us feel so at ease. We laughed and cried and had the most fantastic ceremony. Our friends and family loved her and she was such an absolute pleasure to work with!
We would recommend Kristen and the team at Vancouver Officiant to absolutely everyone!
Thank you so much to Kristen for your support and for making our day so wonderful.”
“If you want an officiant that not only takes the time to learn about you and your partner, but also shows genuine care, interest and love for you, choose KRISTEN! Meeting her for the first time, It only took a few words exchanged before we knew we’d made the right choice. She went above and beyond and made us feel so special on our special day. She gave us the ceremony I’d always dreamed of and I wouldn’t change a thing! Such a special woman that we are so grateful to have met and to marry us!!”
“Working with Kristen was an absolute pleasure. She is an incredible lady to work with, such a sweetheart and so invested! She made our ceremony so personal to us and it was beautiful and exceeded our expectations 110%! She is so sincere and gets sincerely excited about the weddings she works with; she is all around such an incredible person! Thank you so much for helping to make our day so memorable! Once I have photo’s I will post them!”
“My wife and I were really unsure of what officiant to use as we are both not religious. We interviewed several that brought their own styles to the mix where we felt like we needed to conform to their structure. With Vancouver Officiant, Kristen focused entirely on us! We felt comfortable right away. The process involved sharing information with her over a couple calls and a questionnaire, then it all came together beautiful for our big day.
We were nervous about filling 30 minutes, but I am happy to report that it was a smooth yet tearjerking and emotional ceremony that was perfect! We highly recommend working with Vancouver Officiant, especially if you have no clue how to structure your ceremony (e.g. you are non religious)! Kristen was always pleasant, quick to respond, and performed perfectly on our big day. A+”
“Highly recommend Vancouver Officiant! We had the lovely Kristen officiate our wedding. It was such a seamless process and Kristen captured our love story so beautifully during the ceremony. Kristen was very thorough and informative when it came to planning our special ceremony. She had a lot of ideas on how to include everyone when it came to our ceremony because we have a big family. Thank you for making this process enjoyable and fun! Thank you Kristen!!”
“What a beautiful ceremony! It was perfectly funny, heartfelt and personal - fantastic job, Kristen. It really set the tone for the rest of the day and your personality was exactly what was needed. Thanks so much for working with the couple to make sure they were able to convey their thoughts through their vows as well. It was a very sweet moment! ”
“Kristen was the most amazing officiant from day one! She was so informative, kind and helpful as we planned our ceremony and we felt that she really took the time to get to know us so that she could tailor our ceremony to us & our personalities. Vancouver Officiant provided us with some helpful ideas for the ceremony including customizable vows, readings etc. This was very helpful, if like us, you don’t know where to start!
Kristen was amazing on our wedding day, she arrived on time and helped me (the bride) and my bridesmaids get ready to walk down the aisle and made sure everyone in the ceremony knew when to stand.
We didn’t want to sign our marriage paperwork in front of everyone and Kristen has the best idea ever for us to do a private ceremony. We are over the moon that she said that as it was just perfect!
Thanks again Kristen and Vancouver Officiant - you made our wedding!”
“I highly recommend Vancouver Officiant! Kristen was a dream to work with, especially with the unpredictability of the covid wedding regulations in BC. She walked us through the whole process in detail and ensured we had a lovely, personalized ceremony.”
“Wow! Our experience with VO and Kristen was simply wonderful. Kristen is so down to earth and personable that she made my husband and I feel so comfortable. It felt like she had known us for a long time. Being able to customize our wedding to perfectly reflect our relationship was so special. We all still talk about how exceptional the experience was. We cannot recommend this company enough!”
“We used Vancouver Officiant and had Kristen as our officiant. She was amazing! We did not get the support and help from our venue like we thought we would and Kristen took charge and made our ceremony perfect. She was so kind and even with COVID, we felt like we knew her personally. Our ceremony was beautiful and after people asked if she was a personal family friend because she told our love story so well. Guests could not stop talking about our officiant and how great our ceremony way. I would highly recommend Vancouver Officiant, they are truly passionate in what they do!”
“Kristen was our officiant and she was amazing! So flexible and easy to work with. We opted on for assistance with the wedding rehearsal and she gave us valuable insight on every step of the way. Kristen pays attention to the small details that pulls everything together to make your day perfect. Thank you very much.”
“Kristen was THE BEST. From zoom calls to me constantly emailing her about my vows to her presence on the rehearsal and wedding day, she was incredible. On the day of the wedding when nerves were high she popped in the bridal suite and assured me that everything was going great and she had a handle on the guests. Without her guidance and checking in I would have been so lost. She listened to EXACTLY what we wanted for our wedding. My husband and I asked that it would be the shortest ceremony ever with only the necessities. That’s exactly what it was and it was PERFECT! She is so wonderful, kind, and funny. I am sooooooo happy we got her for our day. Couldn’t have pictured anyone else.”
“My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of having Kristen O. officiate our wedding at The Lodge on Harrison Lake in late September of 2021. Kristen made us feel comfortable, soothed our nerves and went above and beyond to get to know us. By the time of our ceremony, through the multiple email exchanges, and our online meetings (which she kindly offered to us, a safety measure of course), we felt like we had known her for a while and it was very comfortable. She made the process so easy, to a point where it felt like we never had to ask questions, as she had provided us with the information we needed, such as when/where to get our marriage license, what to do leading up to the wedding, and what type of details we should prepare for our ceremony. With that said, she always did welcome any questions we may have - she was just so thorough that we felt she addressed many things we wondered. In addition to all of this, Kristen is warm, and very evidently caring, which quickly put as at ease knowing we were in good hands. We were very fortunate to have her officiate our wedding - the ceremony she prepared was beautiful - and we are still in awe. Thank you, Kristen, for being part of the best day of our lives, and for the massive part you played in ensuring our day was special. Without hesitation, we recommend Kristen and the team at VanOfficiant to be your go-to for your wedding.”
“We had a great experience working with Vancouver Officiant for our wedding on July 10, 2021! From date changes, to navigating COVID restrictions Vancouver Officiant was very accommodating, provided great direction/suggestions and communicated quickly and efficiently with us. Kristen did a am amazing job with our ceremony, she was lovely and made my partner and I feel very comfortable with the ceremony. We received many compliments from our guests on her great custom ceremony. We would highly recommend Vancouver Officiant to others!!”
“Kristen captured our story and vision so perfectly. Getting married is one of the most special moments in a couples lives and who is officiating the marriage is incredibly important. We had the honor of having Kristen officiate our wedding and to say she did an amazing job would be an understatement. If you are looking for a sign of who you want to officiate your wedding, then this is it! Thank you again so much for such a memorable experience. We just wanted to add that you looked gorgeous! Simran loved your dress ”
“Thank you so much for officiating our ceremony - it was personal , heart felt and magical . We could not have wanted it to be any more perfect than what it was - it was simply “amazing “ thank you so much!”
“Our experience with Vancouver Officiant was wonderful! We wanted a wedding ceremony that was unique and less traditional so Vancouver Officiant was a perfect fit for our intimate wedding. Kristen was so kind and friendly. She took the time to get to know us in order to create a personalized ceremony that felt true to us. It was so beautifully done. Thank you Kristen making our day feel more special!”
“Kristen was the officiant for our wedding this last weekend and she was amazing! She guided us through the whole process before the ceremony, her instructions were clear and simple. She had a lot of material for us to choose from and got us prepared, made us feel comfortable and ready to profess our love in front of our family and friends.
She from our interactions, she delivered the most beautiful ceremony we could have ever asked for. She made it so personal and so unique our friends and family were raving about her and how beautiful the ceremony was.
Really really recommend Kristen, and this whole service she provides it made things so easy a seamless.
Thank you 😊”
“Kristen was amazing! We had a wonderful experience with her altogether, from the initial meeting and drafting our custom ceremony, to the very last minute changes on our wedding day. Her delivery was heartfelt and true to the very last bits of our story…all our guests loved her. Thanks Kristen! You are the best!”
“Kristen was incredible! We loved her from the get go and she was perfect for us. She always answered our questions, made us feel super comfortable and reassured, and we could not have asked for a better match!
Thank you for being part of our day!”
“Beyond our wildest dreams!
You 100% should book with Kristen! She is, by far, the most genuine, sincere, caring and loving Officiant and person we have ever met.
She truly made our wedding ceremony unforgettable and we are beyond grateful to her.
She was so welcoming to our guests, so kind and respectful of our wishes and encouraged us along our journey to become husband and wife.
Our guests had nothing but the kindest words of praise for her and the way she conducted our ceremony!
Thank you does not even come close to what we would like to say to Kristen. Honestly, if you have the pleasure of having her as your Officiant, you should count your lucky stars for she is one in a million!
With much love and respect!”
“We shared our big day with Kristen and would like to thank her so much for not only officiating our big day, but for being such an amazing person. Right away we felt Kristen’s positive energy and uplifting emotion. She took out the stress and filled everyone with an amazing sense of joy. We can’t thank her enough for how special she made the whole process Her positive energy and outgoing personality made the whole experience feel more than special. Even though we live in Toronto, she was able to accommodate our needs by corresponding via email and phone. If we were to do it again, we would ask for Kristen in a heart beat. Thank you Kristen for guiding us through such a wonderful time in our lives. We cherish the time we were able to spend with you.”
“Kristen was very friendly, easy to talk to and walked us through each step of the process. She personalized our ceremony to fit our story and her delivery style is relaxed and caring. Would recommend to others.”
“We loved having Kristen as our Officiant for our wedding. She has a very kind and welcoming presence that made our ceremony so perfectly intimate. She took time in getting to know us and put a lot of care and heart into creating our story – our ceremony flowed seamlessly with her guidance. We love her positive energy and confidence and could not have been officially married in better hands! (Kristen also has an amazing sense of style and dresses to compliment your wedding party/theme!)”
“My husband and I could not be more pleased with the experience we had with Kristen as our officiant. Kristen was incredibly sweet, helpful, clear, and thoughtful. Kristen was helpful in explaining her services in our initial phone call, and took the time to get to know us at our first meeting. Kristen was engaged in learning about our story, our vision, our families, and our hopes for the day. Kristen was there to facilitate the rehearsal dinner, and came early to the ceremony. Kristen was independent in getting everything ready while us as the bride and groom were running around preparing ourselves. She has a beautiful speaking voice, and wrote such an amazing version of our story. She connected with our family and talked to many of our guests on both the night of the rehearsal and ceremony. We feel so lucky to have had her to do the personal ceremony of our dreams.”
“Kristen is amazing! We decided to get married with one month to plan the entire wedding and Kristen helped make our wedding planning stress-free! In fact, she exuded genuine happiness for us and she helped us enjoy the planning process. We were thrilled with the ceremony, which was private and intimate with only our family as our witnesses. Family members have even commented on how lovely Kristen is as an officiant and she had us all laughing and crying tears of happiness throughout the entire ceremony. In all honesty, the ceremony was even better than we could have imagined!
She made us feel extremely comfortable, answered all of our questions, was prompt in her responses, and very flexible. My grandmother was not doing well at the time of our wedding and Kristen graciously arranged it so that we could call her the night before should we need to change our ceremony destination to include my grandmother who, at the time, was limited in her mobility. This was the biggest stressor of all for me and my husband and we really couldn’t thank her enough for alleviating this stress for us. She is compassionate and caring and I think everyone should book her if you can!
The cost is also very reasonable and worth every dime!”
“Kristen Olynick was an absolute dream to work with. She made everything so simple and easy and was always extremely responsive. She customized our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. I received so many compliments from wedding guests that say they absolutely loved her personality, energy and positive vibes. I made the best decision going with Kristen on our special day and highly recommend her to anyone planning their own wedding!”
“Kristen Olynick was absolutely wonderful! We could not have asked for anyone more perfect to officiate our special day. She made our ceremony easy to plan and responded very quickly to emails. She did an amazing job customizing our ceremony and the flow and length was perfect! My husband and I were extremely nervous the day of, but Kristen’s warm, calming presence put us both at ease. Thanks to her, our ceremony will always be an unforgettable, special moment for us.”
“We had Kristen for our officiant this past week and had a wonderful experience working with her. She guided us through creating our ceremony just the way we wanted it. It was perfect! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized ceremony”
“There was no question after meeting Kristen that my (now husband) Anthony and I wanted her to be our Wedding Officiant so…
Kristen,
Where do I start? How can I say thank you? An engraved wedding favor pen? A photograph of us? These small token do not even begin to show OUR gratitude for your warmth, your humour and sensibilities that made our wedding ceremony even more special thank we could have imagined!
Our sincerest thanks,”
“Kristen officiated our wedding 7-14-2019. We are so beyond happy that we chose her as our officiant. Her detail and genuine caring about the ceremony and the passages said at the ceremony were way above and beyond our expectations. She was the 200% right choice for us and are so lucky that she was recommended when we were looking. She incorporated our children in beautifully which was really important to us and made sure that we had the time to absorb each part of our ceremony so we didn’t feel like it just “flew by”. We highly recommend her. so beyond happy with our ceremony. Thank you!”
“Kristen, thank you so much for being a part of our special day! We loved having you as our officiant! Your energy is so fun and loving – you made us feel so much more comfortable and less nervous! We loved the story you created about us – I couldn’t help but get teary eyed listening to it!”
“Kristen was amazing! Kristen was a lit officiant. We are so so very glad that we were connected with her. She is kind, caring, fun, thoughtful, organized, professional and all around amazing. She truly made our day what we dreamed of. She was a rockstar during the rehearsal and really helped make sure everything ran smoothly. She honoured our wishes and gave suggestions when we needed. The ceremony was incredible. It was real, genuine, personal, heart warming and beautiful. Kristen set the tone for just what we were hoping for. We are so grateful!!”
“My husband and I had the privilege of having Kristen O as our officiant, and she was amazing. Our ceremony was not the generic boring wedding ceremony I’ve experienced; it was personable and reflected us as a couple. Kristen, you are amazing! We were so lucky to have you. Thank you so much! Our day was absolutely amazing ♥️♥️ You were fabulous!”
“We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to officiate our wedding! Kristen has an amazing energy that shone through from her first introductory email right to the ceremony and beyond. Never a hesitation when I emailed with questions. We FaceTimed with her shortly before the ceremony to go over the details and we just loved her! She spoke with such joy about us during our ceremony. My mother wanted a blessing for our union and Kristen wrote an absolutely beautiful one for us! These guys know what they’re doing and make sure that you get exactly what you want! Our day was perfect and a big part of it was because of Kristen!!”
“We had a small and intimate wedding ceremony on a mountain top. It was even more than what we dreamed of! The helicopter ride was very smooth and the scenery was stunning. Kristen is a very friendly, kind, and patient person.”
“Can’t thank our friends enough for recommending Kristen as our officiant and she was super responsive to all our requests and helped put together the perfect ceremony for our small, intimate wedding. Her style and delivery were perfect for engaging everyone and making them feel a part of the ceremony and she managed to cope with all the little ad libs and laughter from me and my bride. Would definitely recommend Kristen; in fact I already did to one of our wedding party getting married next year.”
“Our officiant was Kristen and we couldn’t have been more lucky than to be matched up with her. She personalized our ceremony in a way that was unique to us and incorporated all the aspects that we found important. She was calm and reassuring, a great resource for information, and was extremely organized and direct with her instructions (which made us feel more comfortable with something that could have been way more nerve wracking!). Such a pleasure to work with!”
“We wanted to write and say thank you so much for being part of OUR day! Honestly, pulling up in a cloud of dust after continuing a search for us (I am SO sorry about the directions!), you were such a delight! Although our parents weren’t there, I felt as though you were a proud mother sending me over the cliff to meet Matt! Many comments of how lovely and thoughtful, excited and appreciative of the work we had put in to create our day, and genuinely in love with what you do were said after you left, that is absolutely what couples should look for when they are seeking someone to marry them! We appreciated your excitement, your sincerity, our instant connection with you, your easy-going nature and the fact that you created a genuine celebration not for us, but WITH us. It was a day we will never forget and we couldn’t stop saying, on the drive home, how perfect everything was…even the timing! You were a beautiful part of our day. Thank you, thank you!”
“Kristen, officiated our wedding this August & I can only begin to tell you how amazing she is! I had an officiant already booked for our wedding, but when friends of ours got married in June with Kristen, I just knew I had to have her & cancelled our old officiant & booked her immediately! Kristen was amazing from the first email. She is incredibly sweet, prompt with returning emails, her outfits are appropriate & beautiful, & she just absolutely loves her job. Kristen is the first to tell you that she loves love & it is so apparent. Our ceremony was so personalized because Kristen actually cares enough to truly get to know her couples! I have had multiple friends & family members come to me & say how awesome she was also. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kristen, is an absolutely phenomenal person. My husband and I really wanted to have a personalized ceremony performed by someone who truly got us – from the moment we met Kristen we knew she was the one! Whether it was talking on the phone or chatting over coffee, Kristen took the time to really get to know us and our story and she quickly became our friend. Furthermore, my husband and I are not too fond of the spotlight, so the wedding ceremony was a source of anxiety for both of us. Kristen easily removed those anxieties for us, not only in the planning process, but on the day of as well. This is a great company with exceptional people and my husband and I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a truly special and personalized ceremony!”
“Kristen was nothing short of amazing! She came across as a very genuine and lovely person and was extremely attentive to any questions or concerns and in turn she was very informative. In the weeks leading up to our big day, she made sure that everything was dialled in and we were feeling comfortable. The ceremony was an awesome experience; She was able to set the tone for the day and tell our stories in a beautiful and very fun way. We cannot say enough good things about this lovely lady. Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for everything, Kristen!! You were awesome and made us both feel so comfortable on our big day, even though we were shaking with nerves. The ceremony was easier than I thought it would be. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!”
“Kristen was our officiant and she was completely amazing! Her ceremony was beautiful and we had tons of compliments from our family and friends on how great she was. She was an absolute pleasure to get to know and to work with. We had absolute peace of mind that we were looked after for our big day.”
“Kristen was amazing! We are so grateful to have had her as our officiant. From the beginning, our first meeting with Kristen, she was prompt, professional and she really loves what she does! Thank you so much for an amazing ceremony and thank you Kristen for all the work and time that you had put into the script and getting to really know us!”
“Thank you so much Kristen! It was certainly a magical and beautiful day! Couldn’t have pictured it any other way now. We are so happy and excited for what is next. Thank you so much for helping us commit to each other!”
“Mr. & Mrs. want to say thank you and a big hug to our amazing officiant Kristen!”
“Our officiant was Kristen and we couldn’t have been more lucky than to be matched up with her. She personalized our ceremony in a way that was unique to us and incorporated all the aspects that we found important. She was calm and reassuring, a great resource for information, and was extremely organized and direct with her instructions (which made us feel more comfortable with something that could have been way more nerve wracking!). Such a pleasure to work with!
Thank you again Kristen, for doing such an amazing job with our ceremony. Everyone told us that it was so clearly a reflection of us and that makes us so happy! We’ve just returned from our honeymoon and have been looking at the footage that our videographer shot of the ceremony—it brings tears of happiness to our eyes!”
“Kristen was an incredible officiant to work with right from the get go!
Arranging our first meeting was super easy as she was very flexible with when and where we could meet. When we first sat down with her in person, it was like she was a long lost friend! Both my (now) husband and I couldn’t believe how comfortable we felt inviting Kristen into our relationship.
Over the next few months Kristen was immensely helpful in walking us through how a ceremony comes together. She answered all of our questions and really listened to what we wanted, plus, she ran our rehearsal like a super friendly, super sweet drill sergeant which was EXACTLY what we needed!
The ceremony was completely perfect. We wouldn’t have changed a word. It made both of us laugh and both of us cry and it was just so “us.” We’re still hearing compliments from our guests weeks after the wedding!

We met a couple of other officiants, but when we met Kristen, we knew she was the one. She took the time to listen to our story and prepare a very a personalized ceremony and helped us with the vows. She came early and was dressed professionally. It was a great experience.”

The way she organised our ceremony was truly outstanding and she even suggested things we would have never thought of like our tree planting! Thank you Kristen so much for everything 🙂”

Thank you so much, Kristen! We received lots of compliments on the ceremony, so that was definitely all you! We were on tip toes when you spoke of our story, all ears!
Finally, I especially enjoined the little banter you and Toby had during the rehearsal, over which hand to use for the exchange of rings. Such a true demonstration of professionalism!
Thank you for everything!”

We thank you so much for guiding and supporting us all the way from the beginning with our thoughts and ideas for the ceremony. You were very present and we felt very secure in you leading the ceremony.
We are glad that we met you before the ceremony and got to know you. We are also glad you mingled with Simon and our friends before the ceremony. That meant a lot to us 😊
Thank you so much Kristen! We will always remember you being a part of our very beautiful, important and romantic day. We hope our paths will cross again some day…”
