We could not be happier with Kristen. She is such a bright and friendly person who helped us immensely with our rehearsal and wedding day. We were a ball of nerves the day of but her presence, her calm and friendly demeanor, helped us at the alter and made our day incredibly special. I have seen quite a few officiants perform wedding ceremonies, but trust me, if you need an officiant, your want Kristen.

We cannot thank Kristen and Taylor enough for the incredible job they did at our wedding. From the very beginning, they made us feel at ease and ensured that we were comfortable throughout the entire process. Their warm and welcoming demeanor helped us feel like we were in great hands. We felt so relaxed and confident, knowing we had the right person leading us through such an important moment. If you're looking for someone who is not only professional but also genuinely kind and considerate, we highly recommend Kristen and Taylor!

Kristen was amazing to work with! Super professional, organized, and easy to communicate with. One thing that I love is that she sends off your marriage license for you so it doesn’t get lost or ruined during the chaos of pictures and then the reception. Highly recommend her services!

Kristen did a fantastic job from the very beginning. She was very professional and reliable. My fiancé was very nervous about speaking in front of so many guests, but Kristen's calm and peaceful demeanor made a world of difference, and she went above and beyond to make our wedding ceremony a beautiful event.

Kristen was fantastic! Organized and communicative, and overall, very professional. She had excellent options for how to craft the script of the ceremony with plenty of room for personalizing it. She was lovely to work with, walked us through what to expect for the ceremony, and filed our license immediately. We highly recommend Ceremonies By Kristen 😊

Kristen recently did our ceremony for us! She was professional, but still personal. She gives you options for each section of your ceremony and then you pick what fits best for you as a couple. It’s a very easy, straightforward process! She does not require you to do any kind of pre-marital counseling like a lot of officiants we found required. Her ceremonies are secular, but you can also add or modify anything you would like. Several people commented on how beautiful our ceremony was! We did not choose to include any traditions (like a sand ceremony), but you can also do this. Altogether, we highly recommend using her!

Kristen was an incredible officiant, well-informed of the ceremony process and extremely professional. She scheduled several virtual appointments throughout our wedding planning process to answer any questions or concerns we had as well as took into consideration what we wanted for our ceremony. The day of our wedding couldn’t have gone any better and our ceremony was very heartfelt and full of love thanks to Kristen’s guidance and direction. If we could we would book Kristen several times over. If you’re looking into her services and are reading this review, stop what you’re doing right now and get in contact with her immediately!

Kristen was easy to work with, friendly, and professional. We wanted a very small, short ceremony, and Kristen helped us get everything just right. She supplied vows and other verbiage that made it easy to customize the ceremony just for us. She let us know what to expect and sent along helpful reminders as needed.
