Christy Harman Weddings

Christy was once a wedding planner and now finds her interest in being a celebrant for couples! Christy was a blessing to have as our wedding celebrant for several reasons. First, Christy made the process of hiring her personalized by giving us the opportunity to speak over the phone. During this hour long conversation, I learned alot about Christy’s experience and she learned alot about my now husband and I. She was inquisitive and showed passion for learning more about our relationship, our wedding planning, and our future! She even gave my marital advice the moment she could tell I was facing stress in the planning process with family strain. Second, my husband and I met with Christy as a Panera before our wedding day and spent several hours getting to know her, her getting to know us, and feeling as though we have a mini-premarital counseling before our wedding day. We could tell how much this process means to her and how much she cares for the couples she marries! Because Christ has had prior wedding planning experience, she knows how to organize the ceremony in the most efficient manner and had great tips for including junior bridesmaids/groomsman in the ceremony itself. Because my father has passed, she gave us great advice on how to handle my brother walking me down the aisle, and having my now husband meet us part way to exchange my hand to his. Thirdly, Christy ran our rehearsal smoothly and the wedding day ceremony itself was amazing! Christy spoke about each of our love stories and how we ended up there. She made our guests feel filled with love and hope, while also getting a few laughs in there as well. Christy was professional in both her demeanor and dress. I am thankful for Christy! She is a true blessing!

Absolutely amazing she makes you two feel comfortable and prepared at rehearsal and once it’s time to walk down the isle you’re more than ready. She guides you through everything on the day of because obviously you’re going to forget due to the nervousness. So happy with her and couldn’t recommend her enough!

Christy was wonderful! She was so helpful through the entire process and was able to help answer all of our questions. She helped us come up with great ways to share our love with everyone involved. You know right off the bat that she does this for the love of each couple and works to make sure you are happy through the entire wedding process. On the day, of she was so helpful and made sure to check in with us and make sure everything was running smoothly. We are so grateful to have found her and truly enjoyed working with Christy.

Christy was a wonderful officiant and we are SO glad we chose to work with her. We knew we wanted a personalized wedding ceremony and boy did she deliver. The questionnaire she has couples fill out is turned into a beautiful portion of the ceremony. Our guests spent the entire night telling us how unique and special the ceremony was. Christy herself was a calming presence on the day and during the planning process, and we never worried once about how things would go. I can't recommend her enough!!

Christy made our ceremony so special and unique. Many guests went out of their way to tell me it was the best wedding ceremony they’d ever attended, and some of these folks have been to a LOT of weddings this year. She gave us both a detailed questionnaire that we answered separately, then incorporated our answers into a custom-made ceremony. She gave us the perfect number of options to choose from without being overwhelming, and we ended up writing our own vows based on some of the templates and ideas she provided. You can tell she truly loves helping people get married, and this infectious positive energy seeps into everything she does.

We absolutely loved having Christy as our Officiant! If you are looking for someone who is going to take the time to talk with you and really get to know you, Christy is that person. Not only was she quick to respond to my request, but I think we initially talked on the phone for 45 minutes. She asked questions about me, my fiancé and our relationship. She then walked me through the process of shaping the wedding vows and ring exchange, in addition to a simple questionnaire she sent out to me and my fiancé. It included questions like “when you first met, what did you think to yourself, “what was your favorite day together”, etc. These questions were fun, as they gave us time to reflect on our time together. We both filled them out and emailed them to Christy separately to use as part of the ceremony. Once it came time for the big day, we really had no idea what Christy had written in her speech (other than the vow and ring exchange we decided on). I was honestly so excited to hear this for the first time. She certainly had us laughing by the responses we gave for each other. She didn’t simply just read the questions and answers, but took the time to craft a nice speech that flowed beautifully. I for some reason thought the ceremony was going to be short and sweet, but it was the perfect amount of time and oh, so sweet! It was honestly my favorite part of the entire wedding! Everyone in the Richmond area looking for an Officiant for their wedding should certainly consider Christy Harman Weddings.

Christy is just wonderful. Our ceremony was exactly what we envisioned. She incorporated all the elements we wanted and then added her on special touches at just the right moments! So many of our guests remarked on the beauty and uniqueness of the ceremony. We are so grateful that we found her ! Definitely recommend Christy to anyone who desires a sweet romantic and very personal wedding experience!

Christy is absolutely wonderful! She listens to her couples, and gets who they are so quickly. She delivered the prefect ceremony for us. She is flexible, thoughtful, and absolutely the person you want in your corner heading into a life changing event!

Christy exceeded our expectations! She helped us plan our ceremony and created a personable message that left everyone smiling and laughing. She’s detailed orientated and communicated/checked up on us throughout the planning period. Her personality is radiant, making you feel like you’ve known her forever and will make the ceremony feel natural. A true pleasure to work with, look no further, Christy will make your special day truly memorable.

Last weekend, Christy officiated my wedding to my long-time girlfriend and, boy—I couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us! Originally, our marriage was going to be a small, casual thing and just the three of us were going to be there. By the time we made it to the day, it had become a more formal, intimate ceremony with our parents and siblings there with us. Throughout the week leading up to it, Christy and I had open communication, and she went above and beyond to make this day special for us. My now wife and I feel so very blessed that we found Christy Harman. Christy, thank you for being such an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. You made two women incomparably happy. Love is love!

Christy did a fantastic job of officiating my wedding. She was a pleasure working with and helped guide us through our ceremony with ease. She was very responsive while we were planning our wedding and answered any questions we had along the way. We were truly lucky to have Christy be a part of our wedding day and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant.

There is nothing in this world that Christy would rather be doing than helping to plan and carry out the most important day of a couple’s life. She was born to serve in this capacity and it is clear from her many prior events that she attends to every detail and is able to work within every budget, whether large or small. Her ability to listen and lead with a servant heart means she puts her clients needs and wants above all else. There is no doubt that your day will be all you’ve dreamed of and more if you choose Christy to bring your wedding vision to life.

Christy’s attention and dedication to her clients is above most. She comes from a customer service background and it shows. She custom makes your ceremony so you feel at ease and comfortable. Her only concern is providing you with an amazing day filled with memories that will be meaningful many years down the road. She goes above and beyond- thinking outside of the box for you as her couple. Her years of experience also shows in volume. You will love working with her as much I did
