Hand Heart and Crown Weddings

of everything before you even have time to, and makes the process so easy. The ceremony aspect was hands down the easiest part of our wedding planning because of Christel. Absolutely recommend!! 

r planner recommended Christel, and we said “sure,” not realizing how meaningful that decision would become. Looking back, she didn’t just officiate our wedding—she elevated the entire experience in a way we’ll never forget. From the very beginning, Christel went above and beyond. She took the time to check in with us before the ceremony and walked us through everything, so we felt completely prepared. On the day itself, when I started to feel overwhelmed, she grounded me in the most genuine, calming way. She reminded me to breathe. The ceremony she created was absolutely beautiful. She was thoughtful and intentional, and she truly listened to what we wanted, shaping something that felt uniquely us. It wasn’t just a script—it was a reflection of our relationship, delivered with warmth, grace, and authenticity. Beyond her professionalism (which is unmatched), what really stood out is who Christel is as a person. She is incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuine. She blended so naturally with our friends and family that many people assumed she was someone we had known for years. That says everything. What we thought would be an afterthought became one of the most impactful parts of our wedding—not just because of the role she played, but because of the heart she brought to it. Christel left a lasting impression on us and everyone who was there. There truly aren’t enough words to capture how grateful we are for her.

If you are considering an officiant, we cannot recommend Christel highly enough.

at our vow renewal 🥰🥰 Her husband Austin was our photographer. He was an absolute joy as well! Love the energy and the vision he had for all our photos.

She’s so full of love and compassion, definitely reach out to her if you’re searching for an officiant that gives your wedding a personal touch. Thank you so much, Christel! Love,  The Wheelers

ween us before the ceremony to make sure we were all on the same page. I do wish the ceremony had been a little shorter, she had added in a paragraph or so from her selections, and then read a substantial portion of our letters, but rain was extremely imminent which had everyone a little stressed about time. Otherwise we had an amazing ceremony.

ount of humor and personality into the ceremony to keep people engaged. We were also able to meet with her several times before the ceremony and she personalized it so well to us. Highly recommend Christel for your ceremony!

use 6, 8 or 10 stars aren't available. She and her husband were perfect for our big day. Kept us calm, focused and made everything memorable in so many ways. Most importantly they knew how to let us be us and enjoy the process. Highly professional from beginning to end. Their knowledge, creativity and passion for giving us the best experience possible is something that we'll always remember and be thankful for.
