Katrina Baecht at Spoken Heart Ceremonies

Katrina Baecht at Spoken Heart Ceremonies was one of our most important hires in making our wedding feel truly personalized. Through a combination of Zoom and in-person meetings, Katrina expertly guided us through the components of the ceremony. She crafted a custom ceremony that was touching, sincere and unforgettable for everyone present. One of her suggestions was a ceremony ritual that we can carry forward from our wedding day to celebrate our anniversaries. It was simple yet meaningful, perfectly reflecting “us” – and something we would not have thought of ourselves. Collaborating with Katrina on our vows was one of our highlights of the planning process, allowing us to focus on the genuine significance of marriage. Katrina deserves 5-stars, and we wholeheartedly recommend her with our deepest gratitude.

If you're searching for an officiant who will make your wedding day truly unforgettable, look no further. From the very beginning, she takes the time to ask thoughtful questions and really gets to know you as a couple. Our ceremony was nothing short of magical, and we're still receiving compliments on how personal and meaningful it was. The ‘homework’ Katrina had us do was such a unique touch – it helped my husband and me connect on a deeper level and made the experience even more special. Since our wedding, three of my bridesmaids, all of whom recently got engaged, have already decided to have Katrina officiate their ceremonies. She is, without a doubt, the best choice for any couple looking for a heartfelt and memorable ceremony!

Katrina is a ceremony writing wizard. My husband and I met online so our meet cute wasn't too terribly romantic or interesting, or so we thought. She met with us, asked us questions and then crafted a ceremony that brought tears to my eyes. Luckily since I got to hear it before the wedding I didn't mess up my makeup on the day though!

It's difficult to even begin to encapsulate what Katrina Baecht does as an officiant; her unique talent and level of dedication are extraordinary. A wedding ceremony is a part of the wedding that most couples tend to overlook — we're all used to the staid and stuffy old conventions that typically make guests' eyes glaze over, with the same "in holy matrimony" verbiage copypasted into seemingly every wedding ceremony. This part is so ingrained in us that we didn't even realize we could do something different, something special. Before encountering Katrina, my wife and I never knew a wedding ceremony could be so perfectly tailored to our story and our personalities. Her samples of ceremony options instantly shifted our perspective, and as soon as we started reading them we got excited and knew we were in good hands. We then met with Katrina over coffee and chatted with her about our story, how we got together and the overall narrative arc of our relationship. She drew out our story and our ideas about the wedding and its significance in our lives, and in just a few minutes she presented us with a draft of the ceremony that nearly brought us to tears. Her ability to listen, process, and translate a couple's narrative into a beautiful personalized ceremony is an art form bordering on magic. Katrina helped us through several iterations, ensuring it captured the tone and spirit we envisioned. She made recommendations for composing vows, and we happily adopted them and worked together to create the perfect vows for us. After the wedding, she gave us a manuscript of the ceremony with our vows included, and it's something we will cherish forever. Discovering Katrina felt like a major puzzle piece snapping perfectly into place for our wedding, and not only did it put us at ease and make us feel confident in our wedding, it also made us feel so honored to have her there to be a part of it. When people ask about my favorite part of the wedding, I don't hesitate to say it was the ceremony. If you want your wedding to feel special, let Katrina be your guide. Highest, highest recommendation.

Katrina Baecht is the best wedding officiant!! She is organized, understanding, professional, and helpful. It was easy to talk and work with Katrina. She provided super helpful guides to help us piece our ceremony and vows together. So many of our guests complimented us about our officiant and our ceremony. We had a specific theme for our wedding and Katrina helped us creatively think of ways to include readings and rituals that matched our theme into our ceremony. My husband said to me on our wedding day, “Katrina used the perfect inflections just as I envisioned when we wrote this” Thank you, Katrina for helping us create such a beautiful ceremony that will last forever in our hearts and memories. We will cherish them forever!
