Christina was wonderful and we were so pleased with her as our officiant! About a month before our wedding, our officiant unexpectedly cancelled. We were in a panic, but found On P...
oint Officiant and Christina. After our consultation call, we both thought she would be perfect fit for our personalities and micro wedding.
She really got to know our story, our history, and put it beautifully into words during the ceremony. We wanted something short and sweet, and that is exactly why we got from her! She was very professional, likeable and kind, and I can’t recommend her enough!

et with us on video ahead of time and offered helpful information about the area and possible vendors. She curated the most beautiful personalized and exceptionally-articulated vows for our day, formed from a detailed questionnaire both my husband and I filled in about a month beforehand. We could not have imagined a better delivery of some of the most important words we'll ever hear/speak. Thank you, Christina and On Point! Highly recommend.

Christina was incredible. She captured our love and made us feel so comfortable. We are so happy to have had her a part of our big day!
We can't say enough good things about Christina from On Point Officiant. She helped make our special day perfect. After our first meeting with her I knew we found the right person....
She asked us what we wanted in our ceremony and then sent us writing prompts for our vows and a questionnaire that let us tell her what we valued and what we wanted in our ceremony. She reviewed our vows and offered some editing. She also compared the length of our vows for us so we could see if they were similar without seeing what the other person wrote.
On the day of our wedding she was dressed very nicely. She was professional and composed. She knew exactly how to handle our marriage license. Our ceremony was nontraditional and we asked her to write in some things specific to us. The ceremony she wrote was perfect. It blew us away. She even incorporated a quote from a favorite song of ours.
We can't recommend Christina and On Point Officiant enough.
Christina was an absolute dream to work with!! We planned our wedding remotely and so we of course had some anxiety about how it would all finally come together on the big day. Chr...

y now husband. I did not know where to begin and contacted different wedding officiants and she was the only one that contacted me by phone and gave me the run down! I was so lucky to have found her and let me just say she will not disappoint. She gets right to it and makes your day truly special!! Thank you Christina!!!!!
We were so happy and thrilled that we found Christina! When my now-wife and I were looking for someone to officiate our sort-of-fast-tracked elopement, we were so relieved to have ...
worked with Christina with on Point Officiant. Christina's process in getting to know who she's marrying is very welcoming and convenient (thanks, Zoom!). From video chats to questionnaires to emails and texts, Christina helped give us assurance and comfort in how we were going about everything given this is both of our first times getting married!
In the short 4 weeks or so of us planning our elopement and working with Christina, when we finally met in person on the day of our elopement, even our wedding photographer asked if we are all old friends and knew each other from before -- that's just how welcoming, warm, and loving Christina is, and her professionalism to top things off helped give us the elopement of our dreams.
Thank you, Christina! :)

nown forever. She helped us with every step of the way from the moment we booked her, through rehearsals and our wedding itself. She easily answered every question we had.

We were married in early December and searched quite a bit for someone to officiate our special day. That’s when we came across Christina! We do not consider ourselves religious an...
d were not looking for a very long ceremony. We knew that we wanted and that is exactly what we got when she officiated. Christina was the best to work with, she asked questions, scheduled a couple of calls and was prepared. The ceremony was perfect for us, she made it light, threw in a favorite musical quote of ours from a favorite band and we could not be happier. There is no way we could have found someone better for this role and we would recommend her to anyone who knows exactly what they want in an officiant. Thanks so much for all of your help Christina!

Christina was beyond amazing. We booked her three months before our event because our other officiant plans fell through. She was so responsive, listened attentively to our needs, ...
and made me feel immediately comfortable over the phone. I interviewed other potential officiants but I could not get Christina out of my head. She very clearly told us exactly what to bring and handled the entire legal aspect of how to get married. She also wrote us a beautiful ceremony, was extremely willing to change it for the very few change requests we had, and sent us the ceremony script a week before the wedding. She walked such a wonderful fine line of making the ceremony feel like us while also including more traditional aspects to make our parents happy. My sister's husband told us it was the most beautiful ceremony he had ever attended. Honestly, Christina should charge way more than she is. Book her while you can!

We felt comfortable having her officiate our wedding. We are glad how our ceremony came out to because it reflected who we are and it was special for us. She definitely is someone you would want to have officiate your wedding.
My husband and I renewed our vows after 30 years of marriage. It was a very special time and Christina made the whole experience personal and very memorable.
Tina is an excellent wedding officiant! She is well spoken and professional but also makes it fun and lighthearted!

husband and I eloped and Christina helped walk us through our need to knows for the ceremony. She helped us think through quotes and add ons to the ceremony (ex. El lazo) and really held our hands through the process. She’s super fun and personable and really wanted to get to know us before performing the ceremony too to make it personalized to our situation. It was perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us.
Christina officiated our wedding in 2016, and it was her first time officiating! You could NOT tell, though. She made us feel comfortable and confident in her abilities from the be...
ginning, and we couldn't have been happier with how our day turned out. Thanks, Christina!
OMG! Where to start? Miss Tina was the
glue to my wedding day! I am 25 years old and
have never hosted a family party before. It
was so stressful to plan every detail and make
sure...
it was up to mine and my husband's
expectations, but what made everything
easier was having someone like Tina right by
my side. She went above and beyond her role
as our officiant. Every time I had a question,
every time I needed something, she was right
there! I couldn't have asked for a better
officiant for my wedding day!
