Kristin was so helpful in our whole process, with some unique blended family considerations, and Covid considerations. She was very communicative all along the way and we were very happy with the ceremony.
I can’t say enough good things about Kristin. What an absolutely lovely person. She took the time to really get to know us through the love questionnaires she sends, along with a video call to learn more about us. She took the stories we told in our questionnaire and wrote the most beautiful ceremony script I could have imagined. It was so personal and so special, so many guests not only complimented the way she spoke during the ceremony, but also said that they’d never been to a ceremony that was so beautiful and personal. I had a few people say that they never cry at weddings, but they cried during our ceremony because it was so incredibly well written and impactful. I couldn’t have imagined a better person to choose to be our officiant. Not only was she a dream to work with in the process of writing the ceremony, but when she arrived, she was punctual, and helped get things handled while we were waiting for the ceremony to begin. She also checked in with me and my husband which I thought was really sweet. I actually was so nervous for my ceremony that I almost walked down the aisle without my bouquet! Kristin popped in just before the ceremony to remind me to grab it! We adored working with Kristin, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much for everything, Kristin, you made our dream day come true!
Kristin was amazing! She made everything so simple and easy for us which honestly is the biggest and only thing I ask for in any vendor. She created questionnaires that help us make sure our ceremony was tailored to us as a couple. She gave us very detail information on how to apply for the marriage license and certificate. It made things easy for us and I don't have do my own research.
Kristin was amazing in creating a personalized ceremony for us. We worked closely with her in capturing our love perfectly. Thank you for everything you have done to help us create such an intimate moment.
If you are looking for an officiant, look no further. Kristin, is your person!!! She married us at the beginning of July and it could not of been more perfect. From the moment she got there, the hug she gave me and asking me if I needed anything, put me at such ease, it felt like an old friend showing up. We chose to go with a script she already had, but she edited it a tiny bit to fit us, and it fit us perfectly. We also chose not to write out vows and used some she had and even those were perfect. I would recommend Kristen to anyone we knew looking for an officiant.
Kristin was amazing! Everyone was talking about how good her script was and how clearly she spoke. She was very clear and helpful on what we needed to do and eased our nerves. She is also very good at communicating and making the process a lot easier!
Kristin is so friendly, professional, and such a pleasure to work with. She explained the process step by step, from obtaining the marriage license to the breakdown of the ceremony, making it stress free for me and my husband. My husband and I received many compliments on how Kristin officiated our wedding and how well she connected with our guests. I highly recommend Kristin!
We loved Kristin! She was a pleasure to work with and delivered the perfect ceremony. We used pieces of various ceremony templates she provided while personalizing them and including a candle lighting ceremony portion. She reviewed our personal vows before the wedding and was such a pleasure before and after the ceremony. She’s so enthusiastic and passionate about what she does. I definitely recommend her and couldn’t be happier with my decision.
This review is so incredibly long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but absolutely wanted to take the time to give Kristin the recognition she deserves! Our ceremony was absolutely perfect in every way, we could not have asked for a better officiant than Kristin. We felt very comfortable with her from the beginning and her whole process is very easy and stress free. We loved the templates she offered and also love that she offers a completely personalized option. Even though we went with one her templates, we still felt it properly captured how we feel about marriage and love, it felt very personal to us and it was written beautifully. We were still able to say our own written vows and it flowed so well with her script. Communication was very clear and easy, she never made us feel any sort of stress which was so appreciated. We feel very lucky that Kristin was the person to marry us and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Kristin was the celebrant of our wedding, and we couldn’t have wished for a friendlier, warmer, funnier, more professional or heartfelt person to perform our ceremony!
Kristin was able to make plans at short notice, and be incredibly flexible - even though we were doing a small wedding with just the two of us, and a relatively short ceremony, she went absolutely above and beyond, not only suggesting potential beach spots where we could get married, but then offering to travel from Ventura down to Point Dume to perform our small ceremony, rather than asking us to go to her location instead, like all the other celebrants we had tried!
She delivered a lovely service against the backdrop of the ocean and the sunset that was truly perfect, and was so friendly throughout that we ended up inviting her to our small wedding dinner after - and we would now have no hesitation in thinking of her as a good friend!
Thankyou again so much Kristin, you made our day truly special and we couldn’t have done it without you!

Kristin helped us so much! She made our beach wedding so perfect! She is so sweet and helpful! I definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to celebrate their special day!! Thankyou Kristin!
Love, the durans
Kristin was truly a dream to work with. To the breakdown of how everything works to choosing how our ceremony was read. It was easy and ended up being better than we could have hoped. She engaged our family and friends and made a very nervous bride and groom feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her!
Kristin was the BEST wedding officiant we could've asked for! My husband and I were both a little nervous for our big day, but she made us feel at ease and made sure our ceremony ran smoothly. She also did a fantastic job helping us at our wedding rehearsal, so we knew exactly what to do during the ceremony. We loved her pre-written vows as well, and she had lots to choose from. She was definitely a highlight of our wedding, I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant in the Venutra area!
Kristin was so easy to work with and created such a beautiful ceremony for us. It was personal and romantic and represented us 100%. Kristin also did a hand-fasting ceremony for us which was a truly special moment.
As two gay men getting married, we knew from the start that we wanted a woman to be our wedding officiant - and when a good friend of ours referred us to Kristin Cusenbary and Seaside Ceremonies, we knew we’d found the right person to help us tie the know on our special day. Over a series of months, we met via Zoom with Kristin, with her really getting to know the two of us in a very special way. Kristin made us feel at ease, and via a detailed questionnaire that each of us filled out separately, she was able to craft a memorable and very meaningful ceremony script for the wedding day. Without having ever met her in person, we got a great feeling from Kristin - and when the day came that she delivered our actual ceremony script, we were equal parts excited / scared / anxious - all rolled into one. We opened up her email and read what she had written - and we literally had to stop multiple times to wipe away the tears from our eyes. She got everything so perfect - from tiny details we’d included in our questionnaires to things we’d mentioned in passing to her via zoom and emails. She wove the story of our love together so beautifully and we knew immediately that the ceremony would be deeply moving for our guests. We made a few minor tweaks to what she’d written, but overall she’d done an amazing job. Kristin joined us on the day of our rehearsal, truly the first time we’d met her face to face. At this point, she knew us intimately, and helped to soothe our fears and put us at ease. On the day of the wedding, we were calm and cool … until it came time to actually walk down the aisle. But at the end, there stood Kristin, ready to take us to the next chapter! And while it mattered not in the least, Kristin is gorgeous - and her radiant smile welcomed us like an old friend. The script she had written was perhaps a little longer than others - but it was filled with love and told our story in a magical and wonderful way - bringing both tears and laughter to our friends and family who joined us. Kristin was a pro - helping those in our wedding party, working with our wedding planner and the musicians - making everything seamless and stress-free on our wedding day. Before we knew it, the ceremony was done and Kristin took care of the details of our marriage license. And before she left, we managed to get a few photos with her - and gave her our thanks. The ceremony that she wrote for us is something we’ll treasure forever. We have those beautiful words to look back on - to reflect on - and we couldn’t have been more pleased with all that she brought to the most special day of our lives together.
Absolutely amazing.
We were both very nervous about the ceremony bit of the day, but Kristin held our hands and helped us develop a truly tailored and meaningful ceremony just for us. I feel like our guests got to know us even better as a couple, there was not a dry eye in the crowd, and the whole vibe was totally us!
You can clearly see the passion and interest Kristin has for creating the perfect day for you :) She really takes the time to get to know you as individuals, a couple, and your story. Communication was easy, even with the 9-hour time difference. On the day of, she also jumped in spontaneously to get this running more smoothly, thank you so much for that, Kristin!
I would highly, highly recommend working with her. It was truly a pleasure.
Kristin was wonderful to work with before the wedding, all the way leading up to the wedding and on our actual wedding day. Kristin did a great job writing us a very personal ceremony speech that really expressed our love story for our friends and family. On the actual wedding day, Kristin arrived early and made sure to check in with us to see if we needed anything and that our whole bridal party was all set for the walk down the aisle. During the ceremony, our microphone / speakers were actually malfunctioning a bit but Kristin ended up solving the problem by just projecting loud and clear so that everyone could hear her. After the ceremony, Kristin even helped us wrangle friends and family for pictures while she patiently waited to get a picture with us. Kristin exceeded our expectations and was so professional from start to finish. We can't recommend Kristin enough--thank you to Kristin for making our wedding day all that much more special!
I will say the moment we spoke to Kristen we could feel the enthusiasm and passion for what she does. She made the whole experience from start to finish perfect. She gave us various options and it was extremely well put together. The day of the wedding was amazing and she just enhanced the moment. We couldnt of asked for a better person to marry us. I would recommend her to anyone!
Kristin was so amazing to work with! Everyone told us how incredible she made the ceremony and how fun she was! We agree! She has made the scary process super easy, even with a hiccup on the county’s end. We could not be more grateful to have worked with Kristin!
Kristin was a professional and a joy to work with from the beginning until the end. She was prompt in answering emails, printed out our vows, and even wanted a picture with us! She had so many great ideas to add to our ceremony that I have not thought of before. I cried when she sent the rough draft of our ceremony because it was so uniquely us and had everything we wanted out of our ceremony. A guest at our wedding asked us about Kristin during the reception and we could not say enough good things about her. I highly recommend her!
Kristin was wonderful, professional, and really heard out our preferences. She was able to personalize our ceremony to be our own.
Kristin was a delight to work with from beginning to end. I felt like she really understood our relationship and what we were hoping to achieve with the ceremony. She made the whole process fun and easy. I could not have asked for a better officiant!
Deb was seriously the best wedding officiant we could have ever asked for. We gave her a prompt based off of what she described on her website and she delivered and more. She was funny, professional, and the overall best. We had so many compliments from our guests on how great our officiant was for the ceremony. She also was so great with getting all of the paperwork filled out and making sure everything was correct. She is really the best of the best in the wedding industry and we couldn't recommend her enough!!
We had a great experience with Kristin and would recommend her! She collaborated with us to create a script that we were happy with, and she performed it enthusiastically for our ceremony. She is very professional and knowledgeable; she helped us prepare for our marriage license appointment, filed our document and obtained copies for us quickly, and shared useful advice about how to go proceed with my name change. She’s very communicative every step of the way, and we felt like we were in good hands. Kristin is an experienced officiant, and a pleasure to work with!
Kristin is amazing! She walked us through every step, from the marriage license process to the wording of the ceremony. We were thoroughly surprised by how many compliments we received from our guests about how much they loved our ceremony and our vows. Kristin’s approach to officiating is so organic and well expressed. She calmed our nerves while also drawing in our guests to be fully present during the ceremony. Highly recommend Kristin for anyone looking for both a fun and incredibly meaningful ceremony.
My husband I were just married by Kristin, and I would recommend her to anybody! Throughout the entire process - of searching for an officiant, hiring, discussing what we wanted out of our ceremony, composing a script, performing the ceremony, and filing the paperwork - Kristin was exceptional! Not only was she professional and kind, but her knowledge of the marriage process in California was plain as day. She helpfully gives guidelines on how the process works, and provided instructions on post-wedding tasks (i.e., name changes, etc.). I highly recommend hiring Kristin and Seaside Ceremonies for your elopement/wedding!
Kristin is amazing! She was very responsive and addressed any questions my husband and I had. We loved how she was able to incorporate our baby that we are expecting into our ceremony. She was open to any requests that we had, and her ceremony templates were all really nice. The officiating that she did on our wedding day really made our ceremony special. Thank you for officiating our wedding!!
My husband and I just got married in February and we were so happy with Kristin, she is so personable and kind. We had our elopement done by her in February and our wedding was officiated as well. We had a inter cultural inter faith event for the wedding and Kristin was very receptive to our wants and needs. I couldn’t have asked for a more moving ceremony and it made our day that much more special.
We were beyond happy with Kristin, the way she works is amazing very personalized and also she helped us out a lot with our vows and to figure out other details to have the most incredible ceremony. The ceremony was our favorite part of the wedding because she made it so unique, her vibe is definitely beautiful, we recommend her 100% you won’t regret it ✨ thank you Kristin! we can tell you love what you do. 🤍
Seaside Ceremonies is an excellent choice for a thoughtful and talented officiant whose love of her craft is evident.
Was on time. She was really friendly and professional. Would highly recommend.
Kristin provided an amazing ceremony, wonderfully unique to our personal story and related to our wedding theme. She was very patient and helpful, kept in good contact, and was open to our suggestions. We are grateful for her service and would certainly recommend her to others.
Kristin is an amazing officiant, she created a incredible and personalized ceremony for our wedding.Kristin is very professional, flexible and knowledgeable. We had a destination wedding in CA, she walked us through the process of obtaining a marriage license in CA. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful thanks to Kristin.
Kristin was wonderful. She gave us just the right amount of guidance for our elopement ceremony and vows, including suggesting a really touching rock ceremony, which fit our park venue and our love of nature perfectly. She was flexible in adjusting the ceremony to our needs and a general joy to be around. 5 stars!
Thank you Kristin for a beautiful ceremony, for making us feel calm and for all the beautiful words you shared!
Kristin was awesome every step of the way. Her pricing is better than most and well worth what you get. Do yourself a favor and don't waste any more time searching and go with her.
My husband and I were blown away at how amazing our experience with Kristin was. From the moment we sent in our inquiry to after the ceremony when it was time to file our paperwork, Kristin made our experience so easy by providing thorough instructions on how to prepare and complete every step that was needed as well as performing an absolutely beautiful ceremony that we'll never forget. She is kind, professional, organized and fun! If you are in the Ventura County area and tying the knot soon, please do yourself a favor and book with Seaside Ceremonies!
Kristin is FABULOUS. Can't recommend her enough! She did a great job getting to know us, working with us to design a ceremony had the right balance of traditional and unique to us. She was a consummate pro on the wedding day, delivering a speech that was charming, beautiful, funny, and poetic. She was a high note of a wonderful day, and would be an excellent addition to any wedding ceremony.
My fiancé & I were so excited for our wedding scheduled for mid-June of 2020. We had everything planned & booked for a summer beach ceremony. However, in March news of the COVID-19 pandemic began to surface. We waited it out for a while hoping for the best, but in April we had to make the difficult decision for the safety of our families & friends to postpone our wedding until the following summer.
Five months later my fiancé’s company began lay-offs due to the pandemic. We were worried about not having health benefits &/or visitation rights should one of us become severely ill. We discussed it, & decided that we didn’t want to take any chances by waiting to get married next year.
Kristen was so professional & kind. Without hesitation she offered to perform a brief ceremony in addition to also keeping our “official” 2021 ceremony date as planned. Kristen married us in a park under a big tree on a beautiful sunny day in mid October. She kept the ceremony short & sweet. Her kind words were so comforting that for the moment we forgot we were in a pandemic, & were able to mindfully focus on each other. Kristen made our “unofficially official” special day something we will always remember.
We wanted a very simple wedding and Kristin made it happen! She was super easy to work with, provided great communication, and gave an amazing ceremony! She was great! 5 stars all the way!
Kristin is amazing! She officiated our elopement, and it was nothing short of perfection. She is the epitome of professionalism and made the entire process so enjoyable. If you're looking for a deeply personal and special ceremony, she's your gal!
5 stars and beyond. I highly recommend Kristin .
She walks you through every step of the process including obtaining a marriage license all the way to the other side once you're married.
She has a great energy and spirit and truly knows how to write and personalize each ceremony. You can be as involved or not involved as you please and she will accommodate.
I also appreciated how she made the ceremony about us and not her
While looking for officiants via websites, YouTube etc we noticed quite a few "show" people offering services
And we got concerned they'd make the ceremony more about them . With Kristin this is not the case.
As I said 5 stars and beyond.
Kristin is AMAZING! Selecting her as our officiant was an easy decision to make for us. We virtually met online and had an easy connection. Kristin is thorough, timely, professional and easy to communicate with. She nailed our custom ceremony, and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed listening to her speech. Would highly recommend!!
Kristin was everything and more! So glad we chose her to be a part of our special day. She was extremely informative and has a great personality. Highly recommend :)
Kristin was a great wedding officiant. She was prompt, professional and clear in her communication along the way. She made everything easy from payment to messages on her online communication portal. We had a perfect day. We wanted to get married through the County Clerk's office, but they are only issuing licenses, not ceremonies due to the pandemic. We wanted something short, simple, and casual. Kristin set the perfect tone and met our expectations for what we requested and her prices are very reasonable.
Like many brides and grooms, we were affected by COVID 19 and had to postpone our wedding. Once our county started issuing marriage licenses, Kristin was the first person we thought of for our backyard intimate wedding. I knew Kristin because she was also an officiant when I was a bridesmaid for another wedding. Kristin was a true professional, but also made our ceremony feel so special. Our parents enjoyed her as well too! She was easy to work with, organized, and responsive to any of our questions. She ensured that we were all being safe and kept our social distance. Her website is also user friendly and easy to use - we were very impressed how organized it was too! Despite these challenging times, you can count on Kristin! We wish her all the success!
Kristin was nothing short of amazing . We had several extenuating circumstances occur simultaneously that probably should have derailed our Wedding Plans but Kristin kept bringing up creative solutions that got us through and we had a wonderful ceremony and could not be happier.
Kristin is an absolute pleasure to work with. From her initial e-mail, to the moment she married us, every step was so easy and seamless. Not only is she kind and sweet, she is amazing at what she does. She has a way with words and wrote us the most beautiful ceremony that my husband and I could have ever dreamed of. She thinks of every little detail! Even our very strict and very religious parents were extremely impressed with her. Thank you, Kristin!!!!
We could have not asked for a better officiant! From the moment we met, I felt like we have known each other forever. My husband and I wanted a non religious ceremony that did not put our guests to sleep. Kristin sure did just that! She came up with an amazing ceremony personalized to our love story. She also came up with the perfect unity ceremony! Our guests still talk about our wedding a month later saying how our ceremony was the best part! We are so thankful to have had worked with Kristin, and I definitely recommend her! Kristin is worth way more than a 5 star review!
Great experience with Kristin! Very understanding and flexible. We are very happy to have her as our officiant and be a big part of our wedding!
Honestly, could have not asked for a a more brilliant officiant than Kristin! She gave us so many memorable moments and our unity ceremony was so special. Would have to say you cannot go wrong with Seaside Ceremonies! More than a 5 star experience!
Kristin did an amazing job in making our ceremony so memorable. Her first draft of the ceremony was already personal to us and she knew exactly how to incorporate the few remaining changes that we wanted to make it unique. The ceremony itself was perfect and all our guests loved it. She was easy to work with and delivered above expectations. Thank you Kristin!
I cannot say enough about Kristin and Seaside Ceremonies. When you meet with her you instantly feel comfortable and knows she understands your vision.
I am not only a fan but a fellow vendor. I have heard and witnessed several officiating nightmares. Having an officiant that knows that they are doing, understands your vision and can bring the most important ceremony of your life to life is priceless. There is no redo! Kristin will work with you and your vendors to make sure your ceremony is flawless.
We LOVE working with Kristin. She puts so much personality into her ceremonies. They are always so personalized to the couple and never boring. She keeps the guests captivated to the ceremony. She is SO SWEET!!! We adore working with her! We couldn't recommend enough.
I loved working with Kristin, she was a cheerful spirit and always smiling! She is definitely passionate about what she does! It shows!
I've had the pleasure of working with Kristin several times now and she does not disappoint! She has a very obvious passion for what she does, when she speaks in front of everyone, it's very clear that she is comfortable and confident, and also really cares about her couples. She has a perfect speaking voice and she really helps to make the wedding ceremony experience feel even more special.
I'd highly recommend having Kristin officiate your wedding, she truly cares about her couples and their story!
Kristin is phenomenal! I’m a local wedding planner and have had the pleasure of working with Kristin over the past few years!
Her presence is always so welcoming, she’s extremely responsive via email, call, or text and takes the best care of my couples!! On wedding day she’s always early, arriving with that beautiful smile and ready to conquer the day!
She speaks elegantly and flawlessly, with true passion in her voice. She really takes the time to get to know the couples so that each ceremony sounds unique.
I highly recommend her to everyone!
Thank you, Kristin! We love you!!
Kristin created an incredible and personalized ceremony for our wedding day. She took the time to meet with us personally to put together a beautiful and unique experience that our guests were still complimenting at the end of the night. She is also insanely organized and helped us navigate the marriage license process with ease.
My husband and I are so happy to have chosen Kristin to lead our wedding ceremony and kick-start such a beautiful wedding. Her projection and performance provided a loving and genuine atmosphere that made our ceremony so memorable. My husband and I decided to go with the quick ceremony speech, no personalization or tangents; short and sweet - she did a spectacular job! I would highly recommend Kristin as she is all about making the clients feel special and making sure they are 100% satisfied with her work. She is personable and kind, traits that are often hard to find in the wedding industry. Thank you Kristin for giving us a truly memorable wedding ceremony, we are so grateful to have had you part of our special day!
If I could give Kristin 10 stars, I would. My husband and I live in another part of California so all of our communication pre-wedding was through phone and email and we didn’t actually meet her until our rehearsal. Despite the distance she wrote an AMAZING ceremony! It was so personal to us and included so many details that made it incredibly meaningful. Several people said it was the best wedding ceremony they’ve been to. Aside from beautiful writing, Kristin is also very professional and personable, she had all the legal information easily available and was always easy to reach for questions. We could not have been happier with Kristin and we’re so happy we chose her to marry us!
Kristin was great! She came highly recommended by another vendor and really pull our big day together! From the moment we first met with Kristin, we could tell it was going to be a good fit. Personally, I found great comfort working with someone that has her level of knowledge. She kindly guided us through the whole process and made customizing the ceremony convenient. This convenience and simplicity was greatly appreciated for me, a bride that was planning her own wedding.
Not only have I recieved many compliments on her readings, but she saved the day when I forgot to print out my vows. She had already printed an additional copy for my use! I would highly recommend Kristin to any friends or family that get married! She is simply wonderful to work with!!
Kristin is simply AMAZING!!! I believe that she’s the best officiant one can hire for that special day! She gave us a beautiful ceremony. My guests called me after to say what a beautiful and uplifting ceremony it was. I thought that I would be at a total loss at not knowing how my ceremony would turn out, but Kristin made it seamless. I had absolutely no worries. My husband and I filled out the questionnaires she provided us, we chose what kind of ceremony we wanted, and gave her a scripture for our reading and she took it from there! It was just so touching and so well done!! I’m still in awe!! Thank you Seaside ceremonies for giving us the most wonderful wedding ceremony.
Kristin was AMAZING! She was a little of a last minute addition due to the officiant we had planned on was in an accident. she immediately got in contact with us both via email and a short phone conversation to get a feel for what we wanted for the ceremony. my favorite thing about her is she gave us plenty of recommendations( I had no idea what I wanted) me and my (now) husband filled out some forms about ourselves such as how we met/ our engagement story/ our life since we've been together and some thing we both loved and some of our more annoying traits. From all this information she wrote and incredible ceremony script we got the chance to proof read before hand but it was perfect. After the ceremony we had several people compliment us on the ceremony and how it was so well written and they loved that that got to hear all the details on how we met and the engagement story. Kristin also gave them a glimpse of some of our more difficult moments of us together ( we were long distance due to both of us being in the militray). We are so happy we went with kristin to tell our story on one of the biggest days of our lives!
Kristin was absolutely wonderful! She came highly recommended from a wedding group I am in and WOW did she not disappoint. We met her before the wedding and she was so easy to talk to and completely got what we wanted out of our wedding. People were raving about her after our ceremony and couldn’t believe we had only met her once. Thank you so much Kristin you are amazing! Highly recommend her for your special day :)
Our ceremony was everything we wanted and more! We got so many compliments from guests on how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Kristin was professional, kind, patient, and genuine. She was incredibly easy to work with and communicated with us well throughout the entire planning process. The ceremony was beautiful, she was comfortable/personable/genuine, and it did not feel scripted or cheesy at all (which was my greatest fear in this)! It felt like she knew us, in fact, a couple of guests asked us how we knew her because they felt like she seemed familiar. After the ceremony, we were so busy with guests, she waited patiently for us to be done to complete the necessary documents. Kristin, I am so thankful for you and what you provided for us on our special day. Thank you so much!
We are so happy we found Kristin! She was friendly and professional upon our first meeting. She took the time to get to know us and this meant a lot to us. When she sent over her draft of our ceremony it brought me to tears. We were blown away by how she personalized it and gave us more than we ever expected in our "simple" ceremony. Our guests commented on how beautiful our ceremony was and that they loved what was said. We highly recommend Kristin!
If you're reading this, you've come to the right place for finding your wedding officiant. And we recommend that you book Kristin immediately. After researching a lot of other potentials, we decided Kristin would be a good fit for us because she had a professional, but warm and authentic presence. For us, we wanted a ceremony that was a little non-traditional and fun, but still recognizable as a wedding ceremony and Kristin delivered in a big way. She was very responsive, thoughtful and attentive to our desires. She also had great ideas when it came to pointing us in the right direction on what is appropriate and special. Kristin sent us a draft to review of our ceremony well in advance of our big day so that we had complete confidence in what to expect and she made our ceremony feel like it was completely unique to us. She even met up with us to meet our fur child (Juan Pablo the dog) before the ceremony so that everyone was familiar and friendly going into the event. We're so, so thankful that Kristin was available on our day and now we can't imagine our wedding with anyone other than her. Thank you Kristin! You rock!
Kristin was amazing! Even though we only spoke on the phone once and everything else was through email it was like she was a part of the family! She made everything so easy and explained every detail of the process. She sent out a ceremony draft for us to look over in a timely manner and even though I had a couple of changes last minute she made the changes right away. Kristin stayed after to help with pictures, which she so didn’t have to do! Definitely going to contact her again when we do a vow renewal! Thank you so much Kristin!
Kristen performed a wonderful ceremony for my daughter's wedding. She really took her time getting to know the couple and
I was blesssed to work with Kristin in Ojai. The ceremony was so thoughtful and her words were straight from the heart! Would love to work with her again!
Kristin was Amazing!!! She is super easy to work with and made our day extra special. She knew what we wanted and personalized our ceremony beautifully. All our guest loved her. Simply amazing.
I can’t tell you how amazing Kristin is! From the emails and Skype calls she managed to nail the ceremony outline and readings perfectly! She managed to find something about me, the bride, and my husband, the groom. She has lots of creative ideas and although we opted out of a unity ceremony Kristin had lots of great
Kristin is truly a Saint!! She is so amazing at what she does! She answers your questions at anytime. She has an amazing questionnaire that truly put together the perfect speech/script for our ceremony. when my two year old decided to interrupt our ceremony tugging on her dress she still carried on with class. I would recommend her to any new wed couple that is planning to have a wedding! Thank you so much!
Kristin went above and beyond for our ceremony. We had lots of questions along the way and she was always there and willing to help. Even when we had a slight change the day of she was on top of it and totally understanding. Her personalization for officiating was beautiful and well done. She also helped us both with making sure our personal vows flowed well. I would definetly recommend Kristin!!!
We hired Kristin to officiate our wedding, and I am so happy with our decision! She was amazing along the way, and especially on the day of. She did a great job with the ceremony and we can’t thank her enough! Highly recommend!
We worked with Kristin for our wedding, and it was an amazing experience. She made our ceremony very personalized. Even the questionnaire that she sent to us to prepare her speech had my husband and I laughing and brought us closer together as we thought of all the answers that we could choose. She is also a really nice person and listened to all of our concerns. She helped explain everything to us so that we knew what to expect and we could choose what new or old traditions we wished to use. She also walked us through all the steps for getting our marriage license before the wedding and the certificate after.
Kristen exceeded our expectations by far! She is warm, & kind and so helpful. She even held my bouquet when my MOH was MIA! She is a beautiful writer & speaker & is so professional & efficient. She really made our wedding day what it was -perfect.
Choosing an officiant is one of the most important details of your wedding, yet if you were like us, you don’t even know where to begin.
From the moment we spoke, we knew
Kristin was the only choice for us. She was personal, warm, thoughtful, and she listened to us. She easily guided us through the process, asked the right questions, and offered helpful
suggestions. She took the ideas we expressed to her, and executed our wedding ceremony exactly as we had envisioned.
The greatest acknowledgement from our friends and family was that they thought Kristin was a close personal friend that we had asked to officiate at our wedding. That is how personalized and special Kristin is at what she does.
We highly recommend working with her and having her be a part of your wedding day too.
Kristen conducted such a beautiful ceremony for us this weekend. From the start, it was easy to communicate with her. We were very happy with our overall experience and amazed at the professionalism and attention to detail. Thank you Kristen :)
Kristin, we thought you were just wonderful, and we also had many people ask us about you. Very happy to give you a great recommendation! You truly listened to us and made our ceremony personal and fun, all the while guiding us with ideas and templates. Really helpful, and we wouldn’t change a thing. We had many many glowing comments about the ceremony being fun, very representative of us, yet serious in the vows. It’s just what we wanted! Can't thank you enough!
We couldn't have asked for a better officiant! There were several things we wanted added to our ceremony and Kristin really put structure and flow to it. Passages were added that we would have never thought of but fit us so well! The ceremony was flawless and Kristin worked with us to create something unique. Throughout the rest of the evening we were approached by several people letting us know how great the ceremony was.
Kristin did a fantastic job officiating our outdoor wedding a couple weeks ago!! We were able to fully customize our ceremony with the perfect blend of traditional touches to reflect who we are as a couple. We've received several comments from guests about how beautiful the ceremony was! Kristin was a joy to work with - she truly cares about making your wedding ceremony a dream come true.
Kristin is fantastic at adding new and traditional touches to your ceremony. She officiated our wedding this past weekend and we could not have been happier with her services. She's organized, a great orator, and a stellar writer. Highly, highly recommend her
