Seaside Ceremonies

g, 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.

easier!

received many compliments on how Kristin officiated our wedding and how well she connected with our guests. I highly recommend Kristin!

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.

ficiant 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!

- 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! Henry and Chelsea Dalton xx

ride and groom feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her!

ing 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!

ie 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.

ple, 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.

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!

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!

orked with Kristin!

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!

ciant!

liments 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!!

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!

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.

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!

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!!

he 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.
