When I am not working my magic at weddings I like to relax at home with my two black cats, Snooki and Sir Winston while listening to my favorite music which is a genre called Nerdcore. Look up MC Lars, Schaffer the Darklord, Captain Dan & The Scurvy Crew, Mega Ran, MC Frontalot or mc chris (just to name a few) and give them a listen - you'll thank me later.
I enjoy a day at the theme parks and one weekend a year I attend a cosplay convention called Megacon; my past costumes have been Nyan Cat, Grumpy Cat, She-Ra Princess of Power, Princess Peach as well as Wendy from Wendy's.

irst conversation, but she also jumped in to help us last minute and somehow made it feel effortless.
She took the time to understand us, our personalities, and the tone we wanted for our ceremony, then crafted something that felt authentically us, even on such short notice. Her professionalism, organization, and confidence turned what could have been a stressful situation into something smooth and reassuring.
Our ceremony was personal, emotional, and beautifully delivered. Guests kept telling us afterward how touching, engaging, and meaningful it was. Several said it was the best ceremony they’d ever witnessed.
If you’re looking for an officiant who listens, understands, and can work magic even under pressure, The Ginger Officiant is the one. We’re endlessly grateful she helped make our day unforgettable.

Our ceremony was perfect. Catherine had everyone laughing, smiling, and fully present in the moment. We had so many guests come up to us afterward raving about how incredible she was. It felt personal, natural, and totally “us.”
The investment in her services was absolutely worth it for the end result. She made the entire experience feel effortless and joyful.

Catherine was an absolute joy to work with for our special day. Leading up to the event, she was so willing to work with my unique situation of being stationed in Europe, fielding ...
strange time zones and WhatsApp calls. During the rehearsal, she was imperative. She calmly and patiently instructed us - purely out of her own kindness (and necessity, because we had no idea what we were doing, lol). On the day of the wedding, she was exceptionally professional. With a last minute weather change of plans, she remained steady to flex and adapt as needed. To top it off, she is also incredibly gifted at her craft. Her script was so lovely; her cadence and inflection give meaning to the words she has written. We could not have chosen a better officiant. Catherine comes highly recommended by us.

Her words were personal, poetic, and heartfelt. Catherine has a gift—not just for crafting the perfect ceremony, but for making people feel seen, understood, and deeply celebrated.
We are endlessly grateful for the love and care she poured into our day. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your ceremony unforgettable, Catherine, "The Ginger Officiant", is that person.

he time to get to know us and created a ceremony that was completely us — personal, meaningful, and filled with just the right amount of humor and heart.
She was incredibly accommodating throughout the whole process, letting us fully customize our ceremony. Whether it was the specific readings we wanted, our unity ceremony, or incorporating other speakers to lead the religious elements, Catherine worked with us to make sure every piece of the ceremony reflected our values and our relationship. Nothing ever felt cookie-cutter — it was thoughtful, intentional, and totally unique to our day.
Not only was she an amazing officiant, but she also brought such a calm, joyful energy to the day. Guests kept telling us how much they loved her and how perfectly she captured our vibe as a couple.
If you’re looking for someone who’s genuine, funny, flexible, and deeply invested in making your ceremony exactly what you want — Catherine is it. We’re so grateful she was part of our wedding!

Catherine wrote a draft of our script and emailed it to us a bit late. We made some edits and sent it back at 8am when it was due the night before. Her reply was “I’ll see if I can...
get to it. It was due yesterday.” We never heard anything further. We had an outdoor venue and because of hurricane Milton damage the park was closed. We found a second venue and we emailed all the vendors and Catherine replied she was in. Then that vendor fell through and we frantically searched and found another. Notified all the vendors again and never heard from Catherine. No reply to emails, no answer to phone calls. Finally the caterer called to verify and Catherine snipped at her saying “why are YOU calling me?” And “what makes you think I wouldn’t be there?” Ummm, maybe because you never answered??? On the day of the wedding a call to her went unanswered. The ceremony was to start at 11am and at 11:06 she came around the corner and said she had been on site for more than 15mins talking to another vendor. She did read the script as we had written it, with the exception of calling Vitambi Springs “Vitamin B” three times.

Choosing Catherine for our wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we met her, she radiated warmth, professionalism, and a sense of humor that made ...
the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Her approachability and fun personality instantly put us at ease.
Throughout the planning stages, she was incredibly helpful, guiding us through each step with ease and confidence. On the day of the wedding, her guidance was invaluable, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that we could focus on enjoying our special moments.
What truly set Catherine apart was her genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. She took the time to understand our story, our personalities, and our relationship, which she artfully wove into a beautifully customized ceremony script. Her words were heartfelt and perfectly tailored to reflect our unique bond, making our ceremony deeply personal and incredibly memorable.
Her ability to blend humor, sincerity, and professionalism made our ceremony unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding and are forever grateful for her contribution to making our day so special. We highly recommend 'The Ginger Officiant' to any couple looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to create a ceremony as unique and beautiful as their love story.

cared about getting to know us as a couple so that the ceremony was personal to us. Prior to the ceremony she sent over a script for us to review and share what we wanted to be edited. She also provided additional readings and ceremonies for us to choose from to add. I found this helpful and it also allowed us to create a ceremony that would best reflect us. On the day of the ceremony she was dressed professionally, early, and ready to start as soon as we said it was time. We were so happy for Catherine to officiate our special day, she did an amazing job and I would for sure recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant.

s on managing the registration process remotely was immensely helpful. She understood we wanted a low key elopement and was able to support us, whilst still making it a very special event. We flew in to Orlando and were married during the freak cold spell in December 2022. The venue for the ceremony was changed from an outdoor to an indoor event at the last minute. So glad Catherine kept her cool and winged it with us. Thank you so much Catherine!

Catherine is a huge personality and that's one of the reasons why we asked her to be our Officiant. She did not disappoint, even saying the line, "Wuv, true wuv" in the Princess Bride voice made everyone chuckle.

n’t crying from the emotions of it all, I was laughing along with them! Cathy really truly makes such a wonderful personal script that I will never forget and even after the ceremony she was such a rockstar and hung around while the chaos of a million photos ensued. The ceremony was the one aspect of wedding planning that I felt so out of my depth about but she really makes the planning process fly by and is very personable with her script-writing. Fun, energetic, hilarious and more, I cannot rave enough about how much my Husband and I were about having Cathy as part of our day!
