she was pulling them straight from our hearts during the ceremony. We loved the time she took with us before and after to explain things to us and join in the wedding photos. I highly recommend getting in contact and booking with her.

Thank you for everything Christobel ❤️
We have just recently booked Christobel for our special day. From the jump, she has been cordial, caring and intentional. Her willingness to make herself available is one of the mo...
st comforting aspects about her! Christobel is sweet and easy going, yet professional and eloquent in speech and written word. She is so much more than an officiant. She is a blessing unlike any other. Her priority is to cultivate a friendly-yet-professional relationship to put you at ease on your special day. Obtaining Christobel as your officiant will not be a mistake!
Christobel was hands down amazing! We were an out of state couple coming to Texas for our elopement wedding with only 10 members from our family. Christobel was able to capture our...
vision with hardly knowing us and she did wonderfully! She was very kind and generous at our wedding and she made us feel like we were all family. She was also very reassuring and confident in her work, throughout the whole process, which made things easy on me, the bride! We could not have found a better officiant!
Christobel was nothing short of spectacular. Our wedding/elopement was a last minute surprise to our friends and family. Once we found Christobel and told her of our wishes, likes ...
and dislikes, she hit the ground running. Within a day she provided us with many option to customize our ceremony to the way we wanted it to sound. As well as pointed us in the right direction to many photographers, florists, and venues that were willing to also work with us last mintue.
The day of the ceremony Christobel was like family; guiding us through our vows and ensuring everything went off without a hitch.
She truly made our special day a memorable occasion that we probably would not have been able to pull off otherwise in such a short amount of time.
We're very grateful we were blessed with her help and can't recommend her enough.
Christobel did such a wonderful job! Our guests loved her accent and she is a true professional!
When Christobel showed up on site, early, you could tell that everything was going to be right. She walked right up and in her calming voice said don't you worry about a thing. T...
his is going to be great! And it was! Mindi and I were so pleased to have met her and glad we chose her services. She puts her entire heart and soul into this. We knew she was the right choice when she walked by my favorite aunt and asked to pray over her before the ceremonies. If you're looking for a sprinkling of love over your ceremony, start by booking Christobel.
We can't thank Christobel enough for the amazing wedding. From the time we reached out to her when searching for an officiant to the follow up helping us with our wedding license,...
Christobel was there for it all! We had so many guests ask us how and where we met the officiant for our wedding and most of not all thought we had known her for years! That alone is a true testament to the type of lady Ms. Christobel is. She truly does care about how your wedding day turns out. You can definitely tell she rehears our script (mind you we made several last min changed and customization) and she nailed it! We had live music,unity candles, etc so there were several moving pieces and as she promised it was perfect. Her sweet accent was loved by all and again everyone asked how long we had known each other because the wedding was flawless! I also want to add she has the sweetest dogs and was so very kind to my family that was in town from our of state. Let me tell you I would hire Christobel 1000 times over because we are so happy with the ceremony we built together! Thank you Ms. Christobel!
Christobel is truly amazing at what she does. She tailors every ceremony to each couple and personalizes it. We held a 5 year vow renewal and she suggested incorporating our childr...
en which was awesome. She made the ceremony unique to us and I love that. We did have a hiccup with one of the names mentioned in the ceremony, but not everyone notices and Christobel offered a great suggestion to have the videographer edit it to make sure it wasn’t notes in our video. She really is experienced and knows what she’s doing. I would recommend her to anyone who is getting married or celebrating a renewal. I can not say wooing about her and can’t wait to watch it all when the video is released.
Our oldest daughter’s planned wedding had to be postponed after her dad was injured the week of the ceremony. Our family was heartbroken for the change in plans and after talking t...
o our daughter and son in law about going ahead and getting married privately, we called Reverend Christobel Hanz with Weddings by Christobel. Christobel stepped in immediately, and created a beautiful ceremony for the happy couple that was attended by them and their siblings on a bridge over the river. Christobel, spoke words of life and blessing over their family and their marriage and showed them (and all of us) so much love that it totally turned around, what was a sad week of events for our family. Dad is on the mend and our planned ceremony will be back on the books again soon but we all agree that having Christobel perform their private marriage ceremony was perfect and so very special! If we could give her ten stars we would! If you’re looking for someone who will not only marry you but cheer you on, love you, and truly care about your day with you- hire Reverend Christobel Hanz!! She is simply the best!
After having a family emergancy we had to cancel our big wedding. y husband and I still wanted to get married so we just decided to elope. My mom had messaged Reverend Christobel a...
nd asked if she could perform a last minute ceremony for us. She happily agreed and when I tell you put on the most spectacle and fabulous elopement, I mean it. It was already such a great day filled with love but her excitement and joy during our ceremony made everything so much better. She spoke with such love and kindness in her voice (plus her accent is just to die for). She was truly such an amazing part of our day and i’m so very very thankful she was able to fulfill our dreams of being husband and wife. We love you Rev🤍 She is a dream to work with.
We were eloping and wanted a quick and simple ceremony. Christobel made our ceremony heartfelt. I laughed and cried.

Rev. Christobel is AMAZING!! She officiated a good friend’s wedding a few years ago and when it was time to pick someone for my daughter, I knew she’d perfect. Christobel did not d...
isappoint. They fell in love with her on their first meeting (as I knew they would). The vows Christobel wrote were so personal it was as if they had wrote them themselves. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for an equally heartfelt experience!!❤️❤️❤️
Christobel is the sweetest! She did an amazing job and made us feel so calm and comfortable.
Christobel was so caring and passionate from the start! She was able to create such a unique and personal ceremony for us. She provided world-class service and made us feel like ...
we had known her for a lifetime. You can tell she truly cares about her couples and making their day exactly how they envisioned. She also ensured throughout the process that we were informed of how to obtain our marriage license, what classes to take to receive a discount, offered to mail the official marriage license, etc. The British accent is always a plus too!
Christobel was nothing less of AMAZING, from beginning to the end of our wedding planning. She was always there for us to help in any way possible and very professional and prompt ...
in her communication to us. She made sure that our wedding ceremony was what we had always envisioned for this special day. We felt very comfortable in having her officiate the ceremony.

Absolutely fantastic ceremony! We loved having Christobel who spoke eloquently and made the ceremony extremely personal. We could never have imagined it go so well, so thank you Ch...
ristobel for making the day so special!
Where do I start?! We knew we wanted Christobel the moment we heard her voice when I found a clip on The Knot. She was amazing from our first meeting to even after our wedding. ...
I noticed during the ceremony I was not nervous at all and I just knew I was going to be. My husband and I said we really believe it was her calming tone/voice that made us just feel so relaxed on our big day. We felt as if it was just her and us in that church that day. Mind you I had been running around on our wedding day up until about 2 hours before and somehow she made me feel so relaxed. She also has a way with words. I loved that she just didn't have 1 ceremony that she uses for every couple. She lets you pick your ceremony and really tailor it to you and your spouse down to all the small details. The ceremonies are not cookie cutter at all. They all sound beautiful. She is just flawless during her ceremony and makes you feel like you are so special to her. I am so glad we chose you Christobel! Best decision ever ❤
Christobel is a beautiful spirit. She was very responsive, professional, and on time. She is kind and very personable. I can tell that she means what her profile says and she enjoy...
s celebrating love. I am thankful that she officiated our 40th anniversary vow renewal ceremony. This ceremony was very special after 40 years because we never had a wedding initially and wanted the perfect ceremony and Christobel did just that. She personalized our love story. There was not a dry eye in the house. She met with us several times to make sure every word and details were perfect ! She went above and beyond that she even took time to make sure our sound guy had it right and added a rose presentation for our mothers. We love her so much and blessed to have met her. It is no surprise she has won The Best of The Knot for six years in a row and has been awarded The Hall of Fame 2018 and in 2019!!!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Christobel! She is so kind, loving, and supportive. After talking once I felt like we had known each other for years. She not only was our...
officiant but also a friend. She showed us so much compassion and excitement on our wedding day. She is so joyful and uplifting to have around. Her ceremony she did for us was absolutely beautiful and was exactly what we wanted at our wedding. Have Christobel be a part of your big day!!!

Where do I start with this beautiful, kind, wonderfully talented and exceptional woman? Christobel, you absolutely made our wedding day the most amazing and special days possible!
...
We knew Christobel was the one to officiate our wedding after our first conversation. She sat quietly and listened to EVERY word while my wife & I told "our story". She took notes & started to put together ideas for our vows. A week later she called & started to tell us some of her ideas. One word... WOW!! She not only nailed it, but we could feel each and every word and the sincerity and emotion behind each of those words. I have become a big "softy" (yep, I'm the groom) and literally had tears streaming down my face! This would not be the last time we were in tears... ok, I was in tears! lol Thankfully, Christobel came to my rescue at each meeting & again on our wedding day... discreetly handing me a Kleenex each time to wipe my tears (due to my allergies) ha ha :)
Post "I Dos", our guests raved about how amazing and heartfelt the ceremony was and how Christobel was one of the most impressive officiants they have ever seen and witnessed over the years at any wedding... including their own.
Christobel has made a lasting impression on both my wife and I and we absolutely cherish her and our new found friendship. We will forever be grateful to her for making our wedding day so special.
I promise you... you will not find a more caring, professional or beautiful soul to officiate your wedding.
