What began as an obsession with bridal magazines at a young age became a passion for weddings and planning... That passion became a calling and soon, coordinating weddings and officiating came into action. I love putting my client's worries to rest and walking them through simple processes to make it fun and memorable.
Over 28 years of happy couples and amazing wedding memories! Sometimes blending families!

We were so fortunate to have Christy
Heartfelt, flexible, and dependable - that’s how we would describe Christy as our officiant, and we feel so lucky to have found her on Wedding Wire.
You can read our experience below, but no matter the ceremony you want, our experience taught us that (1) you’ll find Christy will put you first in making sure you have the type of ceremony that’s important to you, (2) she’s relatable and after the first phone call you’ll feel like you’ve made the right choice, (3) she’s reliable and proactively communicates
We were two months out from our January wedding and were caught in a bind. It turns out that our friend, who we wanted to officiate our wedding, could not legally marry us in Virginia. It was also important to us and our parents that the official “I do’s” happen during our ceremony. We reached out to Christy after looking at her reviews, and we feel incredibly fortunate that we did. Christy helped us create a wedding ceremony that allowed our friend (our initial officiant) and her to officiate different parts of the ceremony. Better yet, it all felt seamless. Christy was also extremely dependable. In the days leading up to our wedding, there was an increasing likelihood that it would snow/ice on that day. As we reached out to determine which vendors would still be willing to drive in the snow, Christy was the one vendor who said she would be there no matter what.
As you can see, we were extremely happy and fortunate that we chose Christy. We highly recommend her!
Christy was A-MAZING!!
We met Christy 1 week before our wedding....she was God-sent for sure! She was funny, professional, so friendly and truly loves being an officiant--we got that vibe from her in the first 15 minutes of meeting her. So grateful she was able to perform our ceremony, she made it MEMORABLE.
Christy was amazing!!
We had an intimate wedding with a handfasting at our favorite vacation house. Christy made the whole process very special and catered around our story and our needs. She took the time to get to know us and our relationship, in a simple no-stress fashion. You can tell she really enjoys what she does. Highly recommend!
