About

You're Getting Married. Congratulations!

If you’re here, your ceremony isn’t just a box to check.


You’re not looking for something ordinary or scripted. You want a ceremony that feels genuine and heartfelt, where every word reflects your journey together so far.

Because the moment you say I do should feel deeply personal; beautifully and unmistakably yours.

Zero Cookie Cutter. All You.

With locations in Grand Rapids & Traverse City — we happily serve couples across Michigan, destinations beyond and wherever your love story takes you.

You’re not a template couple. Why settle for a template ceremony?

You’ve got a real love story; quirks, laughs, struggles, and moments that matter.


My Team and I bring that to life at the altar so your guests don’t just watch your ceremony, they feel it.

If a generic "I Do" is more your style...

We're probably not your people, and that’s okay.

But if you want a ceremony that feels like you from the first line to the last, you’re exactly where you should be.

Imagine:

  • You, out loud, with real laughs, real tears and where every word lands

  • You, not a script; line by line with words that feels like home.

  • Guests leaning in, whispering after, "That was so them!"

What I Do For You.

I’m Kristi, your Grand Rapids Wedding and Destination Officiant and ceremony architect.

I design story-driven ceremonies for couples who want more than “repeat after me”.

Choose from 2 ceremonies; both with heart.

  • Signature Love Story Ceremony

    Written entirely from scratch from your journey so far; fun, modern, emotional, and unmistakably you.

  • The Classic Ceremony

    Prefer simple? Choose this refined script; beautiful, clean, and timeless, tailored just enough to feel like you.

What You And Your Guests Will Feel

  • A ceremony that sounds and feels like you.

  • Words written with intention, emotion, and heart

  • Moments that hit deep for you and your guests

This isn’t background noise.
This is the part where you look at each other and think, “This! This is so us!”
