Ceremony Writing
If you've chosen a friend or family member to officiate your wedding, you’ve picked someone special to stand with you on one of the biggest days of your life. But now, you may be wondering:
How will they know what to say and when to say it?
Will our ceremony feel and sound like, "us?"
Will they look and feel comfortable in front of our friends and guests?
Will they know how to lead a seamless wedding ceremony from start to finish?
If any of these questions crossed your mind, you’re in the right place!
As a Professional Officiant and ceremony writer, I specialize in creating beautiful, engaging wedding ceremonies that breathes every love story to life.
Each script includes step-by-step instructions and cues to easily guide your choice officiant through the entire ceremony, taking the stress out of it for both of you!
Whether you’re interested in a simple, no-frills ceremony or our signature, written-from-scratch Love Story Ceremony, I’ve got you covered!
“My husband’s Uncle offered to officiate our wedding last year. It was his first time and he had no idea how to write a wedding ceremony. When we found out Kristi started offering ceremony writing we were so excited! The ceremony she wrote was so fun and personal, we STILL get compliments! We also had her coach Troy’s Uncle on how to actually perform the ceremony and rehearsal! Kristi made him feel super prepared and confident. We can’t say enough good things. Hire Kristi. You won’t regret it!”
~ Amy and Troy
Why Hire Us?
You’ve got one chance to have the wedding you’ve always dreamed of.
You deserve more than the same-old generic wedding ceremony you’ve heard at other weddings.
You want to be confident every word that joins you in marriage not only celebrates you, but also flows beautifully, and doesn’t sound like a “pieced-together, copy and paste” mess.
Unlike other ceremony writing services, ours includes clear cues and instructions so your officiant will know exactly what to do at every step.
How it Works...
We get to know each other better through my detailed Simple Ceremony or Love Story Questionnaire. Your answers will help me get a vibe for the flavor you have in mind for your ceremony and let me know any optional elements you’d like to include such as a reading or unity ceremony.
After reviewing your answers, I’ll create a written draft for your review and approval. This draft will also include easy-to-follow directions for your officiant. You’ll have complete control over any changes (unlimited revisions for the Love Story Ceremony option and 2 draft revisions for the Simple Ceremony).
As soon as you’ve approved your ceremony, I’ll send a copy of the written script along with an audio recording to your officiant (if requested) so they can practice how to flawlesslly deliver your ceremony on wedding day.
OPTIONAL: If you think your officiant could benefit from a little coaching, 60 minute one-on-one coaching sessions with Kristi are available to give your officiant all the tools they need to lead a flawless wedding ceremony like a pro!

Q: How soon can we get started?
A: As soon as payment is received, I’ll send you a link to your ceremony questionnaire and we can work on building your ceremony right away!
Q: How long before we get to see our 1st ceremony draft? How long will it take for our ceremony to be finished?
A. Depending upon my workload, you can expect to review your 1st draft within 2 to 3 working days. Most ceremonies are written and completed within 1-2 weeks, but isn’t truly finished until you say so! :)
Q: How will our officiant know what to do during the ceremony?
A. Every ceremony includes instructions so they’ll know when when to ask your guests to rise, be seated, what to do before the couple is officially pronounced married, when to get out of the way for the ceremonial kiss and how to conduct a pre and post ceremony announcement.
Q. Is Officiant Coaching really necessary? How much does it cost?
A. Because your Officiant (regardless of whether they’re a novice or pro) is legally responsible for the legality of your marriage, and because they’ve most likely never officiated a wedding before, coaching is strongly encouraged as it will give them direction and help them avoid the most common mistakes new officiants make. 60 minute one-on-one coaching is available for only $149.
