So much more than just a ceremony!

My husband and I were travelling to Santa Fe for our 10th wedding anniversary. During the planning of our trip, I decided I wanted to surprise him with a small and private vow renewal ceremony - just the two of us and an officiant. I had an idea of what I thought I wanted (outdoor, intimate, unique), but was really concerned about finding a wedding officiant. We didn't know a soul in Santa Fe; how much of a risk was I taking trying to find someone online?

I saw ChrisTina's webpage and was instantly intrigued. We connected by email and then by phone. I quickly realized that what she offered was so much more than I could have asked for. ChrisTina truly invests her time and emotion in getting to know you as individuals and as a couple and digs really deep to learn your story.

My husband and I spoke with her individually over Zoom several times, and both filled out a thought provoking questionnaire that we emailed to her. We met with her the day before the ceremony for appetizers and margaritas and KNEW beyond a doubt that we not only had found the perfect officiant, we had also made a very special friend.

I wasn't 100% sure what our ceremony would look like, which was fine by us. Both he and I wanted something different than the very traditional religious ceremony we were both used to and had given ChrisTina ideas of what we would like, but gave her the latitude to do whatever she felt would be appropriate. What she crafted for us was truly amazing. She had not only incorporated the elements we wanted, but also added other elements that she realized would be healing to us. For example, she started our ceremony with anointing us with oil and then a handwashing ritual that was beautiful and healing. What she wrote about each of us, based on both what she observed and the information provided by each partner, was one of the most touching and meaningful things anyone has ever said to me. she incorporated music, flowers, prayer, readings, and rituals in a beautiful setting.

As a person, ChrisTina is professional, polite, kind, and has the most peaceful and sweet spirit I've ever met. She invests not only her time, but also her creativity and emotion to give you more that what you could imagine.

My husband and I left Santa Fe closer than we've ever been, with a lot of healing, blessing, insight and appreciation for each other. Thank you, again, ChrisTina, for all the beauty and love you showed us both.

A Perfect Ceremony

My husband and I absolutely loved how ChrisTina designed our wedding ceremony. She really took her time getting to know us beforehand, meeting with us in person and via video calls leading up to the big day. It was beautiful how she shared our love story with all of our guests. She is a very kind and gentle soul and her passion for what she does really shines through.

Look No Further: ChrisTina is the world's best officiant!

It will be impossible for this review to do justice about how incredible Christina was as our officiant. We live in CA, but wanted to marry in Santa Fe and searched for the perfect fit to unite us. We wanted a Native New Mexican who embodied all of the aspects we love about Santa Fe. Christina was so much more than we ever could have imagined.

She met with us on zoom and then in person a couple days before our wedding. She had us fill out questionnaires in order to get to know us better. We met her for a margarita to discuss in person and it was clear that she is one of the most kind and genuine people I have ever met. She exudes peace and it is apparent her business is much more about passion than it is about money.

We didn’t preview what she had written before the ceremony and I was absolutely blown away with how special she made it. She put so much time, care, and love into her writing. It was spiritual, loving, and humorous. She captured the best of what we had both answered in our questionnaires and made it so much more beautiful and special. Several people told me it was the most special ceremony they had ever witnessed. There was certainly not a dry eye in the house!

She performed the earth, fire, water, and wind package and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Also, we did not have a wedding planner and didn’t do a rehearsal. Christina came early to decorate and set up and not only organized us as we came out, but she gave us a mini speech to calm our nerves - especially mine. You will not be disappointed. I recommend her with the highest regards, 100 out of 5 stars.
