We do not come from a religious tradition, but it was important to us to have a ceremony that still "ceremonial" and full of meaning; Bethel helped us do exactly that. Her approach and process to getting to know her couples not only helped us comfortable with her as our officiant, but also allowed her to conduct the ceremony in a way that felt like she had known us throughout our relationship, and show our love to each other to guests who may have only known us individually but not as a couple just yet. Bethel is highly organized and professional, and brings a warmth to every interaction that was just great to work with. Bethel put us at ease throughout the process, guided us clearly, and helped us walk into the day feeling confident, and offered guidance and assistance with pre-and post-wedding admin, like the wedding certificate and referral for name change services. We had so many guests tell us afterward that it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever attended. We cannot recommend her enough!

This is long overdue, almost a year, but I'm catching up on all the wonderful people who took part…read morein making our day memorable and for what was a beautifully intimate ceremony. I had delegated my now husband to find us an officiant and I gave him a few choices. After evaluating them together, we decided to have him contact Kristin and see what she would say. She mentioned that she usually liked to meet with the couple over zoom so we could get to know each other, have her know our story, and just get more comfortable with her. I loved how she has this huge document she shared with us about the different kinds of loves and prayers for people of all kind of religious backgrounds. I think the Zoom call was so important to get to know if we would like her and be comfortable with her since she would be our officiant. We immediately took to her and really liked her. She had a very calm and sweet demeanor about her and we got to know each other. I absolutely loved how she did yoga everyday and felt a connection with her. She organized everything for us, bringing us the papers to sign the day we got married, telling us what we needed to do, taking them when we were done and dropped it off for us. She was the absolute sweetest, communicated well, had recommendations for us and was a great resource since I had not done much research on what options we could do for our ceremony. Without her we wouldn't have known about Unity In Glass and decided to combine glass to represent our union. As a result we have something super memorable and beautiful from that day. I also never had to worry about this specific aspect of the day because she had it all handled. I highly recommend her and would suggest people to use Kristin's services with confidence!

Our first meeting through zoom allowed us to connect and get to know her well. She is so thorough and very passionate about what she does. We spent almost 2 hours talking about our personal lives as well as sharing with her our love story! I appreciated that. The day of the ceremony, she arrived early to speak to us individually and to check on how we were doing and how we were feeling. She reminded us how to stay calm and present during the ceremony and to imagine our safe space between her and my soon to be husband and I .This helped a lot! She is so therapeutic, angelic and has a certain kind of aura that is so genuine and positive. If you are looking for someone to officiate your marital union- one of the most important days of your lives, please go with Kristin!

"Auntie" Heidi (Love Story Vows) was an absolute pleasure to work with and one of the best…read moredecisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Heidi invested genuine care into getting to know us as a couple. Throughout the process, she regularly checked in--not just about ceremony details, but about how we were doing, how wedding planning was going, and what felt most important to us. She also provided invaluable guidance on ceremony logistics, marriage license requirements, and day-of planning details that helped us feel prepared and supported every step of the way. Heidi has an incredibly calm, steady, and reassuring presence. There is something truly dreamy about the way she speaks and carries herself. Her voice and demeanor immediately put everyone at ease. Quite honestly, she could probably read a phone book and make it sound beautiful. The ceremony she created for us was beyond anything we could have imagined. Through thoughtful surveys and conversations, she gathered the details of our friendship, relationship, and journey together, then seamlessly wove them into a heartfelt and deeply personal story. The result felt uniquely us--warm, authentic, emotional, and memorable. Without question, the ceremony was the part of the wedding that our guests talked about the most afterward. So many people commented on how personal, meaningful, and beautifully delivered it was, and how they truly enjoyed hearing snippets of our relationship that were narrated by Heidi. At the end of our ceremony, Heidi performed a "handfasting" (ribbon-tying) ceremony beautifully, incorporating it naturally into the flow of the ceremony and making it feel both significant and intimate. We truly could not have asked for a better officiant. Heidi brought warmth, professionalism, wisdom, and heart to every interaction, and we are so grateful she was the one who married us.

I've seen many weddings and sometimes the officiant makes it about themselves, or thinks of it as a tight 5 comedy special, but not Heidi. She was professional, well-spoken, and truly understood our needs to help us create a perfect day.
