Crystal and her team did an incredible job which far surpassed our expectations. As an officiant, she put together a concise, heartfelt, and meaningful ceremony based on our input and some input from our friends. She was communicative and met with us on Facetime a few times before the wedding. The rehearsal and ceremony went smoothly–what more could you ask for? For day-of coordination, her team took all the pressure off us and the wedding party after what had been a mostly DIY wedding preparation. Crystal kept things moving along while having some flexibility with our photographer, who was improvising a bit with the weather and lighting. She made sure we (the couple) had everything we needed throughout the night. All in all, I’d happily endorse Crystal and her team for any weddings in the OBX. Lucy & Will – 6/24/23
We had such a good time working with Crystal! Our ceremony she wrote was beautiful and I’ll never forget it, I love that she made the ceremony all about my husband and I. She was a delight to work with! Tyler & Megan 4/1/23
The biggest mistake you could make on your wedding day is not having Crystal in some type of capacity in your wedding. She was our officiant and day of coordinator and we could not imagine having such an amazing experience without her. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and her ability just to get sh*t done with a bow on it is what you need in a day of coordinator. I was able to actually enjoy our day and not worry about anything with her by our side. If I even thought I was thirsty, I knew she would be there for me with a drink in her hand. She made the day go flawlessly and I can’t thank her enough. Now, if you want an officiant who gets to know their couple, personalizes their ceremony perfectly and can make everyone laugh and cry at the right moment, then you should hire her as your officiant. It felt like she had known me and my new husband for years as she laid out our love story for our guests. You will not make a more important choice than choosing these roles and she did them both flawlessly. It’s a shame that our marriage is forever because I would hire her again and again if I could.

Crystal was so great, she was on top of all the moving parts and various vendors use to pull off this wedding. She also did an incredible job with the officiating, that hit the perfect tone between sweet and happy. Thank you Crystal!!!!! Haley – Bridesmaid to Lucy & Will (6/24/23)
Absolute Perfection We couldn’t be happier to have had Crystal officiating our wedding ceremony. Crystal was very diligent in following up with all the necessary requirements. She organized an initial call with us to get to know us and make sure she could craft the perfect ceremony for us. On the day of the ceremony. We decided to elope in Jockeys Ridge National Park in the middle of a rainy super windy day. Crystal and her husband, who agreed to be our witness, were nice enough to hike with us in the rain!! and hold our Australian Shepperd dogs while we were taking pictures. Even though it was horrible weather, Crystal made everything so special. She then sent us our wedding script to have forever which is so well written. We absolutely recommend Crystal. Best experience ever. Scarlet & John Escarlata & John – 8/30/23
Crystal was a dream to work with! She helped us every step of the way and was so thorough in preparing for our ceremony. The tone of her work is perfect – funny, poignant, lighthearted, thoughtful. I was so happy with our ceremony and truly could not recommend Crystal enough. Maddie & Justin – 9/16/23
Crystal was amazing! We really liked her unique ceremony plan, which was centered all around our story as a couple, quotes about what we loved most about each other, and quotes from family and friends about us as a couple. She spent the time to set up video calls with us beforehand to ensure we were all set, and sent out questionnaires to us and our selected family and friends. Everyone loved the ceremony and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Would definitely recommend!! Katia & Declan 9/30/23

Crystal literally saved my wedding day! We had a last minute officiant issue, and she literally drove from Raleigh, NC with less than 24 hours notice. The best thing is… you would have NEVER known! She sent us questions and curated the most perfect ceremony that included a little bit of our love story. We got so many compliments about the ceremony, and the venue loved her so much they asked her to be a preferred vendor! I can never thank you enough, Crystal!!!! Katy & Brian 11/4/23
We got married pretty quickly and planned everything about a month and a half out and Crystal made sure everything was perfect. We had a sunrise wedding and it was an early day on the beach and she made sure she was there on time. She did a wonderful job of the ceremony and made it really feel like it was just my husband and I together. I absolutely adore her and hope everyone books with her!! Julia & Jimmy 11/7/23
Crystal was so fun to work with! She was very flexible with meeting us at various times since we were abroad during most of the planning phase, and I loved the special touches of having family members and friends write parts of our story. She was so kind, organized, and professional. She even handled filing the marriage license for us, which may seem like a small gesture (those are the ones that matter most, though), but it was one less thing I had to do after a whirlwind of planning. She worked seamlessly with our other vendors, particularly the wedding coordinator. We loved our experience with Crystal from start to finish. Amberly & Josh 11/11/23
