Thank you Crystal! Crystal did a FANTASTIC job officiating our wedding! She was very professional while still also being fun to work with, and we felt like she truly cared about us. She helped us put together a personalized ceremony that was uniquely “us.” I am so happy we chose Crystal as our officiant and would highly recommend that you do too!! Abby & Jake 9/7/24

Crystal was amazing! She wrote a custom script for our ceremony and even reached out to our family for material. She met with us before the wedding to hash out the details. On the day of, our photographer didn’t show up so she even stepped in and helped get some pictures before she left. We truly goes above and beyond! I was highly recommend her to anyone looking to get married in NC! Sarah & Rion – 3/9/24

10/10! I can’t recommend Crystal and her team enough. My husband and I hit the lottery by finding Ceremonies with Crystal. Crystal worked as our officiant and wedding coordinator, and absolutely went above and beyond for us and our special day. She is SO easy to communicate with, extremely kind and professional, and makes all of the stresses of wedding planning and preparation much easier. As an officiant, she truly had my husband us in awe. Her words were custom, original to us, and she disappeared for our photo op of our first kiss as husband and wife. Crystal and her team helped guide us through all of the details, big and small. I think my personal favorite thing about working with Crystal was the level of research and attention to detail she and her team took. Not only in the wedding coordination, but as our officiant. There wasn’t a dry eye during our ceremony. Everything was extremely custom, and tailored to us. Crystal and her team worked so hard to make our ceremony and reception an absolute success, and it was more than we could have ever dreamed of. Look no further for your officiant, Ceremonies with Crystal is the best of the best and she will truly make your ceremony experience ‘yours’. Thank you Crystal and your team for all of your hard work! Jackie & Ryan – 5/10/24

My wife and I are from New York and planned a wedding in OBX North Carolina. We had to go in blind with all the vendors we used. We found Crystal and reached out to her and it was the best decision! From the start we knew she was the right fit and from the 2 zoom meetings we had with her prior to the day we couldn’t wait to officially meet her in person. Her warm and bubbly spirit definitely complimented what we envisioned and her personal speech at the ceremony left everyone and us happy, laughing and crying. We are all in agreement she was the best officiant at any wedding we have all attended and wish we could use her again, though we only get married once. I would recommend her time and time again! Brittany & Carissa – 5/20/24

Crystal was great! Very attentive to our likes, super profesional and overall a wonderful officiant. I wanted to make it special for my parents that don’t speak English so Crystal offered to do some parts of the ceremony in Spanish, which was perfect! We highly recommend Crystal, you will not be disappointed. - Lorena & John (8/14/24)

Crystal was AMAZING! She was thorough, quick to respond, detail-oriented, punctual, & respectful. She has a beautiful way of telling your love story in the ceremony & it was perfect! She explained every step of the process, including how to get the marriage license for that county & how to request the certificate after. We were instantly comfortable with her the first time we met (even though it was virtual), and we are so happy & grateful she was our officiant! I HIGHLY recommend Crystal for your OBX. Danielle & Joe (9/13/24)

We had the absolute pleasure of having Crystal officiate our same-sex wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the very beginning, she was the epitome of professionalism—always present, punctual, and fully invested in making our ceremony truly special. Not only did she guide us through the ceremony with grace, but she also took the time to help us craft our vows. Her thoughtful suggestions and support made that personal moment even more meaningful, allowing us to express exactly what we wanted to say to each other. She made us feel incredibly cared for, taking the time to understand our story and creating a ceremony that reflected who we are as a couple. Her warmth and genuine approach put us at ease, allowing us to focus on the joy of the day rather than any of the details. We were so impressed with her attention to detail and how effortlessly she balanced professionalism with a personal touch. Our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be, and we can’t thank her enough for being such an important part of it. We highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for an officiant who truly cares and brings a level of excellence that made our day unforgettable. Monique & Ronda (4/6/24)

Would recommend Crystal! Crystal was truly amazing! She made our big day go smoothly and took the time to share our love story with our family who joined us that day. She made our day so special and we could not thank her enough! I would recommend her again and again. Amanda & Mike 10/4/24

I just wanted to thank you again! From the rehearsal where you put us all at ease with your organization and preparation, to the beautiful ceremony with the most touching verbiage and sentiments to paint the best love story for my daughter and son-in-law, we are SO thankful for you!
I can now see why when my daughter met you for the first time, she had absolutely and solidly made her decision immediately to have you officiate! Your words were beautiful and I know how much time you took to get to know them so you could share it with all of the guests. On behalf of both sides of the family and the proud newlyweds, we send you the sincerest appreciation! Respectfully, Melissa Golden

Amazing officiant! Crystal was so great to work with from start to finish! She made the process very easy and made the ceremony very personal. We are very happy with our choice of officiant and would definitely recommend her!! Karlee & Michael 10/5/24

Best Officiant EVER!! Working with Crystal was a DREAM! From our first meeting all the way through to our wedding, she was always available to answer any questions I had. The way she told our love story not only had our guests laughing, but in tears as well. I highly recommend her!!!! You will definitely not regret it, I promise you that! Thank you again Crystal for crushing our ceremony and making it a memorable for us and all of our guests that attended.   Tanya & Andrew 11/9/24

The BEST Officiant! Crystal was the greatest officiant ever. In our zoom meetings leading up to the wedding, she was very attentive to our needs. She listened to us, helped us in our decision making process, and made us feel listened to. She was thorough in the detail planning and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. She even helped us when we had questions filling out our marriage license online. On our wedding day, my veil bow kept falling down in my hair. Crystal knew what she was doing and helped put it back in securely to make sure it wouldn’t fall out again. Her presentation of our ceremony was spot on. She took the details we gave her about our relationship and turned it into an amazing speech and ceremony. She worded everything perfectly and added a personal touch to her work, making her speech feel exclusive and unique to us. I could tell she put in her all. We wrote our own vows, and she printed them on pretty cardstock paper with ribbon for us to read to each other. I will forever remember Crystal. She made our special day one that we will never forget!  Sydnee & Randy 10/26/24

Best Ceremony Ever! I know I’m a little biased because the best ceremony was OUR wedding ceremony but it’s honestly true!! lol. Crystal was so wonderful to work with and crafted the ceremony of our dreams. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and used her gift of storytelling to create a ceremony that was perfect for us. There was not a dry eye in the room and we had so many people come up to us after our ceremony and tell us how much they loved it and how perfect it was. She is so kind, easygoing, communicative, and really loves what she does so much and it shows! Thank you Crystal for marrying us- We will treasure our ceremony experience forever! ❤️ Gaby & Skyler 12/7/24

Crystal was the absolute best decision we made out of all of our vendors! She was amazing and did exactly what we asked in order to make our ceremony the romantic dream wedding we wanted! We couldn’t be more grateful for her! Can’t recommend enough! We will brag about her forever! Sunny & Aubrie 3/30/24

Crystal was the planner and officiant of a wedding I had in May of 2024. Her and her team were there to help with any questions or needs that I had. Super professional and on top of details the entire day. I was really impressed by them and their professionalism and willingness to work together in an effective and fun way! She was also helpful via email leading up to the wedding day. This is important as a photographer, because we have to prepare for things leading up to weddings. I would 10/10 recommend her as a planner or officiant to any client or couple! Vendor Review! – Jaclyn Krogh Photography, Wedding 5/10/2024

As a wedding planner, I always want to make sure my clients have the best day ever! And to ensure this, I aim to hire the best vendors for them. One of the most important parts of a wedding is the ceremony (the reason why we’re there!) and whenever I get the privilege of working with Crystal, I know our clients are in the best hands! From her customized ceremony script to her wedding day energy, she allows our couples to know they are being taken care of and their ceremony is filled with love, laughter and a few happy tears! Crystal is an amazing officiant and an awesome vendor to work with. I have and will continue to recommend her to all my clients!!! Vendor Review! – Michelle Amarillo Event Planning

We loved Crystal! She was so responsive to all of our questions and needs. Her pre-wedding questionnaire about our love story allowed for a personal experience when performing our ceremony. She was flexible with changes needed last minute and quick to problem solve when an issue arose with obtaining our marriage certificate. Since we are a same sex couple and from out of town, her professionalism and experience were very much appreciated! Monica & Kathleen 8/10/24

I'm so glad we went with Crystal Gomez as our officiant, she was amazing! She was fantastic handling all of our questions and eased our nerves for the big day, and worked with our wedding planner and photographer to make our special day truly about us. Hailey & Corbin 11/30/24

We had the best experience with Crystal. She has the gift of being able to connect with you on a special level to where it would seem you have known each other forever! She sure does have a way with her words. Our ceremony was perfect in every way and would highly recommend her! Shana & Austin 11/18/24

Look no further, Crystal is the best officiant. Such a pleasure to work with and had answers to any question I had. She took the time to get to know us and our story, which made the ceremony very special. I would highly recommend booking with Crystal. Nikki & Cody 5/20/2024
