I have performed many different types of weddings, from traditional Christian to more contemporary and uniquely creative ceremonies. I always strive to make your wedding ceremony the most beautiful and memorable experience possible. Weddings are very personal and unique; here is what one client shared about working with Guidance and Grace: “One of the happiest things at our wedding was having Christopher as our officiant. He made our simple and small wedding more formal and dignified. He gave us step-by-step advice and professional guidance, leading us, a foreign couple, through the wedding ceremony. When I was too emotional to continue reading my vows, he would gently remind me to take a deep breath and give me support through eye contact, which was really helpful for me. All the guests wanted us to convey their thanks to Christopher. He made everyone enjoy the wedding. We love him 100% and recommend him 100%.💗 I look forward to the privilege of working with you.
