Christina Turner Ward ~ Spirithearts

We cannot fully express how wonderful Christina Turner-Ward is. She created the most perfect ceremony for us. It was as if she read what was in our hearts and was able to put it into words. Any bride and groom lucky enough to have her as their officiant will truly feel blessed.

Christina was personable, professional, and flexible. Her genuine nature put us at ease and we knew she was the right officiant for our special day. She created a wonderful ceremony for us. Our guests told us the ceremony and vows were moving, genuine, and reflected our personalities very well. Some had never heard of the rose ceremony before and loved the intent behind the words and actions of exchanging roses. Thank you Christina for taking our words and pieces of us to make a whole presentation of our relationship and commitment to each other. I highly recommend Christina as a wedding officiant.

From start to finish, our experience with Christina was wonderful. I was a very busy bride caring for an ill mother and grandmother, going to school full-time, and planning a wedding. Needless to say, I had very limited time to spend meeting with Christina and almost didn't get to meet her before my wedding. I was not at the initial meeting, but I entrusted my then-fiance to go meet with officiants and select one for us. He met with Christina and chose her based on her warm and professional demeanor. He had no clue what he was doing, but Christina told him everything he needed to know and he came home with a bunch of helpful information and custom ceremony options for me to look over. Since Christina's ceremony options were very unique and fiance really got along well with her, I told him to go ahead with our contract with her. With Christina, every cost was very clear up front. There were no hidden fees for rehearsals or travel costs, which I really appreciated because I had interviewed another officiant who kept sneaking in more fees. I was a bride with very little time to organize my wedding and I had no patience for last-minute re-organizing of wedding funds. Since all of Christina's prices were clear and up-front, I did not have to go back three times and adjust my budget around her costs. I was grateful for that convenience. Christina had us each fill out questionnaires and email them to her, which was also very convenient for me because I could do it at 3am after writing a paper. She used these questionnaires to create a custom wedding ceremony for us. I still had not met or spoken directly to Christina when she sent me the first draft of our wedding ceremony, which she had composed based on our questionnaires. When I got it, I cried my eyes out, I was so impressed with how very personal our ceremony was based on those questionnaires alone! I was extremely thrilled and knew that we had absolutely chosen the best officiant for our wedding! I couldn't wait to meet her after I saw the beautiful ceremony she wrote! Christina was understanding, professional, and flexible around our hectic schedules and our wedding rehearsal and wedding day were crazy, but Christina was amazing. She was very calm and reassuring and not bossy in any way. What a pleasure to work with! Everyone commented on how beautiful and how "us" the ceremony was! She even included our cat Nika, who is very important to us! lol I LOVED that! She helped us with everything even after the wedding and told us what to do to get our license and all of that important info. She also gave us a gorgeous printed hard copy of our wedding ceremony! I highly recommend Christina to officiate your wedding! You will be impressed by her ability to truly make your wedding ceremony unique, personal, and beautiful!

Christina really made an effort to make our ceremony personal and unique to us as a couple. I loved how she asked us to answer questions about our relationship and each other seperately, and then send them to her privately. We never knew what we said about each other until she sent a draft of the ceremony; it was a really special surprise to see how our answers were incorporated into our vows. Christina also let us review and edit our ceremony which allowed us to feel comfortable with how the ceremony would feel. Christina was professional, timely, and a pleasure to work with.

Christina made our wedding absolutely amazing. The entire ceremony was personal and customized to fit our personalities, yet still was sacred and meaningful. She met with us multiple times and discussed with us how we would like our ceremony to go, helped us through the entire process (from the amount of religion mentioned and religious references to writing vows and different types of mini-ceremonies), and then helped us with what to do after the wedding ceremony was performed. If you're looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony one to remember, we definitely recommend Christina.

Christina was the officiant for our ceremony in June 2011. She provided the perfect ceremony. The ceremony was written with a personal touch to include items and emotions specific to our relationship. We received numerous compliments on our ceremony and how perfect it was. Thanks for everything!

Christina was absolutely amazing. I am a busy working mom and didn't have time to meet with her, so all of our contact was either via phone or email. She still managed to make me feel comfortable and gave us the best ceremony. She was fun, flexible, and everything I could have wanted in an officiant. Thank you so much for the wonderful, heartfelt ceremony. Sarah Staton

Christina conducted our very low-key ceremony and exceeded our expectations. We wanted something very short and sweet and she offered a number of standard ceremony possibilities and even allowed for minor changes. On the day of our wedding, she thoughtfully provided me flowers and had her husband take photos for us. The ceremony tone was exactly what we wanted and we were very pleased with all aspects. In addition, she was flexible with time and place and was very responsive to our many questions.

Christina was great! She first met with us to discuss the various services she provides as well as get a feel for the type of relationship we have. At this point, she gave us a questionnaire that we both took home and filled out individually which described personal moments and feelings towards the other partner. Christina then met with us again to discuss the personalized ceremony she created. On the wedding day, everything went perfectly and Christina did everything just like she said she was going to do. I highly recommend her for your ceremony!

Christina was truely amazing! She preformed such a beautiful and warm ceremony and represented our marriage beautifully! She tailored our vows perfectly and really made us feel that she put forth both the time and the effort in creating such a beautiful, meaningful, and TRUE ceremony! Christina offered to us professionalism, advice, kindness and laughs along the way! More importantly, she made a lasting impression on both my husband and I, all of our guests and family members. I give Christina FIVE starts because she gave us a FIVE star ceremony!!! Thank you Christina!!! :)

Christina was wonderful! After first speaking with her, we loved how down to earth she was and appreciated her interest in getting to know us. She worked hard to make a ceremony that was truly what we wanted. She was always there to guide us, as much or as little as we wanted. Highly recommended!

Christina is such a natural at performing such beautiful ceremonies. We love her!! Her warm and calming nature really helped our nerves that big day and we couldn't have found anyone else but her to deliver such a wonderful ceremony! She tailored our ceremony to exactly what we wanted and added her own words to compliment ours...It was amazing!! She also gave us great advice along the way and really made us comfortable and confident with such an important day! Everyone is still talking about our ceremony and how it felt like she was up there telling a story, so natural, happy and meaningful. Thanks again Christina for a awesome day!! You're the best!

We LOVE Christina! She took the time to get to know us as a couple and wrote a beautiful ceremony, tailored to our personalities and what marriage represents to us. She was more than flexible, very communicative, and very patient! Christina made our day very, very special and we'll remember it...and her...always. We highly recommend her!

Christina helped make our ceremony smooth and effortless. She guided us as to what we needed to do, so there was no added stress. We had a beautiful little ceremony. Thank you so much.
