Christine was wonderful! She provided us with samples of prior ceremonies she performed for us to design our own ceremony. It was about my husband and I, not read from a script. She also helped coordinate our wedding in regards to directing the guests to the ceremony site (our wedding was held at a beach/park, the park area is where the guests first assembled). She has great ideas and suggestions and has vendors to refer you to. Most important though, she cares!
I highly recommend Christine.

Very easy to work with. Christine made it very clear from day one that she was flexible and would taylor the ceremony to meet our needs. Christine always arrived early for appointments and helped greet guest prior to the start of the wedding. Avoid the Officiants with the fancy websites who want to talk more about themselves and call Christine @ "Weddings by Christine", She will make sure its all about the two of you.

Christine takes her time to make sure your ceremony is personalized to you as a couple. She also makes sure you are comfortable with everything that is said & done during the ceremony. I would highly recommend her.

She is a very wonderful, outstanding person that takes the time to get to know the bride and groom and make sure that their special day is a happy one. She married my sister and she married me, I would recommend her in a heartbeat. The experience was a one in a lifetime.

Christine was very efficient in the planning of our wedding. She took the time to assist us with all of our questions, and made sure that we were comfortable with our vows.
I would recommend her to any of my friends or family.

OMG!!!! I just got married on 01/28/2011 and I can tell everyone and anyone that my ceremony performed by Christine was amazing, we were astonished by the quality of her services. We were just elated with her services. I was very fortunate to have come across her. From the first day we met her, she made us feel very comfortable. If you want a memorable, breathtaking, beautiful ceremony, I greatly recommend you talk to Christine de la Rosa. Thank you Christine you are the best!!!!!!....

From the moment I met Christine, I knew she was the right person to perform our ceremony. She was warm, helpful, and shared our vision from the very begining. She was able to give us ideas to make the ceremony perfect and also unique. She provided us with sample ceremonies from which we were able to put together a ceremony that worked for us. On the evening of the rehearsal she was early (perfect!) and had no problem inplementing our last minute requests. After the ceremony, the guests had nothing but positive things to say. They called her delivery "sincere and heart felt". She also included a moment of acknowledgement of my father (no longer with us) and both my mother and step mother thought it was done with grace and beautifully said. I can't recommend Christine enough...it was a perfect ceremony!

Christine was a wonderful officiant. She took the time to meet with us once before we decided to hire her as our minister, and she showed us all her sample ceremonies and talked us through how the day would go. As soon as we met with her we both knew we wanted to hire her! She was very warm and friendly, and open to what we both wanted.
She came to the rehearsal which was very nice, it really helped calm our nerves to see how the ceremony would really go with her being there.
She arrived early to both the rehearsal and wedding day, and she hand delivered our marriage license forms to the court for us. We didn't have to worry about anything!
Overall we had an excellent experience with her (and for a very fair price), and I will recommend her to anyone I know getting married in Ventura County!
Thanks Christine!

Christine is wonderful! The first time I spoke with her, she made me feel very comfortable. After she visited us for the first time we felt as we had known her for a long time. She was willing to help with a variety of things. She gave us samples of vows to view, which we used some, and changed some to make it more "us". We wanted to mention the blending of our families, along with our son. She was quick to take what I gave her, and send it back to us all completed.
At rehearsal, and at the ceremony she was very helpful. She helped the men put their boutonnieres on. She also gave great suggestions on poses to take for wedding pictures.
I wanted someone that would be a part of our wedding, not someone we just "hired" to perform our ceremony. Andy, and I both agreed she "shared" our day with us, and she is truly amazing. I highly recommend her!!!!

Christine,
Just a quick note to thank you for the wonderful ceremony. You were so helpful with the little details which enhanced our day and quelled our nerves. All of our guests mentioned at some time during the day how well everything went. Additionally, we didn't expect you to help with photo suggestions, etc. Thank you so much for that added touch. We are so grateful that we found you for this day. We feel so lucky. Thanks again!

When my husband and I met Christine, we already new she would be the right officiant for our wedding. She is curtious, negotiable, very nice and punctual. She made our wedding memorable and lovely. I strongly reccommend her. Thank you Christine! :)

If you want your wedding to be all that you ever wanted Christine would have to be the best of the Officiate around. Christine helps to make things go so smoothly. We really enjoyed her and really appreciate all that she did. She was so flexible and helpful with the vows. We really enjoyed doing the sand ceremony. I was really nervous and at the rehearsal she made those last minute jitters disappear. My wedding party made so many comments of how Christine made it feel so special. We are so happy with our choice and many other couple feel the same. Thank you once again for your services.

Christy was everything we were looking for in an officiant. Her proposed ceromonies fit us and it was painless to modify them to fit perfectly. We have nothing but good feelings, love and respect for her in helping make our day one of great joy! She also has a keen sense of humor which realy helped take the edge off the normal stresses of an event like this. Nothing but our highest reccomendations!!

Christine was amazing... she made ALL of Rudy & My dreams come true. She's extremly helpful and even helps at that little "calming the nerves" part =o) Whenever I needed to talk to her, I had NO trouble getting ahold of her... and she's there whenever you need her. If I had all that money to spend again to get married... I'd have her do it all again... see you in a few years when it's time to renew our vows! Thanks Christine! You were amazing!

I found christine in an ad on Craigslist. I emailed her and got a very quick response and was able to meet her the next week. She was very open to make my wedding exactly what I wanted. She provided me with a wedding booklet (at no extra cost) that not only provided me with vows and ceremony ideas, but with ideas and tips for my wedding as a whole. It was extremely helpful and useful to me. Whenever I called or emailed her she was very quick to response. She was professional and provided me with excellent service. She made our wedding exactly what I wanted. When I had a little issue with the marriage license (my fault, not hers) she went out of her way to help me fix the problem!!! A+++++ service, highly recommened,

I needed an early AM surprise vow renewal ceremony on a Wednesday and from the moment that I contacted her until the end of the ceremony; Christine was professional, interested, excited and motivated to help me pull the surprise off perfectly. I had no idea what the vows would be other than a few parameters but she effortlessly put together some text and emailed it to me that perfectly stated the feelings and emotions that I wanted to express. She is a wonderful officiant and I would highly recommend that you take advantage of any opportunity that you might have to utilize her services. You will feel a connection to her on your special day!
