Your Custom Ceremony

Chris was the officiant at my wedding on 02÷06÷16. We initially met with him in November before the wedding and worked with him via email after that. Chris was charming and funny when we met him, and we knew he was a perfect fit for us. He wrote an amazing custom ceremony for us and gave us helpful feedback on writing our own vows. He told our story in way that was funny yet romantic, and the people attending our wedding had assumed we had known him for years. Chris’s flawless delivery and confidence speaking made our ceremony my favorite part of our wedding. The personal feel of the ceremony gave me the ability to deliver my own vows to my husband without nerves and with a full heart. I enjoyed working with Chris and hope to have him in our lived for many years to come!

Chris did an AMAZING job at our wedding! :) We loved the Ceremony and everything came out so nice. The ceremony was romantic, fun and fit our personalities so well. The flow of everything went perfect and the thing I liked the most was that he really took the time to get to know us as a couple before our ceremony! It was the best day of our lives! Everything was perfect! I would definitely recommend him! You will not be disappointed! Thanks for everything Chris!

We knew Chris was our officiant within the first 30 minutes of meeting him. He is professional, down to earth, and has a great sense of humor. He is a man of faith and knows the word. He has a unique approach to handling weddings by giving couples homework that gets revealed during the ceremony. This was such a treat to hear for the first time and the anticipation was such a plus! He will incorporate any aspects into the wedding you want and will add his own flair truly enhancing your vision! We did a hand tying/​fasting ritual and Chris brought it to life! The words were so beautiful! He made us feel incredibly comfortable throughout the ceremony and in all meetings/​correspondence up until the big day! He arrived early to both the wedding and rehearsal! He made sure both of us were okay and calm before the ceremony an had great words to keep you calm! His marriage advice was invaluable — we will incorporate it for the rest of our lives. Chris is strong at helping shed light on the others perspective in the relationship based on his great judgment of character and results from couples his. This isn’t just a job for him. He is incredibly passionate about bringing two people together in the presence of God and family for all the right reasons and wants it to be right! I highly recommend him! He will ensure your guests are not asleep and are thoroughly enjoying themselves the entire ceremony!!!

I never write Unilocal reviews, but I was so impressed that I was compelled to write one! Awesome service! Great communication throughout and the ceremony itself felt very personal. He provided us with homework, in which he asked us questions about each other. He then took our answers and revealed them during the ceremony. His incorporation of humor coupled with the sincerity of his delivery was masterful. Aside from the homework, he customizes your ceremony down to the last tee. The mood, unification ceremony, what he says, and how you are addressed are all to your preference. And if you are like myself who has no idea how this marriage thing is supposed to go, he is an excellent guide and will take the reins when necessary. His emotional intelligence and ability to read a couple and their needs are phenomenal. Our family and friends could not stop raving about him and kept asking where we found this guy! I would not hesitate to recommend him just for the sake of being around him again. Chaplain Chris did a wonderful job and is an awesome human being.

Chaplain Chris was really easy and fun to work with. He was very thorough and helped our wedding ceremony be a special one. After the ceremony we received a few compliments on Chaplain chris, mostly being that he kept the flow of the ceremony smooth, and that he was funny, and enjoyable.

Chaplain Chris Dickens truly delivered on our wedding day! After numerous interviews to try and find the best officiant for our wedding… we knew Chaplain Dickens was the best choice for us! Not only was he personable, he really took the time to get to know my fiancé and I and the relationship we have. He customized our wedding to exactly what we wanted… a celebration of our love. Our wedding guests have all commented on what a fantastic ceremony it was. Guests thought that Chaplain Dickens was a life-​long friend because of how well he told our story! It was funny, light-​hearted and simply… us. We love Chaplain Dickens & highly recommend him to all!

I think I’ve received more compliments about Chris than I have for any other component of my wedding. Chris takes the time to really get to know you to ensure that the ceremony is personal and special. At our first meeting we hit it off and knew immediately that he was the officiant for us. He took lots of notes and came prepared with questions to get an idea of who we were as a couple. Both of us were emailed «homework» which consisted of questions that we filled out separately and those answers were worked into the ceremony. It was so fun hearing how we both responded to them. As the wedding got closer we met again in person so he could get to know us further and make sure the ceremony was perfect. Chris wanted to make sure that the ceremony was exactly what we wanted and that he was able to capture us as a couple. Communication was great throughout the entire process and he happily accommodated all notes and requests after he sent the first draft. Our ceremony was the perfect combination of laughter and tears and was so much more than I ever expected it to be. Seriously, have you ever been to a wedding where people are still talking about the officiant a week later?

(Our story is a little different). I was looking for an officiant one month before our wedding date b.c. the priest we were originally speaking with was asking for $ 800! Well I have never been more thankful for review websites because it led us to Chris. WOW from the moment we spoke on the phone it was clear he was set apart from the old school officiant stereotype. He was funny, witty, and I just knew we had to have him be apart od our ceremony. It truly is A CUSTOM CEREMONY. He sends you home with «homework» several questions about you and your fiancé … which he incorporates into the ceremony and you hear the answers of for the first time at the cermony itself! AMAZING! Its those special touches that matter, trust me. We have a four month old and Chris was more than willing to meet with us via Skype for our convenience. We fell in love with him instantly. He is the best blend of funny personable yet completely professional. He even asked us what our attire would be the day of so he wouldnt clash. When it came to our wedding ceremony, everything was going smoothly, then bam, when it came time for me to read my vows, turns out our wedding planner misplaced them and Chris was so quick to think on his feet… he went right to sharing funny and candid stories from our homework about how my husband and I firat met from the top of his head! After aboit 7 minutes of our coordinator scrambling to find the vows it was apparent we needed a plan B. Of course chris to the rescue had his I pad on hand and lent it to me to read my vows right from my email! Saved the day COMPLETELY, and all of our guests kept talking about how wonderful he was the entire night long. We even brought our four month old baby up at the end to have a custom baby blessing that involved our guests
When it came time for our first kiss, Chris held our son (he’s a father of three himself). Priceless moment. We couldnt’ve asked for a more memorable ceremony or officiant, who truly saved the day! I want to scream from the rooftops how much we’d like for everyone to share the same experience we’ve had with our amazing officiant. Thank you Chris for all that you’ve done for us and our family. We will never forget it!

Chaplain Chris was seriously one of the best investments we made for our wedding. He set up a really awesome personal ceremony. It was short (which we really wanted), funny and totally personalized. Leading up to the wedding, we met in person twice and were in contact through email. He was on time /​early for both the rehearsal and the wedding day. We have heard nothing but compliments from our guests. We would recommend him to anyone.

Chris is the man. We hit it off with Chris right away. People after the wedding are still complimenting on the ceremony. He is very personal and friendly. He catered it to our needs and added his own touches. Really could ask for anything more.

My new husband and I knew we had found the person to perform our wedding ceremony the day we met Chris. Right after our first meeting, we both said yep, that’s our guy! He is very sweet, funny and charming. Chris is a consummate professional who knows exactly what he doing. His ideas were spot-​on what we were looking for. He listened patiently to our story of how we met, why we want to get married and then gave us homework to help him create the perfect customized service. Our guests loved him and they commented how wonderful our wedding was all night. We could not have done it without Chris. We are so grateful to him for everything and hope to remain friends for years to come.

Chris was so thoughtful and thorough putting our ceremony together. He met with us first, gave us homework to do, and even helped us at our rehearsal. Funny and warm, Chris did a great job. So glad that we found him! Thank you Chaplain Chris!

Chris was great. He really helped make our special day memorable. He was flexible, enthusiastic, and punctual. If you want a personable, reliable, reasonably priced chaplain, Chris is for you!

We met Chaplin Chris 2 weeks prior to our wedding in January. He was very open to hearing about my husband’s «dream» wedding. He was very observant and pegged us to a «T» and made reference to it during our ceremony. Although I thought it would be a quick ceremony without much reference about our life together it turned out to be so much more,
Chaplin Chris personalized our ceremony, making it very special, funny and very touching.
Many of our family and friends commented that Chris was very good and were shocked to know we had just meet him, many thought we had known him for months or years prior to our wedding.
I would recommend Chaplin Chris to anyone looking for a officiant, he will not disappoint!
Thank you Chris!!!

I have had the opportunity to attend several weddings that chaplain Chris has officiated and have been impressed each time. He makes each ceremony personal and has a way of bringing in humor without seeming irreverent. I have recommend him to several of my friends who are getting married in the next few months. He is definitely your guy if you want a customized ceremony.
