The woman behind the moment
Meet Kristen
Get to know Kristen
Kristen's journey to becoming an officiant began when one of her closest friends asked her to officiate her intimate wedding in Paradise Valley, Arizona. The experience was deeply meaningful and incredibly rewarding, inspiring Kristen to continue offering officiant services to both friends and couples seeking a heartfelt, personal ceremony.
Having worked in the wedding industry since 2011, specializing in wedding fashion, Kristen brings more than a decade of experience helping couples celebrate one of the most important days of their lives. Her passion has naturally evolved into creating intentional, intimate ceremonies in some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the country.
From knowing exactly where the morning light is most beautiful at sunrise to finding peaceful trails away from the crowds, Kristen combines local knowledge with a calm, thoughtful presence. Her goal is simple: to create a ceremony that feels authentic, deeply personal, and centered on the two people standing before her, allowing them to be fully present in one of the most meaningful moments of their lives.
She has great suggestions for locations that don't require a permit, so you can have your elopement ceremony with very short notice. Ask about her Bed and Breakfast package — perfect for couples who want to marry in Sedona and have a brief honeymoon in a stunning location in West Sedona.
"I don't just officiate ceremonies. I hold space for love stories. The red rocks have a way of making everything feel sacred — and I get to witness that every single day."
— Kristen Collette
