“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about April she was absolutely incredible as both our officiant and day-of coordinator! We didnt actually meet in person until the day of my wedding but it felt like i had already met her before even talking to her on the phone she was warm, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. As our officiant, she created a beautiful, personal ceremony that reflected our relationship and personalities. As our day-of coordinator, April went above and beyond. She handled every little detail with professionalism and calm, ensuring that everything ran smoothly so we could fully enjoy the day without stress. From coordinating vendors to managing the timeline to solving last-minute hiccups we didn’t even know about until it had already been solved April made it all look effortless. Thanks to April, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day. It was truly the best decision we made to have her as both our officiant and coordinator. If you’re looking for someone who is thoughtful, professional, organized, and kind look no further. We are beyond grateful! It was also a big surprise for us and made it even more special when we found out she also married my little sister on her wedding day back in October!!”

Christy Harman Weddings

Starts at $150
Serves Richmond, VA

I have had the honor of being a Civil Celebrant for nearly 5 years! Wow! Hard to believe I have been a part of so many couple’s beginnings! Now, over 325 happy couples! I strive to represent my couples in the best and most positive way. My approach is constantly having the mindset to start my couples off on the right foot. Begin their first day as a married couple with a ceremony that highlights their personalities and their love story. The ceremonies I do are around 18-20 mins in length and they are packed with moments that become outstanding memories. Becoming a Celebrant has been one of my greatest callings and achievements.

“Christy Harmon was the wedding coordinator and officiant for my daughter's wedding on September 6, 2025, and she was amazing! Christy's organization, leadership skills, can-do attitude, dedication, energy, and commitment to making the bride's dreams come true showed! Our outdoor wedding plans had to transition to an indoor service when rain moved in unexpectedly and she didn't miss a step. She pivoted and made it happen, and then after sweating for hours setting up, she seamlessly transitioned into the polished officiant as if she'd had all afternoon to relax and get ready. Her wedding program was so special and clearly showed that she got to know the bride and groom and cared about them. She worked tirelessly during the reception ensuring that everything was done exactly as the bride had planned and conducted all the vendors adeptly. She was amazing, and we are forever grateful. She is truly gifted at what she does. What could have been a disappointing day was magical in every way, and Christy is the reason.”
