Kristin S. M. Gutierrez-Clarke
Ordained Minister in Dublin, Ohio
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My journey actually began when my spouse, Jovaine Clarke, and I were married virtually. That experience showed me firsthand how meaningful and intimate a ceremony can be when it’s thoughtfully planned, even when it’s not in a traditional setting. It inspired me to help other couples create ceremonies that are personal, inclusive, and tailored to their story—whether in person or virtual—so they can focus on love and connection while I handle the details and deliver a smooth, professional experience.
Where are you from?
Dublin, Ohio originally from Ponce, Puerto Rico
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
What I hope to achieve with my online ordination is more than just the ability to officiate a ceremony—I want to help couples start their marriage on a foundation of love, intention, and support. I have a genuine passion for marriage and the commitment it represents, and I’m honored to be part of that moment where two people choose each other for life. My goal is to create a ceremony that reflects who they are, celebrates their story, and leaves them feeling seen, loved, and ready to begin their journey together with confidence and joy.
Religious Affiliations
Spiritualism, Universal Life Church, Wicca
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Dublin, OH wedding officiant?
My ceremonies are special because they’re never one-size-fits-all—they’re built around each couple’s unique story and the kind of love they share. I take time to truly listen, then craft a ceremony that feels deeply personal and heartfelt, while still being clear, organized, and professional. I’m also there to keep the energy calm and joyful, guide everyone through the moment with confidence, and make sure the legal and logistical details are handled so the couple can relax and be present.
I also offer Wiccan services and can incorporate Wiccan-inspired elements for couples who want a spiritual or nature-centered ceremony. My heart is in helping people honor their love and commitment in a way that feels authentic, meaningful, and unforgettable.
