Welcome! I'm Crystal M. H. Cook, a legally ordained officiant dedicated to making your special day truly memorable.

Versatility and Personalization I understand that every couple is different, and that's why I offer a variety of ceremony styles to fit your needs. From classic and religious ceremonies to modern and secular unions, I work closely with you to create a personalized experience that resonates with your journey together.
Legal and Spiritual Flexibility While my services do not replace a holy and sanctified marriage, I am fully licensed to perform legal marriages, civil unions, and vow renewals in the State of Wisconsin.

Civil Unions: For couples seeking a legal union without religious connotations, I offer straightforward and dignified ceremonies that emphasize your commitment to one another. Please note that due to my own religious affiliation, I am not permitted to perform same gender marriages, nor am I able to accommodate marriages between individuals in which the distance of kin is less than third cousins.
