About Spoken Heart Ceremonies
Katrina Baecht
Your ceremony is more than a ho-hum prelude to a rocking party---it should be joyous (or hilarious!) telling of your story, a love story that gives your guests a reason to celebrate! It should be a well-thought out reflection of your values, what love and marriage mean to you. I am thoughtful, warm, intentional, and genuine in my approach---I see my role as a friendly guide to help you figure out what your options are, shower you with resources, and help you navigate the sometimes tricky waters surrounding weddings. I'll walk you through the creation process, tell your story, and perform you ceremony with warmth and joy!
Couples often tell me that---to their surprise---the ceremony is the part of the day they remember most. Your ceremony is not only an opportunity for you to tell your story to your family and friends, but also a chance for the two of you to reflect on your relationship & what marriage truly means to you. Storytelling is at the heart of what I do, and I love helping couples tell their story!
In three words: Calm, Organized, Thoughtful

Katrina is pure MAGIC!
Katrina is an absolute wizard of words, the most compassionate soul, and someone who makes your special moments in life a million times more special with her magic touch! Katrina left such a lasting impact on us after creating a dream wedding ceremony that we have connected with her throughout the past ten years for other ceremonies as well, like a ‘welcome to the world’ ceremony for our firstborn, an intimate vow renewal, and I know we will continue to have her in our lives for many more celebrations! Katrina has the ability to take all of our messy thoughts and feelings and put them into the most beautiful, meaningful words that resonate with not only us but anyone who hears the words for years to come! I always leave our meetings thinking “It’s like she is in our heads! She just gets it!” She takes the time to really get to know you and adds such special intimate touches to the ceremonies that make you feel even closer in your relationship. She truly is the most amazing person with the kindest energy, the most beautiful outlook on love and relationships, and an instant friend!

I cannot recommend Katrina enough! I am Jewish and my now-husband is Catholic but neither one of us really practice. I'm from Texas and we both have family near Austin so we decided to get married in Austin, despite living in Oklahoma City. So out of state wedding with a bride and groom of different faiths. On top of that, nearly all of our guests were flying in from other states, so having an ordained friend perform the ceremony wasn't an option either. I found Katrina online and decided to give her a shot. We literally had to pick someone we didn't have a personal relationship with to perform the ceremony. We had to reschedule our initial zoom meeting several times due to our schedules, and she was so accommodating every time. After we met, she sent us a questionnaire and tons of samples of different portions of the ceremony. My husband and I started with her base and then tailored it to be our own, more specific to us. As a 3rd generation Irishman, my husband wanted to do a handfasting ceremony which Katrina performed flawlessly. It was a truly magical ceremony. She signed the ketubah without hesitation. Her "performance" was excellent. While she read from the script we crafted, she didn't seem like she was reading at all. Almost as if it were memorized. I cannot recommend her enough!

Katrina was an amazing officiant for our wedding. We truly enjoyed working with her leading up to our day as well. We met with her in person to talk through all of the important details of our relationship and our thoughts and feelings about what marriage means to us. We felt comfortable opening up to her about our feelings and she did such a great job taking everything she learned from us and composing our ceremony story. I appreciated all of the example content she provided to assist us with deciding on readings and even our vows. She had great insight and recommendations throughout the process that were very helpful in us making decisions about our ceremony. I had multiple guests at our wedding comment on how our ceremony was one of their favorite parts of our wedding day. It was unique, thoughtful, personal and very special. Katrina did an amazing job, she is a great speaker and very professional. Thank you Katrina for helping make our day so special!

We cannot recommend Katrina highly enough! She came to our rescue two weeks before our wedding when our original officiant had a medical emergency and had to cancel. Not only was Katrina available last minute, she was able to create the most beautiful and thoughtful ceremony that felt so true to us. All of our guests have raved about how personalized the ceremony felt to Chris and I, and said that Katrina did an amazing job. We feel so lucky to have found her!
