About Me
Welcome to LiveLoveLind! I’m Chelsea Lind, a Twin Cities Officiant and Celebrant.
Crafting personalized & meaningful ceremonies for my couples is my passion.
Whether you prefer traditional or modern elements, I'd love to help you create a ceremony you'll love.
Renewals, Weddings, or other commitment celebrations are all welcome!
I began my officiating career as a favor for a friend's wedding. I was honored to be part of their big day!
So, I dove into blogs, youtube, trainings, and all manner of inspiration sources to prepare for my first ceremony.
I met with my couple and got to know them in a way I hadn't before;
I had the privilege of hearing their love story through their eyes and hearts.
This intimate experience was inspiring. I fell in love with their story, with all its sweetness and quirks.
And just like that! The ceremony script began to pour out of me. Working closely with the couple,
we ended up with a script they both loved. A blend of traditional and unique elements that was all their own,
they felt their guests truely got a glimpse of the love they share. One ceremony led to the next,
and before I knew it-- I was hooked! Getting to know couples in this unique way &
composing ceremonies that reflect their personalities & story turned a favor into a fervor.
Officiating has become a labor of love, and I would LOVE to be part of your big day as well.
Let’s connect! Please feel free to send me an email to setup a "Get-to-Know-Me" meeting to see if I'm the right fit for you.
Why Us
Why choose us for your wedding?
The Wedding Workshop
Planning a ceremony can be daunting! Not surprisingly, most couples aren't sure what all they should or could include. In my 1 hour wedding workshop I guide my couples through all the standard ceremony elements, highlight possible ceremony additions, and discuss their vision for their vows. With the remaining time, we will capture all the day-of details to ensure a smooth ceremony. By populating a shared document summarizing the ceremony's cast of characters, day-of vendor coordination information, and any must-have or must-avoid details we will never be out of sync. Don't have all the answers on day 1? Don't worry! The workshop kicks off the creative process, but we can make changes and updates right up to the big day.
Your Wedding, Your Script
You can have peace of mind knowing what will be said, word-for-word, on the big day.
24/7 access to your wedding ceremony script via Google docs allows us to collaberate throughout the process
and gives you total control over the final draft.
Want to keep your vows a surprise? No problem!
I love a big reveal and am happy to create separate documents for the vows and work with you both privately.
Custom & Personal
From the welcome to the pronouncement and everything in between, I will guide you through the options during the 1 hour wedding workshop. Once you've decide what elements you'd like to include, we can start giving your custom ceremony that personal touch. Instead of pulling platitudes off the internet or from the wedding I did the week before, I like to begin the ceremony by telling your love story. There’s magic in how you met, fell in love, and got engaged. As your story unfolds, friends and family get to share in that magic and glimpse the unique love you have for one another.

Wedding Rehearsals - $50
At LiveLoveLind, we've separated out our pricing for rehearsals for the convenience
of our couples.
We recognize not every wedding requires or desires one! So we leave it up to you. However,
I always recommend having a rehearsal. It's a great way to ensure your bridal party knows where to
stand,
how to face the camera, and various other tips that ensure a smooth processional.
It also gives us a chance to change up any last minute details so that the day is just as you want it!
This package includes:
-
Talk through: I spend the first part introducing myself to the party and talking them through your ceremony. I will not read the script word for word, we'll save that for the day! But I highlight cues they need to know, and the general elements that will take place.
-
Walk through: Next I guide the party through all the motions at 1/2 speed. I promise the first walk through will look awkward! But it's just a warm up to get everyone used to the space and the cues.
-
Final Walk through: Now that everyone knows where they need to be, we repeat the processional from the beginning to the end, and answer any final questions. This final step is where it all comes together so you can feel confident and relaxed on the big day!
-
This should take between 30- 45 minutes depending on the number of party members and complexity of the ceremony.
