Providing support to couples during their memorable occasions is a true privilege for our team at Celebrations Wedding Chapel.
About Us
Owner and Founder
Reverend Christine Tanier
Proprietress of Celebrations Wedding Chapel since 2011 and a wedding professional and industry leader for nearly 20 years, Reverend Christine has had the privilege of officiating over 500 weddings since 2004. As an ordained minister affiliated with Universal Life Church, she has happily married couples across Michigan and Colorado.
With a diverse background working with individuals in various roles—from hair stylist to bartender to antiques dealer—she possesses a deep understanding of people. She enjoys assisting and supporting them throughout the joyous yet sometimes stressful wedding journey. It truly is the best job in the world, and she is thankful to play a role in the most romantic day of a couple's life.
She was inducted into the Marquis’ Who’s Who in the Wedding Industry in 2021 and has a 5-STAR rating with Wedding Wire, receiving the Wedding Wire 'Couples' Choice' Award for the past 15 years.
“I also perform Weddings Off-site at a location of your choosing indoors or out. A park, a lake, a campground, another venue or your Aunt Lucy’s backyard.”
“I am proud of the heartfelt ceremonies we create at Celebrations Wedding Chapel. We are excited to share this magical experience with our couples and their loved ones.”
"Congratulations! You represent the top 5% of wedding professionals on WeddingWire. The Couples' Choice Awards® honor the exemplary work you've done over the past year and the highly regarded reputation you've established with your clients."

Boogheera (Boog Puddin’)
OFFICIAL CHURCH CAT
Boog keeps a close eye on all goings on around The Old Church and likes to invite himself to many of the celebrations and events we hold here. Boog is very friendly, but PLEASE DO NOT LET HIM OUTSIDE no matter how persuasive he seems. He can be removed from the chapel during your event if he is a bother.
