Ladies! If you are planning a hand-fasting ceremony (even if you're not), Gaia's Handfasting is the vendor you want to use. Kindra makes beautiful cords, and you can tell they are made with love.
I'm thinking of buying some for friends who are in the planning stages as well.
Thank you Kindra! You're art will surely make our day special.

Our Handfasting Cord
We just received our chord today and I am astounded how beautifully intricate it is. Thank you so much for listening to our ideas and incorporating our wedding colors into this truly special piece of work.
Just FYI if you're thinking about having one made, we changed our minds twice about what we wanted and each time she sent a photo and responded quickly, working with our ideas and comments.

The quality of our hand-fasting cord was wonderful! Gaia's wove a beautiful cord and shipped it in a timely manner! It was a truly magikal wedding, thanks to our custom hand-fasting cord!
GUEST
The custom cord that she created for my husband and I was beautiful! She took my ideas and ran with them to create a one of a kind cord. My husband and I used the pictures that the photographer took of it as a background picture in our wedding album since it came out so wonderful. We did not tell anyone that we were including a handfasting in our wedding so it was a nice surprise for our family and our mother's were the ones that tied the knot for us.

Kindra was amazing! She is truly a gifted woman. Our handfasting was very powerful and perfect! What an absolutely amazing ceremony. We can't express our appreciation enough. Kindra fit right in to what we had in mind and even added to it and kept with our intent. WONDERFUL! Thank you Kindra!

If you are considering Kindra, no need to look any further--she excels as an officiant, planner, and friend! Her suggestions helped my husband and I shape our ideas into a memorable and unique ceremony and she did more than her share to make our celebration run smoothly. She also went out of her way to help us personally, which is something that we feel indebted and truly grateful for. 5 stars for the heart, with-it planning, and graceful delivery--

Our wedding was Friday, June 4th and I didn't find the Gaia's Handfasting website until Friday, May 28th. It said call for rush orders so I did. I described what I wanted and she had it finished and on a Fedex truck the next day. When it arrived it was even more beautiful than the pictures she sent.
GUEST
Kindra is everything that you willl need in an officiant. She will absolutely do WHATEVER you want or need for your ceremony! She was 100% instrumental in making our wedding the MOST beautiful day of my life so far, hands down. Kindra really will take of your every ceremony need! Our ceremony had traditional elements as well as very unique, creative things that we just wanted to add in...also, she was great with including the two children into the ceremony. I hope your ceremony will be as amazing and beautiful to you as ours was for us!
GUEST
We were so pleased with our handfasting cord. When we saw the first photos, it wasn't quite what we were thinking, and Kindra made some suggestions and changes that made it absolutely perfect. We couldn't have been more pleased.

GUEST
I really enjoy the professional way the vender help my husband and I with our vows and the cermony.
I have been performing ceremonies that include handfastings for over 15 years. Gaia's cords are beautiful, well crafted and perfect for handfasting ceremonies. She is the only person I refer my clients to, when they want to "tie the knot".
About Gaia's Handfasting
union, bonding or tryst. The concept of a Handfasting is said to have
originated with the ancient Celtic culture. With the peasant class, a
Handfasting was often used because the couple was not wealthy
enough to require one nor did they need one as there usually was
no dowry to arrange for. Conversely with the nobility class, a Handfasting
was used almost like a modern day prenuptial agreement. The Handfasting
was used to signify the betrothal of the couple before the business of the
dowry and entitlement was worked out.
Today a Handfasting can be used in many similar and dissimilar ways.
It can be used to signify an engagement or betrothal. Laws being as
they are today, a Handfasting is an excellent way for a gay or lesbian
couple to make their commitment known. Additionally a Handfasting
can be added to any wedding ceremony, regardless of religion, as
"tying the knot" is a universal wedding theme.
FAQ for Gaia's Handfasting
Once you decide on the style and colors for your cord, I will
loosely put the cord together and take a picture to make sure you are happy with the
colors and style. If there are any changes that need to be made, I will rework the cord
and send you another picture. This will continue until you are satisfied with the look
of your cord. Once the cord is complete, I will send you a final picture when I mail the
cord out.
How long will it take for me to receive my order?
Custom orders can take 4-12 weeks depending on materials used
and alterations to designs. I have made cords and had them in the couple's hands
within 3 days. I can give you a better time estimate once you contact me to initiate
your order. Initial time quotes may be delayed by rush orders.
