Your Wedding Officiant (yes, you)!
I bring a unique background w/me as a wedding officiant in Washington, D.C., Maryland & Las Vegas, NV. I'm also open to destination weddings w/advanced notice. I am prior-MILITARY & have traveled the world, so I've spent time with and around dozens of different cultures. My experiences help me to guide clients toward a calm, peaceful, and rewarding ceremony experience. I have an ENERGETIC personality and I'm eager to provide wedding services to suit your specific needs. I try to find ways to add a PERSONAL touch to weddings, and this has garnered exceptional reviews. Simply put, I enjoy HELPING others. I especially take pride in reading testimonials and reviews from people I've helped & provided services to. I often hear, "If not for Denise..." & it's both humbling & exciting. Instead of listing what I love & enjoy, I welcome you to spend time with me & see for yourself.
Tips are AWESOME!
I hope to hear from YOU!
Yours Truly,
Denise

Denise is a lovely woman inside and out. I highly recommend her. We hired her to officiate our wedding because she is a class act, unlike the other cheesy officiants we interviewed. She was easy to work with and very helpful in helping us shape vows that were right for our situation. We had two family emergencies just before the ceremony and she just rolled with it in a dignified manner. Hire her, you won't regret it.

We cannot thank Denise enough for Officiating our wedding. She was the best choice as our officiant. Denise was professional, nice and vibrant to work with. The ceremony defiantly embodied who me and my husband are.

Denise was amazing! From the moment I received and excepted the quote, she was communicating very promptly. I wanted a private intimate ceremony at home, and Denise delivered the ceremony beautifully. I'm very thankful to have had Denise be our weddingofficiant.

We hired Denise and are very pleased with her services. From initial contact, Denise was very warm and personable. She was also very professional and provided her fees and a written contract in a timely manner. We found Denise to be very accommodating. In light of her not being available for our rehearsal dinner (due to another wedding) she and I decided to "FaceTime" each other just to ensure that it would not be awkward on our wedding day. Once again, she was very friendly, warm and professional. It was almost as if we'd known each other already! On wedding day she was prompt, and performed the ceremony in the manner we discussed as well as incorporating the information she'd received from my spouse and I in advance. I really like Denise, she is extremely down to earth, and when you're already stressed about your wedding, you'll need someone like Denise who can keep her cool while helping you to keep yours! Thanks Denise!!!

Denise was an great officiant! Prompt, resourceful and a gifted communicator, Denise helped make our special day one to remember. Denise delivered the ceremony very well (despite the microphone losing power suddenly). We felt we were in good hands as Denise stayed positive and calm to help us through the all the challenges we faced. Definitely would recommend her services to anyone.
