About

Greetings and congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Thank you for your consideration of my services. I have recently separated my two service businesses so you won't see a lot of reviews yet on my revised CDE Wedding Officiating listing. But for now, please also see my five star wedding officiant reviews in with my over 150 event bartending reviews at CDE Event Bartending! I am passionate and consider it an honor to join people together. I aim to earn the faith and trust they show in my services. Let me know what questions you may have that I can help with. I'm here to make you and your fiance's day special and stress free. My goal is to always convey warmth, sincerity and joy with the words of your ceremony! Creating that feeling is what my clients tell me sets me apart from the usual monotone orator. I have done my job if you feel we've known each other for years by the words of your ceremony. You can leave all traditional ceremony script text to me or give me any input you desire. A $50 deposit reserves your date in either my Venmo (CraigDane) no fee, CashApp ($craigdane61) no fee, or Paypal (my email add.) pay 2.9% fee (gratuities are much appreciated if earned but never mandatory). You may contact me at my email or cell. Thanks so much and best wishes for working with you for a lovely ceremony!

We were very grateful to have the Craig Dane, CDE Wedding Officiant perform our ceremony. They were on-time & very responsive to our needs. We very much appreciated the service they provided, and the wedding vows they used were beautiful. We couldn’t be happier!

Very friendly, willing to work with how fast or slow you want the process to go, on time, and being able to pay just the deposit up front was definitely a plus. Made us feel comfortable and was nonjudgmental! Thank you so much! I will definitely be sending anyone who asks for an officiant your way :) thank you for taking the pictures as well!!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Minimum fee is $125. Average fee is $150.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I just need to gather some basic, simple info from you re: ceremony text details, location, etc. Then I'll just need to know if you'd like to add or incorporate anything into your ceremony. Your deposit reserves your date and time. Fairly simple stuff!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am ordained by the Universal Life Church. My 20 years of theater and film experience are always an asset to conveying warmth and sincerity to the words of your ceremony. You will not get a monotone cookie cutter lecturer:)
