Introduction

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!

Craig was awesome. We called him on very short notice, like two hours before we needed someone and he had an hours drive and made it on time anyway. He was so professional and spot on. We greatly appreciate every little detail that we didn't have time to plan, he thought of it all.... thank you so very much....

It was my pleasure Priscilla. I'm so glad I was able to rearrange my schedule and perform Sandra and Ricardo's ceremony with the same day request! I very much appreciate your kind words and am happy that you were all so pleased! Best wishes to all!

Craig was amazing! Extremely professional. Kept us informed every step of the way. Suggested a great green space to do the wedding ceremony. He understood what we were looking for in the ceremony and even though I had no idea how this would go, he asked us a few questions and got everything right for the ceremony form that. I appreciate the good heartedness, lightheartedness and most of all communication and sticking to timing and having professionalism and ease throughout our ceremony. Craig fit us in in less than 18 hours from asking him. Thank you Craig!!!

So very kind of you Shabana to take the time to share such kind words! It's very much appreciated. I'm so glad I was available and able to figure out your ceremony logistics in a short window of time, but we did it together! I wish you and Damion the very best of luck and good wishes in your future together. When you always to try to put your spouse first, everyone wins in the end. Thank you so much!

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:)
