Introduction: Every couple is unique, both as individuals and in the way they relate to each other. My job is to help each couple I meet to highlight the things that make you special to each other and to create with you a ceremony that reflects who you are and the love you share with and for each other. As an Interfaith Minister, I am able to incorporate many spiritual traditions and elements while not being restricted to only one way. Whether secular or spiritual, or a combination of both, I'm here to say "Yes!" to making your wedding ceremony a time to celebrate your commitment to love and support each other. I am absolutely thrilled by seeing the love that two people create within their relationship spread outward during the ceremony to include the friends and family who are invited to bear witness and to celebrate with them.

We had a fantastic experience having DiAnna officiate at our wedding three weeks ago. We probably weren't the easiest couple to marry since we contacted her a little more than a WEEK before our intended wedding date. We explained that we were flying in from Seattle and were hoping to have a somewhat spontaneous semi-elopement with only our immediate families attending. Her enthusiastic response to our nontraditional plans made us feel confident that everything would work out well. With so little time to plan we found it very helpful that DiAnna didn't just tell us how the ceremony would be but gave us nice options which provided the framework for the simple yet personal ceremony we had hoped for. On our wedding day we were so happy that DiAnna's fun easygoing spirit embodied just how we wanted the day to feel. We loved that she was ready to roll with what the day was bringing (a slightly late schedule, pouring down rain for an outdoor ceremony etc). If we had 6 months to plan our wedding we wouldn't change a thing, we highly recommend DiAnna.

What can we say about DiAnna? She is amazing, fantastic, a person with true heart, an amazing minister, and one of the most genuine, caring, and loving people that we have ever met. We were truly blessed to have found her. DiAnna went above and beyond all expectations on every level. She worked with us closely and helped us design a ceremony that was truly us. We also used her for premarital counseling...which helped us feel much more prepared for married life together. (Side note: we also are using her for post marital counseling, and career counseling). As for our ceremony, the only word that we can come up with to describe it is...perfection. It is rare to have a moment in time, especially one that you have dreamed about for so long, to be so perfect, magical and spiritual. There is literally nothing that we would have changed. We will carry our ceremony with us forever. Thank you DiAnna...from the bottom of our hearts. We love you. (Oh, another side note...every one of our guests that we have spoken with about the ceremony told us that it was the most touching ceremony that they have ever had the pleasure of witnessing.)

We were so lucky to find Dianna to officiate our wedding! She was very professional but comfortable as well. She presented lots of options for reading and rituals and really helped us through the process of making our ceremony meaningful and appropriate for us. Several guests commented on how meaningful and personal the ceremony was, and how well it suited us as a couple. She was super fun to work with and brought a light-hearted and personal touch to the whole process. I loved being surprised by the love message she added based on her meetings with us and questionnaire! We are so grateful to have had such a perfect ceremony that brought real meaning to the ritual!
