About
As a licensed minister I have done weddings in multiple places and in several "church" settings, I sit down with the couple ahead of time so that the couple makes the decisions so they know exactly what is going to happen.
I really enjoy when the couple have the perfect (for them) wedding ceremony that they want.

We wanted a sweet and simple ceremony and Denise provided that. She was early to the ceremony and everything ran very smoothly. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for an officiant.

We are so happy with how our ceremony went! Denise, you are so kind and thoughtful and your words almost brought us to tears.
You exceeded our expectations. We only anticipated a quick ceremony almost like it didn’t matter, but once it was going my *husband* and I realized how special and sweet the ceremony could be.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Denise was fantastic! She was able to accommodate us on very short notice and wrote beautiful vows for us. I would recommend her to anyone! Especially those who are looking for a small intimate setting.

Mrs. Denise was an amazing officiant. She arrived early, was very understanding and made our experience amazing. I would recommend her for anybody who wishes to have a small or even big wedding. It was beautiful and she did an amazing job.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Normally $150 unless there is long travel times or extras such as costumes
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Most of the time I just talk to people over the phone, find out what they want, write their ceremony, and email it to them. In some cases, I need to meet with a couple at a local coffee shop to get to know them better
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was becoming a pastor and a couple came in that wanted something unusual, in that case costumes, and our senior pastor asked if I wanted to talk to the wedding couple. I did and loved the experience!
