Introduction

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.

Would have chosen All highlights for Denise, but was limited to three. We got ahold of Denise only about a week prior to our Big Day as our previous plan of officiant fell through. Denise was very responsive, made the whole process very easy. Started off by sending us a script for our ceremony. We requested to tweak a few things to the script and Denise was very accommodating to those, even with the short notice. Wedding Day was very hectic and stressful, but it was incredibly nice not having to worry about questions from officiant on wedding day. Denise just showed up on-time, knew where she needed to be, recited the script perfectly with the tweaks we requested. All in all was very professional and made the process very easy for us. Denise also had to travel a significant distance to our venue and was very reasonable on price. Would Highly recommend

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 101 - 150 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

Denise officiated my wedding and she was amazing! Very professional, super personable, and overall a kind soul who made my wedding day feel that much more special! She was easy to communicate with before the big day and made sure the ceremony would be exactly as we wanted it. She arrived early and chatted with my family and friends, by the time wedding time came she felt like an old friend!

I cannot begin to express our gratitude to Denise. She was a wonderful addition to my sister’s wedding. She was punctual, kind, caring, thorough, and fit right in with the family. We would recommend 100x over. 💜

Denise was magnificent! She showed up on time and really helped us out when we could not schedule with the courts. Very professional and knowledgeable and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a seasoned officiator.

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!
