Introduction: Marriage is the creation of something new and beautiful. My desire is to create a ceremony that is stress free and special for you. I love working together with couples to create an experience that reflects you and your fiancé. At times a couple may feel uncertain navigating unfamiliar wedding traditions in today’s world. Marriage is a beautiful ancient custom that accommodates each couple that commits to it. I am happy to share my experience to guide you through the process and work with you to incorporate your ideas and inspirations. I strive to make your ceremony look and sound the way you imagined it. After all, your wedding ceremony should reflect the love you share with one another. I also specialize in Premarital Mentoring and would love to walk with you and your fiancé through this valuable and sacred journey.

Pastor Dean did such an amazing job officiating our wedding, but he also did so much more then officiating. He shared words of faith, wisdom, gave advise on a successful marriage and made our wedding day so special! He exceeded our expectations, he was professional, so kind, and has wonderful values. Our original pastor who we planned on marrying us, last minute couldn't so we were searching for someone new and I came across Pastor Dean. After reading his short BIO there was something about it that I felt he was the right one. A successful marriage, children and years of pastoral experience, I then inquired about booking him. He responded almost immediately with an email and a phone call which meant a lot to me. He had other commitments the day of our rehearsal and the day of our wedding but he didn't use that to not be there for us. He made it work so he could fulfill all of his commitments and we are so thankful he did. I feel that alone shows how much he cares about each couple or individual he works with. We didn't have much time with Pastor Dean, but he helped plan a beyond perfect ceremony. He listened to exactly what we wanted and what our expectations were, he helped us through the things we were unsure about or unplanned aspects and was patient and kind through it all. He is a wonderful speaker who speaks with passion and I feel that was a huge part of making our ceremony as special as it was. He gave us the gift of starting out our marriage blessed, with so many kind words from him and God. I highly recommend Pastor Dean, you will not be disappointed.

It was an honor to have Dean officiate our wedding day! We had a small immediate family backyard wedding that he helped make even more special. Dean’s words were lovely and thoughtful. We will definitely be recommending Dean to anyone looking for an officiant in the future!

First, thank you Pastor Dean for your time, care and wonderful personality. We were so happy to have found Pastor Dean. We were anxious to find the right person. He was very welcoming from the start. There was no pressure to use his services either. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else. He matched our humor and personality. He worked with us 1:1 and was very professional. It didn’t seem just like a transaction compared to other officiants we had found. I want to give him kudos as well for wearing a full suit because that was a very high humidity and high temp day!!! My husband loved that he put him at ease when they were at the end of the isle. All positives to say. I think the pictures say it all….
