Marriage Officiant- Authorized to perform marriages in Virginia and Maryland
Non-religious Ceremony, Civil Union, Interfaith Ceremony from all Religions -Renewal of Vows

CONGRATULATIONS!

Upon retiring from the Circuit Court of Fairfax County at the end of 2000, I was appointed as a Marriage Celebrant. Since that time I have married nearly 4000. My hours are very flexible and I enjoy traveling to new locations. A commitment of love is one of the most meaningful moments in a persons life. Some couples decide to celebrate this special moment with a simple private ceremony. Others decide to have a large celebration to invite their family and friends to celebrate with them.
Whether you decide to get married at the Courthouse, in your home, in a park, a historic mansion or in a ballroom the ceremony will be very beautiful and meaningful.

It would be an honor to help you start your new life together as a married couple!

If you are planning to renew your wedding vows, I would be happy to assist you.

Wonderful Officiant!

Diane was absolutely wonderful! We used Diane as our officiant for our wedding in November 2023. She was incredibly sweet and made everyone very relaxed. She made time to speak on the phone with us to learn more about us personally. She had wonderful options and recommendations for additional readings for the ceremony. Overall she led and delivered a beautiful ceremony!

The Best Officiant for a Fun Theatre Wedding

Diane was perfect! We had our wedding on leap day in a theater full of actors and musicians. Diane's ceremony was short and fun and seemed tailored to us. Working with her prior to the ceremony was super easy- we exchanged some emails and had a phone call. Diane knows her stuff! She even added in a reading by our favorite author (Neil Gaiman). I couldn't ask for a better experience!

Could not be more pleased!

It was a pleasure working with Diane! She officiated our wedding July 2019. She met with us before hand to get to know us and was friendly and professional every step of the way. She was also very helpful making recommendations and guiding us while we were putting together our vows and readings. She added joy to our amazing day. We highly recommend her!

I've worked with Diane on multiple occasions over the past 8+ years. Every ceremony she has performed has gone flawlessly. She has a level of professionalism combined with friendliness that makes my happy to say any couple would be fortunate to have her officiating on their wedding. day. From big formal weddings to small intimate elopements with just the couple she knows how to make sure the focus stays on the marriage and reflects each of her couples personalities.
