Intimate Elopement

Beautiful experience! Dan was quick to respond and very professional. His garden was lush & vibrant with a mountain backdrop. He made the blind knowledge, especially with being from out of state, easy and smooth! His sermon was one of the most beautiful messages I have ever heard and he truly made our day perfect!

25th Wedding Vow Renewal

My husband and I decided on a small intimate just us 25th Wedding Vow Renewal ceremony. Dan captured in words the love that my husband and I have for one another. A love that will continue to sustain as we head into the next half of our loves together. We incorporated a hand fastening ceremony, and the words that Dan spoke as he bound our hands together expressed the eternal love my husband and I have for one another. Thank you Dan for making our day so special!!

Dan was amazing!!

We absolutely loved working with Dan! We came from out-of-state to get married and Dan made the process super simple for us by providing a step-by-step instructions on how to navigate obtaining an out of state marriage license. He was extremely kind throughout our wedding and helped calm our nerves before the ceremony. The service was beautiful and we loved every minute of it. We would highly recommend working with Dan!
