About
Congratulations!!    My name is Pastor Dean and I love to officate weddings.  I have been an ordained minister for over 33 years and always view it as a blessing to officiate a wedding ceremony.

Over the years I have conducted hundreds of non-denominational weddings in a variety of settings. I have officiated weddings at the Event Factory, at the Rusty Pelican, at the Kapok Special Event Center, at the Don CeSar, at the Renaissance Vinoy, at Sunken Gardens, at the Florida Aquarium, at Mirror Lake Lyceum, at Andrews Memorial Chapel, at the two churches that I pastored for 25 years, and at many resorts. beaches, and homes.

My goal is to help couples create and enjoy the wedding day of their dreams. I love performing weddings and it would be a privilege for me to officiate your wedding ceremony!

Additional Questions and Answers

 Are you actually a minister and where did you get your credentials?  Indeed, I am.  I received my Bachelor’s Degree in 1969 from The King’s College and my Master of Divinity degree from Denver Seminary in 1975.  Denver Seminary is fully accredited by the Association of Theological Schools.  I was ordained in 1975 and I am duly authorized to perform weddings in any state.  It really is Rev. Dean A. Ryder.

How long do most wedding ceremonies last?  The typical wedding ceremonies that I officiate are from 15 to 20 minutes long.  However, they can be as short as ten minutes or as long as an hour depending on the particular needs and desires of the couple.

Do you do short notice weddings?  Yes.  If I am available,  I will always officiate a wedding ceremony.
