The Best wedding officiant we could have asked for!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Derek Dube as our wedding officiant for our ceremony at The Commodore on Nagawicka Lake. From our first meeting, Derek's warmth, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for his role shone through.

Derek took the time to get to know us as a couple, ensuring that the ceremony was personalized and meaningful. He skillfully balanced humor and sentiment, creating a ceremony that was heartfelt and memorable for us and our guests. His ability to articulate our love story and incorporate our personalities into the vows made the moment incredibly special.

On the day of the wedding, Derek was calm and composed, guiding us through each step with ease. His presence was reassuring, allowing us to focus on the joy of the moment. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful and touching the ceremony was, thanks in large part to Derek's eloquence and delivery.

We are so grateful to Derek for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. If you're looking for an officiant who is not only professional but also deeply committed to making your ceremony unique and special, we highly recommend Derek Dube.

Thank you, Derek, for being an essential part of our special day!

Derek is the perfect wedding officiant!

Derek was the BEST person to lead our wedding ceremony. He brought unparalleled professionalism and joy to our day. He took the time to get to know us and write an amazing ceremony script that was perfect for us. I would give 1000 stars instead of 5 if I could.

We felt incredibly supported throughout the entire process. The ceremony went incredibly smooth, thanks to Derek’s direction and thoughtful guidance. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony. We highly recommend Derek to any couple looking for a wedding officiant who will make their day perfect!! - Jesse and Kasey

Wedding Officiant 11/10- Do Not Miss Working with Derek!

My wife and I recently got married and had our ceremony officiated by Derek Dube from World of Wisdom Ministry. Words cannot begin to express our gratitude and satisfaction with Derek's services.

My wife and I originally interviewed several officiants who all tried to act as the "perfect" fit, but Derek is the only one that truly is. From our initial call with him, we could tell he was authentic and genuinely interested in getting to know us and learning more about our lives. That conversation was very informative, comfortable, and fun- we knew immediately that there was no other choice.

Following the call, Derek was was just as wonderful throughout the planning process. He is responsive, professional, and provides multiple resources to help prepare your wedding ceremony. We enjoyed building our ceremony with him and having the ability to make it personal to fit us.

On the day of, he is the best officiant because you already feel like you have been friends forever- he makes you feel very calm. We had several guests compliment his ceremony and mentioned that they enjoyed his blessing at our reception.

We are so honored and grateful to have shared our day with him by our side. If you need an officiant, do not miss the opportunity to work with Derek. He is a gem and a season pro at wedding officiating!
