Rev. Dawn shedrick was so supportive during our decision to elope. She prioritized our value to marry each other during our humble beginnings. She tailored to our needs and basically guided us through the process. I would recommend her.

Right off the bat I loved that Reverend Dawn had a flat rate for elopements since that's what my husband and I did. She was very kind, flexible and worked with us (within two weeks) to make our ceremony special and sweet.

Reverend Dawn,

My husband and I are not part of a church but we are spiritual people, so finding an officiant became difficult. We didn't know where to begin to find a officiate, a pastor recommended Rev. Dawn. From the moment we meet her, she made us feel like we were the most important couple that she has ever worked with. We didn't want the traditional wedding vows, we wanted something more personal and to tell our story of how we fell in love. Rev. Dawn, couldn't have written a better wedding ceremony for our love, friendship, values, families, and spiritual beliefs for our special day. She put her heart, soul and sense of humor in our ceremony. She made our day so special, so many of our guests and vendors wanted her information. We are still receiving compliments on how different, and romantic our wedding ceremony was. Rev. Dawn, I cannot put into words how special you made our day, and we will be forever be grateful for that.

Smile,
Loriane & Christopher

We found Dawn online, via her fantastic web site, and knew pretty much instantly that she was the perfect officiant for us. She was kind enough to meet us halfway for our first meeting, and we fell in love. She was warm, charming, sweet, down to earth, and best of all, kind and funny. We had very specific ideas in mind for our ceremony, and wanted it to be entirely us. Dawn delivered, above and beyond our expectations. She custom wrote our ceremony, and it was better than we could've ever imagined. The day of our wedding she had us laughing, smiling and truly thrilled with how it went. I still have guests telling me how lovely our ceremony was, and how touched they were by how personal and intimate it was. She really captured our personalities, views, beliefs and love for each other in a way I didn't think was possible.

On top of her "duties" as our officiant, Dawn also offered us so much guidance and a friend to turn to throughout the planning process, which was wonderful. I'm trilled to say that I consider her a great friend, and I'm so grateful for that. We love Dawn and would HIGHLY recommend her to couples looking for the perfect officiant and friend.

It is very hard to put into words how perfect Rev. Dawn Shedrick made our ceremony. When my husband and I first met her, we knew we were going to have her marry us. She was so warm and understanding of what we wanted for our special day and went above and beyond our expectations. Her words were so touching and connected with us so perfectly so many guests asked how long we been friends with Rev. Dawn Shedrick. At the time, I would say, we were not friends, and they were shocked because it was as if she had known us our whole relationship. I believe that was because she truly took the time to listen and understand us. I can now say, yes, Rev. Dawn Shedrick is a friend, and she will continue to be a part of our lives with a very special event which is going to be birth of our baby. She is an amazing energy and personality that once you feel that surround you, you will know right away she will be perfect for any special day that you might celebrate.

Dawn of Abundant Bliss Ceremonies was fantastic. She customized our ceremony to exactly what my husband and I wanted and the words she spoke about our relationship and how we got to the point of marriage were spectactular. She helped and guided us every step of the way and we got the ceremony we wanted. She made it all about us and our love for eachother. The reading were beautiful and so spiritual. Dawn made our special day even more special and we know that we will continue to be in touch with her in the future. She is thoughful and loving and truly believes in the work she does and the great gift of love , we are so gracious and thankful for what she has given us. Abundant Bliss Ceremonies will always be in our hearts and we know thart Dawn will make your wedding ceremony an affair that you will remember forever. Matthew & Tara Hudson. 7/11/10

Dawn at Abundant Bliss provided exactly what I wanted for our wedding ceremony. First she drove out in a terrible snow storm to meet with my boyfriend and I to hear about our engagement. She was easy to talk to and took the time to listen to all our stories and what we hoped for in our wedding ceremony. She kept in touch with me from that time on to work on our ceremony, always willing to revise it to meet our expectation. On the big day Dawn arrived on time and helped to make us feel relaxed. The ceremony was beautiful and my family all thought it was perfect. We were very happy with using Dawn and highly recommend her.

Dawn is the best at what she does. She made our ceremony special by writing an personalized complete with our own and other author written poems. A really special ring warming ceremony. She even involved my children ;-)
We recommend Dawn she is amazing!

I WAS GLAD THAT WE CHOSE TO WORK WITH ABUNDANT BLISS FOR OUR SPECIAL I WOULD NOT HAVE CHANGE MY MIND FOR THE WORLD ..

Rev. Dawn Schedrick gave us the most beautiful ceremony anyone could
ask for. It was fully tailored to us and our story. Whenever any of
our family and friends talk about our wedding they always say how
beautiful and truly heartfelt the ceremony was and that they had never
seen such a personalized and meaningful ceremony before. The pieces
that she wrote for us were beautiful and a sign of the warmth she
holds in her heart. She offered us guidance with deciding on the
format of the ceremony and help writing our own vows. We could not
have chosen a better person to officiate our wedding.

Hire her! That's the short end of it. I knew I wanted her to officiate my wedding the moment I saw her website and then spoke with her on the phone. My partner fell in love the moment we met her in person. We just KNEW she was the perfect fit. She has a calming presence but also has a great sense of humor that really shines through when you're around her. We trusted her to write the entire ceremony and we were elated after the very first draft. She is a great resource on all things wedding related and made us feel so comfortable as a same sex couple. If you want a perfect wedding ceremony just like we did, Hire Reverend Dawn.

Wonderful!! Job well done!
