Barry and his wife made our day perfect!
We decided to elope last minute 5 days before the wedding day. It was very simple and very intimate. Barry helped work with our last minutes decisions to elope and even helped plan the location and restaurant. INCREDIBLE experience! Thank you!We decided to elope last minute 5 days before the wedding day. It was very simple and very intimate.

Barry was the best
Ours was not the typical wedding and Barry was willing to work with us. He was so much fun and was so great to work with. Having him being our officiant was one less thing I had to stress about.
We would highly recommend him. He was the best.Ours was not the typical wedding and Barry was willing to work with us. He was so much fun and was so great to work with. Having him being our officiant was one less thing I had to stress about.

Great Officiant!
Barry was great to work with from start to finish and we highly recommend his services! We had a few meetings throughout the process, and being that our wedding was a destination - our conversations really helped us visualize and put our minds at ease for the wedding day timeline and space. Barry was always quick to respond and provided great feedback. Thank you so much!!Barry was great to work with from start to finish and we highly recommend his services!

Best Officiant out There
Barry was the best officiant anyone could ever ask for. He was knowledgeable about the ceremony process and knew exactly where everyone needed to be. He made sure that I was happy with the ceremony and included everything we wanted to make it absolutely perfect. Barry has a wonderful personality and sense of humor that eased all the worries we had. My now husband and I left the day after the wedding for our honeymoon. Barry was more than willing to send in the official wedding license for us. Overall, Barry went above and beyond to make our day beautiful.Barry was the best officiant anyone could ever ask for.

Amazing officiant!
We are so happy we hired Black Hills Casual Weddings to officiate our wedding! We met with Barry a few times over the phone and Zoom since we don’t live in the area, and he was so easy-going and patient while explaining his services and the ceremony process to us. He even shared his favorite websites and readings. At the rehearsal his humor and general ease kept things light, and he pleasantly guided us through the steps. This translated easily to the wedding day and made the ceremony beautiful and fun! We received numerous compliments on the ceremony as a whole and the beautiful words he shared with us. We were so happy with our ceremony and our day, and it had a lot to do with Barry! We would definitely recommend hiring him to officiate your wedding!We are so happy we hired Black Hills Casual Weddings to officiate our wedding!

Absolutely perfect!
Barry Sullivan was above and beyond any expectations we had for an officiant! He led us through the entire process and made our wedding fun, peaceful, beautiful and exactly what we envisioned. I would highly recommend Barry as an officiant for anyone's marriage ceremony! We could not have been happier with our experience.

Barry is Amazing
Barry was kind and open to any option from the start. Through the entire process he was helpful and friendly. The day of the wedding he was warm and flexible, in spite of a location issue on our end.
If you are looking to get married, Barry was immensely helpful every step of the way and did his best to make it feel personalized and tailored to our desire for our day.Barry was kind and open to any option from the start.

Barry was amazing! The easiest officiant to work with our rowdy crew and came up with a very heartfelt message for barely knowing Kyle and myself. Definitely recommend hiring him for all your wedding needs.Barry was amazing!

He recommended the perfect location off the beaten path during a busy holiday weekend. We would recommend Barry to anyone.Barry is the best! We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant.

Great experience!
Barry was terrific! We had wanted a simple ceremony but being new to the area, did not have any established relationships with local churches and a courthouse wedding felt impersonal. We were so excited to find Barry! He made the process very simple and painless, is very easy to get along with, has a great sense of humor, and even came out to our mountain home - 3 miles of dirt roads! - to perform our ceremony. He showed up on time, was dressed nicely, and officiated our wedding like a total pro. I’d highly recommend him to anyone.Barry was terrific!

Barry is the Best
Our original wedding plans in another state were cancelled because of coronavirus travel restrictions but within one week we found Barry and held a wonderful ceremony in the Black Hills. In the rain, he hiked two miles with us and our two witnesses to share a moment we'll probably cherish more than the rescheduled reception that someday will come - couldn't think of anything that would have been better!

Great service!!
Barry was great!!! He is very professional and very flexible. We had to move our wedding time to an earlier time due to expected rain and Barry was very accommodating and able to make the necessary changes to meet our needs. Great service! He is very personable and easy to get a hold of if needed and answered any questions we had. Reasonably priced for the amazing service we received. He brought his own PA system, so we just used that for the ceremony music instead of hiring a DJ. Overall, I would highly recommend them for your wedding if you are planning a wedding in the Black Hills.Barry was great!!! He is very professional and very flexible.
