Diane was a true pleasure to work with and helped make our ceremony amazing! We definitely recommend her to anyone that wants to have a lasting and memorable, and AMAZING ceremony. She really helped my wife and I be very at ease with the process as well as reading a few really heartfelt, amazing passages/poems.

We highly recommend anyone that is getting married, to use her services, as she is the best officiant ever, and an even better person. There really is no other choice :)

Diane was wonderful! Our wedding was two days before Christmas and she graciously came out to our home to marry us. Her ceremony is beautiful and my husband loved it too.

Diane was the PERFECT officiant for us. We used her suggested selections with one or two very minor tweaks and added a reading of our own (the Velveteen Rabbit). She read everything with clearly and with her heart, our guests were crying... but in a good way :) My now-husband was little nervous and she helped him relax and enjoy the moment. Thank you Diane for making the ceremony absolutely perfect!!

Diane was absolutely fabulous! Her words really added that special touch to our ceremony that we wanted. Our guests really enjoyed listening, and we recieved many compliments. She also was extrememly helpful when it came to selecting vows that would work for us, as well as a big help at the rehearsal dinner. Diane always made herself available when we needed her and we are so thankful that she was a part of our wedding!

Chris and I want to thank Diane for doing such an excellent job officiating our wedding ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better, warmer, or more professional marriage celebrant to share our day with us. She did exactly what we wanted just beautifully and, despite having met me only once months ago, added exactly the right touches to the ceremony we'd created.

We're so glad we chose Diane to marry us. Please consider her as you look for someone to help celebrate your day! :)

We felt that Diane did a great job officiating our wedding! She put everyone at ease, seemed very comfortable in her role, was on time, and responded to calls and emails promptly in the preparation phase. Our guests made comments that they liked her and felt that she did a great job.

Diane was great! She was extremely helpful in putting together our ceremony, and provided tons of examples we could look through for our sand ceremony and wedding vows. She was very responsive, and was there early on the day of to go through everything since we were not able to have a rehearsal. She even typed up the ceremony for me ahead of time so I could look it over! I would highly recommend Diane if you are looking for an officiant, she did an excellent job, and we can't think you enough for making our wedding day memorable! Thanks again Diane!

My husband and I looked all over to find that special person to marry us on our wedding day...we found it when we called Diane. She did an amazing job for us and I would recommend her to anyone.

We actually asked our venue for a list of vendors and Diane was one of their preferred and then we saw some reviews on here and gave her a call. She did a very nice (and quick ceremony...it was raining on and off all day long and we wanted to make sure we had our ceremony outside...she made sure we got it all in before the rain) ceremony. She even read the Corinthians for us. I think another added touch was she knew our colors were purple and she had her shoes match, it was really nice of her to think of that. She was very professional and was easy to work with.

Diane was a pleasure to work with. She incorporated everything I wanted into the ceremony; as we had a family ceremony to include our children and the sand ceremony.

Diane was recommended by our venue. We wanted a short and sweet ceremony, and Diane gave us examples of vows and readings she frequently incorporates into ceremonies, and went over them with us to make the changes we wanted. Diane added in a wedding winebox section for us, and although she was unfamiliar with the tradition before, the words she chose to share at that moment were perfect. We were very pleased with Diane, got a lot of compliments, and have already recommended her to our engaged friends.

You know you have a great officiant when your wedding guests comment on how well she ran the ceremony. Diane is a very sweet, friendly, creative, and knowledgable woman. We liked her personality right off the bat. In addition, she was very affordable, and she used to be a wedding planner so we appreciated her extensive wedding advice beyond the ceremony. She had a lot of ideas to help us make the ceremony perfect for us. She is responsible and was on time for both the rehearsal and ceremony. She ran a tight rehearsal where we were able to run through everything multiple times and still finish early. The only thing that I found a little frustrating about Diane's services was that she wasn't very responsive with e-mail. There were times I had to e-mail her more than once about a particular question before receiving a response. I found that calling her was more effective. This issue, however, is not something that should deter anyone from hiring Diane as your officiant. We highly recommend her b/c she did such a great job with our ceremony!

We had last minute changes to our wedding celebration and contacted Diane less than a month before the wedding. She responded right away and was professional and accomodating throughout the entire process. She met with us prior to our wedding day to go over the vows and even gave us information about what we needed to do to get our paperwork done at the courthouse. On the wedding day Diane showed up early and included my son in our wedding vows which brought tears to my eyes. Diane was absolutely fantastic!

Diane was wonderful! We put together a very intimate wedding in just a couple days, and she was able to fit us in on very short notice, which was fantastic! We loved how sincere of a person she is (not fake or putting on a show at all, just a normal real person). Our vows were short like we wanted, but beautiful and heartfelt. We were very happy, of course, to be getting married, and she seemed genuinely happy to be marrying us! I would recommend her for sure!
