Diane was really excellant to work with and she performed a wonderful ceremony. She spoke clearly and everyone could hear her really well. She also always replied to e-mails in a timely manner and was always friendly. If you are looking for a simple sweet short ceremony Diane already has one prepared. It was so easy. You also can't beat the price; since Diane is a state official she only charges the states fee of $50 and milage and then we gave her a tip. We definitely reccommend Diane as an officiant!

Diane did an excellent job for our wedding ceremony. We knew we wanted a meaningful, but non-religious ceremony and because of our tight budget, we really needed the officiant to be affordable. Diane went way beyond my expectations. We made arrangements to meet only once a few months before the ceremony and I really got the impression that she enjoys her work and cares about the people she is marrying. She asked us questions about ourselves and how we met. She also provided a template of a typical service. I made several changes and emailed them back to her a few weeks before the wedding. The day of the wedding, she was there on time and was extremely professional. She held the materials in a nice leather notebook for reference, but it never sounded like she was reading them. We had a lovely ceremony and it was a pleasure to work with her.

Diane was wonderful to work with and a fantastic addition to our wedding. My husband and I are different religions so we really wanted a nondenominational wedding ceremony that included traditions from both of our faiths. Diane was more than happy to accommodate our wishes. Diane was able to come to our rehearsal which was great because it allowed us to run through the ceremony so we knew exactly what to expect on the day of. At the wedding, the readings that Diane did were beautiful and all of our guests commented on what a nice ceremony it was. I would definitely recommend using her as your officiant.

We cannot say enough good things about Diane Stanley. We contacted her on short notice to conduct our service but she did not miss a bit with setting up the details and pulling off a great ceremony. Everyone commented on how nice the ceremony was. Coincidentally two of our wedding guests had also been joined together by Diane and we did not know until after the service. What a nice surprise. A true professional that added a lot to our day.

We throughly enjoyed her being there. She patiently waited for the bride to arrive who was very late. We will definitely try to have her as a celebrant when we exchange vows again after 1 year.

Diane was great to work with! She did both our ceremonies and she was wonderful. Diane, was very flexible with her ceremony and with her availability. I have already passed her name along to many of my friends who don't just want to be married in a court room. Diane costs were very reasonable and people are still talking about our ceremonies. I will continue telling people about Diane because she was amazing to work with and I want others to have an amazing ceremony like she provided us.

Diane was wonderful! She came to our rehearsal to make sure everything was set up perfectly for our big day. Her suggested readings were perfect and the ceremony she performed was absolutely beautiful. All of the guests were in tears during the "Hands" reading...including me (the bride)! Diane was exactly who we were looking for to perform our ceremony. She was prepared, articulate, and genuine. We loved her! Thank you, Diane!!

Diane was great. She performed the simple, intimate ceremony we wanted perfectly. She suggested several very pretty readings, that even after many, many weddings neither of us had heard, that fit our wedding very nicely. We highly recommend Diane!

Diane Stanley, Marriage Officiant worked with us to make a perfect ceremony! Even though were were having a a civil ceremony, we had several religions represented including Jewish, Protestant Christian, and Hispanic Catholic. We used some traditions from each, as well as the standard vows. Ms. Stalnley went with th eflow, was very professional, and made it a very enjoyable and respectful event. THANKS Dianne!
