My fiance and I needed to find an officiant very quickly. I found Dreams Made Real online, and contacted them via email. I received a quick and detailed response, and confirmed our date. Kathy was a great help in putting together our vows and everything was ready for our wedding day. They were beyond helpful and patient on our day (the bride and groom were late!!!). But everything went as planned, and we are extremely satisfied with Dreams Made Real and definitely recommend them to officiate any ceremony.

We found Kathy and Joe through Wedding Wire when we were looking for a non-traditional officiant for our wedding. Neither my husband nor I are very religious, and we wanted something meaningful and personal for our wedding. Kathy and Joe met with us at our wedding site and discussed many non-traditional ceremony options with us. They were kind and personable and extremely helpful from the first day we came into contact with them.

One of Kathy and Joe's strengths is their responsiveness. Kathy would get back to me within a day- and most of the time, within hours- of my emails to her. I cannot express how grateful I was for this aspect of working with them. Kathy is wonderful to work with- always optimistic and supportive and working hard to find exactly the right words to express exactly what we wanted.

Though we only met with them in person once, Kathy and Joe acted as if we had known them for years. I honestly got to the point where I felt that I was emailing back and forth with a friend. I would recommend Kathy and Joe to anyone looking for a wedding officiant, and their price was extremely reasonable considering the amount of time and work they spend helping and preparing for each ceremony.

Thank you, Kathy and Joe!

Kathy and Joe are amazing to work with. Everybody is talking about how beautiful my ceremony was. I was very happy with everything and I highly recommend them for your wedding.
Our ceremony had to be strictly "non-religious" due to differences of faith within he family and it worked out amazing.

We hired Dreams Made Real to officiant our wedding in NJ. They were extremely pleasant to deal with and helped us put together the actual ceremony. The ceremony went off without a hitch and we couldn't have been more pleased. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Due to my wedding date, we were unable to use their services. They referred us to another officiant and we couldn't have been happier with them.
I'd like to thank Kathy for all of her help with helping us get in touch with the other officiant.
She was such a great help and had an excellent referral.
Thanks Kathy!

Got the date and place confussed a few times and didnt show for our 2st meeting but the day of went great. They were early and Kathy helped me with last minute things! Cant beat the price either..

Dreams Made Real responded with the following comments:

Our first meeting was rescheduled because bride sent an email stating that she and her fiance were having car problems. We met with her the following week. Also, she was constantly changing her ceremony even though her deadline had passed. 4 hours before her ceremony, she actually sent me her newest edition of the ceremony making us scramble to redo everything. When we got to the venue, she has us decorating her site, and she was not charged for this additional work. I feel we were more than accomodating for this couple and spent more time with her and on her ceremony than any other couple we've had the pleasure of working with. I was very disappointed that she was not happy with our services.

We were mostly happy with this service. He showed up early and provided what we needed. However, he did forget to say "you may now kiss your bride". This was a renewal of vows ceremony and I had to remind him to say it.
The price they charge is so much better than anyone else. So if you are looking to save money, they are well worth hiring!

We met Joe & Kathy to discuss their services and after telling them what we wanted and haearing what they do we knew they were the perfect fit for us. We are both not religious and wanted a purely non denominational ceremony. They provided us with exactly what we wanted. They provided us with sample ceremonies and there was one in particular that we loved. We chose that ceremony but they made it personal by adding a little story in the beginning of the ceremony. I provided Kathy with details about our relationship and she came up with a paragraph. She let my change what I wanted and I was very pleased. We received many comments about how great Joe was. My father in law was especially impressed by the beautiful ceremony. He is a hard person to please. All in all they were outstanding the whole length of our planning process. I highly recommend them.
