Pastor Dean made my wedding ceremony exactly what I had alway imagined! Right from when we met with Pastor Dean and his wife, Donna, my fiance and I both felt very comfortable and knew it would be great. He not only offered us choices for vows and readings, but he also added his own words about us and made it very personal, including our favorite things about each other. Everyone commented on how wonderful he was and that is was one of the best ceremonies they had ever been to! It made everyone laugh and cry and it would not have been the same without him. His wife even helped us with the coordinating and timing of everyone walking down the isle! (they were helpful all the way through and even came to the rehearsal even tough they weren't feeling well!!) Thank you Pastor Dean and Donna!!

What a memorable ceremony! Pastor Dean is comforting and wonderful in his ability to express a couple's joy!! We found him through the reviews on weddingwire and communicated with him via email and phone.

Pastor Dean welcomed us over to his house and we met him and his wife. He showed us the various weddings, broke down the ceremony for us, and shared many memorable stories from his experience. When we left, we had choices for a welcome message, ures, and vows, as well as a feeling of excitement!

Pastor Dean is very flexible and helped us to give it those special touches that would make it our ceremony.

As another review mentioned- his wife takes pictures for their website and they are are beautiful photos! Pastor Dean and his wife were full of joy and happiness for us and a comfort to work with!

I would highly recommend him for your wedding!!

Pastor Dean did a fabulous job at our wedding!!! Him and his wife Donna are wonderful people. They make you feel comfortable no stress involved. The information we gave him about each other was turned into a wonderful ceremony. All of our guests commented on the way Pastor Dean made the ceremony unique to me and my husband. I would recommend him to any future bride looking for an officiant!!!!-- Keli Harrelson

Pastor Dean is great!! We found him through the reviews on weddingwire and talked with him over the phone about his rates and availability. I had talked with another vendor but they weren't available or willing to attend the rehearsal and they cost a bit more. Pastor Dean attended both the rehearsal and ceremony.

I went ahead and booked him before we met in person. He invited my (now) husband and I over to his house and we met him and his wife. He showed us the various weddings he's done before and then asked if we were still comfortable with him. We said yes!

He provides options for you to select for the ceremony. At points, we didn't like some of the religious readings so we found other information online that he is more than willing to include in the ceremony. He is very flexible and recognizes that it's our ceremony.

A small bonus is that his wife takes pictures for their website and they are nice enough to send us a couple copies, which I wasn't expecting.

I would highly recommend him for your wedding!!

Reverend Dean A Ryder was absolutely wonderful. He took the time to get to know us which made our ceremony even more special. He performed a beautiful ceremony which was very heartfelt. The things he said were so touching and inspiring, it made most our guests tear up. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is getting married and wants more than just a generic ceremony and officiant. He is amazing : )

Pastor Dean was just incredible! From the very first contact hi and his wife took the time to be personal, get to know us, and truly officiat a wedding that reflected us! He was incredibly caring, catered to our desires and was true to his and our faith. We had so many compliments on the blend of modern vs. traditional, the formal and casual aspects and the serious vs. fun parts of the ceremony. It was truly the perfect wedding & I can't say enough about it!

We planned our wedding in less than a month. Our biggest planning concern was finding an ordained Officiant who was both flexible to our schedule and capable of officiating our unique ceremony with very little time to prepare. Pastor Dean met all our expectations. He was congenial, flexible and very capable. We highly recommend Pastor Dean.

Pastor Dean was AMAZING. From the very beginning when we met with Pastor Dean and his wife Donna, they were extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home. The wedding ceremony was perfect and we received many compliments from our guests. We highly recommend Pastor Dean as we could not have asked for a better ceremony!! As a bonus, Donna takes great pictures and we received them in an email the day following the ceremony!! THANKS PASTOR DEAN AND DONNA!!!!

Pastor Dean is a very thoughtful officiant. He went out of his way to get to know us, and he made the ceremony very personalized for our special day. As a major bonus for us, he shared our love of hockey and even wore an orange tie under his robe to support our hometown team, the Flyers. We highly recommend Pastor Dean.

Our ceremony was wonderful. From our initial meeting, Pastor Dean came prepared with an outline of the ceremony and suggestions for all parts of it but still unique to us.

Thank you, Pastor Dean and Donna. It was a delight to meet you both and have you share in our day.
