It was a pleasure to have Pastor Dean Ryder conduct our wedding ceremony. Pastor Dean and his wife Donna are a joy! About a month before the wedding, they welcomed us into their home and got to know us. My husband and I knew right away that we had made the right choice for our day. They made it special, full of laughter and a few tears. Pastor Dean was patient (my husband was a little emotional) and full of smiles and guidance. Donna is a fabulous photographer! I have a big smile on my face as I write this review. Thank you Pastor Dean!

Pastor Dean and his lovely wife Donna are the best! He was quick and very responsive and was able to accommodate our rehearsal with no problems at all. I love how he made the ceremony very personal for us. He was above and beyond what we could have asked for. Thank you!

Pastor Dean officiated at my daughter's beach wedding. He was on time and prepared for both the rehearsal and ceremony. We selected him because we wanted a meaningful ceremony and he delivered. His dear wife Donna, sent me my first set of pictures from the ceremony. I would highly recommend Pastor Dean.

Pastor Dean was awesome!! He and his wife are so friendly and we could not have picked a better officiant! Everyone has said our ceremony was beautiful and we would not been able to have such a great ceremony if it wasn't for Pastor Dean. All of the personal touches that he put into it really made our day! Even though we did not know him before, he and his wife personally met with us in order to get to know us so the ceremony could be personal and to our taste. We really enjoyed working with them and would recommend him to anyone!

Pastor Dean did an absolutely wonderful job officiating our marraige!! He has a warm and welcoming demeanor that made our family and friends feel at ease and conducts a very heart-felt and meaningful ceremony. I would reccommend his services to any future bride without any reservation!!

Pastor Dean and his wife Donna are absolutely wonderful! They really took the time to get to know us, and even included a special memorial portion of the ceremony for family members that we had lost. Our guests were very impressed with Pastor Dean and loved the uniqueness of the wedding. Donna took so many beautiful photographs for us as well. Thank you so, so much for making our day so special!

Pastor Dean and his wife were wonderful. Anytime I had a question, he was available to answer it. We had an outside wedding and there was a hurricane coming so I had to change several things about the wedding several times. Pastor Dean was very flexible and went with the flow. He had great ideas to help us include our daughters. The wedding was perfect, we could not have asked for anyone better. Thank you!

Pastor Dean was WONDERFUL! He graciously invited us to his home for our first meeting where he outlined possibilities for our upcoming ceremony as well as gave us great advice we hadn't even thought of! He was very responsive in our communications with him and patient as we groped our way through decisions. The day of our wedding he arrived early and his sweet wife, Donna, helpfully organized the milling people to where they needed to be. He used what he had learned about us in the ceremony which provided a really personalized ceremony that everyone loved. Guests all agreed that 'he's great!', "I could hear all the way in back", and best of all, I think, "his sparkling eyes really show he loves what he does". We have since watched our wedding video many times and every time we enthuse that Pastor Dean was the best decision we made about our special day. His presence that day made our ceremony the best we could ever ask for.

We discovered Pastor Dean online, after reading several amazing reviews about him. After our first phone conversation with him - we knew he would be perfect for our wedding! We loved his upbeat personality. He incorporated personal information about us into the ceremony which made it very special. Pastor Dean and his wife Donna are kind, welcoming and organized. We would highly recommend Pastor Dean for your wedding!

Pastor Dean was wonderful. My husband and I are from Illinois, so it's not always easy to find someone from a distance. I went with Pastor Dean based on all the great reviews about him. He was very quick with emailing me any information. He had my husband and I fill out out information so that he could get to know us. We also spoke on the phone. On the day of our wedding, he and his wife, Donna, arrived to marry us. They were both very understanding when we changed our location to a more secluded spot. The ceremony was beautiful. It was nice that he personalized it to fit us. God is very important to my husband and me, so we loved having Pastor Dean perform our wedding. Donna took pictures, and we were happy to receive them very quicky. Pastor Dean and Donna are amazing people, and it was a pleasure to have them as part of our little ceremony.

Pastor Dean did a wonderful job at our ceremony, I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant in the Tampa/Florida area!

Pastor Dean was absolutely wonderful! I cannot say enough about his enthusiasm and passion for what he does.

My husband was in charge of finding an officiant for our ceremony (one of the very few jobs I gave him). After he found Pastor Dean he was so excited to tell me all about his conversation! He felt as if he was a great listener, inspirational, and loved that every picture of the wedding services he has listed - people are ALL laughing and smiling.

We wanted a small destination wedding with a lot of sentiment and meaning. Pastor Dean was more than able to provide that! My family thought he was wonderful and we were all laughing and smiling throughout the ceremony! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Pastor Dean was the perfect officiant for our wedding. Since the moment we met him he made us feel comfortable. He made our ceremony feel extra special and personalized. I highly recommend him to anyone getting married. He was great to work with.

Pastor Dean was absolutely awesome. He made our ceremony joyous and full of life. He has a great attitude and is very pleasant to be around. Very prompt in answering all questions we had and also used a questionaire to make our wedding ours. A highly recommended pick for any Style of wedding!

PASTOR DEAN IS GREAT. HIM AND HIS WIFE ARE SO KIND! PICKING OUT YOUR OFFICIANT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND I WOULD RECCOMMEND PASTOR DEAN TO ANY OF MY CLOSEST FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HE DID A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

We just had Pastor Dean be the officiant at our wedding. He and his wife Donna are very polite, professional and lovely people. Since our first meeting, we were very happy to have them officiate our wedding and be a part of our wedding day. We were glad that they were available and that they took the time to get to know us before the wedding. Pastor Dean incorporated things about us (from our first meeting) into the wedding ceremony and it made for a very special and beautiful memory for everyone. Thank you Pastor Dean and Donna for sharing our special day and making it awesome and memorable!
