We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Barry Sullivan for stepping in at the very last minute and being an absolutely incredible officiant! My very close friend called me crying & sick on Thursday (4/2) - I left the task of finding a replacement officiant up to my MOH & wedding planner/grooms sister. Within a couple of hours Barry had responded & agreed to join us! He was unable to attend in person the rehearsal on Friday (4/3) but he walked everyone through it over SPEAKER PHONE! So when I say we didn’t know each other before Saturday (4/4 WEDDING DAY) I really mean it, but you will forever be apart of our story!

We decided to elope last minute 5 days before the wedding day. It was very simple and very intimate. Barry helped work with our last minutes decisions to elope and even helped plan the location and restaurant. INCREDIBLE experience! Thank you!

Everything was just what we wanted, and better than we had hoped. It was perfect and fun. Recommend wholeheartedly!!

Barry was amazing! He was helpful, kind and chose beautiful readings for our ceremony. He was attentive to what we were looking for and made us feel very comfortable. I will recommend Black Hills Casual Weddings to anyone I know getting married because we felt special and taken care of ❤️

Ours was not the typical wedding and Barry was willing to work with us. He was so much fun and was so great to work with. Having him being our officiant was one less thing I had to stress about.
We would highly recommend him. He was the best.

Barry was great to work with from start to finish and we highly recommend his services! We had a few meetings throughout the process, and being that our wedding was a destination - our conversations really helped us visualize and put our minds at ease for the wedding day timeline and space. Barry was always quick to respond and provided great feedback. Thank you so much!!

Barry was wonderful to work with, personable, and really listened to what we wanted. Our ceremony turned out lovely thanks in huge part to Barry. He was helpful in walking us through the process, I would definitely recommend to other couples.

Barry was the best officiant anyone could ever ask for. He was knowledgeable about the ceremony process and knew exactly where everyone needed to be. He made sure that I was happy with the ceremony and included everything we wanted to make it absolutely perfect. Barry has a wonderful personality and sense of humor that eased all the worries we had. My now husband and I left the day after the wedding for our honeymoon. Barry was more than willing to send in the official wedding license for us. Overall, Barry went above and beyond to make our day beautiful.

Barry did a fantastic job for our vow renewal. We planned a relatively short notice ceremony and Barry helped pull it all together for a magical and memorable event!

We are so happy we hired Black Hills Casual Weddings to officiate our wedding! We met with Barry a few times over the phone and Zoom since we don’t live in the area, and he was so easy-going and patient while explaining his services and the ceremony process to us. He even shared his favorite websites and readings. At the rehearsal his humor and general ease kept things light, and he pleasantly guided us through the steps. This translated easily to the wedding day and made the ceremony beautiful and fun! We received numerous compliments on the ceremony as a whole and the beautiful words he shared with us. We were so happy with our ceremony and our day, and it had a lot to do with Barry! We would definitely recommend hiring him to officiate your wedding!
