Where to begin? It's amazing how someone you have no prior relation or connection to...a complete "stranger" can fit so beautifully and *naturally* into one of the most important days of your life. Daria was such a calming, steady, and dependable presence throughout the entire journey from the initial call where my wife and I laughed with Daria as if we were "old friends" to right before the ceremony started when she smoothed out my dress and made sure I was ready. I really appreciated how she took our wedding very seriously as if it were her own. I remember moments before the ceremony started, I saw her off to the side practicing and I could tell that our wedding was very important to her and that she TRULY wanted to do a great job for us. I not only saw but *felt* the love, honor, and joy. She even spent time with my mom before the ceremony learning how to pronounce the name of my Lithuanian grandma; that meant a lot to my mom. Every little detail. Every moment. During our vows, she was the calming nature that quietly "coached" us through even when we didn't realize it. And what she wrote for our ceremony was beautiful, impactful, and memorable. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND DARIA! Hands down. Real talk, I would chose Daria again and again and again. My wife and I (two women) come from "different worlds" with families who come from a religious background...but we wanted to do our own thing true to our story and who we are, so it was important that we found an officiant who not only respected that but could also create and deliver a ceremony rooted in love. Pure love. * * *Daria, thank you. You were the "missing" piece that we didn't know we needed but am so grateful we found. Thank you for taking our love story so seriously and delicately. Thank you for having such an open heart. Truly, we can't thank you enough. Hoping we paths cross again! -- Lani & Lani (10/10/2021)

We initially met with Daria to be the officiant for our small wedding. She was so knowledgeable and thoughtful about the whole wedding process that we also ended up asking her to be our wedding coordinator, which she kindly agreed to since we were having a small wedding. She was fantastic in both roles and made sure everything went smoothly. We ended up having some rain on our wedding day but with Daria's help our indoor ceremony turned out even better than what we could have expected from the planned outdoor ceremony. Daria is simply a wonderful human being that can make a great wedding even more special. We would highly recommend Daria as an officiant if you are considering her for your wedding!

I highly recommend Circle of Love Weddings! I did a lot of research into courthouse weddings and after running into roadblocks at every turn, found Circle of Love Weddings. Working with Daria to create our perfect wedding ceremony (August 2021) was so easy and it turned out beautifully! She was so invested in us as a couple and after meeting with us once, pulled together a ceremony that really represented who we are. She provided so much helpful guidance, was always available for questions, and I really can’t imagine working with anyone else. Highly, highly recommend.

Daria made ceremony planning feel both deeply personal and really easy! She gave us plenty of options, listened to our feedback, and wrote a wonderful ceremony that was perfect for us. Our guests loved the ceremony and we felt really comfortable in the moment.

From the very first moment, we knew Daria was the perfect officiant for our wedding. She was attentive to our desires, likes, and needs plus she asked meaningful questions that made us think about what we wanted and how the ceremony would flow. In the end, we received oodles of positive comments from guests with the typical response being "this was the best wedding ceremony I've ever heard." Daria is a kind loving spirit and we simply can't thank her - or recommend her - enough.

Daria was an absolute dream to work with! We really didn't know what we wanted our ceremony to look like, but she was incredibly patient, listened to what we did know we wanted/didn't want, and offered many suggestions and options so that we could put together our perfect combination. She was so helpful, very quick to respond to any questions, and overall just so wonderful. We highly recommend her!!

Daria came through for us late in the game after our initial wedding officiant bailed on us. We wish we would have found Daria in the first place because not only was she attentive and professional, she truly acted as a guide through this process. She gave us the confidence to go through this experience that we’ve never gone through before. She asked us questions and she used our answers to craft/write the most beautiful wedding ceremony. It turned out even better than we expected. We will absolutely be referring all of our friends and family to her. We had the best experience and can’t say enough great things about her and what she provided for us. We loved every interaction and every step of the way.

Daria really made our wedding absolutely perfect! She was a joy to work with and was easy to talk to. She guided us through each step of the process and helped us understand each portion of the ceremony. She took the half-formed ideas we had for what we wanted and brought them to life in such a beautiful way! We are so happy we chose her to work with.

Daria officiated our wedding and she was wonderful! She helped us create the perfect custom ceremony. She basically told us we could make it whatever we wanted, but also provided lots of guidance to give us a ceremony we loved! She checked in on us frequently and set up two zoom meetings (we got married during COVID!). On the day of she was a calming presence and delivered a beautiful ceremony. Daria made the most important part of our wedding so special!

After reaching out to a few different officiants who were not very responsive, we finally found Daria. Thank Goodness! She reached back out to us right away, and always communicated in a timely manner. She was so reassuring on our first call together. I was very stressed about changing the plans for our wedding due to COVID and Daria made me feel comfortable immediately. She was wonderful at explaining the process of the ceremony and vow writing to us, and even provided us with some helpful templates and examples. We were so happy with our ceremony! Our family and friends all told us that she was the perfect officiant. We agree! Thank you, Daria for helping to make our day special and for helping our love shine through!
