Kind, Fun, and Special

Dan was remarkably kind and supportive throughout the process. He was very responsive to the vibes that we wanted to have at our ceremony: fun, warm, and a bit silly too. He guided us through the process with warmth and humor, and always made sure that the ceremony was exactly how we envisioned.

Estes Park Wedding

We were so glad we found Dan to officiate our wedding in Estes park! I appreciate how he took time to consider the small details and get to know us more to help the ceremony flow smoothly. He also went out of his way to coordinate with our colors. I would definitely recommend booking with Dan! :)

Personable Touch

Dan took the time to get to know enough about us to personalize the ceremony with our unique story while keeping it light, humorous and memorable. He did a great job at easing our wedding day jitters and kept us in the moment. He's extremely personable and highly knowledgeable when it comes to officiating a ceremony and we would highly recommend him to any of our friends.

Dan the man

Dan was wonderful! It was just us and our photographer, and it was truly as if we had our friends by our sides. Dan's communication was prompt, and he followed every little quirk we had to make our day perfectly ours! He even tucked our ceremony script in with our license and signed it thanking us! Thanks for making it easy Dan!

Recent newlyweds!

We recently got married from out of state in Colorado and Dan was referred to us by our planner. Him and his assistant were both wonderful and his script couldn’t have been better! He made it very personal based off the questionnaire we filled out. He made sure the day ran smoothly and made us and our family so comfortable the entire time. I would recommend him in a heart beat to anyone!

Magical ceremony

Dan, is one of a kinds and we are thankful we were connected with him. He was able to custom make our ceremony to what we wanted. They say some people have a natural talent. This is the case with Dan and his ceremony guidance. We are all nervous about messing up the words during our moment but he helped us, guided us, made us comfortable enough that it turned into magic. His ability to accomodate my parents native tounge (spanish) into the ceremony meant the world to me and he made it happen flawlessly. I use to run weddings and you dont need to trust me when I tell you he is your guy but have a conversation and youll know instantly he is just like we did!

Dan thank you for the pictures and the video you took while we did our own vows. Something we didn’t expect but you did it anyways!


Thank you thank you thank you!

A Rainy Elopement in Officers Gulch

Dan was absolutely amazing! He is very experienced with weddings and gave us great direction when a rain shower unexpectedly popped up. He was right—the rain passed after a little bit of waiting! He was also incredibly friendly and gave us some recommendations for Breckenridge. His script was beautifully written, and he even gave us a copy to keep. During the ceremony, he was upbeat, kind, and made everything feel so natural. Dan is an incredibly eloquent speaker, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. We are so grateful he was part of our special day!
