Dan is amazing!!!

My husband and I are from Tennessee and we did a destination wedding in Colorado at Sprague Lake. We didn’t really know what to expect, but I don’t think anyone was expecting the -1 wind storm we went through!!! Dan was absolutely amazing. He is worth every penny. He followed me and Trent’s wants and wishes, very well spoken, funny, and warm hearted. Above all else, he genuinely was concerned for everyone’s safety during the wind and ice we unfortunately had. A short story to describe Dan and his character - When he came to get me out of my parent’s car he noticed I didn’t have a jacket. He was frantically asking where my jacket was. We couldn’t find it, but I had a fur shawl. That was unacceptable to Dan! He went to dad mode, and looked me dead in the eyes and said “you are absolutely not getting out of this car without a jacket!” And he went and found me a jacket 😂!! I am so glad he did or I would have froze to death!! Me, my husband, and our family loved him. So many people had all kinds of nice things to say about him after the ceremony. We will forever be indebted to him for the experience we had 🩷🩷

Wonderful Officiant!

Dan was a wonderful officiant for my small wedding. My husband and I appreciated how Dan wove in personal details about our relationship and who we are as individuals within our ceremony while keeping it meaningful and focused. It was super helpful that Dan had a call with us before the wedding to walk us through all the details of the ceremony, ask questions, and feel comfortable with our ceremony. There were many areas where personalization/customization could be done to the ceremony. Dan was very flexible and open to our requests. Overall, Dan was a fantastic officiant who provided us a wonderful & meaningful wedding ceremony. We could not be more grateful!

Ryan And Ashley’s Wedding

Dan was AWESOME! From understanding both of us and our personal lives to incorporating the memories we had with each other, he did a phenomenal job. We spent a long time to find an officiant that would express our love and tell our story the way we saw it. Dan was by far the easiest choice we made during the wedding. He made sure that we were ready and that we had fun during the ceremony. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone!

Made Our Ceremony Truly Meaningful

Dan brought so much warmth and joy to our ceremony. He helped create something that felt uniquely us. He had such a calm and reassuring presence, which meant so much, especially with our little ones there. The words he chose were meaningful and heartfelt. He truly captured the love and joy of the day as well as our story, perfectly. We are beyond grateful that he was part of such an important moment in our lives.

Dan is the best!

Out of state couple got married in RMNP. I’m so glad we had Dan as our officiant. After only email communication he made our ceremony feel personal and put us at ease shortly after meeting him just minutes before the ceremony started. Our family made comments as well on how great he did. He also saved the day in finding my wedding ring minutes before the ceremony!

Lifesaver at 11,000 ft.

Dan was a wonderful coordinator for our wedding day. He was firm when he needed to be, and easy going the rest of the time. We had several last minute changes leading up to our wedding and he was completely unbothered and flexible with each email. We had only met Dan one time during an online meeting a couple of weeks prior to our big day, and when we got to meet him in person it was as if we had known him for years. It is obvious that Dan is a master of his service and all in all, it was great sharing the day with him.

Amazing officiant!!!

Dan was amazing from the start. He helped us create a ceremony that was exactly what we wanted. He was very kind and easy to talk to. We live out of state and he made the process very easy. During the ceremony he stepped out of the way for pictures, which also made it feel like my husband and I were in our own little world together as we read our vows. After the ceremony he assisted with the marriage license to make sure everything was properly filled out. We cannot thank him enough for helping make our day as special as it was.
