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!

We chose Wed by Dan to officiate our wedding and couldn't have been happier with that decision. Dan communicated with us every step of the way and made the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. On the day of our wedding, he coordinated everything seamlessly and made sure our bridal party was positioned perfectly for the ceremony. His work was flawless and truly priceless—he brought such professionalism and warmth to one of the most important moments of our lives. We felt completely at ease knowing Dan had everything handled, and our guests commented on how smooth and beautiful the ceremony was.

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!
