Look No Further

If you are looking for the flexibility to make your ceremony your own, and very memorable for you and your guests, look no further than Lynda Daring. When my fiancé and I initially met with her we knew we were in good hands. She took the time to get to know us, our story and what made us want to spend the rest of our lives together. She also made us feel assured that she was open to whatever we had in mind for our ceremony, while also adding her own special touches. It’s easy now a days to have a friend get ordained, but she took so much stress and uncertainty out of the ceremony planning process. She is a tremendous value for her services and we highly recommend using her for your wedding.

A beautiful and personable ceremony

LD is a special person, she has such a sweet caring soul and it showed during our ceremony. From the beginning the planning process was easy and straight forward; but also personable and unique. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable during the ceremony and she also did an amazing job engaging our families and guest. She received so many positive compliments from our guest after the ceremony. She now holds a special place in our hearts and created a ceremony we will never forget!

Nobody better

LD was fantastic to work with from the initial meeting through the big day. She truly gives it her all and takes great pride in her work. She was a great communicator. She really took the time to get to know us and it showed throughout our ceremony. She more than delivered on everything she promised in our initial conversation months before the wedding. We had guests ask us how long we knew LD and were shocked when I told them it was only a few months. They thought she was a long time family friend. She was also able to take a lot of the pressure off of us on our wedding day while also making sure we stayed in the forefront of the ceremony.

I cannot recommend LD enough. She is as good as it gets!

LD made the entire process personal and easy, from beginning to end. She made us feel so much like family that it felt like we were asking our aunt to do us a favor. Her meticulous planning kept us organized while we finalized our wedding and we’re so thankful for that. Well done, LD!

We adored L.D.!

When deciding on an officiant it was important for us to have a deeply meaningful ceremony. After some searching, we found L.D. from Daring Celebrations and Ceremonies. We loved how bubbly, engaging, and warm in nature she is. She is a beautiful story teller. When she walked us through the ceremony, we loved how she incorporated all of our wishes. Following the wedding, we had many friends and family members compliment us on the ceremony - how much they enjoyed it and how they loved L.D. We were so grateful for all of the work L.D. put in to make it the ceremony of our dreams.

Ld is fabulous!

We could not have imagined a better person to officiate our wedding than LD! She is truly magnificent and knows how to captivate an audience. When we first spoke with LD, we knew that we were in such great hands and that our ceremony would be one everyone would remember. One thing I wanted was to be sure everyone attending our wedding, whether they’ve been around since the start or if they’re a newer friend, knew our love story, and she sure delivered!

LD invites all couples to her home, cooks them a meal, and spends hours just getting to know them. We talked about everything - our families, her family, our love story, our interests, our dogs, etc. By the time we left her house, we felt like we were part of her family. We truly felt so loved and adored by her after our first meeting. And although she asked us to do a little bit of homework (secret questions about our spouse, which I LOVED because it was recited in our ceremony and was what made my husband cry), she truly does her homework! Our ceremony was so personalized, from what she shared about us to the way that we incorporated several pieces that were important to us, such as a tree planting ceremony that combined the soil from our parents’ houses and taking a moment to secretly surprise our parents by thanking them in our ceremony. There was not a dry eye in the room - LD truly has a way with words!

After our wedding, EVERYONE asked how we found our officiant and if we knew her before the planning process. Lucky for us, we know LD will be a special person in our lives for years to come. We cannot recommend LD highly enough to officiate your wedding! - Sean and Erica Taylor

Amazing Officiant

Everything with Daring Celebrations was wonderful!
Lynda Daring "LD" was our officiant. She met with us in person and we knew she was going to be a great fit! She communicated throughout the entire process and the online planning tools were extremely helpful as well when deciding what we wanted for our ceremony! There were so many options offered to make your ceremony exactly what you imagined. We wanted religious components to our ceremony which she made come to life and we had so many compliments on our officiant/ceremony.
Thank you LD!

A real dream

LD was the absolute best. Her outgoing personality made our ceremony unique and one of a kind. She took the time to meet with us more than once and get to know both of us personally, which made our ceremony our own and not replicated. LD made us feel like family with the amount of love she showed. Her humor and easy going personality put us at ease. She made all of my worries disappear, answering any and all questions I had. She made all of the small details of the ceremony perfect.
We had some many guests compliment our ceremony as well as specifically the officiant we used.
If you're looking for the perfect officiant she is it!

Absolutely Incredible

I cannot begin to express how amazing LD is!! She was an instrumental part of our special day. She took the time to get to know us personally, and made sure our ceremony was everything we wanted it to be. So much love, with just the right amount of humor mixed in. She really knows how to capture a couple and put their love into words. We had so many compliments on not just our wedding, but our officiant specifically. Since the ceremony is the most important part of your day, you want an amazing officiant and you do not need to look any further! You have definitely found her!!
