Rev Shirley is personable and got to know us to officiate our wedding.

Rev Shirley is very personable and got to know us before officiating our wedding. We had to make some changes to our wedding and she was very helpful in accommodating with meeting with us to review our changes. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and was supportive of our 'wedding stresses' that occurred. She felt like family to us as we said 'I do!'

Perfect fit for our ceremony

Rev. Shirley was so amazing. She took time to get to know us as a couple and was an absolute professional. We were doing something different from traditional vows and she made sure to learn what we wanted so as to make it perfect which she did. She was a complete pleasure, and I would recommend her to any couple.

High Quality, customizable, beautiful Sermon!

I really lucked out with finding Shirley MacFarland!

She gave us a Beautiful, lovely sermon for our wedding! Our 2 year old Chihuahua was our ring bearer and she did a lovely job including him in our ceremony!

Her sermon was the perfect length, it really made a big impact for me and I didn’t know that it would!

She comes with great experience, her recommendations for our unity ceremony were a great help to find one that was special to us!

She helped us out so much at our rehearsal dinner getting our group organized so that on that big day, we were ready to go!

She also helped me out by coordinating with our DJ, so the day of, the ceremony went so very smoothly!

I planned our wedding on a small budget and I’m grateful I didn’t skimp on hiring Shirley! I now understand how big of a deal it is to have this part of your ceremony done the right way!

She’ll make you feel special and you won’t regret hiring her for your big day!

I’d highly recommend her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Reverend Shirley led a very beautiful, personal and moving ceremony. She was so easy to work with and sought us out before the ceremony to give directions. Everything was very clear and ran smoothly. If you are looking for a personal, unique to you, ceremony, I highly recommend Divine Love Weddings.
