About

Meet From the Heart Ceremonies Wedding Officiant Dianne Patterson. I'm passionate about weddings, and I accept only one to two weddings a month so I have plenty of time to focus on writing and editing a highly personalized ceremony for those couples who want it. For couples with an elopement or intimate ceremony in mind, I'd enjoy being part of your special day with special pricing. Elopements and intimate ceremonies start at just $360.

Why From the Heart Ceremonies?
With extensive writing and public speaking experience, I craft and present ceremonies for memorable and stress-free experiences. Religious or non-religious, simple or intricate, I work with each couple to design the service that will bring them joy on their big day. I enjoy helping couples from all communities feel the beauty and serenity they deserve during their marriage ceremony.

Here's what one couple wrote about the first draft of their ceremony: "We LOVE what you have written, the ceremony sounds SO beautiful and we can't wait to hear it in person. Thanks so much for putting so much time in!"

Services Offered
I offer prewritten ceremonies to choose from, as well as original writing for complete ceremony customization. With enthusiasm and patience, I will help you through the entire process. My officiant services are avaibable for civil union, non religious, single religion, interfaith, vow renewal and rehearsal ceremonies.

Amazing Officiant

I had the opportunity to work with Dianne as the officiant for a wedding we hosted at our venue. She was kind, respectful, professional and flexible. The bride and groom asked for some last-minute changes, and she quickly adapted and provided the beautiful ceremony the couple was looking for.

Thank you Dianne

I was planning a last-minute (3/4 weeks of planning) wedding in Albany and Dianne was available and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Everything turned out beautiful and Dianne was an amazing officiant. So kind, answered all my questions and was very professional. If you need an officiant, you should go with Dianne
