Doug officiated our wedding just 2 weeks ago, and it was honestly a great experience.
We initially reached out to him at the height of the pandemic and while planning from out-of-state, but Doug made it easy.
He really took the time to get to know us and incorporate our personalities into the words spoken on our wedding day.
Even on the day of, when there was 100 things going on at once, Doug always approached us calmly and with a smile to ask us our preference on something or make a suggestion.

We highly recommend Doug for anyone looking in the Spokane area.

Doug was amazing, and delivered a beautifully written ceremony!! Would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Prendergast was a great officiant. He was very professional, funny, and very attentive to the needs of the wedding couple and guests. I would highly recommend him!

Helped made our day as perfect as ever !! He has an amazing personality, super kind & sweet !!

My fiancée and I were in search of a good fit for our impromptu elopement-style wedding. We were looking for someone who was kind, down-to-earth, and generally not stuffy. Doug was that and so much more. We had an incredibly limited time frame and Doug devoted all of his time and was with us every step of the way.

Doug's initial reply to our request was very kind, personalized, and didn't feel at all cookie-cutter like so many other officiant services we had looked at. Doug wrote a ceremony script for us that was built around the event we planned out and included beautiful quotes and poems that were relevant. He was great about getting our feedback and modifying the script as we desired.

On the day of, the weather had not been kind and we had to cancel our main event about two hours before it took place. My fiancée and I didn't have a contingency plan and the wedding party was small so we decided to have a cozy wedding in our home. This is where Doug completely transformed our wedding... Doug arrived with an alternate ceremony script in the event our main plan fell through and had even packed his car with an arch, white Christmas-style lights, candles, and the works just in case. He helped set everything up in our backyard and was so friendly and kind the entire time. We had a more beautiful wedding than we could have ever imagined and the ceremony was perfect, all thanks to Doug. My family and I enjoyed every moment and Doug even offered us a personalized gift to commemorate the wedding. Wow!

Doug went way beyond our expectations in every possible way. Doug is one of the nicest, most genuine people I've ever met and my wife and I are so blessed he was able to officiate our wedding. Even though Doug came in as our officiator, he left our home as a very dear friend and kindred spirit and I feel that we all made a very special connection. It is my honor to give Doug the highest rating available.

Doug, you are the best and everyone needs to know it!

Doug did a wonderful job for our wedding . Professional at all times and provided an excellent service . Thankyou so much for making our day so special .

I did not want to leave a poor review, but unfortunately I feel as if I have to save some good people some money and time. He completely ghosted us. My fiancé and I met with Doug a few months back, discussed what would be happening at the ceremony, our traditions, and basically just how wanted the ceremony to go. After that talk, we decided we wanted to go with Doug, and paid for his service in full - $325. As to this day, our wedding is in a week, and he has still not reached out to us once. We had to hire a new officiant last second, AND make a claim with the bank to get our money back. I don’t know what happened at all, and I hope he’s safe… but BE WARY.
