We can't begin to express how wonderful Rev. Derek was helping us with our wedding day ceremony from start to finish. From our pre-marital "education" to helping us with writing our ceremony vows and walking us through the steps. He was so easy to talk to, responsive and there for us every step of the way. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and our favorite part of our wedding! We can't recommend him enough. Thank you Reverend Derek!

Rev. Derek knocked it out of the park!
I can’t even begin to brag about what an amazing experience we had working with Rev. Derek. He was an absolute joy to work with. Not only did we enjoy having him as a part of our wedding, but our guests were so impressed with him also. He was very attentive, genuine and professional. I would recommend Rev. Derek over and over again.

Would highly recommend!
We cannot say enough great things about Rev Derek, he was absolutely amazing! We decided to plan our wedding in a short amount of time. He provided resources and knowledge so that we could put together the exact ceremony we were hoping for. His communication was excellent, and he even showed up early the day of the event to make sure everything was set. Derek made us feel so comfortable, and truly cares about your special day. We feel very blessed that he was a part of our ceremony, and would highly recommend him.
Reverend Kiewat obviously Loves performing weddings. He arrived early to the ceremony, we went through the music cues for my song, piano music, discussed the best musicians set up in the room, and the ceremony order details. He then spent extra time reviewing cues with the couple & the wedding party children to ensure everyone was comfortable with all aspects.The wedding was touching and went beautifully!

I have known Derek for years. Rest assured, knowing that he will not only be early, be professional and take care of everything, but that you will receive a one-of-a-kind ceremony service your guests will rave about!
You deserve a ceremony that is meaningful and funny. When it comes to your ceremony, besides saying "I do," hiring Rev. Kiewatt is the best decision you can make!
