Working with Reverend Derek was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day! We were referred to Derek through our wedding planner, and knew from our first meeting with him that he was the right choice. He is a wonderful blend of humor, experience, calm, and confidence as an officiant. He is comfortable with a variety of wedding ceremony styles (we did a combination of traditional, with some Jewish elements, but overall not a strongly religious ceremony) and was receptive to everything we asked of him, and if we were not sure how to approach a topic, Derek provided us wonderful options and selections of vows and other readings and elements for the ceremony. The premarital education was also very insightful and he helped us discover many unique elements about us as individuals, how we related to each other, how we saw ourselves, and how we viewed each other, that we will be able to take with us in our married life. We enjoyed our time planning and learning with Derek, and are so grateful he was a part of our ceremony.

Derek was absolutely wonderful to deal with! He was always so fun to be in communication with and was a huge asset to making our day as great as it was!

Reverend Derek was an amazing addition to our special day. He was very personable and professional throughout the whole process and really made an effort to connect with us as a couple. Throughout the whole night of the wedding, we constantly got compliments on him and we couldn't be happier with our choice!
