Perfect for us!

Dennis was absolutely perfect for our wedding on 11/15 at Rose Bank Winery. We met with Dennis over the summer to discuss more details but were so confident that he would deliver. (And he did!!) it was one less thing to stress about and we quickly received our official Marriage License. Thank you so much!!

Guided us through the whole thing

My husband and I were a little lost in the whole process, especially since we were coming from NJ to Bucks County for our wedding. Dennis helped us a lot with the ceremony and kept the moment light and fun, exactly how we wanted

Officiated by Dennis

Dennis was a great officiant for our wedding. He worked with us on the details for our ceremony and made the legal documentation process a breeze. Dennis arrived early on our wedding day, helped us seamlessly coordinate some last minute changes, and entertained some of our guests that arrived early.

Can't Say Enough Good Things

Dennis did a fantastic job officiating our wedding. As we are from out of town, he was essential in guiding us through the marriage license application for PA. Dennis took a true interest in us to ask questions about who we are as a couple and what we wanted in our wedding ceremony so he could make our day perfect for us. He discussed with us a few times prior to our wedding day to assure that our ceremony had been planned out the way we imagined it. Dennis was the perfect officiant, mixing good humor with professionalism. We truly appreciate Dennis!

Great ceremony rain and all!

Dennis was very responsive leading up to our wedding. He helped us choose wedding readings that were meaningful to us. On the day of our wedding he ensured our ceremony script used language appropriate for a same sex couple. It was a beautiful ceremony outside in the garden met with a little rain that didn’t stop Dennis from ensuring we got through our whole ceremony.

Our Newtown Wedding

My fiancé and I found Dennis on this site. We reached out to him and we heard back from him rapidly. The made the whole process simple and easy. We met at our venue, where he had performed many weddings in the past, and discussed our ceremony. Dennis made us feel so comfortable. Our ceremony went off perfectly and much of that had to do with Dennis and his experience. We would highly recommend using Dennis if you are in his service area. We just happened to be getting married in the town he lives in.

Kind, Compassionate, Funny, Personable

Planning a wedding is stressful. Finding the right people to help you plan that wedding is even more stressful. My husband and I got lucky. Dennis O’Brien agreed to be our wedding officiant.
The ceremony itself was lovely, personal and filled with laughter -- making the day exquisitely memorable. We were so thrilled to have Dennis guide us on our exciting new life together and felt so honored and touched by his blessings.
Dennis was so warm, kind, and sincere. He made everyone involved feel comfortable and took away almost all of our nervousness before the ceremony! We can't recommend his services enough to anyone out there who is looking for the very best officiant, and a fun and meaningful experience. We will never forget Dennis and our beautiful ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
