Best Officiant EVER!

Rev D was the best officiant we could've asked for! My now husband and I were worried about finding someone to officiate because we aren't super religious. Deanna was responsive, talked with us on the phone, eased our concerns, and even explained the marriage license process. She also sent us around 20 examples of ceremonies she's performed previously so we could create a ceremony that reflects us as a couple. There was no issue with how religious or secular the ceremony was, and she even said a blessing before our dinner reception. If I could give 6 stars I would - Rev D was the BEST and several of my wedding guests complimented how well-spoken she was! You will be in good hands working with her!

No need to search any further, Deanna is the right choice!

I do not have enough words to describe the care and love my husband and I received from Deanna.
She made us feel so comfortable during one of the most intimate and important moments of our lives. She also helped me bustle my train, and helped carry the weight of my veil at points. I immediately knew I made the right choice the moment she walked into the room. She radiated warmth and joy, and made our day truly unforgettable. I would absolutely recommend her services!

A joy to work with!

Reverend Deanna D. Lancaster was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding ceremony. Her communication style was engaging, empathetic, clear, and easygoing, which put us at ease throughout the process. The quality of her work and the value she provided were top-notch - she collaborated with us closely, was compassionate, and offered unwavering support. Reverend Lancaster even gifted us a special keepsake and took care of the marriage license, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special day. I would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a warm, professional, and truly supportive wedding officiant.

I'm so glad we found her!

Reverend Deanna was exactly what we wanted in an officiant! She listened to our story and then wrote a beautiful ceremony that felt tailored specifically to us. When it was suggested we add a handfasting ceremony just 2 months before the wedding, she helped guide us with what that entailed. At the rehearsal, she helped guide us and smooth things out. And of course, at the ceremony itself, she was flawless. Initially, I had considered asking a friend to do our ceremony so it would feel more personal, but I'm so glad I went with Reverend Deanna, as she managed to make it feel personal while still bringing experience and professionalism.

The best officiant!

Reverend Deanna was such an amazing person to work with. My now husband and I were not sure where to begin looking for an officiant, but we are so grateful we were able to find Rev D!! She was so helpful & able to curate a ceremony that suited us perfectly. She was also so responsive whenever we had any questions or concerns about the process and always made sure we understood and were happy with our ceremony. She went above and beyond on the day of the wedding to make us feel comfortable, calm, and prepared. She sent off our marriage license immediately after the ceremony and made this process a breeze. She was truly such a joy to work with, and we are beyond thankful for her services. Highly recommend booking with Reverend Deanna - you will be well taken care of and she will make sure that you have the ceremony you've always envisioned. 10/10 thank you Rev D!

Best officiant ever

Reverend D was absolutely amazing beyond words. She was so wonderful, personable, kind, open minded and always willing to talk every detail through. Extremely communicative from the start, she listened to every concern. We crafted our own vows. She let us have complete control of how we wanted the officiating to go and delivered our nondenominational service so beautifully.

She did such a stellar job everyone came up to us during reception and asked how long she's known us bc she seemed like a longtime personal friend of ours. They were surprised we hired her lol! She took our words and made them more beautiful then they ever were on paper. And added her own beautiful touches when we were writing and collaborating.

She even provided our marriage license copy placed on an evergreen themed layout in honor of our nature inspired wedding theme, along with matching coasters as a gift. I almost cried when I unwrapped them! We felt like we won the lottery with her.

Could not have asked for a better officiant!

Reverend Deanna officiated our wedding in May and provided such an amazing experience! She was such a joy to work with throughout the whole process and immediately made us feel comfortable and excited to work with her. Reverand Deanna was well prepared and showed significant experience by providing plenty of example ceremonies which made it easy to find inspiration and plan our perfect ceremony. After one phone call, she was able to put together a ceremony that was beautifully written and personalized to us. We were so impressed at how well she understood our ideas and requests and put them on paper in the perfect way. She even went above and beyond by making sure our marriage license was submitted and processed correctly as we live out of state. I can not say enough good things about our entire experience with Deanna - she gave us a perfect wedding day and brought so much kindness and joy to the entire process!

We love Rev. D!

Deanna was such a delight to work with! She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and overall wonderful. She sent us many ceremony script examples and worked with us to create the perfect script for our ceremony. She even took care of mailing in our marriage license for us!

Having Deanna as our officiant was the best choice we could have made! She is just a ray of sunshine and provided us the reassurance we needed every step of the way!
