Perfect Ceremony

Steven was wonderful through the entire process. From the beginning he was organized and gave us example of several different types of ceremonies. Once we knew what we wanted he personalized the ceremony to suit us. On the day of our wedding he was an outstanding speaker. His words moved the guests and our hearts. If you need an officiant who is compassionate, friendly, and articulate he’s the man for you.

He listened to our needs and was flexible as we had to push the wedding back for personal reasons. I truly felt like he cared about us as a couple.

One of the most important decisions we made early on was hiring Steven to be our officiant. He was responsive, thorough, and so much fun to work with! He supported us and allowed us to make our ceremony a true reflection of us-- he even helped me pull off surprising my husband by including his two sons in the ceremony!! I felt so reassured knowing he was in charge of the most important part of the weekend.

Steven was very receptive and prepared to present us many options upon our first meeting. He was very accommodating and even asked how we wanted him to be dressed. We joked he was prepared for a hawaii beach wedding and a formal wedding just the same! Great guy and wonderful public speaker. Took the time to customize everything we wanted even down to the length of the ceremony.

Steven was a great officiant! He was very helpful through out the process. What we liked best was how he took the time to meet everyone in the wedding party the day of the rehearsal. This made everyone more comfortable to ask questions and be ready for actual ceremony. Everything came together perfectly!

We spoke with Steven and video chatted. He made us feel at ease because he was so friendly and knowledgable. He tailored the ceremony to fit our preferences and let us make changes. The weather the weekend of the wedding was awful, and he traveled a long way to be there. He was checking with us throughout the big day and rehearsal dinner and was a reasurring presence. In addition to that we had many guests who spoke English as second language. He was easy for them to understand which we greatly appreciate.
We are very happy with our choice to have Steven Delaney officiate our wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Steven is a pleasure to work with. With over 500 ceremonies performed, he is able to craft the perfect ceremony for each client based on their wishes, and not a formula. He is funny and honest, and I would trust him to help any of my couples on their wedding day.
