The Perfect Day!
Steve’s experience truly shows. He brings unique touches and thoughtful additions that make the ceremony even more personal and memorable. He also provided helpful guidance in the lead-up to the wedding, ensuring that every detail was organized and everyone felt comfortable and prepared.
On the big day, Steve arrived early, coordinated seamlessly with our vendors, and delivered a ceremony that was the perfect balance of humor, sincerity, and heart. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Thank you, Steve, for helping make our day so special!
Don’t think twice! Hire Steve!!!
Truly A Gift
I will never forget when I arrived at our wedding rehearsal and being heartbroken about news I just received (literally 10 minutes prior) about my oldest brother. Steven saw the state I was in and just paused the day, gave me some compassionate words and a hug - all I really needed! He worked beautifully with the vendors and my dear friend who was coordinating the rehearsal to keep things on track and me and my fiancé worry free. The rehearsal went great with many thanks to his efforts. And the wedding ceremony… just fantastic!! His services gave us the exact experience we envisioned.
My husband describes him as one of the guys. He wasn’t just our officiant but was part of our wedding party! We’re so grateful to have had the pleasure to have Steven M. Dembow be the person to join me and my husband in matrimony.
What a ride!!!
He took the time to understand our story, our values, and what we hoped our ceremony would reflect. The result was a beautifully personalized experience that felt intimate, authentic, and truly ours.
Thank you, Steven, for being such a special part of our journey. We will always have you in our hearts and immense laughter from that day.

Like a family friend
On the wedding morning, I sent him a message my father had written from abroad, and Steven included his words in the ceremony in the most touching way. He even spoke a few words in Spanish to my relatives in Peru watching via livestream, making them feel included despite the distance.
He also went above and beyond by mailing us our handwritten vows so we could keep them forever. Warm, professional, creative, and with a great sense of humor, Steven made our ceremony unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend him enough!

Steven Is The Best!
He went above and beyond from the start, meeting with us ahead of time to ease our nerves and collaborate on the ceremony script. During the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, he kept everyone in high spirits and made the process feel smooth and enjoyable.
When a last-minute hiccup caused the DJ to arrive late, Steven helped keep us calm and focused as we greeted guests and prepared for the big moment. Many of our friends and family commented on how much they loved the ceremony. His warmth, sentimentality, and eloquence were true highlights of the day.
We would highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for an officiant in the New Hampshire area!
Thank you Steven
Thanks Steven!
