Beautiful, personal ceremony

Reverend Doug was such a joy as our officiant. Our planning session went smoothly, and he made it feel like we could talk about anything. He got to know us as individuals and as a couple, and what we wanted in our ceremony. We were able to have it tailored to our liking, and he was always open to changes after the original session. Our ceremony was perfect, with a nice blend of tradition and uniqueness. We couldn't have been happier with how our wedding turned out and we'd highly recommend Reverend Doug for anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

A Dream Come True!

My bride and I could not have been happier with how our ceremony turned out. We had a feeling it was going to be effortless right from the start with how the Reverend’s staff was handling our questions. Their attention to detail and Rev. Doug’s patience and friendliness were enough for us to sign a contract.
We had our ceremony at Andorra Banquets and it was beautiful. Close to 70 people attended, and every single person raved on how wonderful Rev. Doug conducted our ceremony. With his blessings for us, and even a blessing for our 7 year old daughter who was our flower girl, there wasn’t a person in the hall that wasn’t on the edge of their seat. We even had friends attend that wouldn’t be considered the most ‘religious’ people, and even they said ‘we would go to every wedding this man officiates if we could’. That says enough in itself, doesn’t it?
Thank you so much Rev. Klukken for making our day so special!

My wife and I wanted a ceremony that incorporated our Catholic traditions while allowing us to put our own personal and unique touches on our special day. Rev. Doug listened and truly understood what we wanted and helped create a ceremony that represented us absolutely perfectly.

Very, Very, Happy!

Rev. Doug Klukken and his team are amazing. They helped my husband and I out tremendously. We had no idea where to stand or how to do anything involving the ceremony and Doug was very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. They also helped us make the experience more unique by asking is questions like "how did you know you loved your fiance" among other questions and later tied them into the wedding ceremony. Overall, it was a great experience!

Doug's charisma adds a unique touch to each wedding. He engages the couple and their audience through the whole ceremony.

Doug Klukken has officiated numerous weddings at our venue. He has a way of personalizing the ceremony to create a unique, special ceremony for each couple. His rehearsals always run really smoothly and make everyone feel at ease. I have listened to lots of Doug's ceremonies and still get choked up at the end.

I have worked with Rev. Doug many times in the past decade. Every time he impresses me with professional ceremonies and very often light hearted moments. Rev. Doug really seems to get to know the couple and know how to make them feel comfortable. We work really well together.
