Working with Justin to officiate a client’s wedding was an absolute pleasure. From the initial inquiry to the planning process and the wedding day itself, everything was seamless. He was incredibly responsive, quick to answer all our messages, and patient as we navigated last-minute changes and delays on the big day. We truly appreciated his professionalism and calm demeanor throughout. We’ll definitely be recommending Justin to all our future clients in need of an officiant!

We’ve known Bishop DbGFlaherty for over 15 years, and when it came time to plan our same-sex wedding in 2015, there was no one else we wanted to officiate. The ceremony was everything we could have dreamed of—personal, individual, and overflowing with love. Bishop DbGFlaherty has always been a source of support, guidance, and friendship in our lives, so it felt so special to have him not only officiate but help create a ceremony that felt deeply connected to who we are as a couple. He took the time to understand our relationship and made sure that every moment reflected our love for each other. The ceremony was filled with meaning, compassion, and warmth, making it truly unforgettable. It was more than just a wedding—it was a celebration of love, and we will forever cherish the way Bishop DbGFlaherty made our day feel so personal and filled with joy. Theresa and Lori Morris-Platte

We had the absolute pleasure of having Randy Lioz as our wedding officiant, and he was truly amazing! From the very beginning, Randy went above and beyond to make our ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and completely us. He took the time to get to know us before the big day and even reached out to some of our family and friends to learn more about who we are as people. Hearing those thoughtful details woven into our ceremony was such a special and emotional moment — it made everything feel so genuine and unique to our story. Randy also shared a few versions of the ceremony in advance and encouraged us to collaborate and make edits, which meant so much to us. It really felt like a team effort, and we appreciated his flexibility and care in making sure everything reflected our personalities and values. On the day of the wedding, Randy was incredible — he delivered the ceremony beautifully in both English and Spanish, allowing all of our guests to feel included and connected. His charisma, warmth, and calm presence instantly put us at ease and made the entire experience unforgettable. We are so grateful to have had Randy as part of our day. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, genuine, and talented officiant!

My partner and I were SO stressed while planning our wedding. Dr. Matthews showed us how to show up for one another and be real but also have fun! This was one of the best experiences we shared together so far. We are glad we signed up for your first year package. We learned a lot about ourselves. Thanks again.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Matt Sims on wedding ceremonies, and he is truly one of the best officiants I’ve ever collaborated with. Matt isn’t just friendly — he’s a natural leader and genuinely a master of the ceremony. He brings such a calm, warm presence to the wedding day, and you can immediately tell how comfortable he makes the couple and the guests feel. From a videographer’s perspective, Matt is a dream to work with. He communicates clearly, coordinates effortlessly, and understands the flow of a ceremony in a way that makes everything smoother for all vendors involved. Every time we’ve worked together, the ceremony has run beautifully, and his thoughtful pacing and delivery translate incredibly well on camera. If you’re looking for someone who brings professionalism, heart, and an exceptional sense of timing to your wedding ceremony, Matt is the one. Highly recommend working with him!

Rev. Anthony Johnson was amazing in making our day exactly what we wanted. He listened to our wants and gave us some really good suggestions. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to have the ceremony of your dreams!

We worked with Jeff as our officiant for our DC wedding in November 2024. He was very thoughtful, prepared, and supportive, and he offered excellent resources to help us design our wedding ceremony and draft tailored vows that reflected our values. We also worked with Jeff for premarital counseling sessions, which we enjoyed as a couple and would highly recommend. Jeff's experience as a counselor and working with a lot of couples over time really shows in the sessions. He really makes the time to get to know you as a couple and provides excellent tools and guidance for couples to use for communication and nurturing a solid foundation. We really enjoyed working with Jeff and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant.

Rabbi Bass was an incredible person to work with throughout our wedding planning experience! From the beginning she was so welcoming, and encouraged my husband (who is not Jewish) and I to meet with her in person so that we could all get to know one another. Each meeting session we focused on different aspects of relationship building between my husband and I, in preparation for the ceremony that we decided on and built together. She was so open to what we wanted to do the day of the wedding, and patient in explaining and exploring that together. I really respect Rabbi Bass a lot, and appreciate her candor and warmth that shines through. She made our ceremony very special for us and our guests, and I would highly recommend her!

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! From our very first conversation, Rev. Dr. Robert L. Schenck was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony meaningful and personal. He took the time to get to know our story, our values, and what mattered most to us, and they crafted a ceremony that felt truly us — heartfelt, joyful, and unforgettable. On the day of the wedding, Rev. Dr. Robert L. Schenck brought such a calm and positive energy that helped ease our nerves and set the perfect tone for the celebration. So many of our guests told us afterward how beautiful and personal the ceremony was — and we couldn’t agree more. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding ceremony special, we wholeheartedly recommend Rev. Dr. Robert L. Schenck. We’re so grateful to have had him as part of our day!
