Could not have asked for anything more!!
Dennis and his wife Donna handled the officiant tasks from day one for us with the utmost professionalism. Tonya and I are very grateful for all of the communication and the help creating the sermon for our ceremony prior to our wedding day. Dennis went above and beyond what one would expect.
His approach and delivery of our vows and our ceremony was top notch and exactly what Tonya and I wanted, and the Love Story was so special!! The "Sushi Sweethearts" thank you so much!!Dennis and his wife Donna handled the officiant tasks from day one for us with the utmost professionalism.

Elopement ceremony
Dennis and his wife are the sweetest ever! We did their small elopement ceremony and everything went so smoothly. Dennis is very responsive, has a beautiful ceremony prepared and his wife was one of our witnesses. He also turns the marriage certificate in right away! We are so happy we met them and they were a part of our special day!Dennis and his wife are the sweetest ever! We did their small elopement ceremony and everything went so smoothly.

Chaplain Dennis was fantastic
Chaplain Dennis and Donna were incredibly helpful along the way to help us organize and plan for our perfect wedding. Their experience was clear as they had several helpful scripts that they allowed us to modify to fit our wedding and make it perfect. Dennis was fantastic in leading our wedding and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out.Chaplain Dennis and Donna were incredibly helpful along the way to help us organize and plan for our perfect wedding.

Incredibly kind, cool guy to work with, gets to know you well
What a great guy to work with and someone that absolutely puts in the work to get to know you to represent you and your partner as well as possible. He and his wife are fantastic to work with, even in the very odd time that we got married, during the pandemic, which he worked to remain involved while being safe. We cannot speak more highly of them.What a great guy to work with and someone that absolutely puts in the work to get to know you to represent you and your partner as well as possible.

A truly personalized experience
Dennis was the officiant at my best friend's wedding several years ago, so when the time came to choose someone for our own, being super impressed my friends' ceremony, my husband and I both agreed that he was a perfect fit for us. I feel like it's a bit cliché to refer to yourself as a "nontraditional" couple in this day and age, but my partner & I knew ourselves well enough to be confident that your standard wedding ceremony wasn't going to cut it for us. Dennis was EXTREMELY flexible and beyond helpful throughout the entire experience. Living in Washington DC, and given this was during Covid-19, he agreed to chat with us via Skype multiple times to plan and discuss our ceremony. He and his wife, Donna, provided lots of examples of things we might want to consider (which was very helpful, because given everything else you have to decide during a wedding, we were feeling quite overwhelmed, not to mention everything with the pandemic), and gave us plenty of encouragement to embrace what WE wanted - - it's OUR day after all. We had a few special requests for our ceremony as well, including a spooky adapting of our vows to Plan 9 from Outer Space, and the groom pulling out the ring on a fake finger (I feel like at this point I should clarify it was a Halloween wedding!) He was game for all our suggestions and rolled with anything we had in mind, even helping to workshop our vows, which we wrote ourselves. On a personal note, he was just kind and friendly, straight out of the gate, and every time we spoke with him, it put my husband and I both at ease, which was rare for our wedding planning experience. He took lots of time to get to know us both, and not only did it reflect beautifully in our ceremony, but also in our personal relationship with Dennis and Donna. I honestly couldn't have enough good things to say about his time as our officiant, and would recommend him to anyone, "traditional" or not. You couldn't ask for a more amiable and chill person to work with on your special day.Dennis was the officiant at my best friend's wedding several years ago, so when the time came to choose someone for our own, being super impressed my friends' ceremony, my husband and I both agreed that he was a perfect fit for us.

Great ceremony with thoughtful personalization
Dennis was phenomenal! He was accommodating to our needs, and helped with any questions we had about the wedding process. We had a few brief virtual meetings and from those he created a unique ceremony that was tailored to our individual personalities. I would definitely recommend him.Dennis was phenomenal!

Dennis officiated the perfect ceremony for us on a beautiful Asheville farm wedding.
Dennis officiated the perfect ceremony for us on a beautiful Asheville farm wedding. Because my wedding was postponed, he and Donna worked with me over the course of 2 years to plan and then modify the ceremony as our plans changed. He was so flexible in incorporating elements that were most important to us, and also surprised us with thoughtful words and humor. I would happily recommend him to any couple!Dennis officiated the perfect ceremony for us on a beautiful Asheville farm wedding.

Friendly and flexible
Chaplain Dennis and his wife were very friendly and accommodating. We were from out of state and therefore couldn't meet with them in person before the ceremony but we met via skype and worked through all of the details. We had a very small and untraditional wedding. They had no problems adjusting things to work for us. We wanted a somewhat casual but religious ceremony and Dennis provided just enough of each. It was a beautiful and stress free wedding.Chaplain Dennis and his wife were very friendly and accommodating.

Dennis is perfect for your wedding officiant needs! Dennis and his wife, Donna, work as a team and they are responsive, kind, and open to creating a ceremony just for you. My husband comes from a religious background whereas I do not. They created a "light Christian" wedding ceremony for us and it was perfect. Not only did they customize the ceremony for us but added their own personal touch based on the information we sent to them about how and why we fell in love. They truly will make your ceremony one to remember, we highly recommend their services for your wedding/event.Dennis is perfect for your wedding officiant needs!

Words cannot even begin to express just how blessed we were to be able to work with Chaplain Dennis and his wife, Donna. I spent hours searching the internet for an officiant that was not only affordable, but someone that I felt comfortable with upon emailing back and forth and a phone call. It wasn’t until I stumbled upon Chaplain Dennis and Donna that I had that feeling. Not only were they kind, they made us feel loved, like family. With planning a destination wedding, I was hesitant about booking them having only talked with them via email and phone. However, the moment we met them and sat down to talk, I was so happy I decided to work with them (as was my fiancé). Donna does more of the business aspect of things such as handling emails, contracts, payments, etc. Chaplain Dennis does the ceremony things. They were everything we could have asked for- quick to respond, organized, helpful, professional, affordable, and so flexible. Dennis worked with my fiancé and I to come up with exactly what we wanted and we are so happy with the outcome.
The day of our wedding it rained up until ten minutes after the ceremony was to start (it was set to be outside). Chaplain Dennis came to me a little before and asked me what I wanted to do as far as moving it under cover or keeping it how we planned. I told him I really wanted to keep it like we had planned and he told me that’s what we would do. He had no problem standing in the rain. Lucky for us, the rain stopped shortly after we made that decision and everything was perfect! He delivered the ceremony with poise and a few good jokes that he threw in based off of questionnaires that he had us fill out. He also made sure it was serious when it needed to be and full of love. It really was beautiful.
I feel like we gained family after working with Chaplain Dennis and his wife. We really are so grateful for them and recommend them to anyone getting married in the area.

Chaplain Dennis was absolutely wonderful. We wanted a non-religious outdoor ceremony with just our closest friends. Chaplain Dennis offered several options for our ceremony readings and with his help we were able to put together the perfect vows. He traveled to Lake Lure, NC for the ceremony, and arrived early with his wife; together they were a great help to the Groom and the rest of our Do It Yourself wedding party.Chaplain Dennis was absolutely wonderful.
