    The Replacement

    We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Barry Sullivan for stepping in at the very last minute and being an absolutely incredible officiant! My very close friend called me crying & sick on Thursday (4/2) - I left the task of finding a replacement officiant up to my MOH & wedding planner/grooms sister. Within a couple of hours Barry had responded & agreed to join us! He was unable to attend in person the rehearsal on Friday (4/3) but he walked everyone through it over SPEAKER PHONE! So when I say we didn’t know each other before Saturday (4/4 WEDDING DAY) I really mean it, but you will forever be apart of our story!

    Barry and his wife made our day perfect!

    We decided to elope last minute 5 days before the wedding day. It was very simple and very intimate. Barry helped work with our last minutes decisions to elope and even helped plan the location and restaurant. INCREDIBLE experience! Thank you!

    Best officiant!

    Barry was amazing! He was helpful, kind and chose beautiful readings for our ceremony. He was attentive to what we were looking for and made us feel very comfortable. I will recommend Black Hills Casual Weddings to anyone I know getting married because we felt special and taken care of ❤️

    Barry was the best

    Ours was not the typical wedding and Barry was willing to work with us. He was so much fun and was so great to work with. Having him being our officiant was one less thing I had to stress about.
    We would highly recommend him. He was the best.

    Great Officiant!

    Barry was great to work with from start to finish and we highly recommend his services! We had a few meetings throughout the process, and being that our wedding was a destination - our conversations really helped us visualize and put our minds at ease for the wedding day timeline and space. Barry was always quick to respond and provided great feedback. Thank you so much!!

    Best Officiant out There

    Barry was the best officiant anyone could ever ask for. He was knowledgeable about the ceremony process and knew exactly where everyone needed to be. He made sure that I was happy with the ceremony and included everything we wanted to make it absolutely perfect. Barry has a wonderful personality and sense of humor that eased all the worries we had. My now husband and I left the day after the wedding for our honeymoon. Barry was more than willing to send in the official wedding license for us. Overall, Barry went above and beyond to make our day beautiful.

    Amazing officiant!

    We are so happy we hired Black Hills Casual Weddings to officiate our wedding! We met with Barry a few times over the phone and Zoom since we don’t live in the area, and he was so easy-going and patient while explaining his services and the ceremony process to us. He even shared his favorite websites and readings. At the rehearsal his humor and general ease kept things light, and he pleasantly guided us through the steps. This translated easily to the wedding day and made the ceremony beautiful and fun! We received numerous compliments on the ceremony as a whole and the beautiful words he shared with us. We were so happy with our ceremony and our day, and it had a lot to do with Barry! We would definitely recommend hiring him to officiate your wedding!

    Beyond Our Expectations!

    Barry made everything stress free and simple. He is everything you want in an officiant caring, professional, and well prepared. He went the extra distance to ensure we had the best ceremony and memories of this special day.

    The best officiant!

    Barry was amazing! The easiest officiant to work with our rowdy crew and came up with a very heartfelt message for barely knowing Kyle and myself. Definitely recommend hiring him for all your wedding needs.

    Barry is Amazing

    Barry was kind and open to any option from the start. Through the entire process he was helpful and friendly. The day of the wedding he was warm and flexible, in spite of a location issue on our end.

    If you are looking to get married, Barry was immensely helpful every step of the way and did his best to make it feel personalized and tailored to our desire for our day.

    Absolutely perfect

    Barry is the best! We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. We planned our Black Hills wedding on short notice and he was responsive and super helpful. He recommended the perfect location off the beaten path during a busy holiday weekend. We would recommend Barry to anyone.

    Great experience!

    Barry was terrific! We had wanted a simple ceremony but being new to the area, did not have any established relationships with local churches and a courthouse wedding felt impersonal. We were so excited to find Barry! He made the process very simple and painless, is very easy to get along with, has a great sense of humor, and even came out to our mountain home - 3 miles of dirt roads! - to perform our ceremony. He showed up on time, was dressed nicely, and officiated our wedding like a total pro. I’d highly recommend him to anyone.

    Our wedding at Fall River Falls, Hot Springs, South Dakota

    Barry was wonderful! He worked with us to tailor our vows and ceremony to exactly what we wanted and at the ceremony he did everything to make sure it flowed beautifully. A great guy and a true professional. We were delighted!

    Barry is the Best

    Our original wedding plans in another state were cancelled because of coronavirus travel restrictions but within one week we found Barry and held a wonderful ceremony in the Black Hills. In the rain, he hiked two miles with us and our two witnesses to share a moment we'll probably cherish more than the rescheduled reception that someday will come - couldn't think of anything that would have been better!

    Absolutely perfect!

    Barry Sullivan was above and beyond any expectations we had for an officiant! He led us through the entire process and made our wedding fun, peaceful, beautiful and exactly what we envisioned. I would highly recommend Barry as an officiant for anyone's marriage ceremony! We could not have been happier with our experience.

    Great service!!

    Barry was great!!! He is very professional and very flexible. We had to move our wedding time to an earlier time due to expected rain and Barry was very accommodating and able to make the necessary changes to meet our needs. Great service! He is very personable and easy to get a hold of if needed and answered any questions we had. Reasonably priced for the amazing service we received. He brought his own PA system, so we just used that for the ceremony music instead of hiring a DJ. Overall, I would highly recommend them for your wedding if you are planning a wedding in the Black Hills.

    Barry's organization, professionalism, and kindness helped make our wedding day amazing! Barry gave us many options from which we were able to choose readings, vows, and dedications that were meaningful to us, our family, and our guests. I would recommend Barry's services to anyone looking to create a unique and perfectly tailored wedding ceremony!

He delivered exactly what we wanted and was so polite and accommodating. I Would defiantly recommended him to someone else looking for an officiant in the black hills area.

    Barry and his wife traveled to the Badlands for our wedding. We couldn't be happier- Barry was very quick to respond to our messages and questions. He had a beautiful wedding script and was the ultimate professional. We are beyond happy with the service that Barry provided and would recommend him to everyone considering a wedding in the area. Thank you again so much!

    Barry was very professional and flexible. We planned our small wedding within two weeks time and it was perfect! Barry worked cooperatively with us to script the ceremony that reflected us. He was very responsive to emails, phone calls, and texts. It was a wonderful experience, especially since I live in another state and was not familiar with the area.

    Black Hills Casual Weddings impressed me to the point I find it difficult to review. The challenges we imposed with our ceremony are many, not getting into details we just want to say Barry made the ceremony exactly what we visioned. Black Hills Casual Weddings provided many very useful guides, samples, and reading ideas, making it easy to tailor the exact ceremony we wanted. After we determined what we wanted to do, a script of the event was created by Black Hills Casual Weddings, adjustments were made and everything was perfect. To sum it up, I quote a guest at the wedding who said, "People will want to model their casual weddings after yours because this was amazing." Again, it is hard to express how impressive the service from Black Hills Casual Weddings truly is until you experience it yourself. I highly recommend their service.

    Barry did an outstanding service for our wedding ceremony! He was very professional, and yet has a humorous sense of humor. He is open to new ideas, traditional or non-traditional ceremonies, and gives you all the advice you need during the rehearsal. We recommend him to anyone in the Black Hills area!

    Barry and Jen couldn't have made our day and more special. They were amazing. We planned to have a destination wedding at the Alex Johnson Hotel and the hotel refered them to us. We did all the planning via email and he was super responsive to what we wanted and he even tied our personal lives into our service. He even recommended a fun night club to go to after our rehearsal dinner. We had such a great experience with them we have joked about getting married again just to have him officiate. If you are getting married in the Black Hills I defiantly would look up Barry and Jen to take care of your wedding

    Barry was perfect, he had the right everything! First off, he gave us papers full of information and tips for wedding ceremony's and vows that were perfect for any couple who have questions or need a little more insight. But then we sent him what we had for how we wanted the ceremony and he made it into gold! It was truly awesome to have him as our officiant!

    Barry was awesome. We planned our wedding while out-of-state and he was very helpful. He even suggested the venue that we ultimately got married at. He was prompt, professional, and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

    We live in North Dakota and had no idea where to start or who to call to be an officiant in the South Dakota area. We contacted Barry Sullivan and started planning over the phone and email. He sent me all the information I requested plus adjusted the ceremony when I asked him for last minute changes. Our ceremony was beautiful and I thought his wording was perfect. Short and sweet ceremony but very meaningful. I would definitely recommend Barry to anyone that is looking for an officiant for their wedding.

    Barry was amazing. My wedding was at The Lodge in Deadwood SD and being from Montana I met Barry the day of my wedding. The ceremony was so comfortable and intimate my guests were shocked that I hadn't known him for years. He was helpful in giving a complete script on exactly what he would say, and very willing to adjust and make changes as needed. I couldn't have picked a better place or officiant for my special day.

    I don't even know where to begin, I can't say enough good things about Barry!! He did an amazing job with our ceremony, it was perfect!! He is very knowledgeable in what he does and has the best ideas and helped us to make the ceremony our own!! His communication in the planning process was above and beyond, he responded promptly every time! We live 6 hours away from Barry and the ceremony location and he couldn't have been more accommodating with our schedules!! He was a joy to work with, a true professional!! Thanks a million Barry for making our day beautiful!!

    I can't say enough good things about Barry Sullivan and Black Hills Casual Weddings. Barry gave me the wedding I've always wanted. He is organized, laid back, and very prompt. He personalized our wedding ceremony in to what we wanted and did exactly what we asked. Barry kept things short, sweet, and to the point. Any time I ever had a question, Barry got back to me right away! I don't live in the Black Hills and Barry still made wedding planning very EASY! Thanks again Barry for your hard work and time you were worth every penny!

    Barry Sullivan of Black Hills Casual Weddings is top notch, very accommodating, and did a terrific job on our wedding. He had great advice and worked with us in putting together a great ceremony, and he did most of the work (we just said yea or nae and added a couple of tweaks), and he fully incorporated my brides ideas into the service the first time, and then he pulled it all off with aplomb. He was even one cool cat when I had forgot my written vows and gave me the encouragement to go off the cuff. He's great. Have him do your service too... you won't regret it. I don't. Thanks Barry!

    This was a nice experience. . I would recommend Barry and Black Hills Casual Weddings to anyone. We were able to work with him via e-mail and phone. He is flexible on locations and really makes a effort to do what he can to make the ceremony a special and stress-free experience. He really makes the effort to work with you on what you want in the ceremony.

    We couldn't have been happier with Barry from Black Hills Casual Weddings. He went over and above what we would have expected from any other officiant to make our ceremony unique and personal. We knew we didn't want the same cookie-cutter elements of more traditional weddings, but were at a loss as to what, specifically, we DID want. Barry was right there with the perfect suggestions for every aspect of our ceremony, and he always made absolutely sure that everything was exactly how we wanted it. He was especially excited to learn we wanted to do a handfasting ceremony, and spent time with us (and practicing on his kids!) to get it just right. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone getting married in the Black Hills area!

    This was a wonderful experience. I had the strangest request ....a wedding at the top of Harney Peak. I called Barry with Black Hills Casual Weddings and he hiked to the top to officiate the ceremony. His wife also does photography and did that for us also at an amazing price, and the pictures were great. I would recommend Barry and Black Hills Casual Weddings to anyone. Friendly, flexible and good priced ..... They helped made my wedding day great and stress free.

    Invaluable

    We booked Barry as a last-minute solution after our original officiant plan fell through. Barry was helpful, responsive, and gave plenty of tips and advice ahead of the Big Day. During the rehearsal and the ceremony he was kind, funny, and kept everything (and everyone) organized and moving. His knowledge and experience made our wedding stress-free and enjoyable.

    Barry was wonderful to work with and made planning a snap! He was willing to work with us and was flexible when we had to go off script :) I recommend him to anyone needing an officiant in the Hills area.

    Barry was such a joy to work with! I had a few options to use for wedding officiants but from the first email correspondence he made me feel very comfortable and confidant with making my choice to go with BHCW.
    He was very knowledgable and friendly, open to any and all questions or suggestions I had no matter how big or small. In person he makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable which is absolutely wonderful. And just in case anyone would be interested, the PA system you can rent from them is a life saver, the Bluetooth works very very well and the sound quality is great. All around, would recommend to anyone.
