    Absolutely Incredible

    I cannot begin to express how amazing LD is!! She was an instrumental part of our special day. She took the time to get to know us personally, and made sure our ceremony was everything we wanted it to be. So much love, with just the right amount of humor mixed in. She really knows how to capture a couple and put their love into words. We had so many compliments on not just our wedding, but our officiant specifically. Since the ceremony is the most important part of your day, you want an amazing officiant and you do not need to look any further! You have definitely found her!!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Say WHAT?😜😆😉 Oh ma gosh, Nicole and Tony, YOU are amazing! THANK YOU! I have to say, your wedding day was perfect. I honestly do not think there was one flaw or booboo. Sometimes, insignificant things get wonky- things that nobody sees or would know about, but not your day! I adore your family. They were so sweet to me and really made me feel included, just like you two always do! The pictures are STUNNING! Thanks for sending them! I will "tickle" my files and reach out to you later to make sure you still have butterflies! Love to you, "LD" xoxo

    Highly Recommend!

    Marjorie was wonderful to work with and made our ceremony great! Daring Celebrations and Marjorie went above and beyond to get to know us as individuals and as a couple allowing our ceremony to be personalized and perfect for us!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Danielle,

    What a joyful day you and Frank created! I so loved working with you throughout the whole process and oh my gosh your PBJ ceremony was simply just too fun and so perfect for the two of you!! Danielle, you wisely trusted your intuition to wait for the rain to stop so the ceremony could take place outside and it worked!! It held off just long enough 💕
    Continue to trust your intuition and enjoy this next journey! XO Marjorie

    A real dream

    LD was the absolute best. Her outgoing personality made our ceremony unique and one of a kind. She took the time to meet with us more than once and get to know both of us personally, which made our ceremony our own and not replicated. LD made us feel like family with the amount of love she showed. Her humor and easy going personality put us at ease. She made all of my worries disappear, answering any and all questions I had. She made all of the small details of the ceremony perfect.
    We had some many guests compliment our ceremony as well as specifically the officiant we used.
    If you're looking for the perfect officiant she is it!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    I LOVE THE PICTURES OF THE RING!
    LOL! You two crack me up! And at the same time, you melt my heart. I can't thank you enough for composing such a tender and honest review. It was very easy to feel the deep love and admiration you have for each other as well as all the love from your family and guests! You are indeed blessed, my sweet friends. I appreciate you so much. Thank you for letting me in and giving me the freedom to articulate your love story. Forever...XO, "LD"

    LD made the entire process so easy and fun! She helped stay calm every step of the way, helping us with suggestions as needed. LD is the BEST!

    Faulkner - Disk Wedding 9/17/23 Rehoboth Beach, De.
    What an amazing Ceremony we had, which would not have been possible without LD. We clicked with her from our first conversation on the phone. From that point on we knew we had the perfect officiant!! Our family and friends loved our unique ceremony and LD!! Everyone asked how we found her. Thank you, LD, for a beautiful wedding ceremony. Lisa & Dave

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Hi Kids! How are my sweet, sweet newlyweds? Getting to know you was the icing on my cake! Performing your ceremony was magical. We had a little water come from the sky but that did not stop your perfect beach wedding! Thank you for this testimonial--it means so much. I appreciate that you were so into getting the details of your ceremony exactly the way you wanted. We even went a little above and beyond with great backstories and such. You are so loved and supported. Best of everything to you! XO, LD

    Amazing Officiant

    Everything with Daring Celebrations was wonderful!
    Lynda Daring "LD" was our officiant. She met with us in person and we knew she was going to be a great fit! She communicated throughout the entire process and the online planning tools were extremely helpful as well when deciding what we wanted for our ceremony! There were so many options offered to make your ceremony exactly what you imagined. We wanted religious components to our ceremony which she made come to life and we had so many compliments on our officiant/ceremony.
    Thank you LD!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    My darlings! Oh my goodness, you are the bestest! Thank you for this review. I appreciate your feedback. It was easy to see how much fun you had as I looked at you dancing at your reception--what a great time! Getting to know you was such a special gift to me. Thank you for the photos, they are awesome, but honestly, you two radiated that day. I will never forget you--you will ALWAYS be part of me. XO, "LD"

    Jennifer was absolutely wonderful!

    My husband and I got married recently and were blessed to get to work with Jennifer. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Our inquiry was quickly answered by Lynda and we were assigned Jennifer as our officiant shortly after. We were able to schedule our meetings with her quickly and she immediately made us feel comfortable. She was very friendly, had an amazing upbeat personality, and was able to answer all of our questions; she was even able to provide us with suggestions for moments within our ceremony. Jennifer was quick to respond anytime we emailed, putting my mind at ease as I started to get anxious when the wedding was getting close. She inquired with us about our story and all of the important moments within our ceremony and was able to create such a wonderful ceremony that matched us perfectly. Her presence genuinely put us both at ease leading up to and during the ceremony. Our favorite part of the ceremony was a section called “secret questions.” Jennifer reached out before the wedding and asked both of us a different question about the other. We were to respond directly to her and keep the rest secret. During the ceremony she shared the questions and our responses, where we heard them for the first time. It was such a sweet and meaningful moment. I can not say enough good things about Jennifer and our entire experience with Daring Celebrations.

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Dear Joe Squared!

    I am deeply moved by your heartfelt and glowing review. It was an absolute joy and honor to officiate your wedding and be part of such a special chapter in your lives. I truly appreciate your kind words and am delighted to hear that you and your husband had a memorable experience with Daring Celebrations and Ceremonies.

    Your enthusiasm for the "secret questions" section warms my heart. It's those intimate, personalized moments that make a ceremony truly unique and meaningful. I'm thrilled to know that it resonated with both of you and added an extra layer of depth to your ceremony.

    It was a pleasure working with both of you throughout the entire process. Your love story is beautiful, and it was my privilege to help bring it to life on your wedding day. Your happiness and comfort were of utmost importance to me, and I'm delighted to hear that you felt at ease from our very first meeting.

    I extend my heartfelt congratulations once again to you and your husband. May your journey together be filled with endless love, joy, and cherished moments. Thank you for entrusting me with your special day; it was an honor to be your wedding officiant.

    Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness.
    Jennifer

    Loved working with LD!

    LD was an absolute treat to work with! She has a well-developed process to get to know couples, which allowed her to deliver a personal and heartful ceremony. You can tell she's an expert because she asks every question, and knows the value of spending time with the couple and getting to know you through the wedding planning process. She brings a lot of warmth, charisma, and levity to the ceremony, which is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you LD for making our day special!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Hi Becky & Matt!
    Thank you for composing this incredibly thoughtful testimonial--it means so much to me and hopefully other couples searching and reading up on potential vendors. What great fun I had at your wedding. Your friends and family directly reflect your heart and personality--you selected the perfect attendants to support you. Please don't forget me...I'm only a click away! Much love and happiness! XO, LD

    Daring Celebrations made our ceremony so special

    Daring Celebrations came recommended by our venue and we could not be more pleased with our choice! Lynda Daring sent us a questionnaire about aspects we would like for our ceremony and she matched us with our officiant Marjorie. We felt a connection with Marjorie from our very first facetime call. My husband I planned our wedding from out of state, and Marjorie was incredibly communicative throughout the process. We only met a handful of times leading up to the wedding, but Marjorie always made us feel so comfortable, like we were talking to an old friend. Our friends and family thought we have known Marjorie for years! A wedding ceremony should really reflect who you are as a couple, and we truly felt how much Marjorie and Daring Celebrations cherish that process.

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Oh, my Emma and Nate,

    What kind words! It was my joy and so fun to get to know and work with you both. Your wedding was so elegant and yet so beautifully simple in some very important ways.
    I absolutely loved how you included your friends and have told so many people about it. Such a wonderful idea to honor them without all the regalia. Our being at a distance did not disrupt the ease of the rapport we developed throughout our chats.
    The two of you were so easy going and your love and respect for each other is so clear and heartwarming. It was a delight to share in your journey to marriage. Sending rich blessings and happy wishes for this upcoming holiday season as Mr. & Mrs.! Hugs, Marjorie

    Done so perfectly, made the day amazing!

    Lynda did such an amazing job with our wedding! From the beginning, she was very on the ball with solidifying everything as we wanted it, and made communication so easy! Our ceremony was very personal and relatable to us as a couple, which made the entirety of it perfect! We could recommend her time and time again, but it would never be enough!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Hi Megan & Ryan,
    I still think about our very first meeting that was virtual, being that you guys live in Indiana and I'm in Delaware! You touched my heart so deeply and I thought, Wow, this very young couple taking on some of life's biggest and broadest challenges...and doing it magnificently! BRAVO! Thank you, my friends. Thank you for working in sync with me to bring all the little things to fruition. You are an amazing team. You get it--all of it! The best of everything to you! XO, "LD"

    LD is a Magical Officiant!!

    LD was the officiant for my husband and I's wedding and having her officiate was one of the best decisions we made!! Besides being wonderful and kind, LD is truly a professional. She guided us through every step needed to curate our ceremony, our vows, how to obtain our marriage license, etc. She took the time to learn who we truly are and bring that into our ceremony as if we've known one another for years. We received SO many compliments on how unique and touching our ceremony was. It was both beautiful and FUN - we could not have asked for anything more.

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Hey, you two! LD is back again!

    Thank you once again! I really, truly feel that your ceremony went so beautifully--everyone was genuinely excited and happy and ready to do it! I got to see a couple of pics via Nick's posts, one in particular of you enjoying yourself on your honeymoon. You were beautiful and I know you both had a blast. It was wonderful working with you both and being a team together. You are a very special couple and I will always hold our time together near and dear to my heart. Much love, "LD" xo

    Amazing!!!

    Lynda was amazing from start to married! She has the ability to connect to her couples and incorporate their personalities into the ceremony. Lynda truly cares for her couples, and that is exactly what sets her apart from other officiants. Lynda is the perfect combination of professionalism and wit, and we couldn't have been happier!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Hi Britta & John,
    I can't thank you enough for your candid feedback. Your testimonial is truly valued. My hope is that other engaged couples will see your words and understand the value of the officiant just as you do! I had an absolute blast at your wedding! Leading up to the wedding and being with the two of you gave me so much great ammunition...whoops...I mean background information for me to use as I composed your ceremony. You two truly are each other's soulmate in every way. Thank you, again! xo, LD

    LD was absolutely incredible as our wedding officiant!

    LD was our officiant for our wedding in Dewey Beach DE July 2023. She was absolutely incredible! My husband and I wanted to select someone who was witty, kind, and creative for making our ceremony one of a kind. LD was extremely professional and had so much wisdom throughout the process which made us comfortable and our day stress free. My husband and I live in Australia and LD made the process smooth with FaceTime calls and staying in touch. All our guests said how they loved the ceremony and how much love they felt throughout it. We truely believe LD's warming nature and interactive approach made our day beyond special. Thank you LD, we love you!

    Kenz and Ant xo

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Hi Kenz & Ant!
    Your words---🥹🥹 I can imagine you standing in front of me in this moment and I'm all choked up! I LOVED everything we did together! I loved getting to know your mom, Kenz, and then finally Ant! Your wedding day was truly extra special on so many levels. Knowing that you AND your guests felt the love of the ceremony speaks volumes! I cannot thank you enough for this precious testimonial. I know you are coming back to the States for a visit in February. Shoot me a message and I'll ride down the beach to say hi if it's not an imposition. It's hard to believe you've been married for four months already! Stay true, and continue to be your awesome selves! Love you so much! xo, "LD"

    Amazing ceremony!

    Jennifer was wonderful in helping to create such a personalized ceremony for my husband and me. Before booking Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies, we met with Jennifer to make sure we were a good fit. Once booking with Jennifer, she scheduled a meeting with us to find our vibe, and how we wanted to proceed with the ceremony. She provided a script, leaving some details as a surprise, that we could review before wedding day. On wedding day, Jennifer helped to articulate our love story perfectly. Our guests couldn't stop raving about our ceremony and how personal it was to us! Thank you for your help on our wedding day!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Dear Sierra and Ryan,

    I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review of my services as your wedding officiant. It was an absolute honor to be a part of your special day, and your feedback truly touched my heart.

    From the moment we first connected, I knew that working with the two of you was going to be a remarkable experience. Our initial meeting was not only an opportunity for us to get acquainted but also a chance to ensure that we were a good fit. Your warmth and genuine enthusiasm for creating a personalized ceremony made it clear that we were embarking on a wonderful journey together.

    As we progressed, I appreciated the time we spent during our meetings to discover your unique vibe as a couple and to understand your vision for the ceremony. Crafting a script that resonated with your love story was a collaborative process, and it was important to me that every detail reflected your personality and the love you share. I'm delighted to hear that the script I provided, with some surprises carefully woven in, met your expectations and allowed you to feel confident and excited for the big day.

    Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words and for allowing me to be a part of your love story. I wish you a lifetime of happiness, love, and beautiful moments together as you embark on this remarkable journey as a married couple. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can assist you with in the future.

    Warmest regards,


    Jennifer Levy, Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies

    LD does not disappoint!

    We had LD (the owner - Lynda Daring) officiate our wedding on Saturday 6/10! LD is full of energy, love and joy - you can really tell that she loves what she is doing. She is super quick to respond and also very helpful in navigating the endless possibilities of a non denominational ceremony! It was super important to us and our family that while there was no religion involved, that the ceremony was still heartfelt and centered around the love that my husband and I share and LD certainly captured that! She taught us about so many different things we could include in our ceremony that we had never heard of before and we were truly able to create our own perfect ceremony mix and match style with her packets. Her "secret sauce" had most of our guests in tears and we had several people tell us that it was the best ceremony that they had ever attended. We met with LD once in person prior to the wedding and many of our guests assumed that she was a long time family friend due to the personal ceremony. Her personality is infectious so if you're looking for someone low key she may not be your person but if you are looking for someone who genuinely loves what they're doing and will love you like family too, I highly recommend her!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Here come my tears!
    Oh, Annie & Ben -- I've been in my "grief mode" since your wedding day because our regular chats and emails, for the most part, are over, and that always saddens me. Thank you, sweet friends, for these very sweet words that I know (knowing you as I do) come directly from your heart. I stayed for a bit after to quench my thirst with my standard club soda and lime, and as I stood and watched you both, I felt like the mama bear that had let her babies go into the woods for the first time. You two were BEAMING! I was so happy and proud of you. The love and energy at your wedding were infectious! Annie, you were stunning! Ben, you could not have glowed anymore--so handsome! I drove home with a full heart, knowing that you would reach far and wide as you grew together and spread your wings. You made "me" grow too. Thank you. Your family and friends were also wonderful and so nice to me. I will never, ever forget you. Lots of love, xo "LD" xo

    Fantastic!

    We had Jennifer Levy as our officiant. She was friendly and willing to answer any questions that we had. Always responsive to emails sent. The ceremoney was beautifully written and the secret questions were something we were very glad we did. For our ceremony- we wanted something more personal than a justice of the peace style but we were not getting married in a church setting- Jennifer delivered! Highly recommend her and this company.

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Cassie and Brad,

    Thank you for the kind words! Working with you both was such a joy! Your easy going way combined with your contagious love for one another made this a really fun wedding to plan!

    Wishing you many many happy years together!

    Best,
    Jennifer

    LD made our wedding ceremony better than we could have imagined!

    LD truly made our ceremony so special. I told her that wedding ceremonies were my least favorite part of weddings but she totally changed my opinion! She made the ceremony the perfect length of time, romantic, funny, and filled the room with so much love. All of our guests said their favorite part of the wedding was the ceremony! She was incredible to work with and was so responsive. She made the whole experience such a breeze! LD IS THE BEST!!!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Casey & DJ,
    You are ADORABLE! Thank you! Wow, that's a pretty big turnaround to change your mind; I feel very honored. So, you see? Ceremonies can be full of life and love, and humor. The goal is for guests to laugh and cry in all the right spots. I had a blast with you, and I cannot thank you enough! Let's toast to "THE WILSONS!" Much Love, "LD" xoxo

    LD gave us the most magical wedding ceremony we could have imagined!

    Working with LD was one of the easiest wedding decisions we had to make. From the initial zoom meeting, we could feel her passion in creating the most authentic, personal ceremony possible for my husband and I. We can’t imagine not having LD as our officiant, and the ceremony was honestly the wedding of our dreams! All of our family and friends have said how beautiful the ceremony was, and how incredible LD was! They all said it seemed as though we knew each other for years, and were surprised to hear that we had only known each other for several months through the planning process. It just goes to show how incredible LD is. Sometimes you meet people and just feel that connection, that special something, and she has it! From the little moments through planning, and just feeling like we were married by someone who really understand us as a couple and could see us for who we were, it’s been an incredible road together! LD was able to capture our relationship so well through her beautiful words, and it was MAGIC! The special touches meant so much, especially the handfasting and the secret question, which was our favorite! LD, you just got us SO WELL and there aren’t enough words to share our gratitude and love we feel towards you and our ceremony!

    What's going on my sweets? I'm so happy to read your heartfelt words! THANK YOU!!

    Sarah, it's really cool to see you using your new last name. How does it feel?

    I knew I was in for one of the greatest experiences of my career when the three of us met for dinner. That was out of this world! I haven't laughed that hard and for as long as we did that night. Didn't it feel like we had known each other for years? And then, when wedding time rolled around, it was like a reunion! I adore you. You know that. Special--rare--authentic--and crazy fun! Here's to the Mr. & Mrs. that kept me in tears laughing and crying from the heart! Love you! xo, "LD"

    Exceptional!!

    LD listened to every detail that we wanted our wedding to be. She made our big day everything that we wanted and more. LD made our guests feel welcomed and loved.

    A Fundamental Part of Day

    My now husband and I were referred LD by our venue Greenville Country Club. Our wedding date was coming up quickly and finding an officiant had completely slipped our minds. We reached out to two different officiants, including LD and she was the fastest to get back to us. We scheduled a zoom call with her and after ending the call we knew we wanted to work with her. Meeting LD for the first time was like meeting an old friend. She asked all the right questions in order to better get to know us, our relationship and what was important to us during the ceremony. We met again in person to finalize all of the details and LD was so wonderful to help us decide the aspects we were unsure of. She made us feel incredibly supported and heard throughout the entire process! Heck, she was the first person to wish us a "Happy Anniversary" too! Everyone told us after our wedding that the ceremony was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been to. They raved about LD and her knowledge of us and how beautifully she spoke. We HIGHLY recommend using LD! She truly does bring so much love into what she does. She will cater your ceremony to be exactly what you want. She is a true professional and makes the process so much easier. We had no fears with using LD. Not only did she help create the best day of our lives, but we know we have gained a friendship for life as well.

    Hey, you two!
    THANK YOU! Wows-ville! You composed a beautiful summary and I'm so appreciative of your words. Your video was amazing and I loved the parts you captured--stunning! I truly believe that when people come together in this world it's on purpose. Regardless if it is romantic, friendship, forever, or temporary. I feel that we will be seeing each other again. Thanks for being so forthcoming, gracious, and all in! Love you 4-E-V-E-R! xo, "LD" xoxo

    Phenomenal!!

    We could not have picked a better officiant than Lynda for our wedding. This was a process!! She and her husband met with us for dinner, helped plan our ceremony and add in special touches for the day. She was constantly in communication, very professional and became like a member of the family. I cannot recommend her more highly. My husband and I were so impressed with everything from start to finish.

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Hey, you two wild & crazy kids! Oh my gosh, did we have a blast or what? I cannot thank YOU enough for providing me with riveting content about you as a couple and individuals. You are entirely perfect for each other. I appreciate your kind testimony so much; it truly means a lot and provides me with feedback as well as other couples too! Embrace it all! Love, "LD" xo

    The Best Officiant Around

    Can't say enough great things about LD and how special she made our wedding day! From our first initial messages, the virtual consult, meeting in person, consistent check ins through the process, all the way through to our wedding day! LD helped us make our ceremony as personal as we wanted it to be and even helped guide us through a lot of our decisions around our ceremony. She provided us with so many resources and examples, feedback, and even stories from prior experiences. Our ceremony was so memorable, and our guests bring it up even almost a year later. We are so grateful for LD for making the ceremony planning process stress-free, easy, and very much "us"!! Can't recommend her enough!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Hi Katie & Michael,
    Aw...you are incredibly sweet! You already know how much I adore you from the very beginning. The evening of your wedding ceremony was magical and I became as emotional as all of you! Shew! Thank you so much---for choosing me---and for sending this heartfelt testimonial. It means the world. I want to see baby pictures ASAP! And...please send me your new address in RI! I love you to the moon and back! XO, "LD"

    LD is truly amazing!

    I don't know how to put into words how incredible LD is! Hire her!! You won't regret it!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Ashana & Bryant,
    I must say, this is the most direct feedback ever -- LOL! I LOVE IT almost as much as I love you! For starters, THANK YOU for this submitting this review on my behalf! And thank you for accepting my invitation to come to my house for dinner and hang out with me. In moments like that, I get the opportunity to go deep and get to know my couples. My darlings, your ceremony was a success because we took the time to get to know one another. Some of your guests approached me afterward and said they loved it and had never experienced anything like it. How's that for WORDS? Ha Ha! Everything about your big day was flawless, including you and your precious baby girl, Blayke. Much happiness to you! Love Always, "LD" xo

    Could not have asked for a better Officiant

    Lynda was perfect!! She helped tell our story in such a beautiful way and we will always be grateful to her for making our wedding as wonderful as we could have wished.

    I really loved working with you. I felt as though we easily related to one another and that made getting to know you easy. Thank you for sharing your feedback for others to see. I so appreciate it! Your wedding will always be special to me as the focus was on just the two of you standing before your guests. BRAVO! Enjoy each other to the fullest! Best of everything to you!

    LD is wonderful!!

    It was absolute pleasure of my life having "LD" of Daring Celebrations be our officiant for our wedding on 11.12.22 at Rosewood Farms! It was an absolute dream! She handcrafted the perfect ceremony for us. We met months before and really got know LD on a personal level. She is so friendly, inviting and very easy to talk to. She made us feel very comfortable. You could tell she really cared about us and wanted to individualize our ceremony. Her warm demeanor and way with words makes her the perfect officiant! Several people at our wedding asked who she was and were in awe! I highly recommend hiring LD and her team at Daring Celebrations! You will not be disappointed!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Hi Katie & Jared,
    Aw, my sweet-sweet couple, you are so wonderful. Thank you for this report card. This means more than you know. For me, it is the feedback that lets me know I'm still on the right track. For others, reading reviews and searching for their officiant it provides specific examples that may help with their decision. The enthusiasm you and Jared demonstrated was contagious to me, your wedding party, and your guests. You had a grand celebration that showed how much you love each other. Please keep me updated now and again because I genuinely want to know WHAT'S GOING ON, hee-hee. God Bless You! Say hello to your parents on both sides, and let them know how much I enjoyed meeting them. Peace & Love, "LD"

    LD MADE our ceremony!!

    I cannot recommend Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies enough!! My husband and I were so fortunate to work with LD herself :). Within the first couple moments of our first phone call together, I felt an immediate connection with LD and trusted that we could invest all of our faith in her, and we are SO thankful that we did.

    LD was an absolute joy to work with. She was clearly enthusiastic to get to know us and really made us feel so seen and cared for. Her communication was prompt, thorough, and stellar. Our ceremony itself was pure magic. My husband and I had the most warming experience, and we received several comments from staff and guests on how special the ceremony was. LD listened to us and delivered in a way that celebrated our uniqueness.

    If you want the unforgettable ceremony that you and your spouse deserve, you are in the right hands!!

    Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies's reply:

    Hey you two!
    Alyssa and Jared, my sweetie-pies! Thank you for giving me your honest feedback by way of this review. We definitely worked together quickly and authentically to achieve your desired results. I’m so pleased you enjoyed my perspective of your love story. You are such loving and wholesome folks—my kind of peeps! God bless you this Christmas season. Drop me a note whenever the spirit moves you! Be blessed! Much love, “LD”
