Cindy S. Sent on 12/29/2019Jim is now part of our family history
Rev. DeKornfeld officiated our wedding exactly the way we wanted. He understood exactly what we needed to be incorporated into our special day. We not only had our best friends attend our wedding, but Jim became a part of our family in his own special way. His ability to understand and know us with the short amount of time I put on him is uncanny.Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
You are so sweet. The story that the two of you have made my job easy. Best wishes for a long and happy marriage.

Exceptional
We were married by Jim in May 2023 and could not have had a better experience. He took the time getting to know us, revised our ceremony until it was absolutely everything we wanted it to be. He was available for our rehearsal dinner, was able to answer all our questions and walked us through what we needed to know. The Wedding Day came, and everything was incredibly professional and personal to us, we had many guests complimenting how beautiful and heartfelt the ceremony was, it was all thanks to Jim!Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
It is incredibly satisfying to work with couples like the two of you.
Best wishes for many years to come. Hopefully you’ll give me a call in 5 years or so for your Renewal of Vows ceremony.
Take care of each other,
Jim -

Small Intimate Wedding Ceremony
Jim was so wonderful to work with. He agreed to help us out last minute and we are so grateful. He met with us and after talking with him he promptly put together a personal and sincere ceremony. He was flexible and prompt, we really could not have had our day go well without him. He was so personable and truly listened to what we wanted in our ceremony. I would highly recommend for any type of ceremony you may want.Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
You two are such a wonderful couple. Best wishes for many happy years together. Having Mike as co-officiate was just great.

Rev. DeKornfeld not only helped us prepare a ceremony that was meaningful to us, but he also adapted that ceremony as our plans changed to the format of a virtual wedding. It was everything we wanted in a ceremony and provided a chance to share our story with our family that watched from across the country. We are so thankful for Jim's patience and quick communication with us during this uncertain time.Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
Thanks so much for your kind words. You two were the super stars being able to adjust your plans and your ceremony to have so many of your friends and family participate even though they could not attend in person. I'll always remember your ceremony with great fondness. -

Jim made my husband and I's wedding day on 10/09/2021 at The Evermore in Apex NC so incredibly special. He wrote the perfect ceremony for us and we could not have asked for a better way to start our marriage. We would 100% recommend Jim to anyone looking for a thoughtful officiant who will make your big day even better! Thank you Jim!!Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
You are so kind. Thanks for allowing me to play the part I was able to play on your wedding day. You two are wonderful. -

Jim is the best!
All I asked of him was to make the ceremony lighthearted and fun. He went above and beyond to make the ceremony exactly what I wanted and was great at communicating and making sure we had plenty of time to look over everything and to add any input on the speech. He was so funny and I couldn't stop smiling the entire ceremony. He is a man that wears many hats because he also had such sweet words added in that described exactly how I was feeling so perfectly and made sure that my dad who passed away was mentioned in such a beautiful way! Best decision we made! Oh, not to mention he drove from 1 hour away as well! Absolutely so happy! Thank you so much Jim! Definitely recommend 100 percent :)Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
Jessica. you are way too kind. You and Jesse made my job very easy and everyone I've told about the "Flower Dude" has cracked up.
I hope to see you in about 5 years for a renewal of vows ceremony, until then.,
Best wishes,

Duane B. Sent on 08/12/2021A wedding ceremony we will cherish forever.
Absolutely could not have picked a better individual than Jim DeKornfeld to officiate our wedding ceremony. His sincere and professional approach toward planning and officiating was incredible. We appreciated his sincerity and motivation to get to know both of us on a personal level and to discover the path that our relationship had taken from first introduction to the decision to marry. He personalized our ceremony and gave us an event that we will cherish forever.Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
Thanks for your kind words. Kind of surprised that it took you two only 20 odd years of living together to finally tie the knot, but I am delighted that I was the one to officiate for you. Your story is great and being part of your ceremony was a blast!
Looking forward to seeing you soon.

My fiancé and I were going back on forth on if we "needed" an officiant or if we should just get a friend to do it. Trust me when I say, go ahead and book the professional, it makes all the difference. Jim did an amazing job. He was very prompt in responding to emails and phone calls. We spoke with Jim and he had us fill out a questionnaire. From our answers, he developed a ceremony draft. We would send it back and forth with edits until ultimately it became our final ceremony. The final product was literally perfect. It captured all of our emotions and fit who my fiancé and I were as individuals and as a couple. The way Jim delivered the speech, it seemed as if he had known us for years and watched us develop our relationship into love. Guests would come up to us at the reception and ask if Jim was a family friend because the ceremony was so personal and touching. Thank you Jim for the incredible job. You made us laugh, you made us cry, you brought out the emotions in us and made our ceremony the best part of our wedding.Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
It’s incredibly satisfying to take the information I learn from the couple to create the first draft of the ceremony. It’s even more satisfying when the couple’s feedback and editing vastly improve the first draft. We went back and forth several times and I believe your ceremony was one of the best I’ve had the pleasure to present. Thanks so much for allowing me to play the part I had on your wedding day.
Best wishes for many happy years together.

Hiring Jim was the least stressful part of our wedding. He was very accommodating, understanding, arrived on time, and was not afraid of horses. Thanks for the wonderful ceremony Jim!Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
In the 400 or so weddings I’ve officiated yours was the first and only to have the bride and groom arrive on horseback. How wonderful is that?
Best wishes for many happy years together.

A perfect ceremony
Jim created a wonderful ceremony for us and was very open and flexible to any changes and ideas we asked to make our ceremony perfect for us. He recommended a sand ceremony to symbolically create our new family and it was a beautiful and meaningful part of our day. He was kind, easy to work with and prompt. I would recommend him to anyone!Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
Thanks so much for your kind words.
I’m so happy to have been asked to officiate for you and doubly happy that the rain held off long enough to have the ceremony on the tee box at Pinehurst #2.
It was perfect. -

Amanda Sent on 01/02/2021Jim Saved the Day!!
We are a Covid couple and were originally to be married by a friend of ours who lives in NY. 3 weeks prior to our wedding date, our friend had to tell us he could no longer attend nor perform our wedding due to restrictions. We scrambled to find a Minister at our late date and came across Jim. The first conversation I had with Jim I knew he was perfect for our ceremony. An open minded Christian who truly loves what he does and it shows!! Jim was able to get to know my husband and I over the following 3 weeks and created a ceremony that was personal, funny and touching. We recommend Jim to anyone in the Pinehurst/Southern Pines area!!!Daybreak Ceremonies's reply:
As discussed earlier, I wish you clear skies, smooth air, and many wonderful years together.
Thanks so much for allowing me to play the part I had on your wedding day.
