Didier was the best officiant we could have asked for!! What he wrote for our ceremony had so much thought and care put into it! It was the most beautiful ceremony he went so above and beyond for us! I could not recommend him enough!! Would love to have him there when we renew our vows 10-20 years from now!! -

Didier did such a great job with our ceremony. Ours was somewhat of a last minute affair without a lot of time to plan. Didier was responsive when we first reached out and continued to be so throughout the process. He worked with us to develop a ceremony that was meaningful and lovely. We were concerned that because we didn't know him, it would come off as contrived and rehearsed but Didier is a natural and seems to legitimately care about what he's doing. He was a gentle presence who seemed to want the best for us. I believe Didier believes deeply in the bond of marriage. Our ceremony was very special and Didier was a huge part of that. We would highly recommend his service. -

Tim H. Sent on 11/27/2023A Wedding That We Will Never Forget
My fiancé and I decided to have a wedding in the San Juan Islands in October, 2023. While searching for an officiant and venue, we came across Didier’s website. We liked his approach to creating a memorable wedding so we contacted him. Didier was responsive and intuitive, and crafted a personalized ceremony for us that articulated in things that we felt in our hearts. He also helped us to find the perfect photographer (Robert) to document our special day. On the day of our ceremony, the weather was less than optimal, but with a quick change of plans, we had a wedding that we will never forget. Our ceremony was both meaningful and fun, and we would love to do it all over again. We wouldn’t change a thing! We will always treasure our memories of our wedding on Orcas Island, and cannot recommend Didier’s services enough. -

Timothy Sent on 10/04/2023Didier - the Top Wedding Officiant
Didier performed an outstanding wedding ceremony for my wife (Thu) and I (Tim). We appreciate how he skillfully personalized his words and provided us wisdom based on his vast experience carrying out weddings. The video and pictures taken, along with the written copy of the wedding ceremony provide us with a lasting vivid memory to cherish for ever.
Didier recommending Shauna Thibault to take care of Thu’s hair and makeup, helped make Thu the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. Bringing his gracious wife, Kathryn, relieved all anxiety from our wedding. During the ceremony and after at our celebration they provided five star professional wedding services. For the rest of our lives we will be grateful for all that they did to give us a wedding well beyond our dreams. -

Our wedding on Orcas Island was a wonderful experience. Didier is an amazing dude, super chill, and really listens. I mean listens... Didier was super flexable with timing, location, and helped calm us down with any concerns that we had. We had a beautiful experience and Didier was a great part of it. -

Sydni Sent on 03/15/2022Awesome Island Officiant!
Didier was an incredible find for our last minute elopement. He was very responsive and we loved the personal touches on the ceremony he wrote up for us. He provided a number of different options for the ceremony and was so friendly and personable when we arrived for the ceremony. He engaged with the guests who attended and had us laughing and provided thoughtful advice for our marriage. Couldn't have asked for a better officiant! -

Sacha Sent on 02/26/2022Best Officiant and Coordinator!!
Despite some unexpected weather and travel delays, Didier made it a priority to make it to our ceremony and to support us on our special day! He was humble, gracious, has a great sense of humor, and is incredibly thoughtful. He knows everyone on the island and even helps coordinate for a VERY reasonable price. This man loves love, and you can tell by how considerate he is of the bride and grooms experience. Seriously, if you are looking to get married on Orcas it would be a mistake to go with anyone else. He is a gem and we were lucky to have met him and gone through such a special season with him on our side. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ -

Kendra Sent on 08/13/2021Congrats!! You just found the best officiant!
Look no further, you have just discovered the best wedding officiant! Now you can check off one of the most important items on your wedding list and reduce some of your wedding planning stress! Didier worked with us for 2 years as we navigated the pandemic together and I'm so happy we had him by our side. He is easy to talk to, very quick at responding, highly focused on your ceremony wants/needs/goals and overall just makes the entire process so easy and stress free. Thank you Didier for the lovely ceremony and good memories! We can't wait to visit Orcas Island again and remember all the fun and love we had that day! -

Lee F. Sent on 07/19/2021Wonderful Wedding on Orcas
Didier was an incredible officiant and day of coordinator. The vows he wrote were so moving and special. He was great with coordination too. We had a mix up with one of the vendors on flowers, and he handled everything perfectly. My husband tore his ACL 3 weeks before our wedding, and Didier provided a wheelchair and made sure he could get around safely. I feel so lucky that we had Didier for our wedding, and I would gladly recommend him to anyone getting married on Orcas. -

Graham Sent on 07/13/2021Nothing short of spectacular: don't think twice, have Didier officiate your wedding.
Wow. There's not enough words to describe how crucial Didier was to our special day. He worked with us for months prior to really get to know us, both individually and as a couple. Everything important that he learned about us he managed to weave into our ceremony, which was poetic and lovely (definitely made the moms tear up!) He was responsive, kind, and flexible all the way through. He made our ceremony work on a tight schedule and was an absolute joy to work with. He even rowed over from Orcas island to Shaw for our ceremony!!
If you want an amazing officiant who makes the process both easy and meaningful, pick Didier. -

Matthew Sent on 12/14/2020The perfect Officiant for our small wedding!
After having to delay our original wedding date due to Covid, my now Wife and I decided to have an intimate ceremony with our immediate family only. Didier was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. He asked us questions about our relationship and included details during the ceremony that made us feel like he was an old friend. Didier made the whole experience of planning our ceremony simple and was really friendly and easy to communicate with. Thank you Didier for helping to create a day that we will never forget! -

Highly recommend! We were so lucky to have found Didier for our wedding ceremony! He is very kind and easygoing, very articulate, and very respectful of what we wanted for our wedding. He helped us through every step and made our day extra special with his thoughtful words. Didier asked questions confirming how we wanted things and personalized our ceremony so that it was just right for us. We loved our wedding and it was perfect for us. He was a major hit!

We cannot even describe how absolutely pleased we are with this man. He spent unlimited time on the phone with us. We met him in person the day before out elopement. Absolutely worth the cost. Didier wasn't just doing his job and running through the steps. He cared and listened. Absolutely recommend. -

Didier was recommended to us and we were immediately smitten with his personality and thoughtfulness. We were able to work together and craft a truly lovely ceremony for our tiny wedding on Lopez and could not be happier with Didier’s beautiful words and loving spirit. -

Ann H. Sent on 09/14/2020Genuine and engaging experience!
Didier was amazing to work with! He took the time to listen to us and get to know us. We could not have asked for a better officiant. It truly felt like we had a friend walking us through the process, and in turn, the ceremony was relaxed and intimate. We were so pleased with how the ceremony (an elopement) turned out. I would highly recommend! -

Kelly Sent on 09/09/2020AMAZING! Highly Recommend.
Our wedding plans changed last minute due to Covid from a big wedding to an elopement. We reached out to Didier (he was HIGHLY recommended by EVERYONE we talked to) He was quick to respond, and made the process as seamless as possible. We had multiple calls leading up to the wedding, he got to know us and our style and you could tell he put a lot of time into creating our ceremony. Extremely genuine and loves what he does. Highly recommend! He also had some great recommendations for other vendors which was super helpful :) -

Amber Sent on 07/21/2020Absolutely wonderful ceremony!
Didier was fantastic! My fiance (now husband) and I reached out with very short notice, as we were trying to get married on the date of our original wedding (which was postponed due to COVID). Didier was very communicative and responsive. He helped walk us through the whole process, gave wonderful recommendations and guidance, and delivered a personalized ceremony that is one we will remember forever. He even brought a few family members along to act as our witnesses, because we didn't have any. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for an officiant! -

A Valued Wedding Officiant and So Much More !
We are so lucky to have had Didier as our Wedding Officiant. We met Didier in person weeks before the wedding and knew he would be a perfect fit for our wedding service. At that first meeting Didier took the time to get to know us. With his help and expertise we were able to tailor our wedding to our needs. It was an intimate, personalized and amazing wedding experience. Didier is well connected in the San Juan area with all the things that are needed for a great wedding experience. He is responsive, honest, genuine, sincere and knows how to put together a truly memorable wedding service. Thanks to our wedding experience with Didier we consider him to be a good friend as well as a great Wedding Officiant !

What an absolute joy it was to work with Didier. He went above and beyond to work with my wife and I to develop a ceremony we loved. He was thoughtful and insightful, helping my wife and I to draw out what we truly wanted the ceremony to represent and helped us focus what we had in mind through his extensive experience. We heard dozens of compliments from our guests as to how beautiful the ceremony was. He created an atmosphere of reverence and beauty, with just the perfect blend of humor. Didier contributed greatly to making our wedding something special that we will remember fondly forever. We immensely enjoyed working with him and cannot recommend him enough. -

Kara Sent on 05/07/2019Professional and spot-on Wedding Officiant
Having Didier Gincig officiate our wedding was a great decision! He came recommended by our venue (The Friday Harbor House on San Juan Island) and they were right. Didier does an excellent job! He was responsive and took the time to get to know us. He walked us through every detail of our ceremony in advance. The day of he arrived early so we could connect, and in the end it felt like a cherished friend was officiating, not someone we met only months prior. We both loved his wisdom and insights about marriage, and the personal touches he added to the ceremony about our love story and lives. We could not have been happier! And, I should also add, he recommended our photographer who we also really enjoyed working with. Our day really came together, and was everything we had hoped for. We are thankful to Didier for his help in making our day special! -

Didier was the perfect fit for our elopement. He was genial, was very communicative and really crafted a ceremony that was specific to us. He's a great, honest, genuine human being, with a big heart and a real dedication to what he does. My wife and I really felt the whole process was bespoke, and not once did we ever think we were getting anything other than Didier's complete focus. Thanks Didier! Hope to come back to Orcas and visit with you and your wife soon! -

Heather Sent on 10/25/2018We could not have picked a better Officiant!
My husband and I are loners and a little shy by nature, which is one of the biggest reasons why we wanted to elope. Didier was the perfect Officiant for our wedding and we are so happy we picked him! He is a very funny, and personable guy and he helped to make our wedding day perfect! He is very understanding and in-tune with how we wanted to put together our ceremony. We both appreciated Didier's calm and warm personality and he completely understood that our wedding day nerves stemmed from excitement, not doubt about what we were doing. We loved every minute and were so happy with how our ceremony was put together and how flexible he was with us up to and including our wedding day. The first time I spoke with him during our planning phase, I knew that he was the person I was looking for. Didier is truly passionate about what he does and he honestly cares about making your wedding day special and memorable (memorable in a good way!). We would recommend him to anyone!
