  Didier is the best!

  Didier was fantastic! He made our elopement so special. He took the time to get to know us a little and added meaningful personal touches. He’s so caring and thoughtful. Can’t recommend him enough!

  Beautiful Ceremony and Sincere Delivery

  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.

  Didier is the best!

  From the moment we spoke with Didier about the possibility of officiating for us, I knew we were going to ask him to officiate. He is very warm and engaging, and so easy to talk to. Throughout the ceremony planning process we found Didier to be so dedicated to getting to know you and takes great care to create a truly meaningful ceremony that really highlights your love story. Despite only knowing us a short time, he crafted a ceremony that felt like he knew us for years. It was so beautiful. He also helped us find a great place to order our cakes! I truly can't say enough good things about Didier. He is the best! Thank you so much, Didier!

  Thank you! Those are very kind words and sentiments. I appreciate your review and am so happy for the two of you. It was such a sweet small wedding at the Chateau Nighthawk. Thank you for the honor of officiating your wedding! I wish you both a wonderful life together!

  A 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.

  Excellent experience with Didier

  We found Didier online and were impressed with the reviews we read. We hired him, and could not have been happier. Didier was very responsive and easy to work with. The ceremony was everything that we hoped it would be. Didier has a tremendously positive energy that we felt and others also commented on. Highly recommended!

  Washington Park wedding !!

  We wanted a small personal wedding on a bluff above the water in Anacortes’ Washington Park and Dedier came through for us by coming to Anacortes (on his e-bike) and made the day very special. He was directed to find out about us personally so as to write a ceremony that fit us. He was on track through the whole process and it was perfect. We highly recommend Dedier!!

  Invaluable

  Having Didier as our day of coordinator was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made. Everyone who knows Didier speaks highly of him and love working with him, and we did too! Not only was he extremely organized and kept our timeline in check, he also has invaluable insight, since he has a ton of experience. He brings a very relaxed disposition and was on top of everything.
  
  Hiring Didier really allowed my wife and I to relax during the day and all the events and not have to be distracted by keeping everything on track.
  
  Thanks so much Didier!

  Didier - 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.

  A wonderful officiant for an island wedding

  Didier was a pleasure to work with, from the moment we reached out to the wedding day itself. He was professional, thoughtful, friendly, and made our ceremony a memory we will cherish forever. We were married on Lopez Island and especially appreciated his willingness to work with the ferry schedule and travel to the remote location of our ceremony. If he is available for your date, don't hesitate!

  Beautiful Elopement Ceremony

  We eloped this past December (2022) and made the wonderful decision to hire Didier Gincig as our officiant. From our first conversation, it was clear that Didier took time and care to really understand us as a couple and what we wanted for our ceremony. He offered guidance which put us at ease and reassured us each step of the way. He was easy to communicate with, over the phone and through email. We planned an outdoor ceremony, rain or shine, and despite a winter storm hitting the day before, Didier was game for the mile hike in the snow! His adaptability and willingness to accommodate our wishes made our wedding perfect. At the ceremony, his words and demeanor grounded us – he made us feel welcome and held space for us to experience the moment. We had a fantastic day and are so happy Didier was part of it!

  Two weddings!

  We were planning to marry at Orcas Island in September with Didier, but decided to marry in June through our county clerk’s office. We contacted Didier and told him about the change, but asked if he would still perform an unofficial ceremony, which he did. The ceremony Didier performed was beyond magical. His words and demeanor were so touching and meaningful. We feel so fortunate that he still performed our ceremony. Now as we look at our photographs we think of the beauty of the island, the emotion of the occasion, and Didier who made it all work. I would marry my wife over and over every day if I could, and at all of those ceremonies Didier would be present as our officiant.

  A dream come true!

  My husband and I eloped this past weekend and were grateful to have Didier as our officiant. Cannot speak highly enough about him or the ceremony he provided. We reached out to him very last minute and Didier responded right away and was unbelievably flexible in making himself available for our day. Since we are not from the area, he was also extremely helpful in providing the best location suggestions. We went with the garden at the Outlook in and WOW it was everything I could have hoped for and then some. I also have to give a huge shoutout to his incredible wife for attending the ceremony as our witness (and ring bearer, flower holder, hairstylist, etc). You both made our day SO special, put us at ease, and walked us through every step with grace, enthusiasm, and expertise. We will be reliving this day and your beautiful words for the rest of our lives. So from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!!

  Absolutely Perfect!

  Mr. Didier Gincig is so wonderful to have as an officiant. He is very helpful and I am really thankful that he was able to come to the rehearsal the night before - he gave me a lot of words of wisdom that I really appreciated! He has a very fun sense of humor and my wedding ceremony was perfect. There was a few moments that did not go according to plan, but he is very good at covering and being flexible! Wonderful service! Super professional in his emails and was prompt at replying.

  Could Not Have Asked for a Better Fit for Our Elopement!

  We could not have asked for a more perfect officiant to perform our elopement ceremony! Didier was professional and timely, even with a 3-hour time zone difference! He took the time to really get to know both of us so that he could create a ceremony that neither of us would ever forget! He was extremely knowledgeable and caring and made the entire process seem like a piece of cake! We cannot thank him and his lovely wife (one of our witnesses) enough for helping make our wedding day the best day of our lives!

  Wow! Kathryn and I loved every moment in such a magical place--the home where we used to live with our little children by the water. We wish you and Zach a wonderful life together!

  The Perfect Officiant

  Didier is kind, respectful and lots of fun. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to perform our ceremony and we're so glad that we found him from all the way across the pond. We were also very lucky to get to spend some time with Didier and his wife. They were both very warm and welcoming and made Orcas Island feel like home. Didier's wonderful friends volunteered to be our witnesses and the ceremony was all the more special for it. Since we eloped, our family couldn't be there and we're incredibly grateful to Didier for taking us under his wing. It was a very special day in great part thanks to him. We'll definitely go back to visit him in the future.

  A wonderful experience from start to finish!

  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.

  We love our officiant

  We were so happy and blessed to have Didier officiate our wedding. I remember Didier made me cried over the phone when he was sharing his thoughts and ideas about our ceremony because his words really touched my heart and were exactly what I believed. He made our ceremony meaningful and memorable! You can trust him doing a very good job!

  Tina, that was a lovely wedding at Friday Harbor House. In fact, the vows you shared made both photographers cry! My heart was also very touched by sincerity and love you share. Best to you both!

  THE best officiant!

  We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our ceremony. Didier was very attentive and caring from the very beginning and made the whole process and planning a lot smoother as we encountered some hiccups. He provided us with amazing local information and was an excellent critical thinker. He was the perfect man for our perfect day and future brides and grooms will be very lucky to have him at their wedding.
  
  I must also say… his hats brings personality to the ceremonies. We are big fans!

  Incredible

  Didier was amazing- very thorough, sincere, authentic, and responsive to us and who we are as a couple. We were so glad to have found him and he helped make our special day one to remember forever. The words he wrote and spoke were so insightful and intuitive that our guests, and my husband and I, haven't stopped talking about them. Many thoughtful reflections...we couldn't be happier that we reached out to Didier.

  I love it that no one stressed about the weather and that everyone was so adaptable. With the fire, decorations, the feeling we created in the Cascade Lake Picnic Shelter felt so intimate. You are such kind people with so much love. I feel so satisfied to be able to officiate your wedding and be part of this cherished time we shared together. I wish you well on your new adventure! Much love!

  Awesome 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!

  Best 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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  Perfect Wedding Officiant on the San Juan Islands - Didier Gincig!

  We got married on Dec. 11, 2021 - it was an intimate small wedding (with a few friends as witnesses and two musicians) on San Juan Island. Didier Gincig was the perfect wedding officiant! He was sensitive, kind, and understanding to all involved. His words were perfect for us, and he let us edit the vows to suit ourselves as well. We couldn't be happier with our wedding! An officiant is a very important choice - choose Didier and you will not be disappointed!!
