My partner and I decided to elope on a Sunday and by the following Friday we were married by Rev. Dee. I had contacted a few officiants to find someone to marry us, and Rev. Dee was the quickest to respond and the most flexible with the day and time. Rev. Dee was always in constant communication and was always putting us at ease in this process. We were able to meet with her and she asked a lot of questions to get to know us so she could personalize our ceremony. The ceremony was exactly what my partner and I wanted because Rev. Dee made sure to personalize the ceremony us. I highly recommend Rev. Dee. She was a pleasure to work and made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect!

Rev. Dee is a vivacious and delightful person! Her enthusiasm and attention to detail, coupled with her ability to make everyone feel comfortable is an asset that is totally worth it. In the realms of officiant and "Mistress" of Ceremonies, she is the greatest!

Dee rocks!!

Dee makes getting married easy! She listened to us describe ourselves and the ceremony we envisioned. She helped us fill in the gaps. She brought the perfect energy and warmth to our special day. She is great to work with!!

October 2020 Wedding

We didn't speak with many ministers before we met with Rev. Dee and hired her for our wedding, in fact, she was the only one we met with. Just from the first meeting we knew she was a perfect fit. We had some non-traditional and unconventional ideas for our wedding, along with trying to host it during COVID, and she delivered exactly what we had asked and then some. Fantastic work, great value, and a pleasure to work with.

Dee is amazing!

We had planned a non-religious beach ceremony but for whatever reason had trouble finding an officiant for our wedding. For a while, we waffled between picking someone that we knew or a professional. When we settled on getting a professional (so our guests could all sit back and enjoy the wedding without any additional pressure), it seemed like everyone was booked! As if that wasn't frustrating enough, we also had some less-than-polite responses when we inquired out to ask some of them about their availability. Not sure why Dee hadn't come up on my earlier searches but I'm so happy that we were able to find her. Dee is so nice, friendly, and really cares about her couples! She tailored what she said at our wedding so that it was like she knew us personally, including some really great vows that were very "us." Like many other couples, we had to deal with rescheduling our wedding due to COVID and she was so professional, understanding, and supportive throughout the entire process. Thank you SO much Dee for being a part of our special day!

From the second I met her I knew I'd really like her as our officiant. She's incredibly patient and worked hard to make our ceremony absolutely perfect for us.

Highly recommend!

Rev. Richardson is so great to work with. From our first meeting with her, she really took the time to get to know us. She is truly passionate about her work, and makes each of her clients feel valued and cared for. She is very open and flexible, and will make sure she understands all your needs, wishes, and preferences for your ceremony. Our wedding ceremony was so special and meaningful, and it felt very much like it was ours. I highly recommend Rev. Richardson, she will make your day that much more special.

Rev. Dee was great! We met with her in her office and knew right away that she was the one we wanted to handle our ceremony. She is helpful, likeable and immediately it seemed like we had known her forever. We didn't know exactly what we wanted but she took the time to get to know us. We would definitely recommend her. Everything was just perfect.

Wow. I've never met someone that gets so excited for the love you share with your husband to be and gets so excited for the wedding during the planning. We met so many times because I just loved her! My fiancé even liked her from the first meeting. Every other officiant would sound so boring on the phone, and when I spoke with DEE she was excited and happy and full of love!!! She has personality. We received SO much good feedback about her after our ceremony. Our ceremony was so personal and all about love and you could just feel it in the room because of Rev Dee Richardson. She will be a life long friend. I am sad that I can't have her marry us all over again. Because she made it all so wonderful. I am so glad we chose her over the boring people on the phone I had talked to. She really makes you feel special and makes your ceremony exactly how you want it! She will give you ideas but ultimately wants and will do whatever you want and need from her. We just love her!!!!!

Rev. Dee Richardson is the most kind, and the most down to earth person I have ever met. She truly made everything so easy, and so beautiful. I would love to work with her again some day!!

Josh and I are a very young couple who were married on the beach earlier this month! Your ceremony, in my opinion is the most important part of your wedding. You really want to find someone you connect with, someone you feel comfortable with to help you celebrate your love and marry you. We found that in Dee, we couldn't have chosen a better officiant! She wrote a beautiful ceremony, that was so unique to us and our love. We got so many compliments on the ceremony, and my aunt is meeting with her soon to discuss her wedding! She has a very warm, loving, and adorable essence about her you can't help but love! Dee is a very genuine beautiful person, who will make your wedding day everything it should be.

Beautiful Ceremony and Beautiful all around

Rev Dee is honestly so lovely and so great to work with. Always flexible and willing to help where she can, she made our special day even more special. The ceremony she performed was beautiful and she was just a joy to work with. My husband and I knew from the get go that she would be the one to help us bring in our special day, as you walk in she makes you feel loved and helps make every aspect of the process beautiful. Both my husband and I decided to write our vows and Rev Dee helped with every aspect of that as well, even providing some inspiration to help the process. The day of the wedding, the ceremony she performed was so beautiful. I am so glad that we had Rev Dee officiate our wedding, I cannot imagine our wedding without her.

Dee is extremely kind and thoughtful in working with you to create a ceremony that fits your relationship. She is a joy to work with and be around, very responsive by email. She's very experienced and prepared for anything, she has answers to all your logistical questions and knows what to ask you that you hadn't even thought of in order to make your day special. Our families loved her as well, my parents were brought back to their own wedding day by the spirit of the ceremony, which was extra fitting as they'd just had their anniversary. Hiring Dee made ceremony planning nearly stress free.

Rev. Dee Richardson was absolutely amazing! The ceremony was tailor made just for us and included lots of funny facts about us. She arrived early, and stayed for the reception to enjoy the time with us and the guests. She was perfect in every way and we would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed!!!

Dee was the absolute PERFECT officiant for our wedding. I can not express how pleased we were with her, she truly EXCEEDED our expectations. We contacted Dee THREE days before our wedding. She was extremely responsive, and flexible. Shockingly fulfilled our requests with no hesitation and adventurously hiked with my new husband and I to our location. Dee is a true gem, a beautiful person inside and out! So passionate and warm. Not to mention, (since we eloped) she fully filled the shoes of the closest, missed, loved one by helping with my dress, shoes, and floral head crown. Step by step she offered the most calming company with encouragement and heartfelt words. And delivered a one of a kind, memorable, and heartfelt ceremony. We HIGHLY recommend Dee ❤

Dee was awesome, she was professional, sweet, easy to work with. Gave great suggestions to the bride and groom as they wrote their vows. She is very welcoming and brought a great service together. She was so heartfelt with her spiritual presentation.

Reverend Dee is wonderful! I can't say it enough. Finding the perfect officiant is key. She was easy to work with and very flexible. My husband and I changed our ceremony just a couple days before our wedding and she was happy to go with it. Reverend Dee took care of all the details. As you know, there's enough stress involved in planning the perfect day, so my husband and I were relieved to work with someone who truly enjoys it.
