Absolutely wonderful!
We LOVED having Dianne officiate our wedding! From our very first call, we knew Dianne was the officiant for us. We had only a little over a month to go before our wedding, and we didn't have anything specific in mind other than writing our own vows. Dianne worked with us on a beautiful ceremony and incorporated a lovely reading we selected. We would have been lost without her! After our ceremony, all of our guests were commenting on how wonderfully she spoke. We would recommend Dianne to anyone, she was truly a joy to work with and she'll make your ceremony incredible!We LOVED having Dianne officiate our wedding!

Beautiful! Amazing! Perfect!
Look no further! Words cannot even begin to express how pleased we were with our celebrant Dianne Patterson! Dianne did an incredible job with our wedding ceremony and was an absolute pleasure to work with. The ceremony she performed was so beautiful and absolutely perfect. She worked closely with us to customize a ceremony that was so “us”, getting to know us along the way and incorporating elements from both of our religions, backgrounds and experiences. It was amazing and something we will always look back on with fond memories and smiles. We truly are grateful and thankful to her for that. We had more than one guest come up to us and tell us that was the most moving and best ceremony ever! And we already had a couple of guests reach out to us and say they wanted her to perform their ceremony when they were ready to get married. There were lots of happy tears! Dianne was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant to create the perfect ceremony for their special day.
Cheers!

Amazing Officiant
I had the opportunity to work with Dianne as the officiant for a wedding we hosted at our venue. She was kind, respectful, professional and flexible. The bride and groom asked for some last-minute changes, and she quickly adapted and provided the beautiful ceremony the couple was looking for.I had the opportunity to work with Dianne as the officiant for a wedding we hosted at our venue.

Dianne was everything we were looking for in a officiant. She's a great listener, respectful, accommodating, and genuinely interested in getting to know the couple and their background. Dianne beautifully crafted a ceremony that celebrated our two cultures and honored our catholic upbringing. We wholeheartedly recommend Dianne to all of our family and friends!

Incredible: Tailored to EXACTLY what we wanted
Working with Dianne was an incredible pleasure. We were dealing with so many factors, including the pandemic, so reorganizing our vision to fit in our own home seemed like it was going to be a challenge, but Dianne worked with us to make sure the ceremony would be just as magical as anywhere else. She was also willing to lookup different options for us since we were open to a few different approaches to the ceremony. It worked out perfectly.Working with Dianne was an incredible pleasure.

Well worth it!
Reflecting back on our wedding day, it is clear that your support helped make our special day unique and memorable for many years to come. You gave us the freedom to personalize our ceremony and guided us through the most important decisions about what would be most meaningful. Your questionnaire helped us distill six years of memories into a salient narrative that told the story of our relationship. Since that day, we’ve received many comments from guests who were impressed with how well you seemed to know us as a couple. That is a testament to how successful your process can be. We are so grateful to have you as such an integral part of such an important event in our lives.

Dianne is incredible at what she does
Dianne was the officiant at our microwedding last fall in the Hudson Valley - and we remain so grateful that we hired her. From personalized vow options to suggested readings and ceremony formats, Dianne helped us to create a wedding ceremony that was truly meaningful and authentically us. Many friends and family members have commented on what a terrific job she did - and how warm, kind and genuine she was with us, even if she had only just met us a few weeks prior. If you're looking for someone to officate your wedding, we would recommend Dianne in a heartbeat.Dianne was the officiant at our microwedding last fall in the Hudson Valley - and we remain so grateful that we hired her.

Dianne is the BEST!
Dianne is amazing. I found her by reading through reviews and immediately contacted her to set up a meeting. She asked us questions to learn more about us and also asked specific things we liked/didn't like in terms of wedding ceremonies so she could better serve us. Our original wedding date was Dec 2020 and we unfortunately decided to postpone due to COVID and do a small ceremony in August. She had no hesitation, immediately accommodated our new plans and was more concerned with how we were handing it rather than us changing the original arrangement. Highly recommend!!Dianne is amazing.

Dianne was so wonderful to work with. Her process allowed us to completely personalize our wedding ceremony but with her expert guidance. We could not have been happier with the ceremony that we had. It was so special. We can’t thank Dianne enough for all of her help throughout the process! Could not have asked for a better officiant.Dianne was so wonderful to work with.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Dianne has been amazing from start to finish... and she's not even done helping us yet! My (now) husband and I had to reschedule our big wedding due to COVID-19 but we still wanted to get legally married on the original day. Dianne (who created a personalized ceremony just for us) shortened our ceremony and was willing to marry us on both days! She is extremely easy to work with, listened to our input and created a wonderful and touching ceremony tailored to us. I can't wait to do it again in November in front of all of our guests. I highly recommend Dianne and I have already recommended her to close friends.Dianne has been amazing from start to finish... and she's not even done helping us yet!

Dream wedding with Dianne
Dianne was an absolute joy to work with. When our wedding changed to a backyard elopement due to COVID, Dianne ensured we still had the ceremony we dreamed of. She was a calm, kind, and reassuring presence throughout the planning process. Despite having to do all our planning virtually, Dianne took care of us every step of the way. She has a way with words and helped us strike the perfect balance between religious and non-religious elements. Whatever your ceremony vision, Dianne will help you make it even better than you envisioned!Dianne was an absolute joy to work with.

Accommodating, personable, knows her stuff
Dianne is worth her weight in gold and we are so happy we made the choice to use her for our wedding ceremony! We had booked with Dianne about a year before our date and with our initial phone call we knew she was the right choice. My husband and I were one of the first couples effected by COVID and when speaking with Dianne during that very stressful time she remained calm and more than willing to work with us for our new date - with no extra deposits or rate change (I know of brides being screwed by vendors because of COVID.) My husband and I decided to marry on our anniversary with just immediate family and Dianne was more than accommodating and was able to marry us during that time.
One of the things I originally liked about Dianne's services is that she created a draft of the ceremony for you and your spouse to review and approve (or redraft if necessary.) I have been to weddings were the priest says something of tangent and going into a ceremony I didn't want that same scenario at our wedding and the drafting and editing created a ceremony that really encompassed my spouse and I. Dianne was responsive to emails and working with her was really an enjoyable experience!

Amazing Experience
My husband and I could not be more thrilled with how our ceremony went the other weekend. Dianne was amazing, calm, and professional to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process - even with our change of plans due to COVID. She wrote a ceremony script that we will never forget! She made it so personalized (based on questions she emailed us beforehand and used some of our answers to create the script) and was so accommodating throughout the entire process. We highly highly recommend Dianne for anyone looking for an Officiant!My husband and I could not be more thrilled with how our ceremony went the other weekend.

Winter Wedding
Dianne was the perfect person to marry us. Her professionalism and sincerity guided us throughout. Creating our ceremony, writing our vows and experiencing it all “live” was exciting, meaningful and heartfelt. Dianne’s utmost attention to detail and care meant that we could relax and focus on each other and on starting our lives together “from this day forward.”Dianne was the perfect person to marry us.

One of the best weddings we attended
Diane was an amazing officiant. I was part of the wedding party, and I knew the couple appreciated her leadership, insights, and talents. She made the wedding personal and everyone attended felt welcomed at the ceremony. I have been at weddings where the officiant doesn't connect with the audience, and that's not Diane. Diane is personal, customizes the wedding to the couple, and helps bring a community of people together to celebrate a special day. You should certainly consider working with Diane!Diane was an amazing officiant. I was part of the wedding party, and I knew the couple appreciated her leadership, insights, and talents.

Beautiful and personal ceremony
We talked with a couple officiants before finding Dianne and we knew we had found a match as soon as we started talking ! She allows you to completely customize the ceremony (prayer , no prayer , readings , rituals etc). She also sends you several drafts which you are able to edit or add suggestions on. She is so kind and easy to work and talk with !
The ceremony Dianne wrote for us was so beautiful and personable! She sent each of us a questionnaire and she even reached out to several close friends and family members to really get a sense of who we are ! We received so many compliments from guests , some said it was the best ceremony they have been to , others said they thought she was a close family friend of ours ! We truly appreciated all of the time she put in to make our ceremony so memorable and special!We talked with a couple officiants before finding Dianne and we knew we had found a match as soon as we started talking !

People raved about Dianne!
Dianne was amazing!! She sent us multiple copies of our ceremony in the planning stages. Never meeting Dianne until rehearsal was no issue as she gave us the biggest hugs and made it seem like we have always known each other. My mom made some wishes the day of the rehearsal to Dianne and Dianne came through with them no problem! She was a god sent! Even our DJ suggested that Dianne read audible books for a living!Dianne was amazing!! She sent us multiple copies of our ceremony in the planning stages.

The Ceremony Everyone Talked About
My husband and I know we chose the perfect officiant for our wedding. We know that because the day after our wedding people were still talking about how special our ceremony was, how amazing and touching Dianne Patterson’s remarks were, and how they could honestly say it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. Everyone kept saying, who did your wedding? We happily replied, From the Heart Ceremonies. From the start working with Dianne was easy. Probably the most important thing she did at the beginning was taking the time to get to know us as a couple, no doubt this information was instrumental to her as she wrote our ceremony. The process of getting to that final ceremony was very straightforward and she always clearly communicated what she needed from us. She took lead in all parts of the planning and made sure we had an accurate timeline that would get us to our big day. As part of that timeline she sent us a questionnaire that encouraged us to write about our relationship, and in the meantime, she also sent along resources for ways to make our ceremony special. That was something we requested because we were not sure exactly what we wanted to do for our ceremony, other than knowing we were not overly traditional. Through this process we learned about having a Ring Warming which we decided to do, and Dianne helped us setup. That became another special way our ceremony stood out and was due to Dianne’s recommendation. After we finished the questionnaires Dianne began writing our ceremony script and as she sent us drafts she always asked us for our thoughts and edits. It was clear that she wanted to ensure our ceremony matched our expectations. In addition, when we did struggle to decide on what language to use in the ceremony or how to logistically manage a particular part, she offered a balanced perspective-never pushing one right way to do things. Her experience as an officiant shone through these moments, as she talked through what other couples had done and what had worked well for them. Our final ceremony was both deeply touching and incredibly us. It spoke to each of us individually, about our love and our bright future ahead. This inspired my fiancé and I to write our own vows, and on cue she gave us amazing resources to help us. She even helped to wordsmith our vows to ensure they struck the same emotional balance. On the day of the rehearsal Dianne took time to explain the ceremony to our wedding party and did a wonderful job of physically laying out how the event would occur. Her leadership (and again, communication) made the whole process a breeze and we finished up within thirty-minutes. As I stated above, the actual ceremony was a dream. It was everything we could have ever wanted. Dianne is a great speaker with clarity and volume balanced with precision and care. In fact, we were so confident in her abilities that we were able to relax during the ceremony and take more of it in. If you are looking for a professional officiant who can make your ceremony the talk of your wedding, Dianne is that person. We cannot recommend her highly enough, From the Heart Ceremonies will make your day unforgettable.My husband and I know we chose the perfect officiant for our wedding.

That was something we requested because we were not sure exactly what we wanted to do for our ceremony, other than knowing we were not overly traditional. Through this process we learned about having a Ring Warming which we decided to do, and Dianne helped us setup. That became another special way our ceremony stood out and was due to Dianne’s recommendation. After we finished the questionnaires Dianne began writing our ceremony script and as she sent us drafts she always asked us for our thoughts and edits. It was clear that she wanted to ensure our ceremony matched our expectations. In addition, when we did struggle to decide on what language to use in the ceremony or how to logistically manage a particular part, she offered a balanced perspective-never pushing one right way to do things. Her experience as an officiant shone through these moments, as she talked through what other couples had done and what had worked well for them. Our final ceremony was both deeply touching and incredibly us. It spoke to each of us individually, about our love and our bright future ahead. This inspired my fiancé and I to write our own vows, and on cue she gave us amazing resources to help us. She even helped to wordsmith our vows to ensure they struck the same emotional balance. On the day of the rehearsal Dianne took time to explain the ceremony to our wedding party and did a wonderful job of physically laying out how the event would occur. Her leadership (and again, communication) made the whole process a breeze and we finished up within thirty-minutes. As I stated above, the actual ceremony was a dream. It was everything we could have ever wanted. Dianne is a great speaker with clarity and volume balanced with precision and care. In fact, we were so confident in her abilities that we were able to relax during the ceremony and take more of it in. If you are looking for a professional officiant who can make your ceremony the talk of your wedding, Dianne is that person. We cannot recommend her highly enough, From the Heart Ceremonies will make your day unforgettable. -

Dianne was truly amazing!
Dianne was a pleasure to work with throughout the ceremony planning process. We enjoyed meeting with her when we first reached out and she was very kind and easy to get along with. We were able to edit our ceremony throughout the entire process and she made it extremely personal. We received SO many compliments at our reception about our personal ceremony and everyone appreciated Dianne’s work. She spoke eloquently and made the entire process seamless. She is a true gem and we would hire her again if we could!Dianne was a pleasure to work with throughout the ceremony planning process.

Beautiful ceremony
We could not have asked for a better officiant. From the beginning of our experience with Dianne we knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding. She worked with us to create a ceremony that was exactly what we wanted. You can tell she really wants to create ceremonies that are individualized and unique. She seemed to have a way that put both us and our guests at ease. She got to know us and found the perfect words to summarize our story. We had several guests say it was the best ceremony they had seen. We would definitely recommend Dianne to anyone!!We could not have asked for a better officiant.

Amazing ceremony thanks to Dianne!
Dianne was a critical part of making our ceremony as wonderful as it was. She met with us early on and took the time to not only get to know us, but really understand what attracted us to each other and why were were ready to make this commitment--and it showed in the ceremony.
She was an excellent communicator throughout the process and completely on top of her game during the ceremony (even making a change just minutes before my wife headed down the aisle!).Dianne was a critical part of making our ceremony as wonderful as it was.
