  The beat Wedding Officiant

  Denise Gonyea was wonderful. She made her self viable and was easy to get hold if had any questions. She was so fixable and was able to give different options that I didn't even think about. She made us feel comfortable.

  Wonderful wedding officiant!!

  Denise was very helpful in preparing for our wedding day! She was always there for any questions that we had, and was very quick to respond! On our actual wedding day, she was very professional, and the ceremony was so well thought out and special to us as a couple! We would definitely recommend Denise to anyone looking for a wedding officiant in the future!

  Professional peace of mind

  Denise was very professional and easy to work with! We enjoyed using her templates as a baseline for our ceremony and she was able to fine tune our script to fit our needs. She was very flexible, as we changed what we wanted to do for our unity ceremony about a week before the wedding. Her experience gave us the peace of mind that our ceremony would run smoothly, and it did!

  Our Perfect Day

  Denise did an absolutely fantastic job with every facet of the officiant role ay our wedding. She customized each detail to be tailored to our day and added very genuine and romantic touches that had the crowd just as engaged in our wedding as we were. There is nothing I would change and nothing more I would ask for. If you’re looking for someone to help make your special day even more special, look no further than Denise Gonyea.

  Wonderful!

  We hired Denise for our wedding and she was just what we wanted for our wedding ceremony! We met with her once before our wedding and she helped us plan out our ceremony. She has a lot of experience and is very professional! She personalized our ceremony with some questions she had asked each of us privately and it made the whole thing a lot more special. She also took care of all the marriage license stuff after the ceremony and was very prompt with it! We can’t recommend her enough!

  Wedding ceremony officiant

  Denise was such a gem to work with! She was extremely organized and made things go so smoothly the day of the wedding. We got so many compliments on our ceremony thanks to Denise — we even had multiple people ask if we were related to her, which is a credit to the hard work she put in to make the ceremony personable and unique to us.

  Helpful and Open to Whatever You'd Like To Do

  Denise was a wonderful officiant! She gave us guidance on potential options for our ceremony but was also open to anything non-traditional that we wanted to do. Due to COVID we had some changes along the way. She was always extremely understanding and responsive. Highly recommend!

  Just fabulous!

  Denise was truly amazing! She was fine to completely do everything or work with the material I provided. She made my best person cry during the rehearsal and the ceremony and did an amazing job wrangling participants who drank too much. We didn't have nearly all the details ironed out but she ensured it all went super smooth--even our Iranian sugar ceremony. More than that, she made me feel beautiful and important and I would recommend her to anyone!

  Professional and Organized

  When it came time to hire the officiant for our wedding, we were relieved when we met Denise. Her professionalism and organization really impressed both of us. She was personable during our initial meeting and put us both at ease. We loved all of the options she provided for us when it came to writing our ceremony, and she made herself available for any questions we had. She had a calmness about her during our ceremony that certainly made me feel better and helped me stay in the moment. We would highly recommend!

  Denise was an incredible officiant for us. We found her on WeddingWire and are so glad we went with her. From the moment we met her in our initial meeting, we could tell she was going to provide us with a service that would be unique to us. We wanted a very short ceremony that was intimate and still capture the emotions we were feeling that day. Denise was so accommodating in helping us design a ceremony and vows that would be a true testament to our relationship. She did a great job keeping the ceremony rolling and making sure we were prepared through the rehearsal. My husband and I did not want a very religious ceremony, and Denise was great at helping us to come up with a way to incorporate a short prayer but then highlight the other aspects of marriage as well. We would highly recommend Denise to anyone who is in search of an officiant who is experienced, organized, and flexible!

  Something just felt right starting from our initial contact with Denise. We had several questions along the way and Denise gave us not only the answers we needed but other suggestions we had not considered.
  Our wedding experience was wonderful, and having Reverend Denise Gonyea as our officiant made it that much more special.
  All the best, David & Angel.

  I honestly can't say enough good things! Denise was very helpful and understanding. She worked with us to get everything just right, and was on the ball with everything from last minute paperwork to unforeseeable schedule changes. We would have been totally lost without her.

  I would recommend Denise to anyone looking for a wedding officiant, she was prompt when I needed questions answer, she was flexible and she was beyond professional. She was kind and caring and I couldn't have asked for a better officiant at our wedding. I give her 5 + stars all the way around!
