Fantastic!
My wife and I couldn’t be more happy with how Derek made our wedding day complete. From the first email to our wedding day, Derek kept in great contact and was a tremendous help in making sure we had all our ducks in a row in a timely manor for our wedding. Derek gave us a few ceremony outlines to choose from that we were able to customize to our liking which was great. Derek was overall a very easy officiant to work with and we were very pleased in choosing him for our wedding. I definitely recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant. -

So grateful to have found Rev. Derek!
Rev. Derek is the perfect choice for anyone in search of an officiant! If you are like us and have no idea who or how to select someone so important to your wedding day, save yourself the time and hassle of looking any further and connect with him! I don't think it would be possible to be anything less than thrilled with his services. He is prompt, cordial, professional, extremely helpful, super organized and detail oriented, all of the above! He will help you piece together a ceremony that fits your visions and beliefs, and perform it perfectly. There is an obvious reason for all of the great reviews he has received and you will not be disappointed in your decision. He has a genuine desire to meet your hopes and expectations and goes above and beyond to make this part of your day as stressless as possible. We simply cannot recommend him highly enough. We received many compliments on his role in our day! -

Fortunately Derek's experience showed he helped us to build our ceremony into perfection and everything he suggested was fantastic. I would 100% recommend working with Rev. Derek Kiewatt -

One of the best parts of our wedding. 100% recommend
Derek was amazing from start to finish, he checked in on us, he helped us navigate how to write or help him write our ceremony and provided guidance throughout. He did his homework on us and also provided lots of humor at a very stressful time as planning a wedding is not easy. He took time to talk to us on the phone and walk through the whole process. Day of he showed up early was a calm in a storm of chaos and provided us with some amazing advice and a great ceremony. He was able to combine my Jewish traditions with Zach's faith and write a ceremony that merged us seamlessly. 1000% this guy is who you want there on your special day. He is ready to wrangle a rogue/rough mom or dad for you as well. -

Great officiant!
Rev Derek was the best! We struggled to find an officiant because we were planning out of state. He was kind, communicative and reliable. I highly recommend him. He was funny and engaging. He also helped keep our rowdy groomsmen in line. Thank you for making our ceremony so special Rev. Derek! -

Amazing officiant
Rev. Derek Kiewatt was amazing! From the beginning when we first contacted Rev. Kiewatt, he was sooo easy to work with. Even though our wedding day was coming up fast in 2 months, Rev. Kiewatt was able to squeeze us in his busy schedule and made our day special. He was so helpful, organized, professional, funny and approachable. The planning process was so easy with Rev. Kiewatt who gave us lots of tips and was so prompt with replying to our questions and concerns. On the wedding day, Rev. Kiewatt came an hour early to meet everyone and helped us practice the ceremony and that helped ALOT!!!!!! We were so lucky to have him officiating our wedding! -

Amazing Officiant
Rev. Derek was an amazing officiant. My husband and I talked to a few different officiants before we chose Derek to be the officiant for our August wedding and pre-marital education and coaching. Derek is personable, funny, and understanding. He listens, offers advice, and will go above and beyond to make your day exactly how you imagine it. If you hire Rev. Derek you will not regret your decision! -

Amazing officiant!
We are so happy that we had Rev. Derek officiate our wedding. From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with and incredibly kind and friendly. He immediately made us feel like a priority, and we knew our big day was important to him. We met with him a few times several months before our wedding for premarital coaching and it was super beneficial to build a relationship with him ahead of time, along with learn a few things about my husband and our relationship. Rev. Derek was extremely professional and always very responsive. I emailed him numerous times with ceremony questions and got thoughtful responses usually within a few hours. He stayed for part of our reception and fit right in with our family and friends. Numerous people came to us afterwards and complimented him and the ceremony. Rev. Derek is an amazing officiant, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone planning their wedding! -

Highly Recommended
We absolutely loved having Reverend Derek as our officiant for our wedding! Due to covid, we had to change plans and do a smaller ceremony and then are doing our originally planned wedding in 2021. He was so understanding and easy to work with. He was willing to help us in anyway we needed. We are very excited to have him for our second wedding as well!
We also did premarital counseling with him and it was very help for us as a couple and to have him get to know us before the big day.
He is great at making the ceremony special, personal to the couple and engaging your guests. Our families commented on how great he was as well. He is a great person to get to know, very genuine and many great stories.
We can't thank him enough for being a part of our wedding day (both wedding days)! -

Reverend Derek is fabulous
Reverend Derek was such a special part of our big day and the months leading up to it. We did pre-marital coaching with him, and it really helped us to hone our communication skills and build a stronger connection. He helped us to craft the perfect wedding ceremony and added a very special, personalized message that referenced some of the things we had discussed in our coaching sessions. We've gotten so many compliments from guests!
I feel confident that our relationship with Rev. Derek won't end with our wedding day, and I feel grateful to have built a lasting connection. Thank you Rev Derek! -

Reverend Derek is the best!
We were very happy to have Reverend Derek as our officiant. Rev Derek was patient, kind, and very knowledgeable in knowing how to run a smooth wedding! He took us under his wing, and with his advice, we had a beautiful wedding. He is a great communicator and is quick to reply to any questions and emails we sent to him. I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a top-notch officiant for their wedding. -

Great experience with Rev. Derek Kiewatt
My husband and I are an inter-faith couple (Muslim and Christian) and we loved working with Rev. Derek Kiewatt. He gave us a lot of resources to plan our ceremony and showed flexibility with our requests. I highly recommend hiring him :) -

Excellent Officiant
Dr Kiewatt was a great officiant! He is very approachable and nice. We met with a couple officiants but he was the nicest and the most willing to do whatever we needed/wanted. He was even super flexible when our wedding got postponed due to COVID. He had lots of ideas for ceremonies or you could do whatever you wanted and that was super great, because I was completely lost with my ceremony.
Thank you Dr. Kiewatt! -

Rev. Derek knocked it out of the park!
I can’t even begin to brag about what an amazing experience we had working with Rev. Derek. He was an absolute joy to work with. Not only did we enjoy having him as a part of our wedding, but our guests were so impressed with him also. He was very attentive, genuine and professional. I would recommend Rev. Derek over and over again. -

Would highly recommend!
We cannot say enough great things about Rev Derek, he was absolutely amazing! We decided to plan our wedding in a short amount of time. He provided resources and knowledge so that we could put together the exact ceremony we were hoping for. His communication was excellent, and he even showed up early the day of the event to make sure everything was set. Derek made us feel so comfortable, and truly cares about your special day. We feel very blessed that he was a part of our ceremony, and would highly recommend him. -

Phenomenal Officiant that LOVES what he does
Rev. Derek was absolutely amazing! So easy to talk to and always responded quickly to any questions we had. Loved meeting with him before our wedding to establish our relationship with him. Made our outdoor non traditional ceremony perfect!! Had so many rave comments from friends and family about how much they enjoyed the ceremony. I know I found him on purpose and I thank God for that. Our day was phenomenal and Rev. Derek played a huge roll in making sure everything went smoothly. If you are unsure, let me assure you, he is hands down the only choice for a wedding officiant. -

Amazing Reverend Derek
Professional, charming, and warm Reverend Derek was there the entire way. He guided our planning with a knowhow that made us rest at ease. When it came to the big day we were confident because we had an amazing officiant who planned out stuff we hadn't even thought of. Extremely accommodating and very good. 10/10!Minnesota Reverend's reply:
Thank you so much for your review. After a very challenging, horrifying week, your words are especially appreciated. I hope all's well with you and Brady. Please give her my best wishes, too. Take care! -

Fantastic experience!
Reverend Derek was an absolutely pleasure to work with. We wanted an officiant who would be willing to get to know us as people so that they could best represent us during our ceremony, and that's what we got! The ceremony went off without a hitch, which is the most important part; perhaps our favorite part, though, was the premarital coaching. Rev. Derek came over to our apartment for a couple sessions, and it was so fun to see how my fiance and I responded to questions, different assessments, etc. And more than fun, it was meaningful. Rev. Derek was a great facilitator through it all and we are so happy we chose him! -

Reverend Derek gave us our perfect ceremony!
We can't begin to express how wonderful Rev. Derek was helping us with our wedding day ceremony from start to finish. From our pre-marital "education" to helping us with writing our ceremony vows and walking us through the steps. He was so easy to talk to, responsive and there for us every step of the way. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and our favorite part of our wedding! We can't recommend him enough. Thank you Reverend Derek! -

Truly a perfect ceremony!
Rev. Derek was the perfect addition to our wedding day! From the very beginning during planning Rev. Derek was very personable and responsive with any questions we had about the ceremony. The day of the rehearsal dinner some of our wedding party was running late due to weather, and he was very understanding and accommodating so that everyone could be a part of the rehearsal! Our actual ceremony went so smoothly, and we received many wonderful comments from our guests. Rev. Derek truly put together a beautiful ceremony, and would highly recommend! -

Experienced, personable, kind and has a great sense of humor!
Rev. Derek is experienced, personable, kind and has a great sense of humor! He is also very flexible with the type of service you are looking for as he can easily transition from serious to humorous at your request. Based on these qualities, we booked him as our wedding officiant. He had great communication throughout the process and was always available for questions. Following our ceremony, many of our guests asked if Rev. Derek was a family friend, which we had felt like he had been. I definitely recommend Rev. Derek! -

When my wife and I planned our wedding, we quickly realized, that we had a language problem. As my parents speak little English, and my wife's family no German, we where afraid we could not have the wedding we wished for. Fortunately, we found Reverent Derek, who supported us with a very beautiful, bilingual ceremony, that helped both of our families feel included. Derek has a warm and open nature, and is easy and fun to work with. He also has a lot of good stories at hand to prepare you for your special day the easy way. We thank Derek for his service, and would highly recommend him. -
