Highly Individualized, Highly Recommend

Rev. DiAnna was professional, heartfelt, and sincere. She provided individual questionnaires which helped both of us to reach into the depths of our love. She worked with us to craft a beautiful and perfectly individualized wedding ceremony. I can't imagine having anyone else officiate my husband and I's ceremony. Rev. DiAnna comes highly recommended by us!

Wonderful Officiant!

DiAnna was a wonderful, thoughtful officiant with an amazingly calm persona. She incorporated our wishes and readings into the non denominational elopement ceremony. She’s very LGBTQ affirming. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to wed and would have her marry us over and over!

Professional, personal, and great sense of humor

We’re so grateful to have had Rev. Dianna Ritola as our officiant. From the very beginning, she felt like a friend—someone who genuinely took the time to get to know us and what mattered most to us. That connection made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful, not just for us, but for our guests too.

Dianna has a calm, grounding presence, and she also brings a wonderful sense of humor that helped ease everyone’s nerves. She struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and lighthearted, making the ceremony feel both emotional and, at times, even a little entertaining—in the best way.

She kept things running smoothly, helped us stay organized leading up to the big day, and even offered a beautiful blessing at dinner that added such a lovely, thoughtful touch. We honestly couldn’t imagine the day without her. Highly recommend!

Makes it personal

DiAnna is so great to work with. She works with you on what type of ceremony you are looking for and helps make it personal and special for you. She can also provide helpful information and suggested ideas to get you started.

Everything was on POINT!

We decided we wanted to get married in less than 25hours! We found Rev. DiAnna, she was able to get everything organized for us and showed up at the restaurant where we got married on time and met everyone and our boys. I felt like she had superpowers to make my 3 years old boy listened to everything she said. She’s funny, witty and super easy going. She personality made our short and sweet marriage went smooth and memorable ! Thank you of course couldn’t have done it without you. I would totally recommend her to anyone I know.

Fun & Quirky, Sentimental & Lovely

DiAnna was amazing as the officiant for our wedding. Throughout the process she asked questions to make it the most personal ceremony we possibly could have imagined. We wanted a sense of fun, community, sentimentality, and family and we got all of that! We spent the ceremony laughing and crying and laughing again. We had people tell us afterwards that it was one of the most fun weddings they had ever attended and DiAnna certainly helped us keep it light hearted, and yet still deeply meaningful to us. We really could never have asked for a better person to guide us through this special day.

The most amazing officiant

Our original officiant backed out and we were looking for a non-denominational wedding officiant. I loved Rev DiAnna’s website, she is such a bright light and she got right back to us to have a phone call to see if we all were a right fit to work together. She was amazing, she helped us create our own customized ceremony from start to finish including adding a ring warming ceremony which she was already familiar with even though a lot of people I mentioned it to didn’t know about them. We worked through phone calls and emails, she worked with our schedules and always treated us as if we were her only couple she needed to focus on. So many of our friends complimented us on our ceremony and looking back, that was still the most important and beautiful part of our wedding (yes, I cried through the whole ceremony). Thank you DiAnna for making our day so perfectly “us” and helping us have the perfect unique ceremony we were looking for!

It was absolutely amazing to have DiAnna be part of our special day. Stefano and I felt like we had known her for years and that she captured exactly the things about our relationship that meant the most to us. She was very inclusive and was happy to deliver part of the ceremony in Italian so that Stef's mum felt included and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism. No hesitation in recommending DiAnna to anybody. All the best, Debra

My daughter was wed on April 28, 2018 and DiAnna performed the most personal and beautiful ceremony. She really got to know my daughter and fiance before the ceremony and she incorporated so many small and personal stories into the ceremony. We were thrilled with the experience from beginning until the end.

Rev. DiAnna was simply wonderful. My husband and I really valued the brief yet meaningful ceremony she did for our wedding. We loved her professionalism, kindness and just overall flexibility that one day we would love for her to baptize our future children!

DiAnna was hands down the perfect person to conduct our wedding! She was the ideal recipe of warmth, fun and professionalism to keep us sane on a day that felt overwhelming and our of our control. My husband and i were blessed to have found DiAnna who did a great job taking the time to get to know us and our preferences, and ensure that the ceremony was tailored to our specific needs, which I found extremely stress-free on the day of. At the end of it all, we were left with hearts full of love, laughter and amazing photos - all thanks to DiAnna and Michele. Thanks ladies for making our special day absolutely perfect for us <3

DiAnna was everything that we could have hoped for, and more. She was incredible to work with leading up to the ceremony as she helped us to craft our special day. DiAnna created an atmosphere of love and community, with perfect dashes of humor to keep things light when needed. When rain started to pour down right before our wedding, DiAnna made sure that a last-minute location change under cover made for a beautiful ceremony without any stress on our part. Many of our guests commented afterwards how amazing she was in making that transition and the way that she captured each of our personalities in the service. DiAnna helped us to shine for one another in the best way possible. She is simply a wonderful officiant and person, and we highly recommend her.

As promised, Rev. DiAnna delivered a tailored ceremony for my husband and I and we LOVED it. Although we were having a destination wedding, we were able to meet with DiAnna a few days before at a coffee house. We knew at that time that we had made the right choice! Tears were had by all (including us!) during the lovely ceremony. Very professional, low stress. 10/10!

Before I chose DiAnna, I researched many different officiant's. Honestly her profile stood out to me the most specifically because she is very open minded and fun! Once I spoke to her on the phone I felt like I clicked with her immediately, she has one of those personalities that can get along with anyone. She was very easy to talk to and helped me through the entire process so gracefully. She and I kept In touch up until the day of and I am so grateful for that. On the day of She exceeded my expectations and was honestly everything I could've ever wished for in an officiant. She was funny, kind, and her energy was amazing! All of my guests kept saying that I picked a perfect person to marry us and a few of my guests even asked for her number as they stated they want her to marry them as well. Honestly I highly highly highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed I guarantee!

DiAnna is WONDERFUL! She was extremely responsive, flexible, and patient with us as we were designing the ceremony, and she offered plenty of suggestions. More importantly, we felt completely comfortable with her from the beginning. We didn't meet in person until the day of the wedding, but it didn't feel that way! She truly brings about a joyous energy.

Rev. DiAnna was a pleasure to work with and really took the stress out of our day. We debated hiring a day-of coordinator, but she assured us that with the help of family and the venue, she would have it covered. And she was right! She did a great job gathering and directing the entire wedding party, and added a very nice personal touch to our wedding. It was exactly how we imagined it, and it couldn't have gone any smoother. Thank you, DiAnna!

DiAnna was everything we could have hoped for and more in an officiant! She was always flexible with our crazy schedules, nonjudgmental, and made our ceremony so personal and honestly just perfect. DiAnna gave us recommendations where we needed them and let us decide on everything and anything we wanted. So many of our guests commented on how wonderful she was. My husband and I had an interfaith ceremony and this did not phase DiAnna one bit. She had wonderful recommendations on how to meld our two faiths. We couldn't recommend her more! Thanks so much DiAnna!

We are so glad we chose DiAnna to be our officiant! She was so personable and easy to talk to throughout the whole process, and she put together such a personal and beautiful ceremony for us that you'd think she had known us both for much longer than she really did! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a laid back, professional, funny, and sweet officiant!

DiAnna took the time to meet us for coffee. The rapport was instant... She was personable, compassionate and forthrightly invested in making our "Big Day" special. She supplied us with ample ceremonial options, including several lovely readings. She took care of everything, so that we could focus on each other, during our ceremony... as it should be :)

DiAnna could not have been a more perfect choice to be our wedding officiant. The moment we met her, we could feel her positivity and zest for life. She is a true blessing to anyone who crosses her path. We are forever thankful to Meghan Rolfe, our photographer/coordinator, for setting us up with DiAnna. Not only did we have the best officiant for us, but a new friend for life.

DiAnna was a great choice for our elopement at the Biltmore in Asheville. She was very communicative and had a great questionnaire to get to know both of us a little better. She took all of my edits and editions to our texts and turned them into a beautiful ceremony.

DiAnna was nothing short of EVERYTHING I was looking for in a wedding officiant. She is professional, incredibly personable, and flexible. We had a face-to-face meeting and it was an absolute pleasure. My husband and I hit it off with DiAnna almost immediately, and knew she was the one for us. We adored her sense of humor and received so much respect and gracefulness from her. We continue to receive many compliments on our ceremony.

DiAnna was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I planned our elopement with her from out of state, but we never felt very far away from DiAnna at all! DiAnna skyped with us, emailed us, and was always very quick to respond with any questions we had about our elopement. She took the ideas, sentiments & hopes that we had for our special day and wove them into a beautiful ceremony. Her reading was very thoughtfully crafted and really highlighted what my husband and I honor and love about one another. DiAnna was incredibly accommodating. Our wedding day was a rainy and chilly one, and she was flexible as we decided to change the setting in which we planned to say our vows. We have shared her ceremony with our family and they echo our thoughts & feelings. If we are ever going to renew our vows in the area, we will immediately seek her out!! We cannot say enough wonderful things about DiAnna & highly recommend her.

Our ceremony created by Reverend DiAnna was a true highlight of our wedding. The Reverend crafted a unique, funny, and engaging ceremony for us. We immediately clicked with Reverend DiAnna the first time we Skyped with her. She really listened to our preferences and dislikes. My family is Jewish and my husband's family is Southern Baptist, so we needed a ceremony that was non-denominational but still meaningful; the Reverend struck the perfect balance and all sides were pleased. We were immensely impressed with Reverend DiAnna and absolutely would recommend her to anyone!

Rev. DiAnna was simply perfect! We booked her without meeting but our first phone call left me giggling and smiling even after we hung up and I knew it would work! She guided us through the whole process, wrote a personalized ceremony, and made us feel so comfortable. Our guests couldn't believe that we hadn't known her more than 3 months! She felt like family the instant she walked into the room and I wish I would have asked her to stay for a glass of wine and dancing! Thank you for a seamless and heartfelt ceremony and for fixing my veil for the sake of our pictures! Cheers! xx

DiAnna was a breath of fresh air for us throughout the entire process. My husband and I were very nervous about finding a reverend that could incorporate his Episcopalian background and my Earthy spirituality. Not only did she take care to incorporate both my and my husband's identity into the ceremony, she was an open ear throughout the entire year leading up to the wedding and consistently went above and beyond the call of duty on our behalf. If it was a spiritual guide we needed, DiAnna was available. If it was an advocate we needed, Dianna was ready to go to bat for us. And if it was just an open ear, she was always a phone call away. She was thorough, kind and most importantly, she was FUN! She made the entire wedding ceremony planning process so comfortable and smooth. And our guests adored her as much as we did! We had several requests for her contact info after our wedding. We would recommend DiAnna to anyone of any faith.

I cannot express how happy we were to find Rev. DiAnna! She responded immediately with her availability and we set up a skype meeting shortly after. She took the time to get to know both of us and made our ceremony completely about us. It really seemed like she knew us for years. When she found out we wanted to hike to say "I do" she was totally up for the challenge. Rev. DiAnna even beat us up the mountain! There are several pictures where you can see her wiping tears from my eyes during the ceremony. Those are the moments I will forever cherish. We are so happy she was apart of the best day ever!

Rev. DiAnna did a fantastic job as our officiant! Not only was she responsive during the planning process - a huge relief as ours was a destination wedding - but her "love message" was personalized, interactive and poignant. She was absolutely phenomenal, and we could not have been luckier to have her as part of the wedding.

DiAnna Ritola was the perfect wedding officiant! She is kind, funny, and personable! She made sure to get to know me and my fiancé at a personal level to ensure our wedding day was the best it could be! She was always very quick to respond to changes and was there for us the whole way through!

Oh my goodness, I do not think there are enough words I could use to describe Rev. DiAnna and all the she did for my wife and I. When we were early on in the process our wedding planner set up a meeting between us and DiAnna, just to get a feel for her and see if she was the one we would like to be the officiant of our ceremony. Needless to say something clicked that morning over coffee as we met with Rev. DiAnna and we knew she was definitely the "one". She made the day about us, she took our words and eloquently blended them into a beautiful ceremony. We could not have asked for anything better, Rev. DiAnna was outstanding. She gave us plenty of options to choose from and allowed us to mold the ceremony in a way that we saw fit. As I said words cannot express the gratitude and gratefulness that my wife and I both have for Rev. DiAnna. If you have the chance, give her a chance, as I can promise you that you WILL NOT regret it!!!!

Our first officiant fell ill so we contacted DiAnna about 2 weeks before the wedding. She swiftly stepped in and helped us develop the ceremony script and our vows. She helped us create the perfect blend of humor, spiritual, traditional and personal touches to our ceremony in such a short time, while also getting to know us quickly and including some inside jokes. She saved our day. We are still getting compliments about how perfect the ceremony was.

We loved DiAnna! We are non traditional and really wanted a ceremony that represented who we are, DiAnna helped guide us to make the perfect ceremony and listened to all of our ideas and made them a reality. She made the process of constructing a ceremony and vows fun and easy. During the ceremony our 3 year old daughter decided to make a declaration that she had picked a flower for me, DiAnna let her talk and incorporated the flower into our hand tying ceremony. DiAnna is the best and we recommend her 100%!!!!

DiAnna was a great fit for us and truly seemed to get what were were trying to accomplish with our wedding even though it was a-typical in a lot of ways.

DiAnna was incredibly organised and helpful throughout the process of putting together our ceremony. She took our preferences/readings and created a ceremony that was the perfect mix of reverence and romance without being stuffy or overly formal. Despite only corresponding through Skype and email (we don't live in the area!), DiAnna did a fantastic job of creating something that felt like "us." If you want a total pro who's also still laid-back and accepting, we'd strongly recommend DiAnna!

Rev. DiAnna is possibly the best decision we made while planning our wedding. From our very first meeting, we felt completely comfortable talking to her and allowing her into our relationship and one of the biggest days of our lives thus far. She was incredibly receptive to our feedback of what kind of ceremony we were hoping for, and she executed it perfectly. Everyone, to this day, is still talking about how great she was and how our day wouldn't have been the same without her. It truly wouldn't have been. Rev. DiAnna - we are so grateful for you and the role you played in our wedding day. Thank you!!!

DiAnna was the perfect choice for our ceremony. She blended Christian tradition with our own beliefs about love and commitment and even injected a bit of humor. We love that she worked with us so closely to ensure our ceremony and vows were exactly what we wanted, down to the last detail. She was fun and friendly and so easy to work with, and everyone loved her. What she wrote for our ceremony was also beautiful and meaningful. We will never forget her awesome influence.

Rev. DiAnna was marvelous! On first meeting she was warm, inviting and felt like family, a kindred spirit. Her radiant smile matches her bright personality. She took great interest in listening to our vision for the ceremony and truly spent time collaborating with us in person, through a well thought-out questionnaire and emails as we were not locals. Our theme was a 1920s jazz era and Rev. Diana showed up with the perfect outfit and playfully adorned a beaded head-piece that Ashley custom made, dazzling the guests. She was all in, ready to bring her pizazz and peace to the sacred service. Her personality and charm was respectable, soothing, honorable, and commanded positive attention in a way that was selfless and also fun and entertaining. She brought light, levity and synchronicity to our ceremony, reverence to our words, and honored our choice to use symbolism and rituals during the ceremony. This made it unique and we felt that it was completely authentic to us and still made our family and friends, from various walks of life, feel comfortable and included. Everyone was able to have a sensory overload of all things love. There was a ton of laughter, depth and glory while keeping the most important part at the forfront- the fact that we were sharing our spiritual vows and sacred bonds to cherish and love eachother for aeons.
We hope you give yourselves this incredible gift of experience, knowledge, passion and charisma and chose Rev. DiAnna for your service. Everyone will be impressed and you'll always have phenomenal memories of the most important part of the wedding or any other event.

Rev. DiAnna was a wonderful officiant and made our wedding ceremony everything we wanted it to be. She took the time to get to know us via email and Skype and her words were beautiful and meaningful. We are so happy that she was a part of our wedding and that our ceremony was everything we hoped it would be.

DiAnna is an awesome person. If you are looking for somewhere who is accepting of all people, cultures, ethnicities, and religions, she is your girl. I was a bit worried about how to incorporate some spiritual components without it become too heavy in religion into our ceremony. DiAnna knew exactly what we wanted and did an absolutely wonderful job.

Badi and I come from two very different religious backgrounds and we wanted a special ceremony showing our spirituality and love while also being non denominational. Dianna personalized our ceremony perfectly, and took the time to get to know each of our personalities to make everything magical. She even did some pre marital counseling with us which was very helpful and comforting during the nervous times throughout the process as well. I would highly recommend her services because she is smart, versatile, and brings a loving a fun spirit to the room. Thank you so much for making our ceremony so wonderful!!!

Rev Dianna Ritola made sure to personalize our wedding to fit us perfectly. It was a destination wedding but she communicated with us throughout the wedding planning process to made sure our ceremony was special. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Reverend DiAnna Ritola married my partner and I. Rev. DiAnna is professional, very organized and punctual with everything. We were communicating largely through email because we were in a different state than where the ceremony was to take place. Rev. DiAnna made sure we took care of everything. She worked with us to give us a unique and meaningful ceremony. She did a beautiful job with the ceremony! I highly recommend Rev. DiAnna; she will work hard to give you a wonderful, personalized wedding ceremony! ~Kristi

DiAnna was exactly what we were looking for in an officiant for our wedding ceremony. She was warm, kind, and timely in her responses as we made preparations for our wedding. More than that, however, she worked with us to create a celebration of our love and commitment which was meaningful and unique to us. Although we had only communicated through email and telephone, when we met on the day of the ceremony it was as though we were old friends. She was a perfect fit for us, and we will always be grateful to her for expertly guiding us and helping us to express the essence of our love for each other and our family. Our family members stated over and over it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended, and we wholeheartedly agree!! Keith and Carrie Patton r

DiAnna was great! She really worked with us to make sure everything was the way we wanted it to be. She was also creative and helpful in coming up with different ways to incorporate our son into the wedding.
I really enjoyed meeting and working with DiAnna.

We were overjoyed to have Rev. DiAnna Ritola officiate for our wedding. As soon as we met her, we knew if we ever wanted to get married, that she would be the minister for us. She was a good sport considering the cold out of doors venue, (with the unexpected winter weather - Hell was trying to freeze over, we are sure), has a wonderful sense of humor, and a great understanding of what it takes to make an event special. Between all of our ideas for what a "simple, un-elaborate ceremony" would look like, we pulled it off and in record time. (There was only a week between the proposal and the wedding.) We had lots of compliments on how great it was. She helped to make the event special and perfect in every way. Jill & Jude

We couldn't have asked for a better Officiant. When we first met Rev DiAnna, it was like meeting up with an old friend. I felt comfortable with her immediately. We asked for a fun, light-hearted and quick, but meaningful ceremony and that was exactly what we got. So many of our guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was and my mom said it seemed like Rev DiAnna had known us for years. I would highly recommend Rev DiAnna to anybody looking for an officiant. She has charisma, stage presence and from how organized the rehearsal was I knew the actual event was going to be a success and it was. We can't say enough good things about Rev DiAnna Ritola!!!

What can we say about DiAnna? She is amazing, fantastic, a person with true heart, an amazing minister, and one of the most genuine, caring, and loving people that we have ever met. We were truly blessed to have found her.

DiAnna went above and beyond all expectations on every level. She worked with us closely and helped us design a ceremony that was truly us. We also used her for premarital counseling...which helped us feel much more prepared for married life together.

As for our ceremony, the only word that we can come up with to describe it is...perfection. It is rare to have a moment in time, especially one that you have dreamed about for so long, to be so perfect, magical and spiritual. There is literally nothing that we would have changed. We will carry our ceremony with us forever. Thank you DiAnna...from the bottom of our hearts. We love you.

(Oh, another side note...every one of our guests that we have spoken with about the ceremony told us that it was the most touching ceremony that they have ever had the pleasure of witnessing.)

What a ray of Sunshine. She got to know us with making each of us
fill out a questionnaire. Then incorporating it in the wedding ceremony.
DiAnna gave us many suggestions and let us design the ceremony.
What insight and so stress free. What a fabulous person. We have been
Blessed to have her plan and officiate our Wedding ~Dorthy & Melanie

Thanks so much!

"It was a true joy to work with DiAnna. My husband and I liked her instantly upon meeting her and felt a personal connection right away. She was not only professional and fun, she met with us several times at our request to personalize our ceremony. I enjoyed every moment of the ceremony and at times couldn't tell if she or I were smiling more. The specialized part of our ceremony, her own version of Hallelujah, the welcome and the love message were perfect for us. Her presence, her positive energy and her professionalism (without the starch) was incredible. It was everything my husband and I wanted. I wholeheartedly recommend Reverend DiAnna!!!!" ~Cheryl & Greg
