Elisabeth Sent on 02/14/2025Thanks Steven!

Amy Y. Sent on 12/29/2024Highly Recommend!
We are so grateful to have had Steven as part of our wedding day. After meeting him at a wedding expo, we immediately felt at ease with him. Both of us were a little nervous about being the center of attention, so we wanted an officiant who was professional yet charismatic, someone who could help us feel comfortable – and Steven did just that. He created a relaxed, joyful atmosphere that allowed us to truly enjoy every moment of the ceremony.
The planning process was smooth and stress-free. We met with Steven a week before the wedding to finalize the details and customize the ceremony. He even suggested a few thoughtful touches we hadn’t considered. Communication was easy, and...Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:

Steven was incredibly flexible and helpful in planning our big day. He worked with our schedules and did not shy away from humor or uniqueness in his ceremony speech for us.

Sa Sent on 07/13/2023A joy to work with!
If you are looking for an officiant, look no further than Steven Dembow! Steven was exceptional to work with and made the process of creating our ceremony fun.

![Margaret]()
Margaret Sent on 06/26/2023Thank you Steven :)
Steven was a wonderful officiant! It was clear that Steven was comfortable and confident and was able to spread that vibe to my husband and I. Steven reminded us to be ourselves during the ceremony and enjoy the day, and we sure did! Steven was professional, kind, and full of a great sense of humor. Steven was also really great about providing helpful information about the marriage license and was truly a joy :) Our guests loved him as well! Thanks again, Steven!Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Good afternoon Margaret and Kevin: It was my great pleasure to have been of service to you on your very special day, and I am so happy that the weather cooperated with your plans!

![Michelle]()
Michelle Sent on 01/04/2023Amazing officiant!
We reached out to Steven through WeddingWire after reading all of the great reviews and had our first zoom call with him shortly after, both my Husband and I knew right away we wanted him to officiate our wedding. We had another call closer to the wedding to go through the details of the ceremony and Steven offered a lot of great suggestions and ideas of things we could incorporate into the ceremony. He's very personable and incorporated our love story plus a little bit of humor into the ceremony. We highly recommend Steven!Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Good morning Michelle (and Ryan): Many thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts on your recent ceremony! It was my pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with you both, and I am happy that you were pleased with the way everything went ... Best wishes - always! Kind regards, Steven -
![Erin]()
Erin Sent on 11/27/2022Simply the BEST!
Steven was the absolute best JP we could have asked for! He created a wedding ceremony that reflected my husband and I perfectly. And then was able to take that ceremony and edit it on the fly to make sure we fit in the ceremony before a stubborn rain cloud made its appearance on our wedding day. His timing was impeccable! We felt incredibly special during our ceremony and our guests have had nothing but amazing things to say about our officiant. Steven did a fantastic job, and we are forever grateful!Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Good evening Erin & Ryan: Many, many thanks for adding your kind comments! I am very happy that everything went well with your ceremony and that you and your guests were pleased. I could never have done it without you!!! Best wishes, always ... Steven -
![Lindsey]()
Lindsey Sent on 11/09/2022The best jp!!
Steven was truly the best JP we could have had for our ceremony last month. The first time we met him we immediately felt like we had known him for years! Steven wrote an amazing ceremony for us, It was everything we could have asked for and more. Our guests raved about him as well! Steven went above and beyond in his role. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a JP!!Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Good evening Lindsey & Tyler: Thank you both for submitting your review of my services on Wedding Wire! The pleasure was all mine, believe me ... so happy I was available to serve as your officiant.

![Lyn]()
Lyn M. Sent on 09/15/2022Warm, Genuine, & Full of Personality; Puts together a beautiful ceremony
I wanted to make sure that I sat down and wrote out a special thank you to Steven M. Dembow before anyone else because he gave us a beautiful, meaningful and very special wedding ceremony that we - and our family and friends - loved! My instincts are rarely wrong. I had a feeling when I spotted his profile last Spring. I knew he was the right one to marry us. From our first Zoom meeting, through our “just touching base” emails, to our ceremony planning meeting, he was absolutely fabulous! His down-to-earth, warm and patient personality made working with him on our ceremony so completely stress-free. He was so compassionate and supportive of us as we dealt with...Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Good morning Lyn & Steven: I cannot overstate how much your kind comments have meant to me. I was just doing my job – hopefully the way I would approach it for any other couple. There is no genius to what I do – it is simply listening, engaging, understanding, writing and speaking. It makes me feel so good to know that I was able to successfully deliver on those things. I wish you both all the best in your married life together! Kind regards, Steven -

![Judi]()
Judi Sent on 02/13/2022Judi Roy, bride
Steven Dembow was great from our first conversation to our wedding day. Planning a wedding from a distance can be challenging but not with Steven. We went back and forth with phone calls and emails. He was always attentive, listening to my thoughts and making me at ease with the whole process. Wedding day came and I was so nervous I didn’t know what to do. I told Steven my fears over the phone and he listened and assured me everything would be beautiful. I asked him to come find me before the wedding just so we could chat. He did and was happy to do such. Steven thank you from the bottom of my heart. This was the...Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Dear Judi & Allen: What a beautiful day it was! I am so happy everything went as I said it would, and I thank you both for letting me have the honor. You have a lovely family, and I wish you all the best of everything in the years to come! Congratulations! Steven -

![Bill]()
Bill Sent on 01/30/2022Perfect in Every Way
Steve Dembow is not your average wedding officiant - you’ll see that from the first time you talk to him.
He is an absolute professional and a gifted master of ceremonies, as one would expect from someone with his stellar reputation. But the real magic that Steve brought to the table is far less common - he found a way to reflect our personal styles in the proceedings while still respecting traditions.
Our biggest anxiety with the wedding ceremony was that it would be boring for our guests. We knew the event would be meaningful and it would be special. But would it be fun? Would it be memorable? Would it be tasteful but funny?
...Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Good morning Bill (and Melanie): I couldn't have said it better myself! Thank you so much for that glowing review! Despite the challenges of planning a long-distance wedding weekend - in the middle of a pandemic, no less - I think it is fair to say that it was a smashing success, not only for the two of you, but also for your many guests who traveled from near and far (mostly far!). Thank you for honoring me with the pleasure of marrying you - my first wedding in Arizona! Steve -

![Audrey]()
Audrey Sent on 12/05/2021Loved Steve’s light hearted humor
I met Steven at a wedding expo in 2019 when we started planning our wedding for July 2020. I loved his attitude, quick wit, and sensitivity from the beginning and our decision was made very early on that we wanted Steve to officiate our fun day. Pandemic hit, and we had to postpone our big celebration by a year. Not only did we have Steven perform a small family ceremony in our backyard during 2020, but we also had him come back to perform our “big day” with all our friends a year later in 2021. I highly recommend!Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Hello Audrey & Dave: Many thanks for your lovely words! I truly enjoyed our "banter" throughout the process (mostly between Audrey & myself!) and I was delighted to not only "serve" once, but "twice." Let me know when you're up for a vow renewal, and we'll go for a "third!" Kind regards, Steven

![Darlene]()
Darlene Sent on 09/07/2021The best JP you can book!
There are not enough words to express how much my entire family loved Steven's service.
I am the Mother of the Bride. I spent many hours researching for an officiant and found Steven. I'm so glad I chose him.
Steven is very knowledgeable but also has a wonderful humor. He was perfect for the couple's wedding. He was wonderful with my Granddaughter and Great nephew.
My daughter and now son in law were very pleased with him.
Steven thank you so much! I will never forget you! If we ever need someone again you will be getting a call for sure!Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Hello Darlene! Wow! I am blushing!!! I am so happy everyone was pleased with the ceremony, and it was my pleasure to have met so many wonderful family members and friends. As I told you and your husband, your daughter is in very good hands with her choice of a husband; it's just too bad they live so far away... Be well, Steven -

Christina Sent on 08/15/2021Steven was GREAT!
I really can't say enough about Steven. He was a wonderful officiant for our wedding and our ceremony was exactly what we wanted it to be. Steven is very easy to talk to and gave lots of helpful suggestions to us. We really wanted a lighthearted ceremony and many of our guests commented about how memorable our wedding was. Thank you Steven!Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Hi Christina & Tom: Such lovely words - and with that, my thanks ... not only for them, but for the opportunity I had to meet and celebrate your marriage with your family, friends, and, need I mention, the star of the show, your little one, Addy! Best of everything to you all! Kind regards, Steven -

Kevin Sent on 03/08/2021Last Minute Bliss
From start to finish, Steven was the best! It’s very apparent he cherishes the importance and meaning of marriage. From his quick response ,his helping hand with the last minute decorations, to the amazing Ceremony he performed, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!! So much so that we are going to have him do our reception in the summer!!Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Dear Kevin & Jacki: Lovely words to hear!!! I am so happy I was available to officiate your ceremony on such short notice; it was a pleasure meeting all of you - and I trust everyone has warmed up since! I look forward to our "repeat performance" this summer... Kind regards, Steven -

![Alyssa]()
Alyssa Sent on 12/28/2020Steven is the Best!
My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding officiant! As you can imagine, a pandemic wedding was even more stressful than a regular wedding. Steven was there every step of the way reassuring us and helping us. He walked us through getting our marriage licenses and even told us about a document that we could fill out to make it easier. Steven met with us twice in person and was always available by email. He attended our rehearsal and made sure everything was perfect. He is funny, relatable, professional, and the touches he added in to our ceremony were perfect. We highly recommend Steven, we couldn't have asked for a better officiant.Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Hello Alyssa & Chuck: Many, many thanks for taking the time to add your comments about your wedding ceremony! I appreciate your kind words and hope that other couples searching for the right officiant will find them helpful. Best wishes to you both in the New Year! Kind regards, Steven -

Elizabeth Sent on 09/21/2020Part Une of our adventure with Steven
We met with Steven after our original JP was unable to perform our service due to covid. We immediately felt comfortable with him, and he matched our banter with fun. Planning with Steven during COVID was a breeze and he is so easy to chat with. He performed part one of our wedding this year on 9/12/20 with our closest friends and relatives. Everyone raved about how perfect the ceremony was, and we had a mix of tears and laughter! We all cannot wait to see what next years “renewal” will look like as he performs part deux! Don’t hesitate if you want that personal yet fun ceremony! Thanks Steven!Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Hey Liz & Rob: You mean we're gonna' have to do this all over again next year? GREAT - I can't wait!!! I promise it will be even better then - with family and friends to share in your joy! Thanks for asking me to do this for you!!! Kind regards, Steven

Mackenzie Sent on 03/14/2020Very personable and accommodating!
Steven was recommended to us through a friend. He is very personable and he even attended my husband's gig that he played the drums for in town. What he wrote for our ceremony was beautiful and he made sure to continually send us drafts to make sure everything was correct. I would highly recommend Steven! -

Sarah Sent on 10/28/2019Just what we wanted
Steven was incredible, it was very important to my husband and I to incorporate humor in our ceremony and Steven did just that. He responded quickly to any question I had. I tried my best not to be a bridezilla and he did an amazing job putting me and my anxiety at ease.Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:
Good morning Sarah! Apparently, your definition of a "bridezilla" and mind are quite different! I thoroughly enjoyed working with you, Joe, the kids and your bridal party and family, and I thank you, once again, for asking me to officiate your ceremony. I wish you and yours all the best in the future! Kind regards, Steven
