    Best Officiant Ever!

    Rev. Dan was incredible....hands down. My husband and I were in between churches at the time and did not have someone to officiate our wedding.
    We met Rev. Dan once before the wedding, yet he felt so familiar to us. He was very attentive and made sure he caught what was important during our ceremony. Everything was perfect and Rev. Dan will always have a special place in our hearts!

    Thank you Rev. Dan for everything!

    Absolutely perfect!

    Dan made everything perfect on our special day. From handling the license to the ceremony itself, Dan was a tremendous asset from beginning to end. If you want someone who will take all of the stress out of the officiant process then Dan is your guy. His ceremony was perfect and he was extremely communicative and proactive through the entire process. Ton of experience and a truly wonderful, genuine person, I could not recommend him enough.

    SO many compliments!

    Since our wedding, we have received so many compliments on our ceremony preached by Dr. Dan. He worked with us every step of the way to create a ceremony that was intimate, appropriately lengthed, and meaningful. He was such a pleasure to work with, explaining how to get our marriage license online in SC (We were from out of state.), and then neatly packaging up information on how to change my name afterwards with our copy of the license after the ceremony. I cannot recommend him enough!

    Excellent Renewal of Vow's Ceremony

    Dr. Hogan was extremely personable and professional as we worked through the details of our vow's ceremony. This was a surprise for my wife as it was our 30th wedding anniversary, and we honeymooned at Hilton Head, so I wanted this to be extra special.

    Dr Hogan listened to the stories I shared and created a specific and special service for the occasion.

    I would highly recommend him.

    Excellent experience!

    Dr. Hogan was an incredible part of our wedding experience; he was so supportive in the planning process, meeting with us twice ahead of our wedding to talk about this next step in our lives & to rehearse everything so we would feel prepared.

    He was very communicative & made a point to make our ceremony unique to us. We got many compliments from guests that they felt it was such a special & intimate event to be part of, which is exactly what we were hoping for. We can't say enough about how great the experience was.

    We would highly recommend Dr. Hogan time & time again!!

    Very Responsive and Accommodating

    From the being of the planning stage to end of the special day, Dr. Dan was there. He offered several different ceremonies and allowed us to tailor it to fit the bride and groom perfectly. The ceremony was great. Afterwards, he took care of all the "official" documentation including getting the paperwork to the appropriate county agency.
    I wish I had more time to talk with him. He is a very caring person and has a lot of wisdom.

    Most Amazing Experience

    Rev. Dr. Dan will forever be in our thoughts and prayers. He went way above my expectations and displayed not only professionalism but a deep understanding of what my vision was. He showed concern, respect and humbleness. Thank you my friend for your blessings!

    Comforting

    My fiance and I felt very comfortable with Dan from the very first time we met. We loved the selection of ceremonies and also that we were able to use his templates to create our own. Dan was available to answer all our questions and we were specially grateful for our walkthrough a few days before the ceremony. During the ceremony. Dan was sure that everyone was comfortable and he handled it like a pro. We highly recommend his services.

    Outstanding officiant

    Dr. Dan Hogan was instrumental in making the wedding a complete success. He listened so carefully to the couple and accommodated their every need.

    Practiced, helpful, professional and flexible

    Dr. Hogan helped make our ceremony a perfect, beautiful moment. He was able to deliver exactly what we wanted and he provided invaluable advice before, during, and after the ceremony. It was a blessing to have someone who is very practiced and able to answer any questions we had before and after. He was also very flexible with meeting in person which was helpful with the (inevitable) chaos of doing a destination wedding.

    Compassionate and well thought out vow renewal ceremony!

    We have known Dr. Dan Hogan for approximately 20 years as he was the pastor that first married us. We wanted him to marry us after we attended a wedding he officiated because he was so compassionate and personable. When it came time to renew our vows 20 years later, we were ecstatic that he was still performing ceremonies. He put a lot of thought and care into our renewal vows, backstory, and prayers for us. It was a day we will never forget. He also took care of all the details and recommended several different places and was very accommodating with our schedule as to the day and time we needed. We are beyond grateful to him and his continued ministry. It would be hard to find a more caring person to officiate a wedding or renewal ceremony.

    Best of the best!

    Dan is amazing! Spent the perfect amount of time with us and our baby. Truly made the wedding unique and special. Was so fantastic that he made my grandmother cry tears of happiness and verbatim said “I felt like I was in the world’s most beautiful church but on the beach!”

    Dan was extraordinary! Would highly recommend him any day of the week! Best in all of South Carolina!

    Perfection! Very Responsive, Professional, Dependable

    Working with Dan was amazing!! Stop searching and contact him now!!!! He’s very responsive to all communication and helps create a ceremony that is memorable. He walked us through everything we needed, there was no guesswork and he’s so very, very nice and so easy to work with. This was by far once of the very best, and simple parts of the wedding. We were super comfortable with him and there were zero doubts about how much he cared to make our ceremony “ours”, memorable, and meaningful and he really cares about you both as a couple. He is very prompt and arrives early which will put a nervous bride at ease! He is so experienced he even knows when to pop out of the way so your photographer gets those amazing pictures of just the couple!!!

    We opted to do the Myers Briggs assessment as well to learn more about ourselves as individuals so we could better communicate as a couple, and Dan walked us through our individual styles and pointed out our strengths we each bring to the marriage. Even though we’ve been a couple for years, it was great to have the information and learn about each other.

    Hiring Dan was a decision we don’t regret or question for one second! Reach out to him and you won’t be disappointed. He’s awesome!

    Thank you, Dr. Dan for a ceremony we’ll never forget… for all the BEST reasons ❤️

    Compassionate and flexible officiant

    I had my wedding in South Carolina, which is a destination wedding for me. However, when we got in contact with Dan he immediately guided us through the process to get the license, and set up a meeting with us prior to to sign our application. He genuinely cared for us as a couple and our wedding was beautiful.

    Outstanding Officiant

    We had an amazing experience working with Dr. Hogan as our officiant. He took the time to get to know us before our big day, customized our ceremony in a way that reflected us, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the process. He was very professional and fun to work with and made it a truly special ceremony. We are very grateful to have crossed paths with him and would recommend him as an officiant to anyone!

    Vow Renewal

    We celebrated our 15 year vow renewal on the beach with Minister Dan Hogan. He was so responsive and thoughtful helping us create our ceremony! He was flexible on timing and such a nice guy. We highly recommend him and plan to call him again to celebrate our 25th!

    Great experience!

    We were very impressed with Dr Dan Hogan and so happy with his work and professionalism and warmth during the duration of our wedding planning. We weren’t sure if we wanted to go with a friend to marry us or take the route of someone more experienced, but we ultimately felt that an experienced officiant would be best and he delivered! He responds within 24 hours and lets you customize your ceremony as little or as much as you’d like and you know exactly what you are getting with no surprises. We are so thrilled we decided to work with him. We would recommend him to anyone!

    Dr. Dan is a joy to work with for your special occasion. He gave us helpful information regarding seeking a wedding license for out-of-state couples. He was prompt to reply as questions arose. He gave a beautiful message to the bride and groom. I highly recommend Dr. Dan for your special occasion. He is a professional from start to finish.

    Dr. Hogan was our wedding officiant.

    Dr. Hogan was absolutely wonderful to work with and truly gave us the wedding ceremony of our dreams. He allowed us to use a wording that fit us as a couple and that we were comfortable with. He really went out of his way to get to know my husband and I and made a personalized ceremony that fit us. We read our own vows and he beautifully worked that into our ceremony. He went above and beyond and we couldn't have asked for a better officiant. He was also extremely helpful with assisting us in obtaining all necessary paperwork and documentation. We can't recommend Dr. Hogan enough!

    Trampe Wedding

    We found Dr. Dan Hogan while looking for an officiant in the Beaufort County, SC area to officiate our wedding. After just the first phone call we knew how perfect Dan was going to be. He was extremely kind, friendly, and made us feel comfortable in front of all our friends and family. He took time to get to know us, and we both had an amazing experience getting to know him. He also was very helpful with organizing the ceremony, having a number of templates to help guide us, giving both religious and non-religious options. I could not recommend Dan enough, he was the perfect leader of our ceremony. Thank you so much, Dan! We really loved working with you! - Tim and Kelly
