    Very personalized ceremony

    Rev Dan was so nice since wedding planning. He took the time to get to know us. His communication was pristine. He made the ceremony the most calming part of our union. He joined hispac catholic traditions from bride side, and serbian Orthodox traditions for the groom, to make sure we both felt connected with both of our wedding traditions. He went above and beyond to have a fantastic memory print out of our ceremony with our keepsake marriage certificates. His price is also amazing for the high-end level of ceremony service that he provides.

    Thank you so much for your kindness. You were a real joy to work with. It's people like you and your family that make my job easy and pleasing. You had a beautiful setting that added to the overall Ceremony . The added traditions really gave an exciting touch.
    The music was perfect. Even the dog added a special moment.

    Pastor Dan is truly the best there is

    We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Pastor Dan Thompson. Our wedding day simply would not have been the same without him. Pastor Dan went above and beyond to get to know us and our love story. He was so accommodating and instrumental in helping us to create our script. It was Pastor's Dan's suggestion to include a wine box ceremony (we had not heard of it) which turned out to be the most unique and special way to make our vineyard wedding personalized. We loved having Dan not only as our officiant but as a guest at our wedding and will forever be grateful to him for making our day perfect. Pastor Dan truly is the best choice and we feel so lucky to have had him marry us. Thank you so much Pastor Dan for making our wedding day so special!

    Thank you. It was my joy and delight.
    May you always be blessed . Now and forever more.
    People like you make this world a better place.

    Rev. Dan is your man

    My husband and I talked to quite a few reverends before finding Rev. Dan. He is so personable and really wants to get to know you and your story, this was very important to us. He was early to both the rehearsal and ceremony and was very flexible with our constantly changing wedding plans due to COVID. We really appreciated him being part of our special day and would recommend him to any future bride and groom that's looking for a great reverend!

    Weddings and Ceremonies by Dan's reply:

    Thank you so much. It was a joy to be a part of your life. I wish you the very best. It's people like you that makes life worthwhile.
    Even though you had to change the location everything turned out great.

    Best Pastor

    Pastor Dan was such a pleasure to work with to officiate our wedding. He is really funny and a great man. He felt like apart of our family! He took us out for dinner for our meet and greet. We also invited him to our rehearsal brunch. I highly recommend him!

    Wonderful!

    Pastor Dan did a wonderful job at our wedding. He and his assistant were very responsible leading up to the day. He even took us out to lunch to get to know us and discuss the details. We absolutely loved having him be a part of our special day and could not have asked for a better officiant. He is very kind and funny and everyone loved him!

    So wonderful!!

    Pastor Dan was wonderful at my wedding.

    We met up a couple times, have a few calls, and dozens of emails. He was very patient and I'm so glad he married my now husband and I. He added that nice soft touch with his words that my parents appreciated. I strongly recommend him

    Highly recommended

    Pastor Dan is amazing! He takes the time to meet the couples, he even took us out for lunch and we talked for hours. We definitely recommend him, he works with you in order to have the ceremony you want. His prices are VERY reasonable and he even got us a Spanish translator for those who didn't speak English at our ceremony. We are so grateful for all the work he did!

    Rev. Thompson performed the baptism of our son at our home. I'm so grateful that we found him, and would highly recommend him for any event. The ceremony was lovely -- heartfelt, dignified, but also with some humor. Rev. Thompson is friendly and outgoing -- my family raved about him after the christening. His fee is also very reasonable.

    Reverend Dan is fun, friendly, great at communication, driven, realistic, accommodating, and very reasonably priced. He is custom tailoring our ceremony. We felt comfortable once we met with him. And after the ceremony we are receiving a book on how to navigate rocky bumps in marriage, and a book with our ceremony printed in it. Great feelings about this officiant.

    Reverend Dan has been a friend of mine since we worked on a wedding together the wedding of the derecho storm in 2012. We have worked together on many weddings, some by chance and others where I referred him to my clients. He was the only person I considered to officiate our wedding. To me, he simply is the person that should get people married. It seems like his calling.

    He is generous with his time and is happy to meet and chat about the wedding and anything that may come up during the conversation. He is comfortable and helps put anxious brides at ease. His service was personal, intimate and powerful. I cannot thank Dan enough for being a part of my wedding day. It made all the difference in our ceremony and meaning behind it.

    Rev. Thompson was excellent. He was prompt in his emails and very courteous. We first met him over lunch during Christmas and he was very nice, asking us about our families and what we envisioned for our wedding. He respected our desire for a secular ceremony, and had 13 ceremony templates to choose from. He worked with us to include some things that were meaningful to us. Some of our guests thought our families had known him for years. He attended the rehearsal and the ceremony and was very reasonably priced (especially when compared to other officiants in the area). I would recommend him in a heart beat!

    Reverend Dan is the best. We found Reverend Dan on Thumbtack and set up a meeting. He was incredibly sweet and brought a gift for us on our first meeting! We hadn't even booked him yet and found that to be such a nice gesture. Rev. Dan has many, many years of experience and he is great at what he does! He sent us four ceremonies to choose from since we weren't sure where to start. From there, we combined pieces from each and created our own custom ceremony. He also asked if we would like to include any religious or cultural pieces. We found the history behind the term "tying the knot" and we were able to incorporate a beautiful segment into the ceremony with this. The mother of the groom and mother of the bride were ushered up by the youngest brothers and tied two pieces of ribbon together. From there Rev Dan tied our hands together and said an Irish prayer. It was beautiful and we received so many compliments from our guests. Rev Dan arrived on time and well dressed for both our rehearsal and the wedding. His price is also considerably less than anyone else around. Regardless of price, we were going with Rev Dan! We consider him a personal friend now and I would absolutely recommend him for your wedding.

    Pastor Dan was just amazing! He was so easy to communicate with, for our first meeting he took us out to lunch. I was a bit hesitant to go to lunch with a random person I never met, I thought it would be really awkward. I have never had such a pleasant easygoing lunch with a person I just met. He was so much fun! We learned a lot about him and his family; he was very interested in learning about us. As soon as we left, we knew we wanted him to marry us. Oh and we were VERY picky when it came to finding a person to marry us. Pastor called me few weeks before the wedding to make sure we have everything ready, he offered to bring any props that we needs, sand, candles. We had sand ceremony as well as stomping on the glass, he took care of the glass and napkin in our wedding color. He was great during ceremony, had few jokes and advices, but not too much to make a circus out of our wedding. He was just absolutely great, I would recommend him to anyone! Oh and I have!

    Reverend Dan Thompson was wonderful to work with. He has 4 different ceremony selections that we got to choose from. He also gave us some pre-martial videos to watch with a follow-along booklet. We met with him a few times to go over ceremony details. He was willing to meet with us whenever we wanted. He was prompt in returning emails and arrived to our rehearsal and ceremony on time (in fact very early). He was a pleasure to work with and our ceremony was beautiful! I would highly recommend him to anyone! His fee was about $200 for everything.

    Reverend Thompson was actually referred to us by another Reverand that we had contacted that had recently retired from officiating weddings. We were very pleased when we met with Reverend Thompson as he was very well versed both in speaking and experience in ministry as well as being able to relate to us as a couple which made it a little more personal at the ceremony which is what we were looking for.

    He was very flexible in being able to meet with us a couple of times prior to our wedding as well as he joined us at the Rehearsal and Rehearsal dinner. He provided us with a couple of different templates to choose from for our ceremony outline which was nice to be able to have options and to put together exactly what we wanted in our ceremony.
