    September Wedding Ceremony

    We got married at the end of September in Washington County. We reached out to Derek a few months before our wedding and used his services, with Sara as our officiant. There was no additional charge for travel, which was just one highlight of using these services. We cannot speak highly enough about the both of them. They were easy to work with, communicated frequently, met with us when needed, and wrote us the most beautiful, heartfelt ceremony. We got many compliments about how wonderful the ceremony was. My husband and I are not very religious, but we wanted the ceremony to feel special and spiritual. Derek did a fantastic job creating the perfect ceremony for us. They were also very helpful in getting our marriage license. We highly recommend Derek and The Celebration Center for an amazing wedding ceremony!

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Hi Taylor and Justin, thank you very much for the great review! My Officiant team and myself are really glad you enjoyed our work. But a lot of the credit goes to you also for providing the beautiful personal touches that I believe really made your ceremony stand out. You were fun and personable to work with and Sara and I really enjoyed creating the wording for your 'big day'. We strive to do our best with every aspect of a marriage and that includes giving you all the information needed to obtain your marriage certificate and any and all follow up details. Wishing you all the best life has to offer as you continue to add new chapters to your life experience.

    Highly Recommend!

    My husband and I highly recommend using Derek as your officiant! He was amazing to work with and made the whole process so easy! We did not want a religious ceremony and he gave us many different versions of the ceremony that we could pick and choose to fit to us. We will definitely recommend him to anyone.

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Greetings Mariah and Zach, I really appreciate both of you and am so grateful for your wonderful assessment of my Officiant services. Your ceremony was fantastic! I had a great time creating a prefect ceremony with both of you. Having over a year to work with you, I really felt I got to know both of you very well and am glad to consider you my friends. Enjoy each other and always have fun while crating beautiful memories!

    Derek is the perfect wedding officiant!

    Derek was the BEST person to lead our wedding ceremony. He brought unparalleled professionalism and joy to our day. He took the time to get to know us and write an amazing ceremony script that was perfect for us. I would give 1000 stars instead of 5 if I could.

    We felt incredibly supported throughout the entire process. The ceremony went incredibly smooth, thanks to Derek’s direction and thoughtful guidance. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony. We highly recommend Derek to any couple looking for a wedding officiant who will make their day perfect!! - Jesse and Kasey

    Wedding Officiant 11/10- Do Not Miss Working with Derek!

    My wife and I recently got married and had our ceremony officiated by Derek Dube from World of Wisdom Ministry. Words cannot begin to express our gratitude and satisfaction with Derek's services.

    My wife and I originally interviewed several officiants who all tried to act as the "perfect" fit, but Derek is the only one that truly is. From our initial call with him, we could tell he was authentic and genuinely interested in getting to know us and learning more about our lives. That conversation was very informative, comfortable, and fun- we knew immediately that there was no other choice.

    Following the call, Derek was was just as wonderful throughout the planning process. He is responsive, professional, and provides multiple resources to help prepare your wedding ceremony. We enjoyed building our ceremony with him and having the ability to make it personal to fit us.

    On the day of, he is the best officiant because you already feel like you have been friends forever- he makes you feel very calm. We had several guests compliment his ceremony and mentioned that they enjoyed his blessing at our reception.

    We are so honored and grateful to have shared our day with him by our side. If you need an officiant, do not miss the opportunity to work with Derek. He is a gem and a season pro at wedding officiating!

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Hi Alex and Mikayla, wow - what a sweet review! You two are also gems and I am sure you feel the same about each other. I totally enjoyed the process we shared co-creating your special day. Working with both of you was such a wonderful experience for me. You modeled what it means to be in Love - and I mean that from the bottom of my heart! Everyone one of your guests that I had the pleasure of speaking with at your rehearsal, your ceremony and your reception - made it unanimous - you are GREAT together. The song that you sang at your ceremony was spectacular and added a intimate touch to who you both truly are. I am glad to be friends with you on FaceBook, that way I can follow all the great adventures that will be coming your way. You are a 'perfect fit for each other

    Very much recommend!

    Derek helped us so much with planning our ceremony. There were a lot of elements we wanted to include like readings from our family, rituals, personal vows, etc. and he provided so many resources and ideas for each. Once he had our favorites, he put everything in order and frequently checked in to make sure it was everything we wanted and to address any questions or concerns. The day before he was extremely helpful in coordinating our rehearsal and even offered to bring in his own podium after realizing our venue didn’t have one. It fit perfectly with our decor! The ceremony went beautifully and we received so many compliments. A lot of our communication was done via email which was convenient since we planning our wedding in just a matter of months. I would recommend any couple to use him but maybe schedule an additional phone call or in person meeting to get to know him and give him a chance for him to meet you. But even without that, I felt the ceremony really matched my husband’s and my personalities, beliefs, and wants.

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Hi Megan and Ted, thank you very much for the wonderful review of my Officiant services. I really appreciated working with both of you over these past few months to co-create what I believe was a beautiful wedding ceremony and this was communicated to me after the ceremony from many of your friends and family member. I offer my podium to all couples and about 50 % of the time they use it. It was podium that I was Ordained with in 1997. Thank you for the honor of allowing me to be a part of your 'big day'! I am happy to call you friends and look forward to hearing all the great experiences you will enjoy for may many years to come.

    Great Officiant in Milwaukee Area

    We worked with Derek to plan our August 2024 ceremony. He was quick to communicate, give us advice, and had great tips and tricks to make sure our day was perfect. We were able to customize our ceremony to how we wanted it with plenty of options provided by Derek. If you are looking for an officiant for your wedding, look no further!

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Hello Madeline and Nicholas, thank you for the wonderful assessment! I really enjoyed working with both of you to create such a pleasant wedding. I had a great time meeting your friends and family after the ceremony and enjoyed all the great comments they shared with me about the two of you. Wishing you the best as you continue writing new chapters in your book of life.

    Not a dry eye in the place!

    Derek was wonderful to work with. He was professional, knowledgable, and easy to work with. Derek helped us craft a beautiful ceremony that our guests loved and complimented (and almost everyone cried). We felt his personality matched us as a couple and was a great fit for us and our guests. Derek walked us through the entire process, provided constructive and quality feedback and ideas, and communicated effectively. We would absolutely recommend Derek to anyone in need of an officiant. Thank you again Derek!

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Hi McKenzie and Cody. Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review of my Officiant services - you are both greatly appreciated! I really pride myself in quick communication with all the couples that I have the pleasure of working with - it is so important to be timely with everyone since I know how stressful planning a wedding can be. I try to be as helpful as I can regarding my 25 years of experience to assist the couple in any way I can, including tips about rehearsals, writing your own vows, ring exchange and vows wording, including families and friends into the ceremony, readings, rituals (sand, candle, tree planting, etc,), applying for your marriage license, and so much more. Not only was it Joy Celebrating both of you on your 'big day' but I am honored to call you my friend!

    Very responsive to our requests.

    Derek was very responsive and accommodating to what we wanted in our ceremony. He cared about all of the details of the ceremony and took pride in making it special. Derek offered some creative ideas that we ended up using.

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Simply Amazing

    Derek was a pleasure to work with. Very professional but also has a great sense of humor that helped tremendously the day of our wedding when I was feeling a little stressed out lol. Even though our wedding date was over a year and a half out from when we first contacted Derek, he was always there for us, and always checking in with us.
    What I like most about him, was he let us do things our way, and did our ceremony just how we wanted.
    Never once did he try and talk us into anything we didn't want to do. He has lots of good information, quick responses to emails, a just a great guy all around. I highly recommend and if I could give more than 5 stars I would. Absolutely amazing!!

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Hello Jess and Brian, thank you for the heartfelt words - you are so sweet! I am so glad to have been there for you. I know you shared that you had a little stress leading up to your 'big day' and I was happy to relieve some of that that by letting you know that your day would be just perfect however it turned out. And boy, did it turn out beautifully. I enjoyed working with you and co-creating your customized ceremony so much. I spoke with many of your guests after the ceremony and they thought it was personal, unique and perfect for your personalities. Thank you so much for the honor of helping you start this new journey in your lives. I wish you all the best experiences that life brings you.

    Kind and caring wedding officiant

    Derek was a very kind and flexible wedding officiant! He was involved throughout our planning process and did an amazing job with our ceremony. Afterwards, many guests commented how personal and romantic our ceremony was and that it was one of the highlights of the day. Could not recommend him more highly and think that he always brings his best to the table!

The ceremony itself was so heartfelt (your personal vows - WOW!) And the readings were spot on. I really enjoyed the speeches at the reception. I love dancing (my mother was a dance instructor). The live music of the Bluewater Kings Band was an excellent touch throughout the evening. Many blessings to both of you as you write new chapters together throughout the years!

    Wonderful Experience

    My partner and I were looking for a wedding officiant to assist us with preparing a Christian ceremony for our upcoming wedding. We had researched a handful of officiants, but really it wasn't until we met Derek that we knew he was exactly who we should work with. Derek was attentive, responsive, helpful, and kind throughout the entire process of drafting our ceremony. His notes and insights were invaluable in allowing us to create the perfect ceremony that exemplified ourselves and our values. We can't recommend Derek enough to any prospective couples!

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Good morning Libby and Connor, thanks for the kind words, I am so glad that my 20 plus years of experience as an Officiant paid off for you. The three of us certainly added many unique aspects to your wedding ceremony. I am so glad to have met you and was honored to be of service to you as your Officiant. Wishing you both many years of Bliss on this new journey!

    Derek was amazing!

    I highly recommend choosing Derek Dube to be your officiant for your Wedding! He was so kind and open to all ideas we had to make our Ceremony unique to us. We were able to do a week of wedding phone call with him and he answered all of our questions and gave us some very helpful tips for the wedding day.

    Great officiant choice.

    Derek was great. We met in person so he could get a feel for what kind of a ceremony we were hoping to have. He quickly emailed some general drafts for multiple styles of weddings. From those drafts we picked parts we liked, added in some of our own things. Derek looked over it and offered suggestions based on his experience while making it clear it was all up to us. It was sooo helpful having him there for the rehearsal. He just knows where people should be and has the flow of it down. The day of went smooth as can be.

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Hello Jessica and Mike, I see you picked up on how a rehearsal moves so smoothly. I enjoy rehearsals very much as they are a great deal of fun! Working together on your ceremony was such a pleasure and I so appreciated your input to make your wedding day wonderful and personal. I look forward to keeping up with you on social media to see the exceptional experiences you two enjoy together as you travel this new path.

    Purely wonderful!

    Derek was so wonderful and helpful throughout the whole process from the time that we first met him all the way to the time that my now husband and I got married! Explained everything! He was helpful in providing suggestions all the way up to helping write our vows! He was so helpful with the rehearsal dinner and ceremony!

    Wow - what a beautiful wedding ceremony and venue. I thought everything was perfect including the entire process of co-creating your ceremony. Rachel and Chris, I am so glad to have met you and be a part of your 'big day'! It was an honor and a pleasure to work these past few months to put together a wedding ceremony that you and your guests will remember for many, many years to come. Wishing you both all the best on life's journey!

    Absolutely incredible!

    Dereck was a fantastic officiant for our ceremony! We are so blessed to have found him. He truly made our ceremony special and unique to us. He provided so many great ideas, listened to feedback, and worked with us for hours to ensure that my husband and I had the ceremony we wanted. He is such a caring and sweet person that I would recommend to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding day!

    Hi Shannon and Sean, thank you so much for the beautiful words! I am glad that we were able to create such a beautiful ceremony for you and your guests. I do not Officiate many weddings in a church setting, but when I do, I totally enjoy the atmosphere. The Calvary Presbyterian Church in Milwaukee is breathtaking. I spoke with many of your guests (family and friends) and it's unanimous - they think the two of your are perfect for each other and they thought that the ceremony wording was perfect as well. Many Blessings to both of you on life's journey.

    We LOVED our ceremony!

    Derek was an amazing officiant for our wedding ceremony and we would absolutely work with him again if we had to redo our day! He was very responsive and provided us with so many options and examples for our ceremony. We picked one of his examples and added some parts from a different example in and created the perfect ceremony!
    Our friends and family have raved about our ceremony and several people told us that it was the best ceremony they have experienced. We were told by our guests that they loved listening to Derek and the ceremony was so unique!
    We are extremely happy with our choice and we couldn't imagine our ceremony without Derek :) He made our ceremony feel so intimate, unique but never boring! We would recommend him to anybody!

    World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

    Wow, awesome photos! Thank you so much for the honor of helping you celebrate this new journey in your lives. I enjoyed our time together very much (co-creating your ceremony, talking on the phone, emails, your rehearsal and of course, your 'big day'! It was such a beautiful day and I'm sure the memories will last forever. You are a very fun couple and the love that you share is contagious. The many guests that I spoke with confirmed how special you both are. I look forward to hearing about all the great experiences to come.

    Derek was exactly what we were looking for in an officiant!

    My wife and I were in need of an officiant and had no idea of where to start to look for one. We searched around and came across weddingwire. From there we found Derek and read through some reviews. At that point we had a good initial gut feeling about him and scheduled a meeting with him. The meeting went great and we both felt very comfortable with how he handled himself and how organized he was. We knew he was the right fit so we decided to move forward with his services right away. The most important take away from his services was how helpful he was in helping plan the ceremony. He had a lot to offer in giving us plenty of options and direction, in turn removing a lot of the stress that normally comes with planning a wedding. The ceremony went exactly as planned and exceeded our expectations. He offers a very relaxing presence, a sense of humor, and a very kind personality. We both highly recommend his services if you’re in need of an officiant! Thanks Derek!

    Hello Zac and Tina, your Easter weekend wedding was so beautiful and intimate with roughly 12 guests. It was such a joy to meet both of you and your immediate family members. I absolutely loved the reading that you chose entitled, 'The Promises of Marriage' by Bettie Meeks. It fit the two of you perfectly! I look forward to hearing all the great adventures the two of you will share over many years to come. Blessings, Derek.
