Adam Sent on 07/19/2024The Best wedding officiant we could have asked for!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Derek Dube as our wedding officiant for our ceremony at The Commodore on Nagawicka Lake. From our first meeting, Derek's warmth, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for his role shone through.
Derek took the time to get to know us as a couple, ensuring that the ceremony was personalized and meaningful. He skillfully balanced humor and sentiment, creating a ceremony that was heartfelt and memorable for us and our guests. His ability to articulate our love story and incorporate our personalities into the vows made the moment incredibly special.
On the day of the wedding, Derek was calm and composed, guiding us through each step with ease. His presence was reassuring, allowing us to focus on the joy of the moment. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful and touching the ceremony was, thanks in large part to Derek's eloquence and delivery.
We are so grateful to Derek for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. If you're looking for an officiant who is not only professional but also deeply committed to making your ceremony unique and special, we highly recommend Derek Dube.
Thank you, Derek, for being an essential part of our special day!World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:

Derek was the perfect officiant for us. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and made us feel very comfortable. We knew after our fist meeting with him that he was who we wanted to marry us. Whenever I needed to contact him, he got back to me quickly. Even though we didn't have a rehearsal, he spoke with everyone on the day of the wedding, prior to the ceremony, and everything went smoothly. We invited him to stay for dinner and he mingled with our guests and was so gracious. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:
Good morning Rosanne and Hartmut, thank you for your wonderful words. I believe it is so important to respond to each and every couple that I have the pleasure to be of service to in a timely manner - that's number ONE! I really enjoyed hearing the personal vows that you shared with each other - they were beautiful! The two readings that you chose to share at your ceremony, 'The Art of Marriage' and 'The Promise of Marriage' fit you to a tee. Thanks for the honor to be of service to you. -

Andrea Sent on 11/07/2025Wedding Ceremony
We hired Derek as our officiant for our wedding and absolutely loved working with him! Derek really is the full package and helped us plan our ceremony from start to finish. Derek had amazing attention to detail and was always very responsive and helpful while planning. He ran our rehearsal so well and got our whole wedding party to focus. For our rehearsal he noticed that we had a metal stand for our readers and he brought his wood podium for our actually wedding day which fit the vibe of our venue and looked so much better. It’s the little details like that that made Derek stand out and he really goes above and beyond. Our wedding ceremony went perfectly and it was all thanks to Derek!World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:
Greetings Andrea and Jacob, I loved working with you also - we made a great team co-creating your unique and intimate wedding ceremony. I am so glad that my podium fit right in with the rustic atmosphere of your ceremony. You were such a Joy to work with and I wish you both a long life filled with Happiness, Mutual Respect, and Love. Make many Happy memories throughout your journey together! -

Jesse Sent on 09/03/2024Derek 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 -

Alex Sent on 08/29/2024Wedding 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 -

Mckenzie Sent on 06/07/2024Not 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! -

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!World of Wisdom Ministry's reply:
Greetings Mr. and Dr. Lyster
Thank you so much for the honor of allowing me to serve you as your Officiant on your very important day! It was such a pleasure to meet both of you and co-create a wedding ceremony that I thought was unique and very sacred. You certainly added some personal and genuine aspects of who you are. I truly enjoyed the whole process while co-creating your ceremony. Of all the weddings that I have Officiated this one is at the top of the list regarding the floral arrangement, simply spectacular! 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! -

Jess Sent on 10/24/2023Simply 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. -
