Best of the best
We knew we wanted to work with Peadar from the first moment we heard him speak in one of the videos on his website. We immediately reached out and decided we wanted to work it out however possible to work with Peadar. From our first conversation both Peadar and his lovely wife Margarita made us feel so special, important, understood and supported. Their approach to each ceremony is so special and unique, you are truly getting your own individual experience. Peadar took the time to get to know each of us as individuals as well as together as a couple. We worked together to build a ceremony that completely reflected our love and partnership. The day of was the hottest possible day at 102 degrees and we still wouldn't have changed a thing. Our ceremony was a dream and we will cherish that memory for the rest of our lives. We cannot recommend Peadar and Margarita more, in them you are not just getting an officiant, but a new member of your community who join and support you as you start this next most exciting chapter. -

A truly touching and personal ceremony
Peadar was such a wonderful officiant for our special day. He truly got to know us as a couple and made the ceremony extremely personal. He always took notes during our meetings and it was reflected throughout his words during the ceremony. All of our guests commented following the ceremony how genuine the ceremony was and noted it was one most thoughtful ceremonies as it showed our true love for one another. We cannot thank Peadar enough for all that he did to make our ceremony such a special event for us -- he really made sure that it reflected and showed the love we have for one another. He stayed after the ceremony to speak with our guests, which made a lasting impression on all those that he spoke with and because of that, we cannot recommend Peadar enough! He and his wife Margarita are fantastic people and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an incredibly genuine officiant who will highlight the love you have for one another on your wedding day. -

Amazing Wedding Officiant
Peadar Dalton is the best that wine country has to offer. I’ve been in the wedding industry for 18 years and have worked with many different officiants over the years. That’s how I know how special Peadar is!! He really cares about his couples and is kind, patient and always is a comforting voice and presence. I was so honored to have him officiant my wedding recently. Our guests said it was the best ceremony they had ever heard. And it really was perfect. I couldn’t ask for anything different. I’m so happy that Peadar will always be a big part of our love story. Thank you for marrying us!! -

Two of the best people we've ever met!
Peadar created what our friends described as "one of the . most thoughtful ceremonies" they had ever seen. His faith, charm and wit make him a very special person. Margarita is equally as delightful and kept us all organized. These folks are now forever friends that we truly adore. -

Wonderful Officiant!
Paedar was a wonderful officiant for our wedding ceremony, and throughout the entire planning process. First of all, he is genuinely passionate about his work. He made our marriage feel like a truly special event from the moment we first talked to him. He carried that passion and enthusiasm through the ceremony on our wedding day. He and his wife were extremely professional and easy to communicate with. They helped us plan our vows and coordinate the marriage license requirements, all while maintaining an atmosphere that focused on love and the special moment we shared together. We would 100% recommend Paedar to all future couples. -

Best. Day. Ever. Thanks to Rev. Peadar Dalton
Our wedding day 5.4.19 was the absolute best day possible thanks to Rev. Peadar Dalton and his wife Margarita. They were so helpful throughout the entire wedding process and made us feel at ease about it all. Rev. Peadar took the time to get to know us and made our day so special and personalized the entire ceremony. We had several guests mention they adored his words and made it that much more memorable for all involved. We can't thank them enough! Rev. Peadar Dalton went above and beyond to make our wedding everything we wanted and more! We highly recommend! -

Beautiful Ceremony
Rev. Peadar Dalton helped my husband and I create a beautiful wedding ceremony. From our first meeting, he was warm, interested in getting to know both of us and very easy to work with. The guests at our wedding were from a wide variety of faith based backgrounds and everyone felt touched and connected by the message that he delivered at our ceremony and could not get over how beautiful everything was. Highly recommend him. -

Perfect!!!!!
My husband and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect fit for our officiant. Peadar made our ceremony unique and special to us. Our friends and family could not stop raving about him during our cocktail hour- he was a huge hit at our wedding and we are thankful we were able to work with such a special soul -

Book Peadar!
Peadar is more than an efficient, but is someone who truly gets to know his couples and is invested in your long-term relationship! Peadar would gradually check in with us during the planning process and called us the day of to ease our nerves! He did a wonderful job with our ceremony, making each and every guest feel welcomed and a part of it. -

Loved his warm style!
We loved having Paedar officiate our wedding at Charles Krug Winery (October 2018). He has a very warm and inviting disposition and is a pleasure to talk to. They had great readings for us to choose from. Many of our guests came up to us afterwards and said how much they enjoyed his warm speaking style and way of officiating. Highly recommend him! -

Peadar is simply the best
After being a wedding planner in Wine Country for over 100 weddings, I left the area, but I returned 5 years later to get married myself. When it came to officiants, there was only one person I wanted to marry us, and that was Peadar. In all the wedding ceremonies he officiated with me over the years, he made every one unique. He takes the time to learn about every couple and what is important to them, and he brings a special spirit to the day. He combines the prepared vows and traditions with a whimsical air that lets the ceremony be organic. He was already booked on the day we picked and it was so important to us to have Paedar, that we changed the start time of our wedding so that he could officiate after his other wedding was over. Our wedding ceremony was special and uniquely “us”, and I feel so lucky to have been able to work with Peadar on my own wedding. -

Peadar and Margarita are the dream team!
We met Peadar since he was one of our officiant options for our micro wedding at Calistoga Ranch. I couldn't tell from reviews and websites who to pick but after hearing how much people love Peadar (and the fact that my future hubby actually had a slight preference for him and he usually has no opinions on these things), we decided to go with him even though my instinct is to typically hire the female options! I'm so glad that Russ and I picked Your Ceremony Matters because I can't imagine our big day without Peadar and Margarita now.
Peadar is so amazing, he's basically like family to us now. He had amazing ceremony reading options and was super flexible in letting us have more than just one when we couldn't decide. He also encouraged us to have our family participate, which was really great.
We also didn't have a pre-ceremony consult as part of our package but Peadar made sure to talk with us in advance over the phone (FaceTime, even!) so that we could get to know each other and on the day of, I felt like we already knew him, which really meant a lot!
Peadar just called us to check-in post nuptials and I can't wait for our yearly check ins with him!
I highly recommend Peadar and Margarita with Your Ceremony Matters - you definitely won't regret it! I'd do it all over if I could and would definitely ask Peadar back if we renew vows, etc. I like Peadar -

Amazing experience!
Peadar is an amazingly authentic and kindhearted person who really puts his heart into his officiant role.
He really took the time to get to know my wife and I - we met several times before the wedding day, and spoke several times over the phone. By the time of the ceremony, we felt a close connection to Peadar that really made the ceremony stand out to us and especially to our guests.
Peadar offers great practical and thoughtful advice on every detail of the ceremony, including a huge collection of really powerful excerpts and quotes for readings. While he tailors the ceremony to the couple, he also infuses everything with his own tremendous personality and warmth.
Over-all, Peadar and his wife Margarita made our ceremony, and even the rehearsal & rehearsal dinner, absolutely unforgettable.
Hugely recommended! -

BEST Wedding Officiant
I can't even begin to describe how special Peadar and Margarita made our wedding ceremony. It was hands down the most special and moving day of our lives. They took the time to get to know my husband and I as well as our families/guests to ensure everyone felt part of the union of our marriage. He acknowledged family members, our parents, and guests who had traveled far distances to celebrate with us. We were laughing, crying tears or joy and just simply consumed with the incredible words Peadar shared throughout the entire ceremony. All of our guests were in complete awe about how special our ceremony and could not stop asking how we found Peadar. If you want to remember your wedding ceremony forever and have the best/most moving day of your life, we highly recommend working with Peadar and Margarita. They are absolutely incredible at what they do and I know we will have a bond with them forever.-

Peadar Dalton and his wife, Margarita, helped organize our ceremony recently and it could not have gone better. The ceremony was engaging, heartfelt, and properly included all family members that we highlighted in preliminary discussions. Peadar does an extremely good job listening to the type of ceremony you’d like to have, and executing on all of your requests and wishes. There are many options out there, but we were very lucky to have chosen him - great experience from start to finish. -

Peadar and his wife Margarita were two of the most kind people I have ever had the pleasure speaking with. Once meeting Peadar I knew we made the best decision hiring him to be our officiant. He spoke with passion and genuinely cares about what he does. He created a unique ceremony experience that made our guests and us feel special. I have made a lifetime friend in Peadar and his wife Margarita that I will never forget. Getting to know Peadar and having him officiate our wedding was truly a blessing! -

Reverand Peadar Dalton officiated our wedding at Meadowood in Aug. 2018. I told my wedding planner initially that something that was really important to me was to have a ceremony that was personal and that when people stood up after the ceremony, it would be memorable and stick out among the usual "form" ceremonies they've undoubtably been to. My wedding planner said without hesitating, "Peadar!" Peadar and I had an initial call and I was beyond convinced he would make our wedding so special and memorable. I was right! He and his wife Margarita took so much time getting to know Alex and I before the wedding. It was thoughtful, sweet, special, and most of all, personal. I couldn't recommend Peadar more. I love the bit he does about intentions (you'll see) and love that he's always around to post wedding if you need anything. Best and easiest wedding decision I made for the wedding! -

Reverand Peadar Dalton officiated our wedding at Auberge du Soleil in August 2018. He and his wife Margarita are absolutely wonderful to work with and exceeded all of our expectations. Paedar took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a beautiful ceremony that was truly reflective of our relationship and values. He brought in elements that made everyone feel as if they shared the experience with us, rather than just witnessing it. We had so many guests tell us after the wedding that is was the most touching ceremony they have ever attended and that they felt that they were very much a part of it. We couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much, Peadar and Margarita, for giving us such a beautiful start to our lives together as husband and wife. -

Doug and I got married June 2018 and we never in a million years thought that we would find life-long friends in our wedding officiant, but we were wrong! Peadar and Margarita are two of the kindest human beings and truly take the time to get to know their couples before the big day. Peadar incorporated a lot of personal anecdotes that we had shared throughout the course of getting to know us, which made the ceremony feel as though a good friend was marrying us. Our guests had great feedback as well - they loved the ceremony! -

After considering family members or friends to officiate our wedding, Jon and I are so pleased that we decided to spend the money on a professional - and specifically, Reverend Peadar Dalton. He has a way of words that is impossible for those without experience to replicate (and that were so eloquent, meaningful, and personal during our ceremony) . We received dozens of compliments from our guests on how well done his officiating was - and while he has a natural gift, it was also largely due to the time and attention he spent on us as a couple in the months leading up to the ceremony.
Peadar had great suggestions for ways to make our ceremony unique and true to ourselves, and made sure to incorporate our families, grandparents, and heritages in thoughtful ways. It is so apparent to me that no two of his ceremonies are ever the same.
I'd also like to thank Margarita for her responsiveness, support with scheduling, and extreme accommodation in ensuring they'd be able to help us with our rehearsal (we had a big group!). They are a lovely couple and were both outstanding to work with. We hope to stay in touch! -

Rev. Peadar Dalton officiated our wedding at Tyge William Cellars in Sonoma, CA on May 12, 2018. My husband and I could not have asked for a better ceremony. Everything was very thoughtful, sweet, and well done. We appreciate all the time and effort that was put into our ceremony and wedding. It truly was the perfect day and we are so blessed. Rev. Peadar Dalton did an excellent job and we received many compliments on the ceremony. Our family and friends all agreed that it was one of the best they have seen. We highly recommend Rev. Peadar Dalton. It was great to get to know him and have him be a major part of our wedding.
Thanks,
Mr. and Mrs. Ibarra -

Looking for a wedding officiant when one is out of state was seeming overwhelming until our Napa Valley resort gave us a list of names. After sorting through the list in the end there was only one obvious choice for us and that was Rev Peadar Dalton. He and his staff were immediately responsive to our requests and concerns in finding the right officiant for a same sex marriage. After our first phone call I was completely reassured by his compassion, kindness and a sincere felt sense that our ceremony really does matter to us and to Peadar. He really put a lot into our elopement with continuous dialogue through emails and face time. Peadar took great care in getting to know us both and understanding the various nuances which were key to making our ceremony sacred and especially meaningful. We were fortunate to also meet his wife and have her participate in our elopement. We found a very sincere and kindred spirit in both Peadar and Margarita. Our only disappointment was not in being able to spend more time with them after the ceremony due to our need to get our photograph shoot completed. It has been a week ago yesterday from our wedding and we were pleasantly surprised to receive a call from Peadar with messages of well wishes and blessings. We have been honored and privileged to have had Peadar officiate one of the most important days of our lives. Forever Grateful we are!! -

Rev. Peadar Dalton made our wedding day the most wonderful day of our lives. I know our family member's name is hard to pronounce because they are not an English name but he remembered their names correctly and called the name for each person. Everything went so smoothly. I cannot say enough good things about Rev. Peadar Dalton! -

Rev. Peadar was wonderful, our entire family felt like he was "part of he gang". He fit in perfectly with our spirit and diverse backgrounds. My husband and I could not be happier and more excited, to not only have been married in such a beautiful place, but with close family and a Rev. that respected us and our requests. He made us feel comfortable, he tailored the ceremony to our needs and made it extra special and unique. We knew from the first time we spoke to Peadar over the phone that it was the perfect fit. And then when we went to get our marriage license - the Clerk said "You're so lucky" when we told her who was performing the ceremony! A wedding ceremony is an unforgettable experience, and Rev. Peadar made it ever more special. -

We cannot say more about our beautiful wedding ceremony officiated by Rev. Peadar Dalton who really took the time to get to know us and to make sure our wedding ceremony was very unique and special to us. We both feel so blessed that we were referred to Rev. Dalton to officiate our marriage. We heard from many of our guests following the ceremony how wonderful he was and how he had such a beautiful way of bringing in all faiths and making everyone feel like they were such a meaningful part of our ceremony. We highly recommend Rev. Dalton for any type of ceremony you want blessed and memorialized by such a deep and passionate man who really cares about making your ceremony very special and unforgettable.

Rev. Peadar made our day so special. We were so honored to have him be a part of our ceremony. He is really good at making sure the celebration was personalized and a reflection of who we were. He gave us great recommendations on how to share our personalities in the ceremony structure. He's also extremely profession and personable - always reached out to us to make sure we were on schedule with the planning and finalizing our marriage documents. He's a very talented public speaker... (and his awesome Irish accent didn't hurt!) Immediately after the ceremony we had friends and family raving about how awesome he was and many even said they want to use him for a future wedding. We are so lucky to get to know Peadar during our engagement as he's a very special person who believes so passionately in marriage and love. Thank you, Peadar, for making our ceremony perfect! -

Rev. Peadar, thank you so much for being our celebrant on our wedding day at The Carneros. The ceremony was friendly, with lots of joy, laughter and tears of happiness. We'll remember your wise advices. Our guests commented afterwards that you did a great job and we agree! Thank you for guiding us through the process and making it easy and joyable. -

Rev. Dalton was a truly wonderful partner for our ceremony. As many others have said, he really took the time to get to know us and incorporated US into the ceremony - there was nothing stock about the ceremony. His words during the ceremony were specific, thoughtful, insightful, and meaningful. There was also the right amount of humor and lightness. So many of our guests made special mention of what a wonderful ceremony it was and specifically how impressive Rev. Dalton was. We feel so lucky that he was a part of our wedding day - we can't say enough good things about him. -

Rev Dalton was all we ever dreamed and much more for our destination wedding ceremony in Napa! Although never meeting him prior to the ceremony, we felt like we had known him for a lifetime. He contacted us prior to the date on several occasions to get to know about us and also extended an open policy to answer any concerns. PERSONABLE and GENUINE! -

Our wedding would not have been complete without Peadar Dalton. He truly made our day so special and we will always be grateful to him. Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful he is and how beautiful the ceremony was. Peadar really takes the time to get to know you and wants to make sure that he captures everything that you want. We spoke with him numerous times before the wedding so that we had no concerns. Thank you so much, Peadar! -

Reverend Dalton truly made our wedding magical. He truly cared about our special day and even included our children (blended family) in the actual ceremony. Peadar was also helpful with information weeks before our wedding giving us step by step information on what to do and what to expect. Highly recommend him. -

Peader provides an incredibly individualized ceremony, which he plans with you in great detail before hand. He's so professional, and we had several comments that it was one of the best ceremonies our guests had been to. He takes the time to give you exactly what you want, while adding personal touches too. -

When Dave and I were first engaged we both knew the first thing we had to do was coordinate our wedding date with Paedar Dalton as we both wanted him to officiate at our wedding. We had seen him officiate at other ceremonies and he makes your ceremony extra special. We highly recommend Rev Dalton! -

My husband (Kyle) and I could not have asked for a better guide throughout this process than Reverend Dalton. He brought such knowledge and genuine kindness to our interactions, allowing Kyle and myself to relax and remain focused on what was most important to us, which was creating a truly special moment for us and our closest friends and family. Reverend Dalton's insightfulness, caring, and interest and attention to what was most important to Kyle and I led to the creation of the most meaningful ceremony I could have dreamt of. Those few moments are one of the aspects of our wedding that we reminisce on the most, and cherish deeply. Reverend Dalton was also kind enough to be present at the ceremony rehearsal, providing our families' a chance to meet him, an aspect that they all greatly enjoyed. Further, Reverend Dalton was so incredibly engaging throughout the ceremony, many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it, and how wonderful they thought it was. Looking back on our wedding, we really would not have changed a thing about our ceremony and we owe so much of that to Reverend Dalton. We are incredibly grateful that he was part of our special day. -

We absolutely loved the service and received a wide variety of comments from our guests who found different aspects of the ceremony touching based on their own experiences. We do look at our rings as a reminder of our vows and of each other when we are apart. We look to frame our vows shortly as well. Please pass on our thanks to Peadar for a delightful ceremony. -

Peadar did an absolutely amazing job officiating our wedding at Calistoga Ranch! We met with him a couple times leading up to the ceremony. He was so wonderful to work with. He gave us good advice not just for our ceremony but also for how to communicate well with each other throughout our marriage. He used bits of information that we had shared with him during prior meetings and mentioned it during the ceremony, which gave it a more personal feel. He really tailored the ceremony to reflect our personalities and beliefs. He gave us advice on readings we could use and rituals we can incorporate during our ceremony. He also walked us through the whole ceremony in his office a few weeks before our wedding, which was very helpful. Our guests also mentioned to us that he mingled with them before the ceremony and joked around with them, was very friendly, and made them laugh. He is very experienced and knows what he's doing! He really made the ceremony a beautiful and memorable experience. Peadar also followed up with us after the wedding the next day, which was a very nice touch. -

It was an absolute joy working with Rev. Dalton for our wedding! From the beginning he was incredibly responsive both over the phone and email, and made arrangements to work with our schedules for our meeting times. When we met for our initial consult, and both my now-husband and I were immediately put at ease by his calming (yet incredibly knowledgeable) demeanor. He was easy to talk with, and made sure that all of the ideas/dreams we wanted incorporated into our ceremony were included as we wished.
But more than the basic services he provided, he went above and beyond every step of the way. He had done his research BEFORE we originally met, had visited our wedding website and knew each of our bridal party members by name. This additional touch was incredible... He took the time to talk with us about our beliefs, histories, met our wedding party one-by-one at the rehearsal, introduced himself to our parents and grandparents (and made notes regarding how many years they had been married). He contacted the venue coordinator himself to make sure everything was ready for the day-of, and went out of his way to make sure our day was an incredibly special celebration to remember.
Throughout the entire process, Rev. Dalton was personable, professional, kind--and sincerely a dream come true. I had QUITE a few people at my wedding, and they ALL had the most wonderful things to say about the ceremony afterwards, and about Rev. Dalton himself. If ever needed in the future, I would work with Peadar again absolutely...for his counseling services too...and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an officiant! I enjoyed my correspondence with his wife Margarita as well; she was ALWAYS lovely to work with! -

Rev Dalton helped us blend a Christian and Jewish ceremony together that was both respectful of our cultures but was completely open and welcoming. Our ceremony was filled with love, laughter and joy and that's due in a large part to Rev Dalton. They were very helpful in answering our questions first go and being prompt in their response. We initially spoke via Skype which was very convenient and had follow up meetings on the phone and in his office. We'll always be grateful for the role Rev Dalton played in our wedding :) -

Craig and I were married at Gustafson Family vineyard in Geyserville, CA. It was an amazing ceremony. Who has guests coming up them complimenting the officiate?? WE DID! "That was the most beautiful ceremony I've ever attended.", "Where did you find him? That was awesome.", "When I get married, I want him." ETC. We were in the moment, and so were our guests. We heard compliments on the wine box ceremony and the ribbon ceremony. I am so glad that Reverend Peador took the time to visit with us, to get to know us and how important the blending of our families are to us. We had a dream team of vendors and can't be thankful enough for ALL of them, but at the end of the day, the moment of "I do" is with you forever, and Reverend Peador made that moment special. We are so thankful. -

There are so many wonderful things to say about Reverend Peadar Dalton! Mostly is is that he is a wholeheartedly good person that wants to make your wedding ceremony as beautiful and meaningful as possible.
From the very start we enjoyed working with Rev. Dalton, he just makes you feel special. There is nothing about him that seems like just another wedding vendor.
We spoke with him on the phone a couple times and met him in his office twice. The original in person meeting was about 9 months before our wedding and it was so that we could meet him. Then the second meeting was two weeks before our wedding so that we could go over the specifics and make sure we had the timeline, readings, vows, etc chosen. On my wedding day he called me, wished me well and told me that I was going to have a beautiful and special wedding. Then he met us there and lead the most beautiful wedding ceremony that I could have ever imagined for us. Some of the things he said were not scripted, so it kept it feeling fresh and it was nice to have his kind words about how he was genuinely feeling in that moment.
He takes it as his person goal to make each and every ceremony as special as he can.
There is no question that I would recommend Peadar to everyone! -

Reverend Dalton was the officiate for our wedding in August 2013. I would highly recommend him and his services. I am Catholic and my (now) husband is Lutheran. We were looking for an officiate that was capable of delivering a religious/Christian ceremony that was traditional, yet personalized, and Rev. Dalton did just that. He met with us multiple times in advance of our ceremony to offer his support and reassurance. His selection of recommended readings and blessings were wonderful. It was always apparent that he takes his job and our event seriously.
Come our wedding day, our ceremony was so beautiful and individualized. He incorporated our family and friends into the service, and offer such a sense of calmness and peace. I highly recommend Rev. Dalton. -

Reverend Peadar at “Your Ceremony Matters” is great! He and his wife
Margarita make everything so stress-free and special when planning
your big day. Peadar’s personal and outgoing style are perfect for a
wine country wedding, and he will be a big hit with family and
friends. He is very knowledgeable and already has a personal
relationship with the wedding and event planners in the area, which
make scheduling and planning all that much easier. Reverend Peadar
even did a Skype session with us since we were from out of town. He
and Margarita are great and we can’t recommend them highly enough. -

I see here that it says, "Provide feedback that future brides..." well Rev. Dalton married my wife and I a week ago to the day(Yes future Husbands I would definitely recommend being attentive and involved through the whole process, I wish now that I was more but I have an amazing wife) and seeing as spirituality and religion and a higher power has played a larger roll in my life than my wife's I have to say that Rev. Paeder demonstrated and exemplified what it means to act as and be a pillar of faith, love, honor and devotion not only to the Institution/Sacrament of Marriage but also simply put to us as individuals but most of all Husband and Wife. Due to certain circumstances and the location of our wedding I was not able to have the support I would have liked there on that day however Rev. Paeder was able to alleviate any insecurities or the fear of the unknown/thoughts going on in my crazy mind. He was informative without being pushy, he was inviting while maintaining the integrity of the idea that it is your day and if you have a special request, whatever it is he will not hesitate to make sure it is not only heard but it is actually considered and executed without any questions. He is eloquent in the ways of the ceremony {even with over 4 different styles to choose from} but most of all he creates an eternally unique experience without reading verbatim from a surgical script or book he makes the Ceremony not just feel like it was written for you but he denies the entry of any worry or fear or questions in this life changing decision for you and no matter the format nobody else will ever experience the same as you. He truly lives up to his company name however if I had it my way I would change it to "YOUR CEREMONY TRULY MATTERS" -

We wanted to create a ceremony that was personal and reflected us. Initially, we were nervous about choosing an officiant that we did not know but we met with Rev. Dalton and knew that he was the best choice. He performed a ceremony that was spiritual and captured the essence of our relationship. Even though we only were able to meet with him for a very short time, he listened to us and expressed us perfectly at the ceremony.
All of our guests loved him and thought the ceremony was beautiful. -

It’s not that Reverend Dalton needs another glowing review – he deserves it! He is an impressive speaker and such a warm person. He truly wants to get to know the bride and groom and their families. Reverend Dalton doesn’t do cookie cutter – he truly delivers a very personal service based on what you want. Our guests commented on how they were hanging on his every word and what a great ceremony we had. Thank you Reverend Dalton! We also very much enjoyed meeting his lovely wife, Margarita – who works with Reverend Dalton! -

My guests raved that our ceremony was one of the best they have seen. It was romantic, family oreientented and spiritual. We couldn't have been more happy. They are very organized and experienced with helping with details and the marriage license also. -

Peadar at Your Ceremony Matters made our destination ceremony at Auberge du Soliel so special! Because it was a destination wedding, we didn't have the chance to meet with him beforehand; however, we spoke with him on the phone and via email several times before the big day. Peadar made it feel as if we'd known him for years ... he incorporated our parents into the ceremony and did an outstanding job. Highly recommended! -

My wife and I originally found Your Ceremony Matters and Rev. Peadar Dalton through online testimonial, so it is fitting for us to “pay it forward” and share our thoughts regarding our experience with Peadar. From the moment we found Peadar, it was obvious to us who would be officiating our wedding ceremony, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Peadar is genuinely interested in you as a couple and does his best to incorporate important aspects of your relationship, your past, and your future together into the ceremony. When we finally met Peadar, it was like we had known him for years. He was very easy to talk to, and sincerely cared about crafting a memorable ceremony that was unique and fitting for us. In regards to the ceremony, he knocked it out of the park.
Your Ceremony Matters makes the process of creating your wedding ceremony straight forward and stress-free. From sample readings to subtle wording suggestions, Your Ceremony Matters is responsive and provides plenty of ideas to once again, make the wedding ceremony yours. The staff is prompt in responding to any request, which results in a seamless creative process.
Additionally, we appreciated that Peadar took time to share insight with us regarding love, relationship, and what we could expect in the future. Peadar made a point to call each of us both before and after the wedding, not only to check in regarding logistics, but to share his personal thoughts and to ensure that our wedding ceremony blessed us every day moving forward.
We received many compliments from guests on how they enjoyed Peadar’s words about marriage, family, and us. In the future, we’ll reflect on these words, using his advice as a source of strength. We look forward to staying in contacting Peadar in the years to come, whether we are in need of advice or just to say “hello.”

Paedar Dalton officiated our wedding ceremony and we COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER. We could not possibly say enough good things about him. He was incredibly caring and went to great efforts to get to know my wife and I leading up to the ceremony. He met with us multiple times in the months prior to the wedding (in person and via skype) to talk about the wedding, become familiar with the guests, family members, wedding party members, etc, and really get a clear sense of how we wanted the ceremony to feel.
On the day of the ceremony, things went just as he said they would. He remembered all the names of folks, where they were coming from, how they related to us, etc. He even gave my friend who had introduced us a shout out during the ceremony. In reading other's reviews, I came across this "He is professional, sincere, knowledgeable and charming. You will never find a better person to officiate your wedding." I think that pretty much sums it up as accurately as I could. Do yourself a favor and book him for your wedding!!!! -

Rev. Dalton is amazing. He made our ceremony so special and personal, we could not have asked for a better officiant! Additionally, as we were planning from afar, we did all of our pre-wedding chats and intros via Skype. Rev. Dalton is such a warm, kind person and truly wants your wedding day to be perfect. I cannot say enough good things about him! Working with Rev. Dalton was one of the best decisions we made. -

We feel very fortunate to have had Reverend Peadar Dalton as our Officiant for our beautiful wedding at Auberge du Soleil in Napa CA. He not only made a lasting impression on us as the Bride & Groom but also all of our guests. Each of our guests came up to us after the ceremony and throughout the weekend commenting on how 'cool' and insperational his words were. He truly made everyone feel to be a part of our special day. As I told him after the ceremony, you made a memorable day 'unforgettable'. -

Typically online reviews fly forth from my fingertips with ease... But finding the words to express our overwhelming gratitude and thanks to Rev. Paedar Dalton is challenging. From the very beginning of our relationship with Paedar, it was clear that his priorities and values aligned with our own.
His goal wasn't simply to marry us. He wanted to get to know who we were individually and as a couple, so that he could fashion a perfect wedding ceremony - something that fit my husband and that fit me and that fit our families. To be honest, my husband and I were worried about including our families in the ceremony because we both come from divorced parents. Rev. Dalton took copious notes on the family dynamic and assured us he would find ways to bring the families into the ceremony. Paedar managed to include our families in the ceremony in ways I will never forget and that were incredibly meaningful to our parents and grandparents witnessing our marriage.
Comments from our guests about Paedar included, "He was amazing - where'd you find him?" "When he added up all your grandparents years of marriage and was talking about how powerful their example was, I couldn't stop crying!" "That dude was hilarious!" "Why can't every wedding have an officiant that is that awesome?"
We absolutely cannot say enough about what a blessing it was to be married by Rev. Paedar Dalton.
If you're reading this Paedar, thank you. We cannot wait to send you updates on our life together and the ways we are living up to our vows.
With love,
Mr. and Mrs. R -

Where to begin with Rev. Dalton... He was an absolute sweetheart from the very start. My husband and I have a long complicated love story that we really wanted to be apart of our ceremony and he was so receptive and captured every single detail of our love. He was very easy to get a hold of and had everything we needed from helping us with vows, to blessing the rings, he had examples of everything. His office is right downtown Sonoma and he tries everything in his power to work with you and make your dream come true! My ceremony was beautiful and everyone kept talking about how amazing our officiant was. He makes them feel like they have been friends for a lifetime. He called us before, and even after the wedding he called to checkup on us to see how everything was going. He is the sweetest Irish man who really honestly cares about people's journey and being happy. I love REv. Dalton and recommend him for anyone's special event!!!! -

Reverend Dalton is a pure joy to work with. He is one of those people you feel you have known for years because he is so charismatic. Our ceremony was beautiful and eveyone commented on how special it was. He makes every guest feel like they are part of your wedding. Rev Dalton is great. We were so happy we chose him marry us. We will remember our ceremony forever. -

My husband and I planned our little wedding in California Wine Country from West Virginia, so we relied heavily on our wedding planner and vendors to pull it together. Our entire wedding was a dream… intimate and beautifully elegant. Everything we had imagined was made to exist making our visions a reality.
Rev. Peader Dalton from Your Ceremony Matters gifted us with a beautiful ceremony. It was like we had known him our entire lives. Rev. Peader made a fervent effort to get to know us personally before the wedding through phone calls and Skype meetings. On the day of the wedding, he was able to connect with the entire assembly on a personal level, imparting a moving and poignant speech. He is truly impressive and so compassionate. We plan on keeping in touch with him throughout our married lives.

Reverend Dalton did an amazing job officiating our ceremony. He met with us several times prior to the wedding day where he was able to get to know my husband and I in order to make our ceremony unique to us and our guests. Our guests had nothing but positive comments regarding the Reverend and our ceremony. I would definitely recommend Reverend Dalton to friends & family. -

The fact that this review was written by the groom should be testimonial enough to the quality of the services provided by Rev. Peadar Dalton and Your Ceremony Matters. As a New York couple marrying in California, Rev. Dalton's professionalism and personal touch before, during, and after our few in person California visits made our wedding planning and execution run as smoothly as if we were locals. Not only did Rev. Dalton spend the time necessary to get to know each of us and our families to tailor the ceremony to us both, but he also went out of his way to help us find a local parish for a prior private Catholic ceremony. The care, love, and energy he put into our ceremony involved each of our guests and moved even the most stoic of attendees. We simply could not imagine our wedding day without Rev. Dalton and would highly recommend his services to one and all. -

Rev. Dalton and his staff are wonderful--really! Their attention to detail helped us navigate all the pragmatic and personal parts of our ceremony. Rev. Dalton also recommended our wedding venue, which turned out to be perfect for our needs and our values. The ceremony was personalized for us and infused with wisdom and heart. Our day was one of great beauty. -

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rev. Dalton. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive, and organized! I planned our wedding from across country (TN to Napa, CA), and we chose Rev. Dalton upon recommendation from our wedding venue. He met with us while were in Napa doing wedding planning stuff, etc., and we were sold from there! He isn't just an officiant--Rev. Dalton goes so far above and beyond to make sure he really knows his couples via face-to-face meetings, phone conversations, and Skype (if a destination wedding as was our case). He asks all the right questions ranging from topics such as: how we met/our story as a couple; family history and/or family dinamics to be aware of on the big day; flow of the ceremony including content and readings/verses, etc.
All of this fabulous attention to detail added up to an absolutely fantastic ceremony for us. Rev. Dalton remembered to mention certain family members who couldn't be at the ceremony and even our dog :) Wedding guests were so impressed and inspired by our ceremony (we heard MANY comments afterward!), and Rev. Dalton didn't miss a beat nor a single detail in making our ceremony individual to us. We were blown away by how personalized he made everything from vows to the reading to comments made prior to the vows.
Lastly, and probably the best thing about Rev. Dalton, is that he made tremendous effort to check in with us via phone and email leading up to the wedding and even afterward to let us know he was thinking of us and to wish us the best in our marriage. Rev. Dalton is absolutely the kindest and THE BEST!! You cannot choose a better officiant to make your ceremony and wedding day be absolutely beautiful. -

I'm so happy that we found Reverand Peader to officiate our wedding. Neither my husband nor I are very religious, so we wanted to find someone with the right balance of spirituality for us. Rev Peader met with us over Skype, as we live in the UK, and got to know us and our story. He then wrote a ceremony that was really touching, personal and quite funny at times. Our guests thought that the ceremony was great and we received lots of compliments. He was warm, professional and a really nice man. We would definitely recommend him. -

My husband and I had our hearts set on a destination wedding, but the most daunting part of the process was imagining a stranger uniting us during the ceremony. Upon a recommendation from our venue, I contacted Rev. Dalton and we immediately clicked. He took so much time with us during our phone interview and really made an effort to get acquainted with us. He really respected our wishes for a Christian-based ceremony, even though we were getting married outside of the church. Perhaps what really put me at ease was the fact that he knew my childhood priest and I felt relaxed knowing there was a connection there. Most importantly, my guests were so impressed with how personal and interactive he made the ceremony. Most of them had never been so moved during a wedding ceremony and those are the moments that truly count. -

We are so glad we chose Rev. Dalton for our wedding in November 2011--his service truly captured who we are. Before the wedding, he took the time to get to know us at meetings in his office and on phone calls… asking questions, listening to our stories.
With eloquence, warmth, and wit at the ceremony, Rev. Dalton reflected on the meaning of marriage. We were touched by how fully he included our family and friends, especially with the passing of the ring. Our guests all talk about how his words have inspired them to appreciate their partners anew and take joy in every moment of their lives.

I highly recommend Rev. Dalton. We got married on 10/29/2011 and we are still receiving compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was. On our first phone conversation he asked a lot of questions. He really tried to get to know us and our families. About 3 weeks before the wedding, he sat down with us and went through everything with us so we would feel comfortable on our special day. He incorporated a lot of love and family unity in our ceremony. He really personalized everything for us. I would highly recommend him. You will be happy you went with him. -

Rev. Dalton is simply fantastic!! He is truly enthusiastic about making a ceremony tailored to the couple and is beyond inclusive of all those sharing in the event.
We first met with Rev. Dalton at his office in Sonoma to discuss our ceremony at Old St. Hilary's Church in Tiburon, and to get a general sketch of how the event would unfold. He provided us with a wealth of suggestions and options to choose from with regard to the exchanging of the rings, the vows, blessings, readings, etc. He asked questions about our backgrounds, our families, our guests and our lives together to get a real feel for the two of us.
We exchanged emails with Rev. Dalton and his assistant, Jennifer, and did a skype call about 2 weeks prior to the wedding to review the ceremony.
Throughout all of the steps leading up to the ceremony, Rev. Dalton provided a genuine warmth, charisma, sweetness and was so witty! We knew we were in wonderful hands.
The morning of the ceremony, he even called me to see how I was doing!
The ceremony itself was beyond words- truly heartfelt and beautiful. Rev. Dalton was eloquent and made a point to make everyone in the room feel a part of the celebration. You could honestly feel everyone hanging on his every word as he relayed lovely sentiments on marriage and guided us through the vows and exchanging of the rings. He somehow made everyone in the room tear up, reflect well, and laugh heartily all at once!!
This whole experience was truly spiritual and we can't thank Rev. Dalton enough. He is a lovely person who cares so deeply.
Congratulations to you and enjoy your special day with Rev. Dalton! -

Reverend Paeder Dalton made our wedding so incredibly special. We have an integrated family (2 stepchildren) and a new baby and he made sure to include all of the children in the ceremony and made them all feel very special. He also included all of our immediate family members and recognized and thanked all of our friends for coming. Our guests are still commenting on what a beautiful ceremony it was and that Rev Dalton made it all about love and family and not just at typical ceremony. We are forever grateful to him for making it an even more incredible and special day! -

Reverend Dalton made our day!! From our initial phone conversation until the day of the wedding, he put us at such ease with his professionalism, his sense of humor and demeanor! We so appreciated the phone call the morning of the wedding to reassure us that all would be okay and the service was in good hands and to make sure we ourselves enjoyed the day. The fact that he wanted to include all family and guests in the service was very touching.
We would highly recommend Rev. Dalton to any bride and groom wanting to get married in the Sonoma area. A truly memorable experience!

Reverend Dalton was recommended to us by our planner. My husband and I were planning a destination wedding in Sonoma County and in our first meeting, I was drawn to his excitement for getting to know us. I knew it would be important that our officiant understand us in order to make our ceremony meaningful and memorable for ourselves and our guests on the day of our wedding. Throughout the planning process, Reverend Dalton provided many unique ideas to make our ceremony represent us. On the day of our wedding we received many kind comments from our guests in regards to our ceremony. Reverend Dalton was truly a pleasure to work with, and we are so lucky to have had him share in our special day. Thank you again! -

We used Rev. Daton for my October 2010 wedding. He was amazing! We loved every aspect of the way he conducted our ceremony. He is extremely personable and made our ceremony incredibly personal, intimate and memorable. He also added a sense of humor where needed! He also has a very charming Irish accent that was a delight to listen to! We also indicated to him that we wanted a "short and sweet" ceremony, and he did a great job keeping it that way! His office was also very responsive, thorough and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!! -

We LOVED working with Reverend Dalton. He helped us to create the ideal wedding ceremony. In fact, a huge number of our guests commented that it was "the best wedding ceremony" of which they had been a part. We first met Reverend Dalton over the phone (since we live in Chicago) for a get-to-know you conference call. He was excited that we were seeking an officiant very early in the wedding planning process. It really allowed him to get to know us during the year and a half we planned the wedding. We met with him in person three times prior to the wedding day, and he would occasionally give us a call to check in. He provided us the freedom to craft the ceremony that was right for us and helped to provide suggestions when we needed them. I would VERY HIGHLY recommend Reverend Dalton to couples seeking an officiant. We were so satisfied with the wedding ceremony; Reverend Dalton was very inclusive with our guests and personalized our ceremony by bringing in details that he uncovered about us in our meetings together. A+!!! -

What can I say about Reverand Peadar but he is AWESOME! He did a great job at our ceremony and really added some special touches that meant alot. I have been to ceremonies before which are quite boring and I can honestly say ours wasnt. He also is great about following up and really making sure he gets the important details just right! He has a big heart for LOVE and it shows. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a special touching ceremony that they will remember! -

Rev. Dalton made our ceremony perfect. My husband and I liked him from our first meeting w/ him. He was sweet, kind and humorous. We liked his approach to a wedding. With Rev. Dalton, we really did not have to worry about anything, it just all came together. My family from China also enjoyed the ceremony officiated by Rev. Dalton, and they enjoyed his being a part of our wedding. Rev. Dalton also looks really nice on our wedding pictures :)

I can not speak highly enough about Reverend Dalton. My husband and I are not religious, so frankly, finding the perfect officiant was not high on our list of priorities. Once we spoke to him on the phone, however, we knew we had found a perfect fit. Reverend Dalton is in high demand in the Sonoma/Napa area, and it's easy to see why. In our conversations leading up to the wedding, he took the time to get to know us and learn about our families, which made our ceremony feel so personalized. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful our ceremony was, and said that it seemed as though Reverend Dalton had known us forever. I can't recommend him highly enough! -

When we first spoke with Rev. Dalton over the phone, we knew immediately he was the perfect officiant for our wedding and personalities. Rev. Dalton officiated our wedding this past August at Jacuzzi Vineyards. Needless to say, it was absolutely the best night of our lives. The ceremony was BEAUTIFUL! Both my husband and I, along with all our family and friends were so touched by his ability to make our ceremony so personal and intimate. He helped set the tone and joyous mood for the entire evening. Both he and his assistant, Jennifer, were very helpful and supportive the entire process and months preceding our big day. We couldn't be happier, and without a doubt made the best decision when choosing him to share in our special day. -

Rev. Peadar Dalton was the officiant for our wedding on June 19th 2010 at the Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma CA. I was raised in Sonoma and returned there to get married. As we do not live in the Sonoma area currently, we needed some advice as to who we should contact. The winery recommended Rev. Dalton and we are SO glad that they did! Our wedding ceremony could not have been more special and Rev. Dalton was wonderful to work with. If you are getting married in the Napa/Sonoma area, we HIGHLY recommend Rev. Dalton. He is absolutely right...Your Ceremony Matters. Thank you Rev. Dalton for helping to make our dream wedding come true! -

Reverand Peadar Dalton was the Officiant at our wedding on June 19th, 2010 at the Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma CA. I have to say, the entire night was magical, but it was the ceremony that made our night more than we can have ever hoped for. Rev. Dalton was so incredibly wonderful to work with and we would recommend his services HIGHLY to anyone who is getting married. He has the unique ability to make people feel comfortable and part of the ceremony and we heard nothing but wonderful comments! If you choose Rev. Dalton, you will NOT be sorry!!

Again, our wedding planner Rosemary brought to us Rev Dalton. It was him, or a woman (who were weren't opposed to, but she didn't grab us, or a another 6'5 guy (hubby and I aren't tall people, so didn't want to look like munchins in pics) so went with Rev Dalton. Honestly, I was a bit afraid of his accent being distracting ('where are my lucky charms's - type jokes), but instead it made people fall in love with him!
Bryan and I wrote our own vows, which was nerve-racking, but Rev Dalton was so calming and made me feel like he would take care of everything during the ceremony, that I wasn't nervous at all.
He is an amazing man! -

I instantly liked Reverend Dalton when I first met him. He makes everyone around him feel comfortable and I was impressed by how passionate and sincere he was about his job and what he spoke of. I am so pleased I chose him to officiate our wedding ceremony. He did a wonderful job speaking to us as a couple and making everyone present feel like a part of the ceremony, not just a spectator. He spoke of many important points that resonated with us as a couple and what we want our marriage to be. He was very respectful of merging two cultures and making sure what was important to us was present in the ceremony. He knows what is at the heart of the ceremony and will make sure this is not compromised. He also added some light-hearted humor to the ceremony. I received many compliments on our ceremony and Rev. Dalton. I can't speak highly enough about him. -

Peadar Dalton was wonderful to work with--he is professional and so friendly and easygoing. It is important to him to create a ceremony that is meaningful to the couple and their families, and he really succeeded! We loved his beautiful words about love and marriage, and how he included our families in the ceremony. Afterwards, everyone asked me how long we had known Peadar--because it seemed like he had known us forever! We got so many compliments from our guests; many told us it was the best ceremony they had ever seen! -

Reverend Dalton is amazing. He made us feel like we had known him for years, even though we had just met. His service was full of wisdom, humor, and emotion, and was very appropriate for the moment. He gave us advice during the ceremony that we will use in our marriage for years to come! Very highly recommended! -

Reverend Dalton is everything you could ask for in your ceremony. His friendly Irish accent, his personality and his ability to create a unique personal atmosphere made our wedding so very special to us. His symbolic speech about love and devotion and what is important in a happy marriage will be long remembered.
THANK YOU! -

Outstanding! We absolutely adore Reverend Dalton. After he served as the officiant for my sister at her wedding and conducted a naming ceremony for her daughter, we were completely awed by his ability to capture your attention. The way in which he articulates the meaning of love, marriage and devotion can only be described as perfect. We were more than pleased with his professionalism and openness to creating a ceremony that expressed our personal beliefs about marriage. We cannot thank him and his staff enough for guiding us through the whole process with such ease. He is the only man for the job!!!! -

Peadar married us at Ca'Bianca in Santa Rosa in June of 2008. There are no words to describe how amazing he was. We felt as if we had known him forever, and after our first meeting with him, knew he had to be the one to marry us. It was so important for us to have a beautifully unique ceremony that reflected who we are as a couple, and what it meant to us to be coming together as a family. Peadar did such a beautiful job of making my daughter a part of the ceremony, and brought up her new grandparents to welcome her to their family. We absolutely loved the way he reached out to all of our friends and family, and included everyone. Every time I think of our wedding day, it is the ceremony that stands out.
Peadar, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We feel truly blessed to have found you. We look forward to having you baptize our children in the future!

It was a giant leap of faith to book a wedding officient "on-line" all the way from Canada, but we are thrilled we trusted Rev. Dalton. We had a long phone conversation before we booked, and I shed a few tears (happy ones) with his warm and personal assurances. Our ceremony was beautiful, and Paeder's words were personal, gentle and loving. My husband and I felt very lucky to have met him, and would whole heartedly recommend sharing your day with him. -

My wife Laura and I were married by Rev. Dalton in the most wonderful ceremony we could have hoped for. From our initial conversation with Peadar to the follow up after the wedding, everything was handled perfectly. As you can tell by the other reviews on this site, Peadar has an extraordinary ability to bring all of the wedding's participants together so they are all truly involved and present. His insights into our relationship with each other, our friends and our family were expressed beautifully, spiritually and in a truly moving fashion that removed anything cliched or routine from what all of our guests said was truly the most memorable ceremony they had ever attended. While we hadn't met Rev. Dalton until the morning of the ceremony (well, almost- as I ran into him two days before while waiting for Laura to have some important pre-event hair styling- I recognized him from his wonderful voice, as he was discussing an upcoming ceremony with another couple at a Starbuck's in Santa Rosa!), we felt as if he really knew us from our extensive and insightful conversations with him while planning the ceremony.
If you are looking to have a wedding ceremony that is unique, lovely and will truly resonate in your hearts, then by all means you should speak to Peadar Dalton!

Peadar Dalton married us this past September. We loved him! Our experience was wonderful. Probably 95% of our guests commented on Peadar's words during our ceremony. They ALL thought his comments were very insightful, positive and fresh. Every single one of them was able to take some positive words home with them that they could bring into their own relationships. We recommend Peadar overwhelmingly!!! :D The second we met him, we knew he would would be the perfect officiant for our wedding. He was able to creat a ceremony that was unique to us and that made us feel very special. It was a wonderful way to start our life together. We couldn't imagine it any other way. Thank you so much Peadar!!! -
