A Day Made for Us

king questions to better get to know us to tailor the perfect ceremony for our wedding. While the whole wedding went by so quickly, the ceremony that Steven crafted for us was so memorable. It really set the tone for a great evening. We received several compliments on the ceremony and we couldn't be happier with it all. Our wedding license got lost in the mail but Steven agreed to meet with my husband on short notice to sign a new certificate so we could finalize my name changing, insurance etc. If he's available on your wedding date - book him!!

t was a done deal. He completely understood mine and my husbands desire to include my daughter in the ceremony as much as possible. I will say, the whole day was a blur and tony details have escaped me but I can vividly remember the feelings, especially as he talked about the love he witnessed my family having for each other. I will be forever grateful and can’t suggest him enough.

to the wedding, and he took the time to get to know us and our relationship! We are so happy we chose him to officiate our wedding!!

led us to booking Tamara for our month of coordinator. When I say she handled everything leading up to the wedding, during, and even after (days after), I mean EVERYTHING. I can honestly say that we had so much fun & were completely stress free. We really appreciate everything that they did to make our wedding run as smoothly as it did. We couldn’t have pulled off such an incredible night without them! Don’t think twice, book them both! You won’t regret it!

not being able to meet him in person beforehand but that day of he came right to both of us first thing to assure us he would lead the way and that we would have a beautiful ceremony.

g. If you are thinking about hiring a coordinator, we strongly recommend that you do, and there really is no reason to look further. Tamara went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly for our special day and took sooo much stress off of our shoulders. I can't emphasize enough the tremendous job that she did for us and we are so grateful for her services. HIRE TAMARA! You will be thankful you did. <3 Evan & Rachel

st making small talk. At first we were intimidated about hiring an officiant, but it was like talking with an old friend. Following that, he also sent us some vendor recommendations. When the day came, he showed up a few hours early for our rehearsal and even helped us make sure things were going smoothly. Between him, our coordinator, and our photographer (and our party, of course) we didn't have to worry about a thing! The ceremony was beautiful and brief, just like we discussed. He printed our vows on nice paper. And of course, we took the famous selfie! Steven was one of the easiest vendors to work with and we are very appreciative of everything he did for us! Highly recommend.

flexible in creating a personal and romantic Ceremony for my wife and I. He even helped in adding some special touches including helping us add a tribute to our friend who passed a few days prior. He was incredibly well spoken and definitely made it feel special and incredibly romantic. Thank you so much for being an incredible and vital part of our special day.

at ease. Thanks so much for helping us have such a special day!

He helped us pick out the perfect ceremony and the ceremony couldn’t have had gone better! You won’t be disappointed in choosing Steven for your big day!

to tears. We are not a religious couple by any means, and after a meaningful conversation with Rev. Fricke, it was apparent he would be a perfect fit to our wedding day. He was able to capture the essence of our relationship and translate that into a gorgeous ‘reading’ for our ceremony that left everyone speechless. What an HONOR it was to have Reverend Fricke officiate our wedding. He left us with powerful words of encouragement to start our marriage off stronger than we could have ever imagined.

was perfect. We also used A Day Made for Us for premarital counseling. Due to COVID, it was via zoom, but it was still just as good as if we were in the office.

ed to make sure the ceremony was personalized to us, and he was so easy to talk to! We had recently had a negative church experience, and were hesitant to use an "actual minister" for our wedding, but Reverend Fricke was like an old friend almost immediately. Our ceremony was beautifully written and we got compliments about it immediately after, even though it wasn't a religious ceremony. I would recommend to ANY couple, religious or not!

us and walked us through every step of planning the ceremony, the procession, and getting our marriage license. Because of the pandemic and all the uncertainty of the times, my partner and I decided that we wanted to officially get married a month before our actual wedding - basically as soon as we had our marriage license. We texted Rev. Fricke that evening and then the next morning we were in a beautiful park in Arlington getting married - just the 2 of us and Fricke. He made every moment of both ceremonies so special and our guests really liked him as well!! Great prices, especially for all that we received.

r wedding. It makes all the difference!

me an my new husband has found a friend for life .. He listens he learns about you he is caring and compassionate he is one that will allow you just sit an talk an talk about random things because he already has you taken care of . If u haven’t found someone please reach out to him an book u will NOT be disappointed... We love ya Rev Steve an thanks again for making our day memorable!!!

d we ended up talking for a lot longer than we had anticipated. If you are skeptical about finding the right officiant, I would absolutely recommend him.

fficiants and ministers, we probably shouldn't have high expectations with connecting with them because you're not making a friend for life and they will only be present for just an hour of your day. When we met Rev. Fricke, not only did he want to know our history but wanted to understand why we were together and why we were passionate about each other. Not only did he care as an officiant, we got along so well! We laughed, we cried and GEEKED OUT over Doctor Who and The Beatles. It was like talking to a friend. When our meeting ended, we told him we'd think about it overnight and have a decision, but we couldn't even wait til we got home to ask him to be our officiant. We made the decision on the road and wanted to book with him instantly. Even if you don't nerd out with him over bands or television shows, Rev. Fricke has the experience and that kind and gentle spirit you'd want to have for your special day.

e nervous about finding a pastor who would be flexible with our situation. We were blessed to find Steven because he was just that - very flexible and understanding. We were able to meet at his office for a few hours to just chat about life and the wedding. After that meeting, we knew that he would be the perfect fit for us! Our relationship with Christ is very important to us and we were so happy to see that Steven also had a beautiful faith. We were able to have a very God-centered ceremony and we couldn’t be more thankful that Steven pulled everything off so beautifully. Thank you Steven for making our day so wonderful and personalized to our needs. The amazing thing about Steven’s service is that he listens to you and your fiancé and puts your vision to reality. He’s extremely adaptable and will make your day how YOU want it. ❤️ 10/10!!!

ur date (he had a concert that night) but with all of the indecisiveness, my wife and I had regarding what we wanted for our ceremony. Sitting down with him felt as though it was with an old friend and before long we were joking about concerts and having a heart to heart about the stress of being an LGBT bride. The script he sent us was personal and had touching notes about his interpretation of us as individuals and as a couple. If you want someone who truly puts his heart into everything he does, hire Rev. Fricke.

oup for Rev Fricke, and was excited to find a vendor that could do both our premarital counseling and officiate our wedding. Rev Fricke was already booked on our date, however, which left me initially disappointed because I wanted someone who knew Joe and I to officiate. Let me be very clear: Rev Goodwin did NOT disappoint! We met Rev Goodwin for coffee about a month before the wedding to get to know each other and talk through ceremony preferences. We'd already had some premarital counseling sessions with Rev Fricke, and since the two are friends, Rev Fricke told Rev Goodwin a bit about us as a couple so Rev Goodwin had some context going into our meeting. Rev Goodwin listened to all of my wedding stressors at coffee, and offered to do WHATEVER we needed to make planning the ceremony part as stress-free as possible. It was so nice to feel heard and understood after that. He wrote a beautiful ceremony for us and helped us talk through what we wanted to do for our vows, which turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the day. I can honestly say I don't remember other people's wedding ceremonies very much at all, but ours I remember so vividly. We got SO MANY compliments from guests after the wedding about how much they loved (and remembered!) the ceremony. He made the marriage license part easy and painless, and was such a great sport when our photographers wanted to stage a hilarious picture. Thank you so much for helping make our ceremony, and day, memorable, Rev Goodwin. It was perfect. We also loved our premarital counseling sessions with Rev Fricke. They helped give us a solid foundation on which to start our marriage, and we learned some great things that we have been using in our communication with each other ever since. Our sessions frequently ran late because we just had so much to talk about, because we really connected with Rev Fricke very well. All in all, A Day Made For Us was the best choice we could have made for an officiant/pre-marital counseling duo. We loved getting to know both Rev Fricke and Rev Goodwin!

friend and will always look to him for support even after we are married. He truly cares and has a gift in reaching both sides of the relationship. Seth and I are so blessed to have him come into our lives! We look forward to him marrying us in October! You don’t have to have problems to do counseling, you take care of what you have so it doesn’t get ruined and he helped us with that! Fee free to reach out he’s amazing!

short amount of time and it really reflected in our Ceremony. Reverend Fricke is very upfront, professional, and easy to work with. He made us feel like we were the only couple he was working with. He truly personalized everything, tailored it the way we wanted, and offered suggestions. I'm keeping the copy of our Ceremony because it is absolutely perfect!

ng to an old friend. We were set to meet a few officiants and Rev. Fricke was our first appointment. After meeting him, we cancelled all the other appointments. We knew we found the one. And he did not disappoint. He helped us with our vows and with the ceremony. And it was beautiful! We received so many compliments about how lovely the ceremony was. He listened to all of our requests and incorporated everything we asked him to. At the rehearsal, he took charge and everyone knew exactly what they were supposed to do. He even offered some suggestions that we took and looking back, we are glad we listened to him. I highly recommend to everyone to just meet him and you will see!

as well as who we are, and crafted a very personalized ceremony. Our guests were moved as much as we were by his words and control of the ceremony. Denice was SUCH a huge help. We wanted to be fully invested in the ceremony and not have to worry about getting vendor calls, etc at the venue we chose for our reception. She coordinated the vendors as well as setup decorations better than we could have hoped for. She's an absolute necessity for a stress free wedding day. We can't thank them enough for their work and personal touches. Our day was perfect!

ZERO judgement for having a non-traditional, secular wedding. He got to know us individually and as a couple and had such sweet things to say about us in his service. Rehearsal was very well planned out and they suggested many ideas that we liked and incorporated into our ceremony. Our families both loved him as well! Couldn't be happier with this experience! Thank you, Rev. Fricke and Denice (his assisant) for being such a huge part of why our big day was so great.

our relationship, vision, movies, and fun nerdy stuff! We were very impressed with the questions Steven asked, and could immediately tell that he knew what he was doing. After that we knew we wanted him to officiate for us, and we also proceeded with pre-marital counseling as well. As the wedding date grew near, Steven provided us with a well thought out draft of our service. We had enough time to review and communicate back and forth through a few rounds of alterations. After a few small tweaks the script was perfect, and come the day of - Steven killed it! An unexpected bonus - we worked with his wife Denice as our month-of-coordinator (she was AMAZING btw... like you would not believe the tool kit she whipped out) so Steven actually stayed after the ceremony and helped Denice ensure the night went off without a hitch! Love both Steven and Denice, and HIGHLY recommend them both!

for them. He also does premarital counseling and I recommend that too. The day of he is there for you when you don’t even know you need him, he helps you and gives you that laugh you need when things seems to be going wrong. He is amazing at what he does!

marital counseling with Rev. Fricke and had a great experience. He challenged us to really analyze our relationship to better understand why and how we love each other. I would strongly recommend both Rev. Goodwin and Rev. Fricke!

respectful of our core values and worked hard to make our ceremony as personalized as possible. He has great ideas and thought of things we didn't realize we wanted! He is incredibly thorough and made sure to provide both Ben and I with copies of our vows on the big day, so we didn't have to stress over printing them and remembering to bring them. He even has wardrobe options - he is able to wear formal robes or a suit and tie and even lets you select the color tie! We are so grateful that we selected Reverend Steven. We would 10/10 recommend him for your big day.

that came their way. It was very personal and we got to know each other well. He did an amazing job throughout our wedding process and we can’t imagine what our day would have been like without him. We got to pick some readings we wanted, but he made everything flow in putting together his script. He shared stories with us on what has been successful and was always able to make some humor out of tough moments. He gave great advice and was just a great person all around. He helped tremendously in our wedding rehearsal. He signed our marriage certificate in our presence after the ceremony! We recommended him to one of our friends and they will be using him as well! Can’t say enough of how satisfied we were with their service and how affordable it was!

. He is so laid back and just makes you feel comfortable. We talked about just random things, and had a blast. We got along so well with him, and knew he was the perfect officiant for our wedding. I am a religious person but my (now) husband isn't really, and Rev. Fricke helped us to find the perfect middle ground for our ceremony. It was religious enough for me, but not over the top. He wording for the ceremony was just plain beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. He also left us a print out of the ceremony reading, which I will cherish forever. He was very courteous about our photos as well and purposely stepped out of the way during certain portions of the ceremony as to not be in the middle of shots, so the photos were a little more personal. Just an all around great guy. His process for it all was very easy. When we left the meeting, he gave us a packet of different things people include in their ceremony- a secular, a reading, a prayer, all sorts of thing. As well as, he gave us a packet of different general vows. We looked through it all and sent him the different pieces we liked, he pieced it all together and sent us back a proof to read and edit as we wished. It was all extremely easy and painless. His pricing was also extremely reasonable, if not cheaper than most of the other officiants I looked at. All in all, I highly, highly, highly recommend him. <3

ices were priced perfectly for our needs. And Denice was so very helpful with our rehearsal and day-of details. We were so grateful to have met them both and to have had them officiate our best day ever.

e payment formats made things very simple.

idn’t have to worry about anything.

captured our love. He was so easy to work with and really helped us tailor our wedding to who we are. Denise, I swear she had everything under control. She handled everything seamlessly! I honestly enjoyed my wedding because of how much they both contributed. I will forever be grateful to them both!

we wanted. He soooo nice and sweet!!! We absolutely love him!!

ted to have a lovely meaningful ceremony - We were very nervous about meeting with officiants because of this. Steven made us feel like he understood our hearts and built the most beautiful ceremony around us. I work in the industry and hear ceremonies every weekend so I appreciate an officiant who is well spoken, articulates, and really sounds connected to the couple. The man has mastered his craft and will "wow" you. Booking "A Day Made for Us" was one of the best decisions we made for our big day!

n which is fantastic and he even allowed us to make several special requests and review everything prior. He even had his wife who is a wedding cordinator but not ours do the rehearsal when my coordinator could not make it. This guy cares, he is professional, funny and does a fantastic job. More than anything else, he cares and genuinely wants you to be happy. Also priced very well, do yourself a favor and hire him, we did and we loved every minute of our wedding thanks to him.

ow us personally and know what we valued before looking into how to create our service. Rev. Fricke was spot on with our goals for our wedding ceremony. We wanted a non denominational service with more of a emphasis on our values we share as a couple and his entire service was great! All of our guests felt like he had known us for years and had really captured who we were. Denice was a perfect wedding planner for me! She was so helpful no matter how many questions I asked. What I really appreciated was that she was always so willing to help but never tried to push an opinion or choice on me. She was willing to make my dream work no matter what crazy idea I came up with. Both Denice and Rev. Fricke were extremely professional and so responsive to all our needs. The night of our wedding was flawless and no matter where I was Denice was always anticipating our needs so we didn't have to worry about a single thing. It was so great having someone take over the responsibility for me the day of the wedding so I could focus on enjoying the night. I would highly recommend A Day Made for Us, especially Denice and Rev. Fricke to anyone planning a wedding!

xtremely flexible and accommodative to every change to our schedule and made sure that our day was stress free. Would have never been able to do it without them! Their services and what they were able to accomplish was much more valuable than what they charge. My Bride received the wedding she dreamed of and I have these two to thank for making her day special.
