Very professional and took the time to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted in our ceremony.
We hired A Day Made for Us for both officiant services and month-of coordinating services for our wedding on 4/8/22. From our first meeting, we instantly knew Rev. Steven and Tamara were the ones we would be hiring for our big day because they felt like old friends from the start. As a small-business, it was evident that they truly cared about making our wedding day perfect by listening to our wishes and even suggesting ideas that would help make our day even more special. They were both highly efficient in communication and organization throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, Tamara was a dream to have by my side making sure everything was perfect so that I could relax and enjoy my time getting ready. The care behind every decision she made allowed for my husband and I to soak in our wedding day without any worries of what was going on elsewhere. The ceremony Steven created uniquely for us was absolutely perfect, and we got several compliments about his service. Overall, hiring Steven and Tamara was the best decision we made while planning our wedding. They went above and beyond making our wedding day "A Day Made for Us".
My fiance and I had a video interview with Steven and we really loved him! Our interview went even longer than originally planned because we got along so well. Steven stated that he would be sending us a couple of emails over the next couple of days and we never heard back. I emailed him back a week later trying to get an update on what was going on...never heard back. I messaged him again a week later on the Knot app and still never heard back. I am so disappointed in the lack of professionalism and communication and it truly broke my heart to just be ignored.
Rev Steven was a true God-send! Even in these weird covid times, he took the time to get to know us and catered our ceremony to us personally. Our initial phone call was over 2 hours! I love that we got a copy of the ceremony on keepsake paper, because now I can go back and see what was actually said, because it was all such a blur! There was a small hiccup, but he went out of his way to make it right. Our ceremony was perfect, and we are so incredibly happy with our choice of officiant.
We are so thankful we found Steven with A Day Made For Us. From our first meeting, there was an instant connection—it was like talking to an old friend. Steven really took the time to get to know us as a couple and helped bring our vision for our ceremony to life, always going above and beyond. On the day of, he helped calm our nerves and we had the ceremony of our dreams. Steven is the best!!
We highly recommend Steven! When we initially met, it didn't take us long to realize that we had found the perfect Officiant for our wedding.
He asked us wonderfully thought provoking 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!!
Reverend Steven had such great reviews to begin with that I was already pretty set on having him officiate our wedding but after our initial meeting and talking to him for hours, it 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.
Steven did such an amazing job with our wedding ceremony! We got so many comments after the wedding about how special and personal the ceremony was. We met with him over zoom prior 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!!
The absolute best decision that we made when planning our wedding was picking Steven to be our officiant. The ceremony was perfect and exactly what we wanted. More importantly, it 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!
Reverend Steven made our ceremony so sweet and special. He was also great at communicating throughout the entire planning process. We highly recommend!
Steven is seriously the best officiant you could hope for. He is so warm & welcoming. He did an amazing job helping us plan our ceremony, especially during covid. I was so worried 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.
My wife and I hired Tamara to be our day of coordinator after looking around for awhile and we are SO thankful we did. It was honestly by far the best money we spent for our wedding. 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
Steven was an amazing and well-spoken officiant! We love that he took some time to get to know us, meeting with us to learn our love story, our preferences for the ceremony, and just 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.
Reverend Fricke was phenomenal for our impromptu elopement. After our wedding was postponed a second time, this time into the following year; Rev, Fricke was incredibly helpful and 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.
Rev. Fricke WAS INCREDIBLE! So so happy with how our ceremony turned out. It was so sweet and beautiful. The communication prior to the wedding was amazing and really made us feel at ease. Thanks so much for helping us have such a special day!
We wanted the best of the best to marry us and Steven was exactly that! We wanted someone funny, caring and passionate. Steven came all the way from Texas to Florida to marry us! 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!
A week has passed since our wedding - our friends and family cannot stop talking about how powerful and well spoken Reverend Fricke was. His words moved many of our family members 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.
A Day Made for Us made it easy for us to have a bilingual ceremony. They printed programs in our desired language and everyone was able to follow along, regardless of language. It 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.
We got married on 10/11 and Reverend Fricke made the day perfect. We met in person before we booked his services, and he really took the time to get to know us as a couple! He wanted 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!
I would highly recommend using A Day Made For Us! Reverend Steven was amazing and really went out of his way to make sure our wedding day went perfect.
Choosing Rev. Fricke was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding!
We did premarital counseling and we really enjoyed it - he really took the time to get to know 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.
Reverend Fricke performed an amazing ceremony. It was warm, romantic, serious and light-hearted at the same time. It made our day to have a real person and a good soul officiate our wedding. It makes all the difference!
OMG!!! Where to begin ... Reverend Steve is hands down the best person you can ever find to perform your ceremony.. he has become so much more than an officiant found on an app but 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!!!
The Reverend made our ceremony so absolutely special. We couldn't have made a better choice to have Steven marry us! When we first met him, it was more like talking to a friend, and 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.
We had spoken with 4 other ministers before Rev. Fricke. They were all okay, but you can tell when there was no chemistry... we were coming to a conclusion that when it came with officiants 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.
Steven was absolutely amazing. My husband and I had to do long distance wedding planning because we lived hours away from each other during our engagement. Because of this, we were 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!!!
Choosing Rev. Fricke for our officiant was an easy choice. He officiated my best friend and if she trusted him than I could. Rev. Fricke was extremely accommodating with not only our 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.
My husband and I did pre-marital counseling with Reverend Fricke, and our officiant was Reverend Goodwin, both through A Day Made For Us. I received rave reviews from a facebook group 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!
Rev. Fricke was wonderful to work with, and we got to laugh a lot! He honored our moment, gave our day reverence, and still kept it short enough to make us happy.
If anyone is getting married or would like premarital counseling rev. Steven Fricke has been amazing and I would suggest him to anyone! He has been so good to us and has become our 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!
I am so grateful I found A Day Made for Us. The whole experience from our first meeting with our officiant, Reverend Fricke, down to the day of was perfect. He got to know us in a 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!
If you are looking for an officiant, look no further. Rev. Steven Fricke was absolutely the best! He took the time to get to know us on our first meeting and we felt we were speaking 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!
We were so happy to use Reverend Fricke and Denice for officiating and coordination. We only met Reverend Fricke over a video call, but he truly seemed to understand what we wanted 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!
Rev. Fricke was an exceptional officiant! We knew at our first meeting that he was the one we wanted to marry us on our big day. Such a friendly and knowledgeable man, and we felt 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.
Steven was incredible!
We first met at a Starbucks, per Steven's request prior to even allowing us to book him, and ended up chatting for much longer than originally planned about 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!
If I could give them more then 5 stars I would! Steven is the best, very friendly and easy to relate to. He takes the time to get to know his couples before writing a ceremony just 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!
Rev. Goodwin did an amazing job officiating our wedding! He made our wedding special with a very personalized and thoughtful service. We couldn't have been happier. We also did premarital 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!
Reverend Steven from "A Day Made For Us" was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was responsive, flexible and genuinely excited to participate in our big day. He was tremendously 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.
I would recommend A Day Made for Us to anyone who is looking for an officiant. Steven Fricke met with us and made sure that we were all a match instead of just taking any business 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!
Rev. Steven Fricke was the absolute best!!! I liked him just from our conversation back and forth on The Knot, but then we sat down with him for a meeting and fell in love with him. 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
Reverend Fricke and his assistant Denice were so very helpful during our wedding in March. Rev went out of his way to get to know my husband and I prior to the ceremony. His services 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.
Personable, cared about us as people, and as customers! We really appreciated the packets of popular readings and vows because we had no way to start. The communication and flexible payment formats made things very simple.
Reverand Fricke went above and beyond. He met with us before our wedding day to go over our expectations. Our venue was late setting up and he handled it before we arrived, so we didn’t have to worry about anything.
I am so happy we chose Steven and Denise to be our officiant and wedding day planner! I cannot express how amazing they both were! Steven really made such a beautiful ceremony that 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!
The best ever!!!
The first met in a Starbucks and talked for about an hour. We had a great talk!! And during the wedding, he did an awesome job and made sure every detail was what we wanted. He soooo nice and sweet!!!
We absolutely love him!!
Oh my goodness! One word - AMAZING. We met with Steven in a super casual environment and he really just took the time to get to know us. My Husband and I are not religious, yet wanted 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!
Denice was the most perfect day-of coordinator we could have asked for. She kept us calm and organized and made sure every single thing was as we wanted it!
Choosing Steven was one of the best parts of our wedding. He takes the time to meet with you and understand you and your spouse informally. He basis this interaction for his sermon 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.
Rev. Fricke and Denice made our wedding day possible. I absolutely loved working with them from the very first meeting. What stood out to me is that they took the time to get to know 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!
Rev. Fricke and Denise were by far the most perfect duo for our wedding! There were many things that could have gone bad and a few more that could have been much worse! They were extremely 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.
Choosing Steven to be our wedding officiant was the best decision we've made in regards to selecting our team for the wedding day! Steven is wonderful, inspirational, professional and honest and was the best officiant we could have had! Every time we met prior to ceremony he went out of his way to meet us, travelling over an hour and accommodating me planning the wedding while living out of town and my husband working long hours.
Whenever talking to him, we felt like talking to a friend instead of talking to a vendor. He gave us advice on how to make our relationship and marriage better as a couple. He recommended books to read so we can be better partners. He gave us fantastic new recommendations to be implemented in the ceremony and has worked with us to have our wedding ceremony made specifically for us.
The day before the wedding he ran our entire wedding party through the ceremony so we would know what to expect and do. On the wedding day he was there on time, knew exactly what he was doing, made both of us feel really comfortable and has done an amazing job officiating our wedding!
My family does not speak English as the first language and he has worked with my MOH on translation and has printed out the entire ceremony in my native language so my family could follow the ceremony on the day of! That meant that my mom and dad could understand every word that was being said on our wedding day. I can't express how much that meant to me. On top of that, he learned how to ask my father in my native language who gives the blessing for the wedding and was able to ask him that in my father's native language as opposed to my father having pressure of responding in English. His wife was even there helping out with last minute tasks without being paid to do so and being really wonderful and supportive. Both of them made our day amazing and we were beyond lucky to have had somebody as amazing as Steven officiating our wedding!
I contacted these people through their website three different times and when I didn’t get a response I called their number (no answer) and left a voicemail requesting a quote. My voicemail was then responded to with a text saying that they would get to it tomorrow. That never happened. I loved everything their website said but I need to trust my vendors and if they can’t even respond to my emails and phone calls how can I trust they show up to my wedding? I can’t. Therefore I never had the opportunity to meet these people but I wouldn’t recommend them based on the lack of customer service I was shown.
Best decision we made for our wedding was choosing Rev. Fricke to officiate. It was difficult because while our wedding was on Rockwall, we live in Austin! He managed to get to know us in a 2 hour FaceTime where we discussed everything. He wrote a beautiful ceremony to perform, and can match a tie to any color. He’s open to any kind of ceremony, performed a Celtic handfastening at ours, and brought in some religious aspects, we didn’t want anything to religious as that’s not us. Had amazing ideas and in general just a lot of fun! Best decision!
We chose Rev. Fricke to be our officiant and Denice Harris to be our Month Of Coordinator! We can't say enough nice things about the two of them. First and foremost Rev. Fricke has a personality that just POPS! He makes everyone think he's known them for years when he just met you for minutes. He is not a dull minister that just does his job. He made our entire family feel at home. He knew us so well that the ceremony itself was so specific that our family members knew EXACTLY what he was talking about. He was definitely the right choice!
Now for Denice our coordinator. WOW! She is so sweet. She made us feel very comfortable and assured us that what we want will be done! We never worried one moment that she had everything under control! She wouldn't let either of us lift a finger once she stepped in. She even took my after hours calls of panic over things out of my control. She managed everything so smoothly even when there was nothing but chaos around her. And let me tell you....the Emergency Bridal Party kit she brings is nothing less than spectacular! I actually had to make sure there wasn't champagne in there as well! LOL She updated me on everything and it was all positive. I found out afterwards there were some problems that arised with one of our vendors yet no one ever knew it even happened. She swooped in quietly and had everything under control. Oh and her assistant that night....none other than Rev. Fricke. They are the perfect team. They showed love and caring to each person at our wedding and we couldn't be more proud of our choice to hire A Day Made For Us!
Rev. Fricke is amazing! Words can't express how amazing he was. He went above and beyond on our wedding day! Denice his assistant was amazing as well and went above and beyond! I highly recommend Rev. Fricke to anyone getting married or renewing their vows! Thank you so much for being apart of our special day!!
Reverend Fricke was early to both the rehearsal and the ceremony. He was so calm and polite and always had my husband and I laughing. We received so many compliments on his beautiful service and it was everything we had hoped for!
We had a family member that was planning to marry us, but about 25 days before our wedding, we decided to go a different direction. Rev. Fricke and Rev. Goodwin were so kind and we felt completely comfortable with putting our very special day in someone's hands we had not met with yet. When we spoke with Rev. Goodwin on the phone, we immediately felt at ease and knew we would be happy we made the switch. Rev. Goodwin did such an amazing job and was incredibly sincere and helped calm me when I got a little emotional during the ceremony :) Would definitely recommend!!
Rev. Fricke was our Officiant and Denice Harris was our Day Of Coordinator from A Day Made for Us. You couldn't describe the name of the company any better. It felt as if they tailored our wedding day just for us. Rev. Fricke, from the very beginning was kind, open and honest. He made the day of our wedding so comfortable for both Jessica and I, I think we forgot to be nervous at some points. Each detail was laid out for us and we felt like we could not be cared for any more. He even adjusted when it started to rain just minutes before our ceremony.
And Denice was great every step of the way. She thought of details that Jessica and I have not thought of the whole time we planned the wedding. On the day of, she was calm and cool as we had to move from outside to under the tent when it started raining. She had all of the vendors in line and everything went off without a hitch. By the end of the night it felt as if they were part of the family. They both went above and beyond to ensure we and our guests felt comfortable and enjoyed our time. I would recommend them to anyone who is getting married. If i could give them a higher rating than 5 out of 5, I would!
Initially we were very nervous about finding a reverend to officiate our wedding, however our first meeting with Rev. Steven gave us confidence in our non traditional wedding and ceremony. He took time out of his busy schedule to get to know us personally prior to the wedding, and his friendship felt genuine. He went over specific details to earn our trust and made sure he was a right fit. He even gave us information for other reverends if we were not satisfied! We aren’t religious and he was willing to draft a service based on our on preferences as well as make last minute changes with no hesitation. All with only 2 weeks notice!! We absolutely loved having Rev. Steven as part of our ceremony and we couldn’t imagine anyone more perfect! We made a good friend on 12.15.17.
I’m so glad we found Reverend Steven Fricke when we did, our first meeting was great. He took the time to explain everything and really got to know us as people and a little bit about our story. It was refreshing to meet someone like him who genuinely cared and has such a passion for what he does. Leading up to the wedding he gave me great advice when it came to writing our service. When wedding day came he was on time, dressed professionally and allowed me to pick out his tie for the day, which seems so small but it’s a great touch to have. The service was amazing and beautifully written, he really couldn’t of done a better job. Thank you so much Steven, we loved working with you and are so happy that you are the one we chose for our special day!
One more thing... during our first meeting, Steven gave us some great advice. He said “wedding planning is hard, it will get stressful and you’ll want it to be over with already. But cherish every moment of it, because this only happens once so have fun with it!”
Every time things got to be too much, those words replayed in my head and allowed me to take a step back and look at the bigger picture and allow myself to not stress about the little things, and like he said.. to have fun with it! It really helped me get through the hard times of wedding planning. You never know how much simple words can have such an impact, so thanks for that too!
I don't think I or my wife can overstate how much having Steven added to our experience. When we first met to discuss our options he was warm, welcoming, considerate and personable, all attributes which carried through to the wedding service and after. From the minute you meet Steven Fricke, he is your advocate and a man in your corner. He was always available for discussion when necessary, good with response time, and he was genuinely interested in how we wanted our service performed, every step and every word. He was always available as a resource for support and assistance with any aspect of the ceremony when called upon, and we always felt secure that the whole process was well-managed. At the wedding rehearsal and on the day of our wedding, he was on-time and prepared. The rehearsal went off without a hitch, it was an easy and stress-free run-down of what was planned, and on our wedding day he attended to both of us, ensuring we were calm, happy and ready. The service was amazing. We cherished it ourselves, and we received compliments all night from friends and family who said the service was unique, beautiful and well-officiated. In particular, they all mentioned his open and honest manner, and his genuine care in what he does. Through it all, he never allowed us to get lost in the ceremony; it is very easy for the night to run away from both the bride and groom, until they both are left wishing they had more time to savor that once-in-a-lifetime moment with one another. He always made it about us, and ensured we would remember every second for the rest of our lives. In short, Steven Fricke made our wedding day as special as it was by keeping our focus on each other. We knew he cared, and so did everyone else!
I can’t express how great of a job Steve did on our wedding. It was personable and memorable, he definitely went above and beyond making it the best day of our lives. He is not only an incredible human being, but an amazing officiant. He is passionate for what he does, and it completely showed in our wedding. Everyone was over the moon with our ceremony, and we can’t thank Steve enough for making that happen!
Reverend Fricke performed a great ceremony, based on getting to know us in the initial meeting, and added unique features. Several guests commented on the uniqueness of the ceremony!! The problem is that he did not respond to emails or texts for weeks and provided no guidance past the first meeting. At one point, because we hadn't heard from him, we thought we would have to hire someone else to marry us!!!! It all turned out well, but just be aware you may have to send multiple messages to get a response.
I am so glad we ended up with Reverend Fricke for our wedding officiant. We ran out of options when the few churches we talked to either weren’t available or had stringent requirements to abide by. ‘A Day Made For Us’ was much more affordable than other officiant services in the area, and he literally customized the ceremony to our liking. Steven met with us a few times early on to hang out and get to know us, which was a nice gesture before what would be such a huge, sentimental occasion. We made several changes to the ceremony script and Reverend Fricke was so accommodating and responded quickly to all my questions throughout the entire planning process. At rehearsal, he really took the time to make sure we were comfortable with how everything was going to happen. He covered so many small details we wouldn’t have known to think about. We actually invited him and his wife to both our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception, and they really appreciated that gesture and had a great time! Our ceremony was flawless and I’m so thankful we had Reverend Fricke there to make it happen. He is friendly, personable, experienced, and so easy going. We could not be happier!
Reverend Steven crafted a beautiful and personalized ceremony that was just perfect for our wedding. He really took the time to get to know us in order to write something meaningful and unique. We had several guests tell us how much they enjoyed and were touched by our ceremony. Thank you Reverend Steven for everything!
Reverend Fricke was absolutely amazing. He met with us and took the time to get to know us and get a real feel for what we wanted. He designed a personalized service for us that was everything we wanted and more. He added all my special requests and provided us with the whole service early enough to make any changes we wanted. We didn't need to make a one! It was perfect. He arrived on time. Spoke to both of us and even matched his tie to our decor. Don't choose anyone else. You will not be disappointed. If I could give more than 5 stars I would😍
We couldn't think of a better person in this world to conduct our wedding than Steven Fricke! I mean do a wedding without Steven? No Fricken way! When we first met Steven at a local Starbucks we were blown away. He not only believes and views the world the same way we do in a religious standpoint, but he has a personality that makes you feel like you are with your best bud. We had a fantastic 4 hour conversation and didn't even look at the time. We instantly made a great connection with Steven. We walked to the car and looked right at each other and smiled because we knew we found the one. Steven is down to Earth, quirky sense of humor, and just straight up real. He isn't trying to sell you anything. He just wants to make people happy and loves God. He created a beautiful ceremony that I'm still getting 8262674 text messages and phone calls daily about. He said all the right things and made it all about us. He made sure he didn't cross any boundaries, included all we asked, crossed all his t's and dot all his i's. He truly made our day special. We seriously could not have done it without him. Not just because we of course needed an officiant...but because he made it special. We absolutely Fricken love Fricke!
