About this vendor
It would be a pleasure to be a part of one of the most exciting days of your life. I love what I do and I work extensively with each couple to create a ceremony that reflects who they are. Each couple can have as much input as they would like by adding special quotes, poems or readings that mean something special to them.
I only do one ceremony a day so my time is strictly devoted to you and your special day.
The vows are the special words during the ceremony that unite each couple. I will provide information if a couple wants to do them on their own but are not certain of how to put those words together. I can also create your vows for you if you wish.
It would be a pleasure to work with you to create the perfect ceremony to complete your special day.

Denise was great to work with! The entire process was easy from the first phone call to the wedding day. She used questionaries to get to know us better and had many great readings for us to choose from. The ceremony was personalized to us and Denise worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. She was helpful during rehearsal as well. We recommend her to any other couples looking for an officiant!
Very professional and articulate. I had no idea what to expect and Denise instructed us where to be and where our surprise witness was to stand!
Incredible officiant. Denise made everything so seamless and straightforward. Her willingness to create a ceremony that was personal to me and my husband was outstanding. She also officiated my sister's wedding in 2021. Highly recommend 11/10.
Denise was amazing to work with for our wedding ceremony. She fully customized our ceremony and made it unique and special to us. She is a pro at what she does. The entire process was seamless including the wedding rehearsal. When we weren’t sure of certain logistics she stepped right in to offer her guidance and support. She made a game plan and successful wrangled our entire bridal including an unruly flower girl. Each of us knew exactly what to do come wedding day and the ceremony was flawless and beautiful.
We were looking for an officiate last minute! Denise was able to marry us. Denise is absolutely amazing. She brought such warmth and joy to the ceremony, making it truly unforgettable for us and all of our guests. Her words were heartfelt and meaningful, and she did a fantastic job of capturing our love story and values. The officiant's calming presence helped ease our nerves, and she conducted the ceremony with grace and professionalism. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to marry us, and we are so grateful for the beautiful memories Denise helped create. Thank you for making our wedding day so perfect!
Denise is AMAZING!! She helps you prepare, is well organized, and goes above and beyond to ensure the big day is perfect! Denise is very professional and responsive. Can honestly say that we could not have done this without her! Highly recommend!!
My husband and I used her at the last minute and we couldn't have been happier with our ceremony. Highly recommend 😁
Denise truly made our day! She was very professional, but so personable with everyone. She made our ceremony custom to us and truly captured what we are as a couple. Denise knew exactly what needed to be done and was available for any questions that we had. We were so lucky to have her for our day and it would not have been as successful if we didn’t have her on our team. We wish we could get married again just so we could work with her!!!
Denise was lovely! She did our wedding and we really enjoyed working with her, she’d be great for yours too!
Denise did a wonderful job with our ceremony. She was so kind to help us when we planned a wedding within 6 weeks! She made sure every detail was perfect and completely personalized our ceremony.
Denise was amazing! She spent time with us before the wedding so she could get to know us personally and was able to make our ceremony about "US". She was helpful with every detail. I received a great deal of compliments from family and friends on how wonderful the ceremony was. We couldn't have done it without you Denise! Thank you so much for what everything you do!
Our family raved about the ceremony that Denise prepared for us! She was easy to work with and perfect for what we were looking for. We would highly suggest her to anyone looking for a officiant.
Denise did an awesome job for the wedding!!

Such a great experience! Highly recommend
Denise was very kind throughout the entire process. She did a wonderful job on the ceremony for our small wedding. Would absolutely recommend
Denise was amazing to work with! She was super attentive and really has a way with words. I felt like she really took the time to make our ceremony special and about me and my husband. I had a bit of an unorthodox ceremony that included a memory lantern for my grandpa being walked down the aisle. Denise did an amazing job and incorporated that into our ceremony beautifully. All of her readings and our vows were perfect for us. She was super professional and informative. Any questions you have she will answer and make sure your needs are met on your big day. I cannot say enough positive things about her. I highly recommend her! She was amazing.
Denise responds very quickly and ensures to make the ceremony unique to the couple’s preferences. You can tell she loves doing this!
Denise did a fantastic job on our ceremony! With her experience and organization she makes the process streamlined and effortless. She gets all the personal details and put us in charge of what we wanted for our ceremony, and made our day even more perfect!
Denise did a great job with our ceremony. She was so patient, responsive, experienced and professional. We received so many compliments on how well put together the ceremony was. Everything flowed together so nicely. She was easy to work with and so so helpful.
Denise was amazing! Very easy to work with and she really took the time to get to know me and my husband to make our day the best day ever! When having to repeat my vows I needed her to repeat them for me and we were able to laugh about it and get through the ceremony smoothly. We can’t thank you enough for being apart of our wedding day.
Denise was amazing. She made our process of putting our ceremony together smooth and she preformed our ceremony beautifully!
Denise was absolutely perfect! She really took the time to get to know us in order to make the perfect ceremony. She even went above and beyond when things got a little hectic on our end the day of the wedding. If you are looking to be stress free and to have someone trustworthy I highly recommend booking with Creative Ceremonies. Thanks for keeping everything in order for us on our special day Denise!
Denise and her husband were so friendly and loving the entire time!! We are so appreciative of the personal and perfect ceremony they gave us. Everything went even better than we expected, and our expectations were high🤍🤍
Denise was wonderful to work with! She made writing our vows fun and meaningful to us. She was very professional and well spoken during the ceremony.
Denise was amazing and she performed our ceremony just the way we wanted! We planned our elopement quick and she was so easy to talk to and plan everything with! She made the day easy and stress free which is all we could have asked for!
Denise was a pleasure to work with! Her punctuality, professionalism, and positive attitude made for a lovely experience! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Denise officiated our wedding and was wonderful to work with! Everything went so smoothly, we were really lucky to have been referred to her! I would absolutely recommend her if you’re in the market.
Due to COVID restrictions, we had to cancel our wedding... however, Denise worked with us to get our refund and she was super responsive which it really helps in a situation like the one we were in.
Before COVID, she was amazing to work with. She walked us through the whole process and she made us feel soooo excited about our ceremony (even more than what we were!) We recommend her 100% and it so sad we won't be able to have her marry us. We were really looking forward to her service.
Denise did an amazing job putting together our entire ceremony. She was easy to work with and was available for any questions we had. I had many people compliment us on the ceremony. I highly recommend Denise!
Denise was absolutely amazing! From our first meeting via Zoom we knew that she was the right personal to make our ceremony perfect. She was so easy to talk to and made sure that we were apart of building the ceremony every step of the way! She took information from our wedding website and made the ceremony so personal and that made all of the difference! She is a must have for your wedding!
Denise was great to work with! We finalized our booking late due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID, however this was no issue for Denise. She was flexible and responsive. We felt comfortable with Denise from the start. Together we created a great ceremony that was fitting for my husband and I. We would definitely recommend Creative Ceremonies to anyone. Denise is fantastic.
I hired Denise from afar. I live in Tucson and my niece's wedding was in Michigan, and my niece lives in Calif. I had intended to conduct the ceremony myself, but due to COVID, we weren't able to travel. Denice was so sensitive to the fact that I was missing out on the experience of officiating at my favorite niece's wedding. She incorporated the little personal ceremonial text I wrote, added to it in a most wonderful way, worked closely with my niece, and then when an emergency popped up - she acted in a most ethical and professional manner. I so highly recommend Denise to officiate. I will forever be grateful to her for holding our hands through this process and capturing the essence of our family.

Denise was amazing! She was incredibly helpful and made the entire process easy for us.
Denise is absolutely wonderful she was very professional and well spoken. We had to change our plans due to the pandemic and we had a very small ceremony on a very hot day and Denise came out and performed a beautiful ceremony for us. We were lucky to find her! Thank you so much Denise!!!
Denise was a dream to work with! Extremely thoughtful, detail oriented, and very sweet. She really was perfect for our secular ceremony and everyone is still talking about how magical it was. From the first time we met with Denise I knew that she would be amazing to work with. She comes prepared and makes sure that both you and your partner are prepared as well. Truly, she brought the ceremony we had dreamed of to life. I would give 10/10 stars if I were allowed.
Just wanted to say thank you to Denise for her wonderful work officiating our fall themed wedding. Denise was very calm despite the short time frame we gave her to work with (less than three weeks). She gave us direction in writing our own vows and gave us beautiful ideas to help us celebrate our love- including sweet readings and suggesting a wine ceremony. She helped our wonderful international wedding come together. We would highly recommend her, particularly for those couples who are super anxious or need a little extra help putting the romance into their special day!

Very awesome person! Not only that but she officiated my mom first, I had to go through with her. She did the ceremony without a stutter and had my wife and I both crying tears of joy. Denise is definitely the way to go!
Denise is fantastic! For our wedding, she took an exceptional amount of care to ensure our ceremony reflected us as a couple.
She really invested herself in getting to know us and understanding what we imagined to be our ideal wedding. Denise also brought very helpful advice and ideas, ultimately partnering with us to design something even better than what we originally had in mind.
By the time our wedding came around we felt very confident. Denise has a calm and reassuring style, which came across both in the planning and the delivery of the ceremony. She's also a lot of fun!
We would have no hesitation in recommending Denise/Creative Ceremonies.
My husband and I got married in May and we could not have been happier with the ceremony Denise created for us! It truly fit us both perfectly. I received so many compliments about it from friends and family at the reception! Denise really made the process so simple and we were even able to read a copy of it beforehand! I hands down recommend her to anyone who is getting married!
Denise worked with us for our wedding and did a great job! She was able to attend our rehearsal short notice, her services were affordable and she worked with us to complete our vows and printed them out on keepsake cards for us as well.
We were very happy with her services!
Denise with Creative Ceremonies made my wedding day the best it could have been. She was so easy to work with and answered all the questions I needed answers to. Her delivery was amazing! I highly recommend Denise with Creative Ceremonies to all brides looking for
a wedding officiant to make their wedding day perfect!!
Denise was amazing! She was extremely professional and easy to contact when we needed anything regarding our wedding. The ceremony was beautiful, and we have her to thank!

She was on time to our big day and always available to answer any questions! I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Denise for making our wedding day so special ❤️
Denise officiated my wedding and she was great. My husband and I appreciated her ability to be organized and timely! She was easy going and flexible with us when needed.
Denise was amazing!
Denise was beyond wonderful to work with! She was super sweet, kind, and helpful. With as much as Denise encourages you to make the ceremony "yours," she is also always there to assist you in your decision making and offering recommendations on what to do if you ask. Denise magically wraps up all your wants, needs, and requests into a beautiful package that she effortlessly delivers at the ceremony. I also had numerous relatives approach me after the wedding and state how wonderful our officiant was and how much they enjoyed her.
Denise is nothing short of amazing! We felt comfortable with her from the minute we met with her. She was very organized, and showed us exactly what we could expect from her. She made it easy to incorporate our own personal story into our ceremony to make it unique. At the rehearsal she was very patient and organized. She was a joy to work with and we knew we were in great hands!!
Denise was amazing! She was very helpful from start to finish. She walked through what we should do when we should do it. If you are getting married, shop looking because you just found your officiant. Denise will take care of you and make sure your day goes perfect. She speaks clearly and with feeling.
I am so very happy to have asked her to be the officiant for our wedding. She was a great addition :)
Denise was the absolute best officiant we could have ever asked for. From the first day we met her to go over details of the wedding, we felt completely comfortable with her and elated with joy that we were lucky enough to find the perfect person to conduct our ceremony. Denise is extremely easy to communicate with and you can tell she absolutely loves what she does. I had made some last minute changes to my vows and speech literally the night before the wedding and Denise was still able to make the changes and print them out for me a second time and even had them neatly laminated and waiting for me at the wedding.
Thank you so much Denise for making our ceremony better than we could have ever imagined, it really was a fairy tale ceremony for us. I wish we could do this every year!
With love, Jess and Amy Berline
Denise was absolutely amazing. The ceremony was just perfect. I had many compliments from guests also on the amazing job she did. Thank you again Denise!
Denise was great - she really helped customize our ceremony and was very helpful. We were very busy with a move in a new city and she made sure everything was completed perfectly.
Denise was the best choice we could have ever gone with! She has been attentive, detailed, patient, personable, pleasant, enthusiastic, and so much more about our wedding from day one!!! She was clear and concise at our ceremony and we got raving reviews about her from our guests. When we laughed, she laughed with us! She is incredibly organized, so sweet and we are so blessed to have had her marry us. You are the best Denise! Thank you!!
Denise was absolutely wonderful on our wedding day! Her experience and efficiency helped calm a nervous bride (me)! She did an amazing job at our rehearsal, our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and truly beautiful, and she handled chaos due to weather perfectly. I would highly recommend Creative Ceremonies!
Denise was wonderful throughout this whole process! My wedding was on 6/9/18. She always responded promptly to any emails or texts. She knew what she was doing and confidently educated us about the marriage license process. I did not want a religious ceremony and she easily adapted and gave us many options for different readings. Working with Denise was a very pleasant, stress-free experience which is so valuable to a Bride on her wedding day! In regards to the actual ceremony day, she was at the venue early, dressed very nicely, and spoke clearly for everyone to hear. Additionally, she made sure our marriage license was completed correctly and sent it in so we didn't have to worry about it as we went on our honeymoon right away! I would highly recommend her for your special day because she made mine exactly what I wanted!
Our experience with Denise shattered expectations. She was professional, organized, and worked with us to create and perform the ceremony of our dreams. Bias aside, we've been to countless ceremonies and we truly feel Denise is the best officiant we have ever experienced. If she is available on your special day, you should hire her.
Denise is wonderful. Working with her was such a rewarding and hassle-free experience. She listened to us so well and guided us in preparing for our wedding. She was very well organized and professional all of the time. She comes to meetings prepared with a whole packet full of suggestions and makes the process very easy. She was patient and prepared our family and wedding party so well at rehearsal. She makes sure the marriage license process is clearly understood and done correctly. Our ceremony was beautiful and I appreciate all of the time and thought she put into making it exactly what we wanted. She is passionate about what she does and it shows through in her performance.
Denise was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! She wrote us such a beautiful ceremony, there wasn’t a dry eye in the chapel! She was genuinely excited to be a part of our big day and was there for anything we needed along the way.
Denise was a pleasure to work with. She made everything simple and was available to answer all of our questions very quickly. She was very professional, early for our ceremony and 100% ready to go.
Our ceremony was beautiful, we received a lot of compliments! It was unique to us and exactly what we wanted.
We would definitely recommend Denise to anyone looking for someone who laid back and very professional.
