LD was amazing. She listens to all of your wants and ideas for your ceremony. I truly love her!
Everything with Daring Celebrations was wonderful! Lynda Daring “LD” was our officiant. She met with us in person and we knew she was going to be a great fit! She communicated throughout the entire process and the online planning tools were extremely helpful as well when deciding what we wanted for our ceremony! There were so many options offered to make your ceremony exactly what you imagined. We wanted religious components to our ceremony which she made come to life and we had so many compliments on our officiant/ceremony. Thank you LD!
Our officiant was Jen. She was easy to talk to and did our ceremony wonderfully. When we were first looking a meeting was set up so we could make sure that Jen fit our vibe- which I think is a wonderful idea! They had us use online planning tools to give details about the order of our ceremony;l, things we did or didn’t want included, and everything was completely customizable. We were sent the final draft to review and we’re able to make changes if needed. The day of Jen was on time and kept our ceremony short and sweet (how we wanted!)
Daring Celebrations came recommended by our venue and we could not be more pleased with our choice! Lynda Daring sent us a questionnaire about aspects we would like for our ceremony and she matched us with our officiant Marjorie. We felt a connection with Marjorie from our very first facetime call. My husband I planned our wedding from out of state, and Marjorie was incredibly communicative throughout the process. We only met a handful of times leading up to the wedding, but Marjorie always made us feel so comfortable, like we were talking to an old friend. Our friends and family thought we have known Marjorie for years! A wedding ceremony should really reflect who you are as a couple, and we truly felt how much Marjorie and Daring Celebrations cherish that process.
LD was an absolute treat to work with! She has a well-developed process to get to know couples, which allowed her to deliver a personal and heartful ceremony. You can tell she's an expert because she asks every question, and knows the value of spending time with the couple and getting to know you through the wedding planning process. She brings a lot of warmth, charisma, and levity to the ceremony, which is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you LD for making our day special!
Daring Officiants were so great to work with! They can curate a ceremony to your liking. We worked with Jenn who is so friendly and easy-going. Everyone complimented us on our ceremony. We got married in Maryland and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding officiant than the one we had! From the moment we first connected with LD, we knew we were in the presence of someone truly special. She played an integral role in making our wedding day not only memorable but also deeply meaningful and heartfelt.
Throughout the entire process, LD was incredibly helpful and supportive. She took the time to get dinner with us so she could get to know us as a couple, understanding our love story and what marriage meant to us. Her warm and compassionate nature made us feel at ease, and we felt like she was not just an officiant but a dear friend guiding us through this significant journey.
On the wedding day itself, LD delivered a ceremony that was nothing short of magical. Her words were eloquent and heartfelt, capturing the essence of our relationship and the commitment we were making to each other. What truly set our officiant apart was her ability to connect with our guests and her secret ingredient that she includes in the ceremony. It felt like she had known us for a lifetime, and that personal touch made all the difference in making our wedding ceremony feel intimate and special.
In conclusion, LD was an absolute gem, and we can't thank her enough for her invaluable contributions to our special day. She made our wedding ceremony truly memorable and meaningful, and her genuine care and support throughout the entire process were deeply appreciated. If you're looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to create a heartfelt and unforgettable ceremony, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend LD, and we are forever grateful for the beautiful memories she helped us create.
Jennifer was wonderful in helping to create such a personalized ceremony for my husband and me. Before booking Daring Celebrations & Ceremonies, we met with Jennifer to make sure we were a good fit. Once booking with Jennifer, she scheduled a meeting with us to find our vibe, and how we wanted to proceed with the ceremony. She provided a script, leaving some details as a surprise, that we could review before wedding day. On wedding day, Jennifer helped to articulate our love story perfectly. Our guests couldn't stop raving about our ceremony and how personal it was to us! Thank you for your help on our wedding day!
Working with LD was one of the easiest wedding decisions we had to make. From the initial zoom meeting, we could feel her passion in creating the most authentic, personal ceremony possible for my husband and I. We can’t imagine not having LD as our officiant, and the ceremony was honestly the wedding of our dreams! All of our family and friends have said how beautiful the ceremony was, and how incredible LD was! They all said it seemed as though we knew each other for years, and were surprised to hear that we had only known each other for several months through the planning process. It just goes to show how incredible LD is. Sometimes you meet people and just feel that connection, that special something, and she has it! From the little moments through planning, and just feeling like we were married by someone who really understand us as a couple and could see us for who we were, it’s been an incredible road together! LD was able to capture our relationship so well through her beautiful words, and it was MAGIC! The special touches meant so much, especially the handfasting and the secret question, which was our favorite! LD, you just got us SO WELL and there aren’t enough words to share our gratitude and love we feel towards you and our ceremony!
LD was the absolute best. We couldn’t of asked for a better officiant. She was there to answer all of our questions and help with all of our needs. Her way with words is absolutely amazing. We had a beautiful ceremony because she is such an amazing woman.
LD is the best!!! We got so many compliments about how unique our ceremony was and how amazing she was. She truly made us feel like we had known her all of our lives. Thank you LD!
Let me start by saying Lynda “LD” is fantastic! We absolutely loved having her officiate our big day. Finding an officiant was a worry of ours when we started to wedding plan. However, I knew as soon as I met LD at a bridal show that she was special and would be the person we picked to guide us through our ceremony. Lynda was punctual, organized and paid such close attention to detail. Her process made us feel confident and took away a lot of the stress that comes with planning a wedding. Lynda did such a wonderful job of understanding us as a couple and establishing a connection that many of our guests assumed, she was a family friend or relative. LD is so kind and caring that we would definitely choose her to be part of our family if we could !!! LDs support leading up to, during rehearsal and on the day of our wedding meant so much. I would highly recommend Daring Celebrations and Ceremonies, you will not be disappointed.
Wow! Where do I even start?! Lynda is a beautiful person inside and out! So many guests that attended our wedding have asked for her information, she truly is one of a kind. Everything comes right from her heart and she gave us the most beautiful ceremony ever! I will forever be grateful!
LD was our officiant for our July 2019 wedding and was so great and a pleasure to work with! She was always very welcoming to us, inviting us to her home before we decided to book her as our officiant, and very flexible with how we met and talked about our ceremony since my now husband and I were living in two different states. She always made us feel very comfortable to talk with her. She was able to make the ceremony very personable and captured both of our characters perfectly. Her “secret questions” was the one of the best things she put into our ceremony and we got many great comments on how emotional (in a good way) people got!
WE LOVE LD. Seriously, in the few times we met her she wrote a super sentimental ceremony for us. All of our guests loved her as well. They kept saying how awesome she was. She's so down to earth!!! She doesn't pick 1 of 7 scripts to read from; she really caters to the bride and groom and every ceremony is planned around the couple. Whatever you want, LD will do! She's the best!!!!!!!
L.D. is awesome. She is someone who you feel like you've known forever even when you just met. She has a way with words and is extremely perceptive. She was so open to what we wanted out of our non-traditional hand fastening ceremony and made such a special memory for us and our families. She speaks eloquently, and what she says will bring tears and laughs!
5 stars is not enough! 10 stars is not enough. LD was perfect. not only did we get to know her leading up to the ceremony, she took time to look past who we were and understand what connection we had to each other to make sure what she had to say was true to our love for each other. She is a new friend, but a new long term friend! And no one of our guest, not even one said anything but how beautiful a ceremony she put together for us. We would recommend LD to anyone anywhere anytime. She is truly amazing!
