Denise was incredible to work with! My now husband & I are not religious & were in search of an officiant that could simply wed us. Working with Tracy turned out to be so much more than we could have asked for! She helped us curate the PERFECT ceremony and made it unique to us as a couple, reflecting the beliefs we hold. Denise has a way of of bringing outdated wedding rituals, like "giving" the bride away into the present. This was important to family members, and Denise helped guide us and modified the ceremony so that both of our families gave us, as a couple, to one another. Denise is always timely with her responses and has a presence the night before and day of that is so calming, during the chaos of wedding day. Selecting an officiant was one of the tasks I was most worried about, next to having a great DJ, and I could not have made a better choice by reaching out to Denise. My wedding was just before the holidays & we ran into some issues getting our wedding certificate. Denise was SO quick to practically RUN down to the county clerk's office to rectify the situation and resubmit our marriage license. If you are thinking about working Denise, STOP thinking and just do! You will not regret it :)
We found Denise with very short notice and she was able to respond quickly. We met in person the following day and talked about our small ceremony. We had less than 50 people at our wedding and it was short and sweet. We stayed in contact about the ceremony elements via email. We loved having Denise be our officiant! She’s very experienced and we were so happy with our experience with her. We highly recommend Denise.
Rev Tracy was gracious and supportive as she helped us plan our wedding. She really helped make our ceremony special.
Any questions?
In the minister’s home.
Rev. Denise was incredible! We received so many positive comments from our guests about her facilitation of our ceremony. She and her husband were very kind as they welcomed us into their home for our in-person meeting to design our ceremony. Highly recommend!
Wonderful experience through and through. From the readings to the all details that went into our ceremony. Thoughtful and professional, made our special day even more memorable immensely grateful for all you did.
Denise made the whole process less stressful. She was easy to talk to and answered all my questions. Deciding on a ceremony layout was easy and fun! Thank you for everything!!
Denise did a remarkable job at officiating our wedding. I had looked for so long for someone and was incredibly lucky to have found her. From the very beginning to the day of she provided guidance and made something that can feel super overwhelming to something that goes off without a hitch. Her ceremony structure was beautiful and we received so many compliments on what a beautiful ceremony we had and it’s all because of Denise! I could not recommend her enough. Thank you so much!
Denise was great!!
I have known Rev. Tracy since I was in middle school. I knew would be the best fit to be my officiant. I did not realize how lucky I was! She is very detail oriented and knows how to set up a memorable ceremony! I am grateful to have had the opportunity to have her do something so important in one's life. I highly recommend her!
Denise married us at the start of the pandemic when our wedding got canceled and helped us restate our vows at our wedding ceremony two years later. Denise will go above and beyond for you.
She was great. Allowed us to make our simply ceremony exactly what we wanted and made it very easy to do so.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Denise was at officiating our wedding. She met with us before hand, was always available for a call, and was just an amazing person to work with. I called Denise a little under two months before my wedding and she was so clam and prepared.
Look no further, you have found your officiant.
Denise was an amazing officiant for our wedding! She met with us prior to the wedding on zoom to get to know us, walk through ceremony ideas, and answer all of our questions. She was in consistent communication with us leading up to the wedding and made sure the ceremony was to our liking. The day of the wedding went as expected and was perfect. Would definitely recommend Tracy to anybody looking for an officiant and would give more than 5 stars if possible!
Reverend Tracy worked with us leading up to the wedding to customize the ceremony. We weren't sure what we wanted to do in the ceremony so she sent us an email with many good ideas and then we worked the ceremony out over the phone.
The day of the wedding we did a rehearsal and then the actual ceremony. Everything worked out great and Reverend Tracy was a big part of making the day successful.
Reverend Tracy does a good job following up with you leading up to your wedding to make sure the ceremony details are planned and is very professional and warm the day of the ceremony.
I definitely recommend using Reverend Tracy to officiate your wedding.
We had Denise officiate our wedding and she ensured a smooth and easy process! From the initial planning meeting to the rehearsal, Reverand Denise went above and beyond to help make our special day everything we wanted it to be.
Wonderful and created a ceremony that felt like us
It was a pleasure working with Denise Tracy. She did a wonderful job helping us create a ceremony that was personalized to us. She was very attentive to our needs and offered great suggestions on improving our ceremony. We didn't have a formal rehearsal the evening before our wedding. On the day of the wedding, before the ceremony, she did a walkthrough with our wedding party and parents to make sure everyone was comfortable and knew where they needed to be. Everything ran seamlessly. Her professionalism and experience got us through our ceremony and we're very happy with how it all turned out.
Denise was kind, prompt, and very willing to lend her time with answering phone calls and emails. She gave us suggestions and guidance for building our ceremony but was open and supportive of ideas that we wanted incorporated. Her husband even came to take pictures of our backyard wedding! Thanks Denise!
Denise was great! She was very responsive and helped make our ceremony personal and unforgettable.
This was a second marriage for both of us. We had a complicated family situation. Different Faiths. Different Heritages. Denise helped us include both of our religions, honor both of our families. Our celebration was a joyous one. We both have children from previous marriages. They were included too. We heard repeatedly "This is the best wedding I've ever attended." We were so happy with the ceremony Denise created with and for us.
Denise was very helpful and patient with my husband and I through the whole wedding process. Because of the pandemic, we didn’t get to meet her in person until the rehearsal, but she was always willing to meet via Zoom and work through emails. She helped us greatly craft the perfect ceremony and helped us each write our own vows. People are still talking about how much they loved our ceremony.
Denise was a perfect match for our socially distanced small outdoor wedding. She was really helpful and guiding us through creating the ceremony. We did everything online during covid in 2020, she suggested few options to choose from and we were able to easily change and add the ceremony to be exactly how we wanted. She also gracefully signed more certificates and helped us with the paperwork when the county clerk lost the application due to covid. We can't thank her enough!
Denise was great, even during a COVID wedding! She was very responsive and understanding to all the changes that occurring during planning. The ceremony was amazing with options for us to add in special items that we wanted throughout.
Denise was enthusiastic throughout the ceremony and really made the entire experience wonderful. Would highly recommend!
Ms Denise, is a true gem!! My fiance and I eloped and our original day was set for 6/26/20; however, my now husband, had a health emergency and we had to push our event to 6/27/20 so that we could tend to his health matter. Reverend Denise came thru for us in a major way🎉🙌👑🎁🎊!! She gave us a new time and even found us a beautiful venue!!
When I tell you Ms Denise is a Godsend!! Her heart is gold and her desire to make YOUR day special iS her calling!! She followed up & communicated with me every step of the way, made sure we didn't leave anything to chance so that our wedding day was everything we wanted it to be and MORE!!
The vows were beautifully written and she made us feel very comfortable...like we family 💞 She was the only officiant to call & I am so grateful that she did!! Thank you Reverend Denise for bearing and walking in the fruits of the Spirit, in spite of EVERY problem that ATTEMPTED to rise up...your patience and kindness helped to make tying the Knot a breeze!!
P.S.
A huge thank you to Mr William, your husband, for the beautiful pictures and easing my (now) husband's anxiety!!🤦🏾♀️😄 U guys make an awesome team!!
BLES$INGS upon BLES$INGS to you both
Denise was our original officiant and still married us after we had to adjust our wedding to take place during quarantine. She was amazing to work with and helped us pick beautiful passages and readings - there was not a dry eye. She was very flexible when our plans had to change literally up until 2 days before the event. Denise provides great advice as well and explains the legal portions of the marriage (licenses and timing) based on her extensive experience. During our ceremony we were worried it would begin to thunderstorm yet Denise stayed calm and it was a very beautiful experience. I would HIGHLY recommend her as an officiant to anyone looking for a wedding, whether it’s your large dream wedding or if you need to have a small, private ceremony!
Denise was very sweet and kind!
We highly recommend Rev. Denise Tracy! She was a pleasure to work with and made our ceremony so special. Her experience and guidance with helping us plan the perfect ceremony was easy and fun. Denise is a joyful, comforting presence.
We highly recommend Denise! She helped us create the wedding we really wanted - small, at home, intimate. She provided us samples from other weddings to inspire us. She has a wonderful voice and even sang our choice of processional a capella!
Denise officiated at my daughter’s small, outdoor wedding, and she was a complete pleasure to work with. She provided guidance when needed, was flexible and accommodating and helped to make the wedding exactly what the bride and groom wanted.
We found Reverend Tracy on The Knot and could not have asked for anyone better. She was very accommodating to our vision and helpful in obtaining the balance we needed. Reverend Tracy tailored the ceremony to ensure that it was a positive experience for all involved as well as respected the religious beliefs of both of our families. We were able to meet with her prior to our nuptials and was awesome in her counsel on the concept of marriage.
She is an extremely caring and understanding person and continued to check on us periodically over the years to do a marriage “checkup”. My husband and I are blessed to have found her and she truly cares about all the people that come into her life. I referred her services to a friend that also used her and was extremely happy that she found Reverend Tracy.
My husband and I would highly recommend her services, she is not just someone who will officiate your ceremony but she will touch your heart and make your day extremely memorable!
Denise Tracy will go above and beyond for your wedding day. Our wedding is postponed due to the global health pandemic. Denise still married us in a park on our original date anyway. She is very easy to work with and delivered a beautiful ceremony. Can't wait to re-state our vows next year with Denise!
I have worked with many officiants throughout my wedding photography career and one that stands out to me time and time again is Reverend Denise Tracy. Her warm personality and genuine act to serve and get to know her clients on every level is remarkable. She truly is a gem and I’m so grateful to have witnessed her gift! - Wedding Photographer Candace Sims
Denise made our ceremony so special. Our families vary in their religious observance, so her approach helped us strike that perfect balance to make everyone happy.
Denise spent time to get to know us and create a ceremony that was perfect.
Denise was professional, versatile and understanding. We had a few specifics as to what we wanted our ceremony to look like and she took our wishes very seriously. She made it very easy to piece together our exact ceremony with a document full of options for the different parts of it. I sought her out after seeing her in action at a friend's wedding. I knew she would be the best officiant for us. She was also very patient with our bridal party when guiding us in rehearsal. I definitely would recommend her!
Denise is the BEST! Working with her was very easy even with us living out of town. She offered so many options and suggestions in how to organize our ceremony, which allowed us to tailor it to what we wanted and make it incredibly personal. We had Denise run our rehearsal, and her attention to detail, as with the ceremony, is impeccable! We are so happy we chose Denise to be our officiant and help us begin our life together as husband and wife!
Denise was wonderful to work with! She officiated our wedding on June 15, 2019. Like other reviewers mentioned, she was the first and only Officiant we met with because after our first phone call we felt so at ease and confident she was the right person to help us create a meaningful ceremony. Going in to our first meeting, we had some ideas of what we wanted the ceremony to include, but Denise gave us additional ideas and made it even more special. All of our guests complimented the ceremony and how lovely it was! Denise was so easy to work with, she quickly responded to emails and continually offered her help and guidance. If you are looking for a professional Officiant, I would strongly recommend Denise Tracy. She is awesome!
Denise was so wonderful to work with! I was an out of town bride and she was very flexible and worked with us on our ceremony primarily online. She made the rehearsal go smoothly and our ceremony was just perfect. We highly recommend her!
Denise was awesome for our wedding! Planning a wedding is hectic, but she made the ceremony planning process a breeze. We met and were able to put together a ceremony outline in a single day. There were tons of options to tailor it to your personal style or keep it traditional. She had the final outline to us quickly and everything was set. Our rehearsal went smoothly and the ceremony was phenomenal. Tons of guests came up to us and told us how sweet and fun the ceremony was. My wife and I couldn't have been happier with how it went!
Denise was amazing, she took the time to get to know a little about each of us and made sure to add in some personal touches into the service to make it even better then we could have hoped for.
Mark & Ingrid =)
I’m very happy that I picked Denise Tracy to be our wedding officiant. From the first initial contact, she made sure I knew we would create a ceremony that fit my husband’s and mine style. She answered my many questions throughout the entire process in a timely manner and was very helpful in providing suggestions that made our ceremony run smooth and beautifully. Denise was very professional and reliable which is key in choosing an officiant. So happy I reached out to her!
Denise was very understanding when my fiancé and I approached her! My fiancé was previously married, his wife passed away. It was very important to me that I would be able to express to the children during our ceremony just how much they mean to me. Denise was able to help my fiancé and I choice an appropriate and heart warming service. She is very down to earth and made it very clear to me that our wedding day was made for me and my fiancé, she was willing and able to help with anything we needed. my fiancé and I had made it known that neither one of us were willing to change religions (I and Lutheran and he is Catholic) and with Denise we were able to plan a ceremony that tailored to this need. Neither one of us felt rushed or pressured during the serval meetings we had with Denise, she was very understanding about my family history as well as my fiancé's. Denise was extremely inviting and calm during the planning process, which lifted a great deal of stress off my shoulders! She was also very efficient and professional, having the marriage certificate signed and ready for us after the service. She also printed out a copy of the readings for our own benefit and memories. My fiancé and I felt very much at ease with her and had all the faith in her that our ceremony would go off without a glitch! And it did just that! Denise was there to help with the arrangement of the wedding party, helping everyone learn and practice how they were to proceed down the aisle. She also knew what to look for when taking pictures, reminding the wedding party how and where to stand which helped me out greatly since I am a stickler for symmetry! My fiancé, now husband and I are so grateful to have met Denise, we were very happy with how the ceremony proceeded and very blessed to have had her officiate our wedding!
Denise was very professional and was very good getting our bridal party organized at our rehearsal! She was very easy to worked with and guided us in how to craft our ceremony. I had a harder time writing my vows and Denise was very willing to help and support me along the way. We ended up having a beautiful ceremony!
Denise did our wedding back in 2016 and we loved working with her to create a great ceremony specifically for us. We are excited to work with her again to baptize our son this year in 2018!
Denise was awesome. She met with us to create are version of are perfect day! We could not have been happier!
Professional, organized, personal, experienced and dedicated. We could go on for days listing positive adjectives to describe Rev. Denise Tracy. She is the officiant you are looking for!
In our initial meeting, Denise spent time learning about us, not only what was important for us to honor in our ceremony, but she really took an interest in learning our story as a couple. The ceremony itself was so intimate and personal to our families that there was not a dry eye in the house! When a last minute illness prevented out-of-town parents from attending, Denise helped us include them in our ceremony through Facetime! Less than a month before our wedding, Denise broke her leg badly but made sure that we were not officiant-less, keeping us informed throughout her ordeal. She made it to our wedding, broken leg and all, and made our day better than we ever could have imagined. Believe all the reviews -- she really is the best!
Denise was a pleasure to work with. Organized, professional, had great ideas, incorporated our own story in the ceremony, was on time, and had everyone’s attention when it came to the rehearsal! She knows what she’s doing, and it’s obvious. Use Denise if you don’t want to worry.
Where do we even begin with Reverend Denise?! Let me just say, if you are considering Reverend Denise, she is absolutely AMAZING. I would recommend her a thousand times over! We we were referred to Denise with 3 weeks to go for our wedding, after our prior officiant have a medical emergency and could no longer officiate our wedding. She was referred to us by our photographer who had photographed a wedding that Denise officiated and said she did an AMAZING job. I quickly called her, and after one phone call, I knew she was the one. She is the sweetest, most personable individual. She felt so bad about our circumstances and all she wanted to do was help us to make our wedding day perfect. She more than did this!! Four days before our wedding,Denise broke her ankle and had surgery and called to say she’d STILL be at our wedding and wanted to make sure it was okay she would be on a knee scooter!!!! She is literally the most dedicated person and she coordinated our rehearsal and wedding so perfectly. She had the whole crowd in tears with an incredibly beautiful and heartfelt ceremony. We received so many compliments about Reverend Denise. I cannot say enough good things about her kindness, dedication, and ability to touch the lives of all those around her. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and I know our paths crossed for a reason and I couldn’t be happier that they did!!! Such a perfect wedding day. Thank you soooo much!
Denise was incredibly reliable and punctual! She has a very special and insightful way of conducting a ceremony! My husband & I had no idea what we wanted to say to each other for our vows and yet, Denise helped us create a beautiful ceremony! She had this awesome idea to include our daughter who turned 6 years old, just before our wedding. We are so happy to have included her! We have been living in this bubble of joy ever since our wedding, and I believe Denise is the reason everything went so smoothly! We strongly recommend her as an officiant.
Denise was nice and easy to work with. We had no idea what to expect when it came to the ceremony and she made the planning extremely easy. She has many different choices at the ready, so all you have to do is select what you like best for each section of the ceremony. You can also provide anything you'd like added/replaced, and choose to write your own vows (which she gives you an idea of how to do). She is professional and you can tell she has done this many times. Would recommend.
If I could give Denise more than 5 Stars I would because she went above and beyond for us before, during, and after our wedding. Even though my wedding was in Las Vegas, I wanted Denise to be the officiant after I read the beautiful ceremony she had put together for us. She did not even hesitate to say yes when I asked her- and she started working right away on all of the paper work regarding licensing and MANY other items the state of Nevada needed from her. She worked relentlessly to make everything I wanted possible (there was even a point in time when she mailed something back and fourth more than twice because of how particular they were being). Never once did she make me worry, she took care of everything on her own and it meant so much to me considering I was originally going to be married be a complete stranger.
We met the day before my wedding to go over everything and during the rehearsal Denise knew exactly what to do , and was extremely helpful in planning the ceremony exactly how I wanted it.
Many of the people who attended my wedding said it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been to (and that was in the 105 degree heat!!!) 😊 .
In addition to all of those wonderful things, Denise is just as amazing in terms of the type of person she is. She is now almost like a mom to me, and she will always be a part of my life. I honestly cannot say enough good things!
Rev. Denise officiated at our wedding in 1983. She was a wonderful, creative support in all the preparations. The ceremony at MSU's Horticultural Gardens was perfect, beautiful.
Years later, Rev. Denise has supported us again as we prepare for retirement.
She is a joyful, comforting presence.
With gratitude,
Julie and Bill
Rev Denise helped us create a beautiful wedding ceremony. She is very easy to work with and helped us customize the ceremony to be a reflection of us as a couple. We received many compliments on how beautiful/enjoyable our ceremony was. Overall we would highly recommend her!
I could not be happier having chosen Denise as our officiant. We were rather particular with our ceremony in terms of the wording and level of personalizing. It was also on the longer side of traditional wedding ceremonies. Despite this, she worked tirelessly with us to ensure that everything we wanted was incorporated tastefully into the wedding ceremony. I had at least 20 people tell me that our ceremony was the best they had ever been to and that the specific part where she read the words we had written to each other was one of the neatest things they had ever witnessed at a wedding. That section was something we designed together and it couldn't have been more special to us an our guests. She is timely, efficient, and assertive, all of which are needed with a large bridal party when executing a rehearsal. I could not be happier with Denise and how my wedding ceremony turned out. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an officiant.
Denise did such an amazing job helping us create the perfect ceremony! On the day of she was excellent in helping smooth things over and everything was running a little late. She did an excellent job officiating the ceremony as everyone could hear her. We recommend her to anyone!
Denise was the best! She helped us tailor or ceremony to be the perfect rite for who we are and what we wanted to express to each other and our guests. Couldn't recommend a better person to officiate a wedding ceremony!
Denise was amazing! She was beyond helpful and even rescheduled her flight to make it to our last minute rehearsal. She had great materials and we couldn't have asked for a better ceremony!
My husband and I decided on the spur of the moment to get married at church rather than at court. With 24 hours notice Rev. Tracy put together a service that, had I had a year to plan, could not have been any more romantic and amazing. I left everything up to her and she chose the perfect vows for us.
What can my husband and I say about Rev Denise. She was the greatest and we are so glad that we had her marry us. Not only is she interested in you as a couple but she guides you in the process of the ceremony. We were able to meet with her and pick out exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. She made that so easy. She was some how able to combine what my husband wanted with what I wanted and make our ceremony special for us. Not only did she do all this but she kept everyone on track the day of the wedding and at the rehearsal dinner. We would highly recommend her!!!!
She had lots of ideas and materials to help us put together the perfect ceremony, and she customized things to get us what we wanted. Overall a very positive experience.
Denise was fabulous! She helped us formulate a vision that we absolutely loved. She was professional, prompt, and very personable. After my first conversation with Denise I knew I had found the right person. Denise was fun, warm and very easy to be with. As I look back on our special day through our wedding photos I'm so very grateful for her support and calming presence. I highly recommend Denise Tracy.
Denise was able to help us choose exactly what we wanted in our ceremony. She was wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her!
We cannot imagine anyone else being a more perfect officiant than Denise Tracy!
Do yourself a favor and save a lot of time and meet with Denise first when choosing an officiant.
Denise helped us to create a most magical, memorable, meaningful wedding day.
From the moment my now husband and I met Denise, we knew she was the right officiant for us.
To be honest, Denise was the first and only officiant we met with.
We had a hunch when we saw her online reviews, profile and photo that she was the officiant for us. When we spoke on the phone, her voice reinforced the initial feeling we had. Once we met, there was no need to look for anyone else.
We were looking to have a wedding ceremony that was unique to us, with special elements that have not been seen over and over, yet with a sense of tradition. Denise brought so many great ideas and suggestions and made the decision process easy.
Her experience and guidance with helping us plan the perfect ceremony was very easy and fun.
She has a great way of offering options and suggestions to create a unique wedding ceremony. Her vast experience and kind warm presence and energy is everything we wanted and needed.
We loved her so much we had Denise and her husband Bill join our reception!
Many of our guests commented on how wonderful she was and have asked for her contact information for their loved one's weddings.
If you are looking for an experienced officiant who will work with both you and your future spouse to create a personal magical ceremony... and then truly deliver on the day of the wedding, then Denise Tracy is for you too!
Reverend Denise Tracy was WONDERFUL! We were married 12/10/2016 at the Hotel Baker. Thanks to Reverend Denise - we were able to capture into words - what we truly wanted to say. She sat with us, learned about us, and I believe, truly cared about us.
As soon as I made the initial phone call..... I knew that we were in good hands.
We received so many compliments about the ceremony -- in part - because Reverend Denise was so instrumental in making sure we were all taken care of.
She officiated with style and grace, created an incredible moment for us.
We highly recommend her. AMAZING!!!!!
Denise was very organized and extremely down the earth. She was great to work with, we are so happy we had her officiate our wedding! Denise knows how to handle a large wedding party! She gave great suggestions as we weren't initially sure how we wanted to structure our ceremony. I highly recommend Denise. She made our special day magical!!!!!!! Thanks so much for everything :)
My husband and I got married on 9/9/16. We had a good idea of what we didn't want in a wedding ceremony, but no idea of what we actually did want. We met with Denise about six months before our wedding and discussed the importance of pleasing our more traditional Catholic family members without ever straying from our own secular views. The end result was a beautifully crafted ceremony that aligned with our views perfectly without distressing our Catholic family. Denise arrived early to our wedding and provided a very warm calming presence, something we needed after a long and stressful day to be able to focus on what the day is all about! The ceremony itself was fun and laid back, and afterward Denise mailed us the transcript of our ceremony for us to keep. We highly recommend Denise, especially if you have the tricky job of an interfaith ceremony.
Denise was a pleasure to work with! She helped us craft the perfect non-religious ceremony that reflected us as a couple while still paying tribute to our individual upbringings. We did not want a cookie cutter ceremony and Denise provided different options for us to select from to tailor a meaningful ceremony that we had not heard at previous weddings. Many of our guests commented on how unique and beautiful the ceremony was and that Denise did a great job officiating. Prior to the start of the ceremony, we had a bit of a health crisis with a family member and Denise was instrumental in keeping me calm and managing the situation so that we could continue according to plan. Our guests were unaware of the drama that had occurred and the ceremony was perfect! I highly recommend hiring Denise.
Denise Tracy was great to work with. From our first meeting, we felt comfortable with her. She offered great suggestions in helping us write our ceremony, all while understanding what we did or did not want to include. I would definitely recommend Denise as the officiant to any wedding ceremony!
Denise Tracy did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. My husband and I were a bundle of nerves and Denise's presence and preparation calmed us from the very beginning. We highly recommend her!
When my fiancee (now husband) and I were planning our wedding, we decided to get married at Anderson's Japanese Gardens in Rockford, Illinois. As a result, we needed to find an officiant to conduct the ceremony. After doing some research online and reading reviews from Wedding Wire and The Knot, we made an appointment to meet with Reverend Denise Tracy. We were very impressed with her experience and professionalism, and yet she made us feel at ease. She helped us in creating our personalized ceremony, as well as guide us through the rehearsal ceremony. On the day of the ceremony, she even coordinated her attire with that of my wedding party. The entire experience was flawless.
Denise did a great job at our wedding. We live in Denver and she worked with use over the phone and online leading up to the wedding. She was a very sociable person and fit in very well with the friends and family attending the wedding. We had a couple hiccups during the ceremony (nothing to do with Denise) she was able to role with it and hold a nice calm presence. Again thanks Denise for being a apart of our wedding!
The ceremony got done and ultimately, that's what matters, but every conversation with this officiant was rude and snide. I had bridal party members, family members and etc complain about her rudeness. She overall went with my wishes for my ceremony but fought every second of it and complained/ bad mouthed it. Overall, I would not recommend or choose her again. I was very unhappy with her attitude and overall rudeness and so were my guests.
Response from the Vendor on 06/12/2016
All those professionals working with this bride and her family tried to help make this wedding go smoothly. The bride tried to organize everything herself, and forgot detail after detail. Everyone, including me, bent over backward to help, to ...
support and to try to fill in the massive gaps of lack of organization. People drove for hours to fetch forgotten things, others walked around the venue in the 100 degree heat helping, and still the bride was unappreciative and angry. When I met with this couple I gave them a time line, which they agreed to and then they missed every deadline not just by days but by weeks. This was the way it was. I was not told the time of either the rehearsal or the ceremony. When a wedding is supposed to begin at 5:00 and starts at nearly 6:00...and everyone is trying to do everything possible to make it better...a little kindness for those people who are helping.... Their vows were lovely. I wish them much happiness. A wedding coordinator would have solved a myriad of issues as would have answering phone calls and e-mails.
It was a pleasure working with Reverend Denise on my parents' 50th Anniversary Vow Renewal ceremony. She was very professional, flexible and accessible to coordinate all the details. On the day of the event, her personable and easygoing personality made everyone fill comfortable and relaxed. The ceremony turned out beautifully and she helped to make the day very special for my parents and the rest of the family too.
Denise officiated at our marriage ceremony in 1988. She created a special and unique experience that addressed our needs and helped us navigate a difficult divorced parents situation. A year and half later she baptized our son. We contacted her again this year to ask for her help in getting a duplicate baptismal certificate for the same son, who is getting married this fall. After all this time, my husband I were thrilled to be remembered and so appreciated her help and understanding of the situation. I highly recommend her for your wedding ceremony!
Rev. Denise Tracy officiated our wedding ceremony on 10/10/15. The entire process with Denise was very easy. We drove out to her home in Elgin to pick our ceremony, and then about a month before we reviewed our choices again and made changes via email. It was very helpful that she had a list of options for us to pick from for every part of our ceremony. If you have done any research on ceremony readings you will know how valuable this is! Denise attended our rehearsal and did an outstanding job on our wedding day. If you are looking for someone who is professional and easy to work with pick Rev. Denise Tracy.
We wanted our wedding ceremony to be intimate so we would stay connected with each other through the day and not get lost in the details. We met with Denise at her home and selected special readings from her book to say during our ceremony and we also each wrote our own vows that we sent to her before the ceremony.
We arrived at the Lily Pond on our wedding day with only our photographers and Denise was already there waiting for us by the water with a big smile. The ceremony was private and beautiful. My wife is from South Africa and I memorized my vows so that I could say them in Afrikaans. Only Denise knew that I was going to do that and it surprised my wife so much that she cried. Denise was wonderful in guiding us with our vows.
We planned our wedding from San Diego and so we really appreciated Rev. Denise. She was so flexible in planning from a far and allowed us to create our ceremony through the selection of different formats and readings of our choice. We met with her once in person to plan and then she also came for a rehearsal for our wedding on a yacht. She was very calm and seasoned in her delivery for the big day. Thank you again Denise!
Bob and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have a wedding ceremony with Reverend Denise Tracy. Mrs. Tracy was extremely professional and provided a quality portrait of two loving parents and a beautiful grandson.
Above all, I really appreciate that Denise understood my exceptional daughter-in-law and was concerned about making sure she had a wedding that we will all remember. It was a special day in every way for my family. One that was outstandingly planned and executed.
Denise made us all feel a part of their day, and was concerned we were all taken care of; an extremely kind and polite person, with consummate manners.
I would highly recommended the Reverend Denise Tracy to our friends because of our experience with her! This was the best wedding I have been to.
Sincere thanks and gratitude, from the Langlois Family.
Denise was the officiant at our daughter's wedding. She also ran the rehearsal the previous evening. Denise gave very detailed instructions on how to walk, where to walk to, how to stand, etc. Everyone was prepared. The wedding ceremony went very well and everyone thought the ceremony was lovely. She made the combining of two traditions (Japanese and Jewish) in the ceremony come together very naturally. We would recommend Denise.
Rev. Tracy was distinguished in the facilitation she provided to our wedding. Her experience, sensibility, and insight were key in helping us taylor our wedding ceremony in a personal and meaningful way as to include all the very important people in our families. With her guidance and support, we had a memorable intimate ceremony that reflected our sensibilities.
Everyone said our ceremony was beautiful! It was custom tailored to us. She was able to blend both of our religions and mention our families during the ceremony, which I though was really touching. Rev. Tracy even got a little teary eyed during our ceremony. We couldn't be happier. A friend of mine said she would definitely recommend Rev. Tracy to anyone she knows who is looking for a wedding officiant.
Denise Tracy is wonderful! We met originally because she is one of the chaplains for our work. When we decided to get married - we were overjoyed to select her to conduct our ceremony. She is always been loving, kind and considerate. We started this journey with her sitting us down and guiding us how to pick our vows. We were at complete ease. The day of the ceremony came and she arrived early and was a calming presence. The ceremony was beautiful and wonderful. Thank you so much Denise for being apart of our most special day.
Denise was fantastic. She officiated our wedding in downtown Chicago on 9/5/2015. She helped eased our nerves and answered all of our last minute concerns. She was very professional and fun at the same time. Our ceremony was perfect for us. I would recommend her to other couples that need an officiant for their wedding.
