Dustin DeJong

Dustin officiated our wedding in October of 2024. He did a fantastic job weaving in aspects about us and about marriage. He was easy to communicate, prompt, and asked clarifying questions. He said also shared a PDF of our ceremony after.

Dustin's premarital counseling has positively influenced our experience as newlyweds. Throughout our sessions, Dustin presented us with thoughtful topics for discussion, demonstrating genuine acceptance of both my fiancé and me. He was attentive to our individual spiritual journeys and facilitated our growth together. The readings and activities he provided consistently engaged us and helped us to appreciate the broader aspects of love and marriage. We recommend connecting with Dustin for premarital counseling.

Dustin was great to work with and his energy was exactly what we wanted for our special day. All night long we took compliments on our fantastic officiant and the perfect ceremony that he helped us create. It was precisely what we wanted - touching, personal, funny and insightful. We were initially nervous to trust someone to officiate our wedding who we did not have a personal relationship with, but he immediately made us feel comfortable and asked us thoughtful questions that helped him produce a service that felt like he had known us for years. I can't say enough good things about the experience.

Dustin was a true gem! From the moment we started chatting, his friendliness and warmth put us at ease. He made the entire process easy and stress-free, and his kind words during the ceremony were incredibly touching. Plus, scheduling with him was a breeze. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to make our day even more special.

Dustin did such a wonderful job! We were from out of town and so we only communicated virtually and officially met the day before at the rehearsal. We received glowing compliments about our ceremony which Dustin did so wonderfully. We even got compliments on our “life-long friend” because he was that good! He gave such a great message and was so professional. 10/10 you should have Dustin do your ceremony!

Dustin did such an amazing job and exceeded our expectations! We had a destination wedding, but many of our guests asked us if we knew him personally because of how personal he made the ceremony feel. Thank you Dustin for making our wedding day perfect!

Wonderful job

Dustin was AMAZING! We had originally planned a wedding in April, due to personal reasons, we needed to speed things up. Dustin was fantastic at accommodating on such short notice. He led us through a short but beautiful ceremony.

Dustin was wonderful! We wanted a very casual and quick ceremony out in the desert with a couple family members, and he was the perfect officiant! He was genuine, charming, professional and easy to work with. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant.

We were very skeptical hiring an officiant as we wanted a family member to perform our ceremony. Dustin was very reassuring and even met us for coffee for an interview to make us feel comfortable! Day of and the entire week after everyone was just giving compliments and praise on what a beautiful ceremony we had and how amazing he was. We couldn’t of been happier with all the loving and valuable words given during our special day. I truly believe Dustin deserves more stars than we can give. It was just too amazing to put into words ! Thank you Dustin for everything you have done for us, I can guarantee our wedding wouldn’t of been as beautiful without you there !

Dustin was a wonderful officiant. He is very nice and easy to work with. He gave a beautiful speech for our marriage ceremony and catered to how my husband and are together. 100% recommend!

As soon as we met with Dustin we knew he was going to be the one to marry us. He highlighted so many important values in marriage. He is genuine, professional & overall amazing. Our ceremony was beautiful and Dustin really set the tone. He had our guest engaged and spoke beautifully.

Dustin was amazing! He really made everything so easy and was a good calming factor to the day. I didn’t have a worry about the ceremony because I knew he would make it perfect!

Dustin did an amazing job! He has a fantastic personality, he’s a great listener and he looked the part too ! Our ceremony was perfect and exactly what we asked for. Short and sweet but still so special!

Dustin was an wonderful officiant. He exceeded all of our expectations and was great to work with. He made sure all went smoothly the day of. He helped give my husband and I the ceremony we had hoped for. Simple but meaningful. We highly recommend Dustin.

Dustin married my husband and I this past weekend and it was perfect. He did exactly what we had in mind and my family loved him. It was simple and comfortable. Before we officially hired him he called to have a phone conversation to learn all about my husband and I and find out what we wanted for our ceremony. Very happy that he was there to help make our day as memorable as it was.

Dustin took the time to personalize a ceremony rooted in love and our faith. We are so grateful that we were able to contact him and that he was so willing to work with us last minute. He communicated through planning and had great ideas to make everything perfect. We sprung a marriage knot on him last minute and he worked it into the ceremony seamlessly. If you’re looking for an officiant Dustin is your guy! Thank you again !

Dustin was quick to respond when I was inquiring about his services. He set up a phone meeting and immediately after sent invoice to pay deposit and a questioner to complete. Once my date was confirmed, deposit was made and my fiancee and I filled out the questioner. I was very surprised at the wedding that nothing we put in his questioner was mentioned or even referenced. We asked for a Christian wedding and he brought a tablet to read off of instead of a bible. He also lost his thoughts in the middle of me saying my vows. I know this can happen to anyone but was a little awkward at that important moment. After the ceremony, he had us sign the marriage licence and said he would send off immediately. We left for our honeymoon to return home a week and a half later and learn he still had not sent it off. I text him to ask if he had sent it when we returned and no responce. I then called the courts the following day to find out it had not been sent. I text again to inform the courts did not have the license. I offered to come pick up from him and take to the courts. He responded to that text saying sorry for the delay and he had now mailed it. It took 18 days for the court to receive the license from the day we were married. Last thing to share is I sent a message asking if he had a copy of our ceremony/vows he could send me by email so I could print and hang. He never responded again. Very disappointed.

Dustin was such an amazing minister to work with on so many levels! We met with several different people and I am so glad we chose to work with him. Not only was he accommodating and easy to work with leading up to the ceremony, but after as well. My now husband and I had a situation where we had to get our marriage license signed two days after our wedding and Dustin willingly agreed to meet us to get it done. Not to mention he answered our calls on Thanksgiving Day! (Our wedding was Thanksgiving weekend). He is incredible and performed a beautiful service for us. We will never forget it!

We knew we wanted to book Dustin as our officiant after our first meeting. He is so relaxed and made us feel instantly comfortable. Dustin was available during the planning process for any questions that we had and also reviewed our vows before our wedding day. Many of our guests complimented how well our ceremony ran thanks to Dustin. We are so thankful we had Dustin a part of our special day!

I would give 10 stars if I could! My ceremony readying was beautiful. It was perfect, and if I hadn’t paid for my makeup tears would have been flowing for sure! He got it completely right and my partner raved about how friendly and funny he was. I am so happy that this was the officiant for my wedding. Thank you sincerely for a wonderful job, I know my now husband and I are so grateful you were a part of the very long process!

Dustin was amazing !! We received multiple compliments on how well the ceremony went. Would not change a thing, thank you again Dustin for our perfect day💜

We loved his service! He was a fluent talker, did exactly what we asked him to do and was very enthusiastic the whole ceremony! He paid very close attention too details! We highly recommend him to officiate at your wedding!

I have to start off by saying that it took me almost a year to find an officiant for our wedding because I was being picky. With it being June in Tucson I knew I wanted it to be a quick outdoor ceremony, while still somehow having real meaning and reflection so that it didn’t feel like we were in a rush to get through it. We were back and forth with asking a friend or a casual officiant, but then I knew I wanted someone with at least a bit of a religious background. We asked if he could direct the ceremony in a way for non religious and also religious people at the same time. And Dustin far exceeded anything and everything we could have imagined. After our initial video chat with Dustin we knew instantly he was our guy! He was very quick to respond to anything we asked, completely comfortable with any of our requests, and showed up early for rehearsal and the wedding. Our guests and our wedding venue (who has seen a lot of vendors) are still talking about how professional he was, how everything he said was so genuine and that you could tell he really cared to make our ceremony what we wanted. It’s not just a “job” to him. The ceremony is the entire reason a wedding comes together and I think people these days try to make it too carefree. But Dustin pulled in the serious with the light hearted wit perfectly and capturing a group of 140 and getting them to actually listen can be tricky. You can tell Dustin is a great listener, kind, and sincere, everything you would want in a pastor or someone to officiate your special day. I could go on for pages about how great he was! Seriously, hire him, it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day and marriage!

Dustin performed a lovely ceremony and was continually understanding and helpful throughout the process leading up to the wedding and during the reception. He even brought us water during our photos after the ceromony as it was a bit warm out. We would definitely recommend him to be anyone's wedding officiant!

Dustin is a friendly person and we were very pleased with what he said at our wedding! He answered all my questions in a timely manner, as well as my husband’s. He showed up on time and he left promptly after taking some photos with us while signing our marriage license! I did not want to stand for a long period of time, and Dustin did a great job of keeping the ceremony short (15 minutes I think?) while keeping the integrity of it! We would recommend Dustin to anyone who asked.

The first thing that comes to mind in my experience with Pastor Dustin is his warm and inviting demeanor. Having witnessed multiple weddings, he has an obvious desire to create a unique experience for each couple, that is about them. Not about anything else. It’s refreshing to hear a wedding officiant highlight the important aspects of beginning a marriage and encourage the guests to take part in what a true celebration the day is and should be. He is concise, clear and enjoyable. I truly do see the joy he has in participating in a couples most joyous day. Creating a memory of how two are joined should be one filled with fondness. It is clear Dustin takes great care in creating a memorable, exclusive and very special ceremony, unlike any I have seen before. He comes with high praise and high recommendation! You will not be disappointed.

Through or venue, Reflections at the Buttes, we were put in contact with our officiant, Dustin. We got lucky! Dustin was awesome. He wanted to get to know a bit about us before the ceremony and he adjusted to us as a couple and what we wanted for our ceremony. "Short and Sweet" I believe is what we asked for, and Dustin delivered. Yet nothing was cut short or seemed rushed. It was the perfect amount of time, he said all the right things. We even had a minor adjustment a few days before the wedding, and he was 100% up for it. Dustin was easy to reach out and communicate with, which is pretty important for an officiant. I'm glad we had the opportunity to work with him and I would recommend him if you are in search of a flexible yet professional and honest officiant. Thanks Dustin for being a part of our special day!!
