I cant say enough good things about Dawn and how she made our wedding day perfect! Leading up to the big day she was a huge help in creating the perfect ceremony that truly felt like us. She offered her expertise when we needed it and in the end she had tailored the ceremony exactly how we wanted. She is also an MVP of the events industry and knows everyone so she was also super helpful recommending other amazing vendors that she's worked with. The day of she brings such a vibrant and joyful energy that calmed me down right when I saw her. Everything went absolutely perfect and I still have family commenting on how lovely she was and how warm the ceremony felt. I cant recommend working with Dawn enough!

We had a great experience working with Dawn! She helped us create the perfect wedding ceremony and had some creative and unique touches that nicely reflected us as a couple. She had a clear plan for the ceremony and helped keep us on task so there were no disruptions. Many of our guests commented on how they felt our ceremony was one of the most beautiful and sentimental they had ever witnessed and that was in large part due to Dawn's vision.

We worked with Dawn for our wedding, and it was probably the best decision we could have made outside of marrying each other. We both felt comfortable, understood, and like we had a rock-solid teammate who knew their stuff. If you are considering hiring Flutterby, it comes HIGHLY recommended by us. We had an amazing ceremony that was complimented by our friends and family, and we have Dawn to thank for that. She also suggested ideas for the ceremony as well as traditions to continue that we are looking forward to celebrating! Absolutely wonderful officiant. We cannot recommend them enough, do yourself a favor and try to book them!

Dawn was incredible, she made the ceremony something truly special and unique to us. We could not have asked for a better way to show our love for each other. I had so many people compliment me on the ceremony and I have to give all that credit to Dawn, she truly captured us in our ceremony and our friends and family felt the same. As a couple who is not religious, we were nervous about finding someone to marry us and I am so grateful someone recommended Dawn to us. Please do not hesitate to use her (or her husband) for your wedding!

We were absolutely thrilled with Dawn and Ralph as our wedding officiant. From the very first meeting, they made us feel completely at ease and took the time to understand our story, values, and vision for the ceremony. The way they personalized every aspect made the ceremony feel truly unique and special to us.
Ralph has a warm, engaging presence and delivered the ceremony with a perfect balance of heart and humor. Our parents were full of compliments about how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was.
If you're looking for an officiant who is professional, thoughtful, and passionate about making your day unforgettable, I can't recommend Dawn and Ralph highly enough!
Thank you, Dawn and Ralph, for making our day so magical!

Dawn and Ralph were a joy to work with during our wedding planning process. They had ideas & suggestions for the ceremony, which was great for us since we had no idea where to begin. Ralph performed the ceremony and did wonderfully. They are both professional and knowledgable, but so warm and friendly at the same time. My husband and I are very happy, and more importantly... married! :)

Ralph and Dawn were spectacular. There was not a dry eye in the house and I can't count the number of times I heard "that was the most beautiful ceremony I'd ever been to".
Throughout the process they were kind, patient, and professional! They provided multiple drafts of our ceremony and we could tell we were in great hands from the very beginning (even before then as they had a suggested reading that made us both cry in our initial meeting).
Overall I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a personal, special, and beautiful ceremony work with Flutterby Celebrations!

Working with Dawn and Ralph was a flawless and wonderful experience! From the moment we met them on Zoom, we knew we wanted to work together for our wedding. They made the process of putting our ceremony together so seamless, cheered us on when we said we wanted to try and write our own vows and helped us create a personal, spiritual ceremony that made marrying one another SO special. The thing to know about Ralph and Dawn, is that they have mastered the ability to layer their heartfelt, genuine, kind and loving qualities as people, into the fabric of how YOU envision your ceremony! I could not more highly recommend Flutterby Celebrations!

They were both so kind and tailored the ceremony to us, making it so special for us to share with our friends and family. Ralph was fantastic performing our ceremony and we got so many compliments from our wedding party about what a great job he did with leading the rehearsal. He really added to our day and helped make it perfect for us.

I have known Dawn professionally for years through the events industry. Even before I was engaged, I knew that she was a great officiant from seeing her at other weddings. When we got engaged and contacted Dawn for our initial meeting / discussion, we were immediately impressed with her professionalism, knowledge and her ability to ease our stress around the ceremony. We booked her that same week and are SO glad we did. She was incredibly responsive, and always answered our questions. She wrote a personal and sincere ceremony for us with very little instruction - we are so grateful for her suggestions and wealth of knowledge around the wedding ceremony process. She had so many wonderful tips and ideas for us. We have had countless people tell us that it was the best wedding ceremony that they have been to. We couldn't be happier with our choice. We did pay the (small) additional amount to have her at our rehearsal the night before, and we can't recommend that enough! It was so nice to have a smooth wedding day because of how much she prepared us the night before. We would give her more than 5 stars if possible -- Book Dawn! You will love her! Love, Lindsay + Colby (2/3/24)

We went with a MinneWedding for our marriage adventure, which we highly recommend to anyone looking for something different than your typical wedding planning. Dawn with Flutterby Celebrations was our officiant (set up by Amy at MinneWeddings). Dawn was an absolute joy to work with during the whole process. We first met via Zoom to discuss the ceremony and what we wanted the script to feel like. She crafted the most beautiful and heartfelt celebration of our love. The day of she just had this joyful and calming presence that was so perfect and exactly what we both needed since we didn’t do a first look before the ceremony. We can’t wait to get our ceremony video back to relive the moment and here Dawn’s script, but in the meantime she was gracious enough to send it to us. We loved having her walk us into marriage and would highly highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

We knew we wanted a professional to officiate our wedding, but we couldn’t have anticipated just how incredible Dawn was going to be. She was recommended by our DJ and from our first meeting, it was clear how personable, cheerful, and funny she is. After getting to know us a little bit and through a questionnaire, she worked her magic to create a ceremony outline & script that felt so heartfelt and made just for us. It had us emotional as we walked through it together.
On the day of our wedding, she was a total star. She was so polished and made both of us feel at ease. Our confidence in her abilities helped us to let go and enjoy the moment. Afterward, we had many guests approach us to compliment our ceremony, pointing out how amazing Dawn was and how different and intimate it all felt. “Where did you find your officiant?!” was one of the most common things we heard during our reception. She helped make our ceremony a truly special one and we would recommend her to anyone considering going the officiant route. You will not be disappointed!

We loved our experience with Dawn and Ralph. From our first video call with Dawn we could see so clearly that this is more than just a job to her - she genuinely cares for her couples. During our ceremony preview, she incorporated what she had learned about our relationship and our values into a beautiful script. Her husband Ralph did our wedding rehearsal, and it was as if he was a family friend. He was kind and professional to our guests and made them comfortable throughout the rehearsal. On the day of our wedding, Dawn was so welcoming, encouraging, and thorough to make sure we all knew what to expect. So many of our guests gave compliments on how impressed they were with Dawn as our officiant. We highly, highly recommend Flutterby Celebrations & Ceremonies. We could not be happier with how our ceremony turned out.

Dawn and Ralph are great to work with. They helped us curate a personalized ceremony that was fun and kept our guests engaged. We met with them a few months before the wedding and we were able to go back and forth through email until the ceremony felt perfect. Ralph ran our rehearsal the night before the wedding which really helped us, our wedding party, and our ceremony reader feel confident about what they needed to do during the ceremony. Ralph did an amazing job officiating our wedding. If you are looking for a fun couple to work with for your ceremony, Dawn and Ralph are a great choice.

Dawn made herself more than our officiant for our wedding; she made herself our trusted friend, and an expert partner in a hectic and new process for us.
Dawn learned about us quickly and captured our love, uniquities, and what was most important to us in our ceremony with ease, grace and attention to every detail. She delivered a fabulous, beautiful vibrant ceremony and a calming, reassuring presence in the most important moments of our lives.
One of the only regrets we have from our wedding day is that we won't get to be married by her again.
We love Dawn and would recommend her services to all couples for their wedding. She lives and breathes weddings.

Hiring Dawn & Ralph was the easiest wedding decision we made! They met with us multiple times prior to the day and went over everything we wanted to be included in our ceremony.

He spoke so eloquently and truly cared about making our day special. We can’t thank them enough for everything!

I had heard good things about Dawn and how she puts together events, but the process (and result) of working with Flutterby Celebrations exceeded my expectations in every possible way.
Right from the get go, you can tell that Dawn has the keen ability to dial into how to personalize your experience, and to anticipate the would-be complications that arise. She is a detail oriented, attentive, dynamic thinker with an encyclopedia of knowledge.
If you are unsure if Flutterby Celebrations & Ceremonies is the right business for you, do not doubt, it is! There is a reason that Dawn has received Best Wedding Officiant (!!!) 5 separate years!
Thank you Dawn!

If you are looking for an officiant, LOOK NO FURTHER! Dawn and Ralph are both incredible and truly made our whole day come together. We were really worried about finding an officiant that would make the ceremony turn into our vision of light, fun, and filled with love all at the same time, and they did exactly that. We still receive so many compliments about how great our ceremony was and I’m writing this 10 months after our wedding!! They worked with us throughout the whole process to understand our version, finalize a ceremony script based on that, and executed so beautifully on the day. Thank you Flutterby for being the best!

Dawn was the best to work with. She made the ceremony so special for us. She also did a wonderful job with day of coordination so the ceremony ran smoothly. She is so easy to communicate with, and can accommodate anything you may want.

Dawn was the best. With our input, she provided a wonderful script for our ceremony. She was responsive to our ideas and helped us refined them. She took necessary charge during our rehearsal and pre-ceremony so that we didn’t have to. As our bridal party said, they really “wanted to make sure they listened to Dawn.” While we were obviously nervous for our wedding day, we knew everything would go smoothly with Dawn as our officiant. That peace of mind is priceless and we would definitely recommend her to our friends and family. I have no doubt that her husband and fellow officiant has the same integrity and qualifications.
One comment we received from a guest was “Sometimes, outdoor, non-church weddings don’t really feel like a wedding. This felt like a wedding.” So thanks, Dawn, for making our wedding feel like a wedding. :)

I don’t have enough high praises for Dawn as she helped make our wedding beyond perfect. Her presence, kindness, ability to formulate a one of a kind ceremony, her flexibility all helped make our wedding day turn out better than we imagined. From our first encounter we knew Dawn was perfect for our family. She took the time to get to know us and wrote the most beautiful ceremony. I would recommend her every time because every couple deserves to be cared for and helped the way she helped us.

Dawn and Ralph are amazing to work with. Dawn’s experience helped us to plan the things we would have easily over looked. Any issues that popped up on our day, she handled with tact and professionalism so we didn’t to feel the stress. Ralph’s officiating was heart felt, fun and he captured us so well. Couldn’t recommend Flutterby any more. They are THE BEST!

Wow! From our first phone call to our ceremony, everything was amazing. She nailed it! It was everything we wanted-romantic, intimate yet light hearted fun. She included our kids, which was such a special moment for all of us.
Dawn was so easy to talk to and felt like a friend right away. The communication was so efficient and we knew exactly what do do and what to expect. I would highly, highly recommend her❤️

Dawn was an absolute amazing presence at our ceremony. We were absolute nervous wrecks before the ceremony (as it was our first go around and a DIY wedding) and then Dawn showed up with a very Calming demeanor and took the reins. The wedding was an absolute success and wouldn't have been without her wisdom and guidance. A very personable and caring individual who made our wedding day and everyone who attended a memorable and enjoyable experience! Couldn't have done it without you Dawn. Many thanks 😊.

Dawn is hands down the best officiant there is. There is a reason she has all 5 star reviews. She is knowledgeable, charismatic, confident, reliable, and kind. There was constant communication and we were always confident we were in good hands. She was even amazing with my 5 nieces (all under 5 years old), training them in their flower girl role at the rehearsal. She helped create a ceremony EXACTLY how we envisioned it. I'm so, so grateful she was a part of our wedding day. Hire her, I promise you will not regret it.
