Debbie was amazing! The workbook made the process so easy for us and she made sure to answer all of our questions and concerns. Even after our wedding when there was an issue with our marriage license (a mistake when issued) she was quick to ge...
t back to me with a possible solution and then within 2 days a final answer after calling the county on our behalf. Choosing La Donna made the whole process as stress free as getting married can be.
I worked with Debbie. The worksheet was great to plan the ceremony script. We wanted to do a memorial during our ceremony and the officiant did not feel comfortable pronouncing our relatives names, so we arranged for a relative to come to say t...
hem instead. The officiant called me to confirm how to pronounce the groom's name in advance and then practiced his name again with his relative once she arrived. During the ceremony, she completely butchered his name. It was embarrassing and I felt terrible for him. She also didn't even say it the same way throughout the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, when announcing the couple and she had to say his full name, she tried a few times and then gave up - completely took away from the excitement of the moment. It was the running joke afterwards of all of the different names that she called him during the ceremony. For reference, his name is not a traditional American name but is also only 6 letters long. She apologized afterwards and said how she is bad at names. This was the only vendor we were disappointed in.

Dr. Jennifer,
I am very sorry that you were disappointed with the ceremony , to have caused your husband and you embarrassment and to suffer the jokes afterward from my service. I promise you that it was not done intentionally . When we spoke...
, I acknowledged that the ethic names are very difficult to pronounce and that I was not comfortable with them. As you wrote, I also spoke with your husband 's Uncle before the ceremony and mentioned that I was struggling to pronounce your new last name. He reassured me that as long as I tried my best, everyone would understand. I wish you or he might have corrected me when I first "Butchered" his name so I could have corrected it. In retrospect, maybe I should have insisted on a rehearsal to work on the names. I'll be refunding the full amount charged for your service.
My husband & I could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony. Working with Donna was a pleasure. She is extremely professional, kind, and delivered a very touching ceremony.
We chose to have a small, intimate ceremony due to Covid. Regardl...
ess of the size of your wedding, big or small, LaDonna Weddings will work with you to create your dream ceremony.
So grateful we chose LaDonna Weddings to make our wedding day a beautiful memory we will always cherish.

Thank you for such a wonderful review! We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together! Take care of each other.
Any questions?
Donna was amazing with our wedding being the officiant. She spent so much time with us helping us ensure we knew what to do and what queues to look for. She came to our rehearsal and kept everyone moving (even though our bridal party was being ...
crazy that night). She led us through the full process- and even though you may think you know what to do, you will totally forget the day of. I did, and she gave great queues to help us stay on track/not mess up, and because of her, our photographer got great photos! I highly recommend Donna with wedding officiating and will continue to recommend her to our friends and family!

Dear Donna,
Mike and I would like to thank you for officiating our Wedding Ceremony. From the onset, meeting you and planning this memorable occasion has been a wonderful experience.
Your proficiency enabled us to achieve the type of Wedding ...
Ceremony that was most important to us, the joining of our children, grandchildren and guest as one. The wedding booklet enabled us the tools to put words and actions in motion. Your expertise put our sentiments, emotions and feelings into the said word.
We received many wonderful positive comments about our Wedding Ceremony. Our guests enjoyed the lightness, humor and how meaninful the words united us.
Mike and I, once again, thank you for making our Wedding Ceremony a truly unique blessed event. We greatly appreciate your time and dedication in making this special day for us a joyful celebration.
Respectfully,
Kathie and Mike M.

We will be (and already have started) recommending Danielle to everyone we know.

Response from the Vendor on 10/06/2016
Thank you very much for your post and review on the knot! Congratulations!!
We used La Donna services for our wedding held in June, 2016. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend them, and would encourage engaged couples to look elsewhere.
Our officiant, Danielle, was very personable and exceeded our expectations during the...
day of the wedding. However, she provided a very bare bones rehearsal, walking us through the ceremony only in vague generalities.
Our biggest issue with La Donna stems from their communication, or more accurately, lack thereof. Three days before the wedding, I had a complete meltdown, I was in tears, sobbing -- all thanks to La Donna. In Michigan, the couple has to head down to the courthouse at least three days before the wedding (but no more than 30 days before the wedding) to secure a marriage license. La Donna did not inform us of this until, three days before the wedding, we received an email telling us to bring our license to the rehearsal. In a panic, we called Donna herself and rather than accept responsibility and offer an apology, we were told in a very rude and inconsiderate manner that “most couples know that.” We are a young couple and it was our first wedding for both of us. We were not aware, and they made no effort to inform us of this crucial detail.
Overall, La Donna was unprofessional. Once, they sent an important email to themselves, and didn’t correct their mistake for nearly a week. In total, I think we spent fewer than 4 hours with them in any capacity. It felt like a total cash grab on their part, and a complete waste of money. Definitely the worst $400 I’ve ever spent.
Response from the Vendor on 09/19/2016
Hello Stephanie and Sam,
We are very happy to read in your review that Rev. Danielle was personable and exceeded your expectations on the day of your wedding. We also read the other details and regret you had a few difficulties.
The ceremony...
-planning workbook we provided you in February, which you utilized in every step of creating your personalized ceremony, did include a whole page outlining how and when to obtain your marriage license. We are sorry that you somehow missed this important information, as you are the first to bring this to our attention. Perhaps we will communicate the processes at an additional time during the planning process.
We agree that wedding rehearsals are crucial to having a well-orchestrated wedding and offer the greatest opportunity to ensure beautiful wedding photos. We received your gorgeous ceremony photos and they did not reflect that anyone was unprepared, so we are very happy about that. We hope every couple is comfortable with asking questions and expressing a need for a review of uncertain elements of the ceremony during their rehearsal.
.
When your ceremony worksheet was received in a format that we could not open, we did email it to our home office to be remedied. We are sorry for the inconvenience of our human error in asking you to email the file to us again.
We are extremely unhappy that you don't feel you received our high standard of service that has earned us our 5-star rating on the knot for many years. We would liked to have had the opportunity to have spoken with you first about anything that made you unhappy, before reading the bad reviews copy and pasted on the internet. We are sorry that we weren't made aware during the last 3 months since your wedding, that you were unsatisfied.
Thank you for sharing that your wedding day exceeded your expectations, because we only want you both to have a lifetime of happy memories of your special day!
LaDonna weddings did a great job officiating our wedding. Danielle was easy to work with and the guests complimented her professional and well spoken demeanor. The process was very easy and not time consuming. Thank you for doing a great job ...

lpful tips. Gave information on what to do after the wedding (i.e. name change) which is extremely helpful with printed materials so I couldn't forget after honeymoon. I loved the options to create a Cermony that expressed what our relationship valued and was able to truly reflect us. Very well spoken, seemed to memorize our ceremony and spoke directly to us or the guest, could tell she was fully prepared for any possible circumstances ( Donna had notes in binder which were in protecting sheets so if it were to rain the notes would not get wet and ruined). Was able to run our rehearsal without difficulty even if there were dificult family members. Very happy with everything and can't thank them enough for all the hard work.

All of my guest commented on how they enjoyed the ceremony and the officiant. I really liked being able to customize my ceremony! Donna was great to work with!
Exceeded expectations beyond our imagination. It was truly perfect!
Donna was very pleasant and made the script very easy to follow. I was worried not meeting face to face to begin with, but in the end it was nice having everything delivered through e-mail and not having to set-up another appointment to meet.
Donna guided us through the whole ceremony and was very knowledgeable.
Donna was very professional and with excellent follow through. She is very knowledgeable and courteous. Because of her guidance, our ceremony went very smoothly and enjoyed by everyone!

Rev. Danielle Roberts was wonderful. As we talked with each of our guests multiple comments were made on how much they enjoyed our ceremony and how great of a job she did!
We used Pastor Mark Hancock through La Donna and he was perfect. He made everyone comfortable and made the ceremony feel personal and just our style. We couldn't have been happier with him!

A few weeks after that we started getting emails from someone else in Donna's office saying that our officiant "Tab" could not attend the rehearsal. We had two choices - change the date or have another officiant show up. ??? We had no idea who Tab was. We had met with and hired Donna. After replying to the email with this info, I heard nothing. That's never a good sign. I ended up calling and speaking with Donna. Turns out she was not going to be in town the weekend of our wedding and HAD FORGOTTEN TO TELL US. What? That's ridiculous! My husband had called and spoken with her a few weeks before to schedule the rehearsal dinner. She assured us that we would love Tab and everything would be okay. I was not happy with this at all and Donna said "If you're getting so upset about this I'd hate to see how you handle the important things in your life!" What??? Our wedding is the most important thing in my life! I told her her services were no longer needed. She did end up refunding our deposit but there's no way to make up for the stress she caused 4 mos before the wedding. ...
My husband and I were so happy with our officiant, Donna, from La Donna Wedding Officiants & Ceremony Services. From our first meeting with Donna, we felt more at ease about the ceremony (which was a big stress for the both of us!) and how that...
big event would play out! Donna was able to provide us with a booklet that detailed the wedding ceremony and necessary components for the wedding to be valid (we did not want a religious ceremony, so that information was extremely helpful!), with many examples of each of the pieces of a ceremony. She also provided us with many vendors in the area to speak to about gown preservation, bakers, florists, and bridal party gifts. Donna was an excellent speaker and she really engaged our crowd and brought our ceremony to life. Listening to her say the words that we created together brought tears to my eyes, and she really helped us make our ceremony dreams a reality. I cannot recommend La Donna enough, I only wish I had thought to speak with Donna earlier for some ceremony coordinating! You will not regret calling La Donna Wedding Services, they are an excellent resource for everything needed to make your wedding day a dream come true!

We aim to assist everyone in designing their dream wedding! We are very happy to hear that we accomplished all this for you. Thank you for thinking of us and your compliments.
There are no words to describe what an amazing job Donna did with our ceremony! From the beginning her customer service was superb and stayed true through it all! Her selections to create an intimate, special ceremony are incredible and her off...
iciating is great! She helped very much when our ceremony was interrupted by an unwelcome guest and kept me (the bride) calm and continued the ceremony without a hitch! Giving her name to everyone I talk to! Keep up the great work!!!

You, as a bridal couple, are the most important focus, so that you can have the wedding you always wanted! Thank you for sharing your kind words!
Loved Donna! she has so many ideas and she also has all of the little items that need. I placed one big order with her and got all of my items sent to me. Her verbage is great to choose from and she made both of us feel at ease once up there.
very polite and prompt!
From the beginning, I was impressed with La Donna Weddings! I met Donna at a bridal show and, right off the bat, she assisted me with planning my wedding. I called her up a bit later and sat down with her to discuss what she could do for us. It...
turns out, La Donna Weddings can handle the majority of the wedding requirements! We purchased not only our invitations through them (which we were completely confused about when looking online, so she sat and walked us through it for quite a while), but our jewelry, wedding party gifts, seating chart scroll, napkins, Unity Candles, Garter, Cake cutting set, and her officiant services! She kept us informed and did everything in a prompt, professional manner but always with a smile. She was the best and most helpful vendor I worked with in the whole process. Probably the only one my husband really liked working with. Reachable by phone or email and she has flexible hours of business. I'm going to eventually get my dress cleaned and preserved (I waited a while and I'm pretty lazy, I'll admit...) through La Donna because I know, without a shadow of a doubt, they will take care of it and I won't have to worry about a thing. If you'd like someone to be there for you in case you have any questions, La Donna is the place to go. They know weddings and they will make your day come together beautifully.
After speaking with many other officiants we just couldnt find one we felt comfortable with. That was until we met Donna from Ladonna wedding officiants & wedding services. She was very professional and organized! She helped us so much thro...
ugh the process and made everything very easy. With her helpful books and varities of wedding extras it was a total breeze. If you are looking for someone to help you from start to finish and not gouged you in price this is the place! I hope everyone has a wonderful experience as we did... :) P.S we even ordered our wedding invitations through them, they turned out GREAT!
