I couldn't be happier that we chose Denise to officiate our wedding. She was so easy to work with and was always quick to respond to our questions from our very first meeting until the wedding. Our ceremony felt so personalized to us and so many guests commented on how wonderful she was. I even had someone ask for her contact information for someone they know getting married.
I couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you Denise!!

Very pleased hiring Denise to officiant our wedding. She was recommended to me by a friend and I’m happy to recommend her to others needing an officiant. She took some stress off of my plate and helped plan the ceremony and my vows! We aren’t into typical unity traditions, but she had a great suggestion (wine box anniversary tradition) after getting to know us.

Absolutely wonderful! Not a cookie cutter officient! She really wanted to get to know us and incorporate who we are with each other when the world is not watching. She went above and beyond. Everyone at the wedding wanted to know where we found her and who she was! She brought so much passion to the wedding and we are absolutely thankful. We also had a Halloween costume attire wedding and she dressed perfectly for the ceremony.
Thank you so much for making our day special!

Prior to the wedding, we met with Denise face-to-face to get a better understanding of the ceremony. She had a questionnaire for us to fill out so that she can help make the ceremony more personalized. She was very communicative, quick to respond, and overall a pleasure to work with.
During the ceremony, she did an excellent job coordinating with the vendors so that the ceremony went smoothly. She did such a superior job in her delivery that some of our guests were raving about her afterwards. We highly recommend booking Denise to anybody who's looking for an officiant, you will be very much satisfied.

Denise was the BEST officiant and BEST part of our wedding. All of our guests said the ceremony was the best part of the wedding and that Denise was the best officiant they have ever heard. She made our ceremony so personalized, and every word had meaning. It was the perfect length. She was truly born to do this job. We will remember her and our ceremony forever.

Denise wrote the most beautiful speech for our ceremony. We were so touched by it and everyone commented on how beautiful it was. She made our day so special for us.
Denise is professional and wonderful to work with. She is responsive, friendly, and really tailors your ceremony to your needs. She has the entire speech memorized which makes it more memorable since she doesn’t read it off of a piece of paper. She was so wonderful to work with and I can’t recommend her enough. I highly recommend booking Denise as your officiant!!

Wow. Where do I even begin?! Denise is THE BEST! Communication was always easy and fast. She knows all the ins and outs of the legal marriage process. Denise is a great speaker. We filled out an easy questionnaire and from that she created a beautiful ceremony. She ran the show for our rehearsal and knows how to command the room. We are so grateful we hired Denise!

Denise was wonderful! One of the first things you'll notice about her is how clearly and eloquently she speaks. Denise is very organized, professional, and super easy to reach throughout the planning process. We didn't have a day-of coordinator, but we really didn't need one at the ceremony with Denise there. She ran the rehearsal and kept everything running right on time on the day of the wedding. We were super happy with how our ceremony turned out as well - it wasn't too long or too short, and it felt personal. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Denise! :)

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Denise as the officiant for our wedding; she truly made our day absolutely perfect! From the first moment we met her, we knew she was the right choice, and she exceeded our expectations in every way possible.
Denise has a warm and welcoming personality that instantly puts you at ease. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it was evident during the ceremony that she had invested genuine effort in understanding our relationship. Many of our guests commented on how the ceremony felt so personalized and intimate, as if she had known us for years. Her ability to capture the essence of our love story and convey it to our guests was truly remarkable.
The ceremony itself was nothing short of beautiful. Denise has a natural eloquence and grace that added a special touch to the proceedings. Her words were thoughtful, heartfelt, and perfectly crafted for the occasion. She struck a perfect balance between sincerity and humor, making the ceremony enjoyable for everyone present.
What impressed us most about Denise was her attention to detail. She worked closely with us to ensure that the ceremony reflected our personalities and values. Her guidance and suggestions were invaluable, and she was open to incorporating our ideas to make the ceremony uniquely ours. It was evident that she cared deeply about making our day memorable and meaningful.
Not only did Denise perform her role flawlessly during the ceremony, but she also went above and beyond to coordinate with other vendors and ensure everything ran smoothly. Her professionalism and organizational skills were truly commendable.
In conclusion, choosing Denise was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. She played a pivotal role in creating a ceremony that was not only seamless but also deeply meaningful. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the beautiful memories she helped us create, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking a wedding officiant who is not only skilled but genuinely cares about making your day as perfect as possible. Thank you for making our wedding day a dream come true!

If I could give Denise a million stars I would! She was very attentive, communicative and made sure our ceremony was beautiful. She told our story so beautifully.

Having a wedding in Chicago with the officiant and coordinator in Detroit seems like a challenge but not with Denise. Throughout the wedding and reception planning process, Denise was right by our side. Denise effortlessly helped to arrange all of the details need to make the wedding day and reception a huge success. always available with solid advice and planning skills, Denise was the ultimate professional, friendly, and consummate partner to help us. Can't say enough about how pleased we were and are to have Denise officiate the ceremony and guide us throughout the process. I wish we could give her 10 stars!

Denise is nothing short of perfect and made our ceremony absolutely amazing!! She brought our love story to life and everyone at our wedding kept talking about how beautiful our ceremony was, even weeks after! My husband even said Denise told him to bend his knees and relax and handed him a mint before the ceremony was about to start because he was so nervous and excited and looked like he was about to pass out and that’s just what he needed to keep standing lol. Every time we talked and met with Denise, it felt like we had known her as family already, we felt so comfortable and she took care of everything we needed with ease. You will not be disappointed in any way if you have Denise with you on your wedding day!!

Denise was great to work with. She was always so calm and cheerful. Even when the wind was gusting off the lake at our outdoor ceremony in October, she was so positive. Denise was so helpful during the planning process too. She provided us with many ideas for ceremony structure, readings, vows, and unity ceremonies, but really listened to what we were looking for. Even though we live out of the state, she made a point of meeting with us over the holidays to get to know us a little more. She is very experienced and crafted a wonderful ceremony for us. I would highly recommend working with Denise – we never had to worry about our ceremony once we contracted with her.

Denise exceeded ALL expectations as our wedding officiant! She was extremely easy to work with and is truly a professional at what she does. We only knew Denise for a short time before our wedding, but she created a beautiful ceremony for us that made it feel as if we had known her for years. Many wedding guests came up to us after asking if she was a family member or long time friend. She also helped lead the rehearsal, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and no small detailed was missed. I highly recommend Denise for any wedding ceremony as she’ll take care of you and make sure you have the perfect day!

Denise married us this past Friday. We received so many complements. The ceremony was personal, short and sweet, just how we wanted it. We found Denise as a guest at a wedding last year, and have already been recommending her to our friends getting married in 2023! Leading up to the wedding, everything was stress free and communication was quick. Couldn't speak more highly of Denise!

The first phone call, emails, etc I knew we were in good hands! She made the process so smooth, and ensured our day was perfect! She coordinated with all my vendors so everyone knew exactly what was taking place!

I 100% recommend Denise! She was fantastic to work with. Our venue recommended her and we're so glad they did. She made the ceremony so personal and meaningful for us. We had multiple guests compliment her to us and tell us it sounded like she'd known us forever. She also gave us a great idea to do a wine box ceremony, which we hadn't heard of before and turned out to be really special. She takes care of the details for you and walks you through everything so there's no stress for the couple. Denise will make your wedding so much easier!

Denise was absolutely incredible! My husband and I were actually supposed to get married back in 2020, so we had met Denise for the first time then. She was very sweet, attentive, and thorough. We sadly needed to postpone our wedding twice, but each time, Denise was very kind, patient, and quick about it to ensure we could coordinate a date that worked for her, our venue, and our other vendors. She was informative and efficient during the rehearsal, helping to make sure we all knew what was going on, since obviously we're pretty new to getting married! And on the day of she did an absolutely fabulous job. All our friends and family complimented how she ran the ceremony. We honestly can't recommend her enough. Denise is amazing.

We could not have had a better officiant for our wedding day! Our wedding planner recommended Denise to us after attending a few of her ceremonies with prior clients. My husband and I met with Denise over Zoom, and after a one-hour Zoom call we knew that we needed to hire her! Denise had us each fill out some questionnaires to honor those that could not be with us and get to know us better – these questionnaires were used to personalize our ceremony, which we loved! Denise also attended our rehearsal dinner and helped line everyone up to make sure that the processional and recessional were smooth on our wedding day. Our wedding ceremony was so beautiful, and it would not have been as special and unique to us without Denise officiating.

I was so nervous about picking an officiant, especially since Evan and I weren't quite sure how to make the ceremony match us. We met with Denise and immediately knew we made the right decision. She is so sweet and knew exactly the things to set our minds at ease. We wanted to do things a little bit differently, and Denise was super excited to accommodate that. She provided a questionnaire that made our ceremony truly personalized. We did a PB&J making ceremony, which was just the right amount of happy and silly as we hoped for. She spoke with authority and commanded everyones attention in the room. Everyone wanted to know how we found her and said we were so lucky. Her prices were reasonable (especially for a winter wedding) and I wouldn't have picked anyone else to officiate our wedding.

Denise was absolutely exceptional. She started by helping us get our ducks in a row successfully ahead of our out of state wedding and from the rehearsal to the ceremony itself was such an incredible support throughout the entire experience.
Our ceremony was absolutely perfect and personalized beyond belief. Everything about our ceremony was more than we could have dreamt, and so much of that is due to Denise's personal touches.
We would HIGHLY recommend Denise to anyone looking for someone to officiate their wedding. We've only been married once, but feel pretty safe saying she is the BEST. :)

I cannot speak highly enough about Denise, she made our wedding ceremony touching and so personal! I planned my wedding virtually from Florida and was worried that my ceremony would show it but Denise met with us once two days before the wedding when I got into town, had us fill out a simple questionnaire, and did a morning of rehearsal at our venue - and I couldn't have designed/written a better wedding ceremony! She is definitely an expert! I had a last minute change in bridal party numbers due to COVID that didn't phase her, and she coordinated with other vendors to make sure cues were perfect with the string quartet etc. She also completely took care of mailing our marriage certificate for us, what a professional! I highly recommend Denise!
