About this vendor
With over 22 years of professional ministerial experience, Daniel is ready for any scenario. He holds dual standing as an Alliance of Baptists pastor and a minister of the American Protestant Union. Unlike a town justice of the peace or an officiant with an online ordination, Daniel attended seminary, attaining a master’s degree from the University of Chicago Divinity School, a master’s degree from Hartford Seminary, and received the Doctor of Ministry degree in Pastoral Care and Counseling from Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley.
None of Daniel's ceremonies are identical. Each ceremony is painstakingly crafted according to the couple's stated interests, preferences, and backstory. The creative process is collaborative, and the services consistently bring the laughter and tears.

Daniel went absolutely above and beyond for our wedding. I could not have asked for a better Officiant. He was extremely respectful of our wishes and did amazing in getting to know...
us before marrying us. Very easy to talk to and took so much weight off our shoulders on our big day! Thank you, Daniel!
Dan accommodated our schedules within weeks of my request, and was so flexible with our timing. But best of all our ceremony was exactly as we wanted it: intimate, personalized and...
very special. I would recommend Dan's services to anyone.
Reverend Schlorf was the best addition to our wedding. He made our union feel special, unique to our liking, and just overall, ours. He made us realize what kind of wedding ceremon...
y we wanted when we hadn't a clue ourselves, with enthusiasm and patience. He worked with us over time leading up to our big day, and when the wedding came, it was a beautiful ceremony. Both of us were touched to hear what he learned from us individually, as he added them to the ceremony. It's was so beautiful!
Dan was really great to work with. He has a little bit of a different process than others but what he brings together is amazing! He makes it funny, sweet, memorable and absolutel...
y perfect. So happy we found him! We would recommend to everyone and anyone.
Daniel was so helpful and kind through the processes of helping us to plan our wedding ceremony. We wanted to combine elements from my fiancé’s culture (Gujarati ) as well as mine...
(American) and Daniel was the perfect person to help us do so. He put so much time and effort into understanding the Gujarati culture and made sure everyone at the ceremony felt comfortable and understood the significance behind all the different parts of the ceremony. He was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him, especially to couples who have a different approach to the the ceremony or our trying to combine cultures/religions, etc as he does such a great job respecting different practices and making everyone comfortable and happy!
Daniel was the highlight of our wedding! If you want a cookie cutter ceremony, Daniel is not for you. I was very picky about who I wanted for our ceremony, and I'm so glad we found...
him! He is incredibly thoughtful and really put in the time and effort to understand what we wanted and what is important to us. More than that, he is so game! We wanted to include Hindu elements into the ceremony (the groom is Hindu), and he was so eager to learn more about the context of those elements and did a great job incorporating them. The end result was absolutely beautiful-- the ceremony was customized to us and very meaningful (my dad definitely shed a few tears). We could not have asked for a more beautifully written, thoughtful ceremony (with just the right amount of levity!), which is exactly what we wanted. I also liked that he is a huge feminist! I didn't even have to ask him to omit some of the more old school and problematic language that makes its way into vows. We were immediately on the same page. On a more shallow note-- he has a beautiful speaking voice! One of my guests told me "your officiant was terrific-- I would listen to him read me the phonebook." Everyone I spoke to agreed he could have a second career reading books on tape.
My partner and I were seeking an LGBT-friendly officiant for our elopement-style ceremony and could not have been happier with Reverend Doctor Daniel’s services! He personalized th...
e ceremony to fit what we were looking for in terms of tone as well as content. His remarks and tone were very engaging and met our unique need of a ceremony without guests which would be recorded and viewed by family and friends at a later time. He also injected some humor where appropriate which was wonderful. All of that being said, he stood out because he truly cared about making our ceremony special and personalized. We would absolutely recommend Reverend Doctor Daniel for your officiant needs!
Daniel did an amazing job! He was very excited to work with us on our unique wedding concept. My wife and I met playing Dungeons and Dragons. This was an important detail in our l...
ives and we wanted it to be important in our ceremony. He was very excited when he heard about this and relished the opportunity to do something new and special. The ceremony he designed incorporated elements and verbiage from the games we so love (including magical spells!). Daniel even provided equipment so we could stream our ceremony to our family and friends who could not attend due to the pandemic. He went above and beyond making our ceremony heartfelt and fun. We absolutely recommend him.
I'm pretty attached to the pastor of my church, but we could not get married in the church due to Chad being Lutheran when I'm Catholic. Pastor Dan gave us the very traditional wed...
ding we were looking for, along with a few creative twists, and since he knew our pastors, got them both involved in a ritual blessing together at the reception, which he orchestrated. Pastor Dan definitely understood our goals and had no ego involved with sharing the ritual blessing with our clergy. Everyone got what they wanted and then some. It was my dream for all this to happen, but I just didn't know how it would work. We definitely recommend Pastor Dan for anyone who has a dream that they don't think can be reached. He'll make it happen in some way.
We didn't really know where to go for our interfaith, inter-racial, same-sex wedding ceremony, but we just kept browsing and found Pastor Dan. It was totally of God. Turns out he i...
s not a fake minister but an actual pastor! That was important to me growing up strict Apostolic. And for Kirk, our wedding pastor had to be respectful of his Jewish upbringing. Dan ended up saying part of the service in Hebrew for Kirk's family! We were going to go the cheap route and spend a ton on reception, but we soon realized that the ceremony is the most important part. By removing just one guest (just an acquaintance) from our reception, we were able to budget for the best wedding pastor in the Tri-state area. Dan is amazing! We're so glad we found him!
Daniel has such a calm mannerism, wisdom beyond his years, and he is strikingly handsome. Harold and I are both widowed, and he was so respectful of our previous marriages and brou...
ght them into the ceremony as a way of honoring our love continuing. Words cannot describe how breathtakingly gorgeous each word was that he selected. His speaking voice is easy to listen to, also! He attended to every detail that was important to us, so I will be recommending him to all the gals I know who need to get married. Thank you, Daniel!
Rev. Daniel was the best. From our first meeting with him, we knew he was the right fit. He really took the time to get to know us and our religious beliefs and spirituality. He li...
stened to what our thoughts were, but also gave us suggestions and tips. He created a unique ceremony that featured who we are as a couple. Our family and friends loved the ceremony and thought it really reflected who we are. He is dedicated, timely with communication, and most importantly he loves what he does. It was an honor to have him officiate our wedding. Would not hesitate to recommend him.
Reverend Daniel Schlorff was recommended to us by a family member and I am so glad he was! We had a very unconventional wedding and neither I nor my husband were interested in the ...
traditional kind of ceremony. Daniel was completely understanding of that and we pretty much left the ceremony up to him and let him come up with a speech and ceremony that he thought would be good for us and it was absolutely perfect! I wouldn't have changed a single thing about it.
On top of that, he is a super nice guy and I highly recommend using him as an officiant for any wedding. Can't recommend him enough ^_^
