Rev. Dee Richardson with Diva Matters Ministry

appy with the plan. She came to the rehearsal and was super helpful, and we felt nothing but love and support on our wedding day. She was a true professional and when small issues arose she was able to improvise and make everything run smoothly. We couldn't be happier. Thanks Dee!

y is special and exactly what you want it to be. We can’t recommend her enough!

s a perfect fit. We had some non-traditional and unconventional ideas for our wedding, along with trying to host it during COVID, and she delivered exactly what we had asked and then some. Fantastic work, great value, and a pleasure to work with.

us ring in the happily ever after. From the first meeting through the wedding, she was always willing to help and to be sure that everything we needed from her was straightened out. Dee is so lovely and loves all who cross her threshold and brings that with her when she officiates your wedding or whatever ceremony you may be having! My husband and I couldn't have asked for anyone better, as our ceremony and what she wrote and brought with her was absolutely beautiful and heartwarming, that our guests are still asking us about her and telling us how lovely she was! I am so happy that we got to work with Dee!

great effort into creating a ceremony that was perfectly unique to us! It's in the little details that you can really tell how much she cares about the couples she works with, from providing printed out copies of our vows, to making sure her outfit coordinates with our wedding colors. Even her office is full of thank you cards and pictures of the couples she's worked with. We absolutely loved having her as a part of our special day, and had several guests mention how great she was during the ceremony. We cannot recommend her enough for couples who want an officiant who is passionate about what they do!

of getting married. Dee was awesome during the ceremony; she had exactly the right words, tone, and vibe for our ceremony. Truly lovely person and a pleasure to work with.

oughtful and prompt in her communication. She is amazing! We highly recommend Dee!!!

our officiant an easy one. She worked with us to create an awesome non-denominational ceremony that felt true to both of us.

r on the phone with me the first time we spoke. She answered late night and early morning communications willingly, and I always felt we could count on her to do everything to make our day perfect. She spend much time customizing our ceremony and helping us with decisions regarding our vows. The day went off without a hitch. My only regret is that we didn't work on some sound equipment, as several family members stated they couldn't hear our ceremony. This was something I hadn't thought to ask for unfortunately. The ceremony was beautiful, and Dee did a great job. Hopefully my husband and I won't be needing her services personally in the future, but I would 100% recommend her to anyone (and everyone!)

e perfect choice to officiate. She didn't disappoint. Once again she was amazing! The ceremony was perfect, very personal and unique to us. Thank you Rev. Dee for making our special day even more special!!!💕

from meeting with her. When we first met, she asked a lot of questions to find out about our relationship, our interests, and our personalities. Once she had the script for our wedding ceremony ready, we met with her again to go through it and to get our final questions answered. Our ceremony went well, and we had a few of guests makes comments to us after the wedding that they liked the ceremony. I'd definitely recommend Rev Dee for any couples looking for a personalized wedding ceremony.

n of Diva Matters Ministry is the first and final officiant with whom we met. After less than two minutes in her office visiting with her, we both knew Dee is who we wanted for our ceremony. We were married April 8, 2018 and our service was absolutely perfect and flawless. Rev. Dee was by far the best officiant we could have chosen. She included us in the development of our ceremony and gave us some guidance in writing our own vows. She incorporated some readings we had chosen because they had important meaning to Eric and I. We met twice with Dee, once for the introduction and the second time, to finalize the service. Our colors were red, white and black and Dee went so far as to send us pics of two possible outfits she would wear and asked for our input. If we had a question or wanted feedback on a version of our vows, of which there were several, Dee always got back to us almost immediately. Thanks to Dee, our service was personal, deeply meaningful for us, and absolutely perfect in every way.

e absolute best to work with, she was sweet and helpful. The day came of our wedding and i can honestly say it was 100% perfect. It was due to rain but my heart was set on an outside ceremony. It did not rain but it sure was cold. Multiple family members have told me this was hands down the best ceremony they have ever heard. The ceremony was so beautiful and perfect not a single person even realized it was 30* outside. Dee hands down is the best minister i have met with. She does not just perform your ceremony, she lives it, she feels it.. I have never been to a wedding where a minister has so much emotion and love and feeling for what she is saying. It was absolutely beautiful and perfect. I highly recommend Dee to any couple looking for an amazing minister who shows love and passion in what she is doing!

couldn’t have been happier. Dee gave us tremendous peace of mind that the ceremony would be performed seamlessly and would represent us beautifully and authentically. She was very supportive and respectful throughout the process. She was proactive, asking very insightful questions from the outset to get a sense of who we are as a couple. Her writing immediately reflected her understanding of our relationship and us and she weaved in our additions and revisions seamlessly to truly make it our own. We really enjoyed meeting her with my husband’s daughter and my stepdaughter in advance of the ceremony to review the content and to get to know each other better. She welcomed us in her beautiful office and gave us further peace of mind. We were touched that she also cared about what we were wearing and was not only very complimentary, but also chose wardrobe for herself that went beautifully with the wedding party color palette. All these thoughtful touches meant a lot. She is a true professional and we felt in good hands from the beginning until the end. We couldn’t possibly recommend her more highly and will always have fond memories of our special day with her. Julia & Gilles

she was so sweet and helpful. She mixed the perfect amount of seriousness and fun into our ceremony and gave a beautiful prayer to begin. If you are getting married and need an Officiant... choose Dee!! You won't be disappointed, not only is she absolutely amazing at her job, she has one of the most sweet personalities and genuinely cares about the couples she works with and wants your special day to go just perfectly.

know. Even within a couple meetings Dee was able to write the perfect script for our wedding. She helped us with our own vows and printed them off for us to keep after the wedding. We got numerous compliments about how nice of a ceremony it was. Dee is very welcoming to any type of wedding. Ours was a gay wedding and she was so excited for us throughout the whole process. We were so lucky to have Dee as part of our wedding. We highly recommend Rev Dee to anyone looking for a very special, thoughtful, handcrafted ceremony. You would be lucky to have her as part of your special day!!

ed with her. Very prompt in response, very professional. Dee made our wedding day GREAT! We love how she made our ceremony what we wanted, our family and guests have also said good things about her. If you need an Officiant look no further than Diva Matters Ministry. Thank you Dee :-D <3 <3

ns. She felt like family!

d touching for people that she meets once or twice is a testimony to the wonderful person she is. The attention to detail and meeting the needs of the couple in front of her is what really makes her special. We are forever grateful for Rev. Dee being a part of our "best day ever."

Dee always was so kindhearted, patient and my FAVORITE always had a SMILE!!!! I would definitely recommend her!

so smoothly. She really listened to our needs and wants for the perfect ceremony. We can not thank her enough for making our day extra special.

couldn't have been happier with her, she made my surprise wedding perfect. We are so eternally grateful. I recommend Rev. Dee to every single bride I meet, and will continue to!

enjoy the time with us and the guests. She was perfect in every way and we would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed!!!

very responsive and graciously went back and forth as we designed our ceremony. Unfortunately she mispronounced the groom’s last name in the ceremony (wish she would have checked one last time before the day of)!

e wanted included and made it to so we barely had to worry about the ceremony at all! We left Dee's office feeling like we'd known her for years!

. She is so kind and sweet and really knows what she is doing

e will never forget! Thank you Dee!

great the ceremony was! It reflected who me and my spouse were and who we would be together! hhusband

o shape as we pleased, and delivered an amazing ceremony for us. Her strength is her openness and ability to help you craft your wedding into what you want it to be, she provided great suggestions for adding a spiritual touch to our mostly secular wedding. On the day of the wedding she was kind, patient, and helpful with everything and everyone, we could tell she genuinely loves to official weddings and was happy to be a part of our big day. Thank you so much Dee, our day would not have been the same without you!

made our event lovely and meaningful. Our children loved it and are still talking about it almost a month later! I can not recommend Dee enough! Thank you, thank you, thank you Dee for making our day so special!!! Much love, Sarah and Mark D.

it came to keeping our ceremony on track. We even had a secret wedding right before the real one! She accommodated our needs and never once complained. Her professionalism and compassion to a difficult situation meant so much to us. I can't imagine how this day would have happened, if we had anyone other than her. She is worth her weight in gold!!!!

wedding. She was extremely responsive, and flexible. Shockingly fulfilled our requests with no hesitation and adventurously hiked with my new husband and I to our location. Dee is a true gem, a beautiful person inside and out! So passionate and warm. Not to mention, (since we eloped) she fully filled the shoes of the closest, missed, loved one by helping with my dress, shoes, and floral head crown. Step by step she offered the most calming company with encouragement and heartfelt words. And delivered a one of a kind, memorable, and heartfelt ceremony. We HIGHLY recommend Dee ❤

ead of a wine one), and Dee came up with the perfect way to incorporate that into our special day!

ss. People are still commenting on how lovely the ceremony was! She did a fantastic job!!

pick someone other than her. She made the ceremony so personal and fun for us. Everything was perfect. She was worth what we paid and she really did make everything that much more special for us!

was so professional, yet so personal in her interactions with us. Her experience with weddings was very insightful and helpful as she has officiated all sorts of customized weddings. We highly recommend Rev. Dee and received multiple compliments about her ceremony from our family and guests!

ly enjoyed how Dee personalized our ceremony and made us feel comfortable as we opened our hearts to each other. If you want a reverend that cares for your special day, Reverend Dee Richardson is the one we recommend.

ooking for a warm, deeply caring and open minded officiant, than have a consultation with Dee. My husband and I knew right away she was the perfect fit for us.

e does, and she does it with enthusiasm. She provides a long list of recommended resources for other wedding vendors, and is willingly on-call for her clients' questions or suggestions about wedding details. Her response time is just amazing, and another demonstration that she must love what she does. The day of our wedding she helped coordinate timing and welcome guests while we were busy with photos, and I was really pleased with all the compliments that my guests had for her ceremony. She was a wonderful and indispensable part of our event.

hly recommend.

by chance three months before our wedding when we sat next to her at a friend’s wedding reception. After having seen firsthand her energetic and kind nature, we knew she would be a perfect addition to our ceremony. We met with her a month in advance of our wedding to give her ideas for what we were looking for. She was very receptive to our ideas and desires for what our ceremony would look like and helped us pick out passages and inspirational quotes as well as organize logistics. We had a hard time making certain decisions for what would be said, what the procession would look like, and what order everything would happen in. Luckily, Dee had some wonderful ideas and answers to our questions but also let us make the final call on any decision. She was also able to attend our wedding rehearsal and was able to walk us through how everything would look so there were no surprises on the day of. She offered to stay for the reception and interacted very well with guests and people had nothing but great things to say about her. Her exuberance and passion for what she does make her a perfect officiant. She is fun to watch and listen to. She will always remember that it’s your special day and will do whatever she can to make it perfect for you. We hope this review has been helpful and again, we would highly recommend Reverend Dee.

another wedding to get to Dee didn't rush our ceremony at all. It was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier. Dee was a lot of fun and great to work with!

ru to the very end. Her warm, personal touches along with her professional expertise was so refreshing after meeting with other officiants and leaving their offices feeling like it wasn't a match and we were never going to find the perfect officiant. She was so patient with us as we wrote our own vows, patient and supportive of family members needs and requests and so in tuned to what made us as the Bride and Groom happy. We love her. We feel like she is a part of our family! I cannot say enough good things about her . We got so many compliments from guests and other vendors of ours as well which just reassured what we already were feeling. If she is available for your wedding date look no further- book her now. And if she is already booked on the date you have chosen...pick a new date that she IS available. ;) Seriously- she is worth it.
