She is absolutely one of the most genuine and kind people we have ever met. She is so well spoken and able to speak calmness into any chaos. She is patient and makes sure she captures the room. I don't think our day would have been the same without her presence. Thank you so much for making our day special.
Rev Diane is incredible. I'm so glad that we found her. She took the time to get to know us, was upfront and fair with her pricing. She was professional, wellspoken, warm and engaging for our ceremony. She is such a true professional that she was able to help my now-husband incorporate my son, his step-now, into the ceremony. I can't imagine anyone else marrying us. she made our day so special!
As a wedding photographer, I've been a part of hundreds of ceremonies over more than a decade and Diane is the first officiant I've felt compelled to write a review for. Every ceremony she's performed has been so unique and personal to each couple— you can tell a lot of thought and intention went into everything. I can tell she has a really great connection with the couples she works with too!
Rev Diane was the most amazing person to work with. When we first met her, she had me and my husband walk down memory lane. She made me remember all of the reasons why i love my husband. She listened to our story and then was able to provided scriptures, both biblical and not, that were closely related to us. There was one specifically that compared falling in love with owning a dog. It was clever and smart and was the perfect piece to say in our ceremony, especially since we love dogs. She was just so good at making our ceremony feel like us. She made us feel so comfortable. We could not have asked for a better person to officiate our ceremony!
We were so lucky to have Rev. Diane as our wedding officiant! Her spirit, poise and professionalism made an instant impression. She delivered a beautiful ceremony with a special, personal connection. Many family and friends commented on how much they enjoyed her service. We were both touched by her words and they will be in our hearts forever. Thank you Rev. Diane! Ali and Michael Breda
Rev. Diane performed a beautiful wedding for us. She actively made us part of her ceremony planning in terms of what we wanted included. She is very professional and organized and personable. Communication was open especially with us being from out of town. She is a seasoned veteran for performing weddings. Her words during the ceremony were moving and perfect. After the wedding, I had several people comment on how great she was and how her words helped make the day.
Reverend Diane was such a bright spot on our wedding weekend! She truly spent time getting to know us and our families. She crafted a beautiful and personalized wedding ceremony perfect for us. We received so many compliments on her words! Diane is caring and thoughtful, and she is very flexible to each couple's wishes. We highly recommend her to make anyone's day special!
We got married during the Covid pandemic. We had to cancel our 150 person wedding, and then decided on a whim to do a 6 person backyard wedding instead. Within a month of that decision, we were saying our I-do's in our backyard. Diane helped make a stressful time magical, and hilariously fun! My friends loved her so much, that they pretty much insisted that she stay and eat with us. She did, and thank goodness she did, because it would not have been the same without her. She was like family, during a time when the majority of our family was unable to attend. She helped our wedding feel safe, and unique, and easy. We felt so special in her presence. She holds a place in our hearts forever :)
Reverend Walker was amazing! From my first conversation with her, I knew she'd be the perfect officiant for our wedding. She made sure to get to know us as individuals and as a couple and integrated that into our wedding ceremony. Our ceremony was short and to the point (which is exactly what we wanted), but Rev. Walker also integrated important concepts about love and marriage throughout, which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend her to anyone!
Diane helped us put together a wonderful and personal ceremony by suggesting vow language and readings and putting together a ceremony that matched our style and personalities. The result was truly lovely and exceeded our expectations. Our guests were teary-eyed and commented how beautiful the ceremony was. It will always be a special memory for us. Thanks Reverend Diane!
Even after our first meeting I can't imagine we would have chosen anyone else to officiate us other than Reverend Diane. As soon as our meeting was over we looked at each other and knew she was who we wanted immediately! Along with her sweet, caring, and compassionate personality, she brought professionalism while keeping it fun - we never once felt unsure if we had made the right choice and she always made us feel comfortable. We loved every second we spent working with her on how we envisioned the ceremony and everything went beautifully as expected. Thank you so much for being such a big part of our day and we wish you nothing but the best!
Everyone we talked to after our wedding told us this was one of the best ceremonies they had ever been to. Diane made it personal to us as a couple and she executed it beautifully. She spoke about us and love and marriage so eloquently. We are so please with our decision to have her as our officiant. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant.
Reverend Walker has such a gift! From our first phone call with her we knew she as the perfect fit for our wedding. She delivered a ceremony that was a beautiful reflection of our relationship. Our closest friends and family, knowing us so well, could not believe how absolutely spot-on perfect the ceremony was.
She was always available to answer any questions and had great resources for us when trying to decide specific aspects of our ceremony. She was also extremely accommodating when it came to scheduling our initial meeting- I had to reschedule last minute due to work and she was so flexible.
Seriously cannot recommend her highly enough. She helped make our day absolutely wonderful and one we will always cherish!
Rev. Diane was amazing to work with and we are extremely grateful that we chose her for our wedding ceremony.
We couldn't have picked a better officiant for our secular, outdoor ceremony. Rev. Diane was easy to work with, personable, and knowledgeable about all things wedding planning! She took the time to get to know us as a couple and our relationship, and personalized the ceremony to us. She was also very flexible as our plans changed due to the pandemic. We were so lucky to find her. You will not be disappointed if you choose her!
Reverend Diane worked so hard to make our wedding ceremony everything we wanted it to be. She spent a lot of time getting to know us so she could truly understand who we are and could create a beautiful ceremony representative of our personalities and our love for one another. She also had some wonderful suggestions for additional content she felt was appropriate for our style of ceremony. Given that we were planning our wedding from halfway across the country, we really appreciated her efforts to stay engaged with us as we neared our wedding date. Reverend Diane is a wonderfully compassionate officiant who will go above and beyond to craft an experience you will treasure forever. We are so grateful to have had her expertise, guidance and love!
Diane was wonderful from the start. She was quick to respond to emails and we had such a wonderful first meeting. She was so easy to talk to and made my husband and I feel comfortable opening up! Very professional but down to Earth. We had a rehearsal the night before and she made sure everyone knew what to do and where to be. Diane even showed up early to the ceremony to make sure everything was set up and ready to go. She went above and beyond answering my multiple emails and made sure I was confrontable with final decisions. Not only was she amazing helping in wedding preparation but the ceremony was absolutely perfect in every way. All the guests spoke about how she was the best minister they have ever heard at a wedding. I highly recommend Diane and thank her so much for making my big day a dream come true!!
So so very sweet! Diane took the time to get to know us personally, and come grab coffee with us. She was so friendly and easy to talk to. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. My family was raving about how great her service was :)
Diane was amazing from the beginning. She was helpful in planning the ceremony, personalizing it and making it our own. She is down to earth and easy to relate/talk to. Our ceremony was beautiful
Diane was a wonderful officiant! She made it very personalized and was a ball to hang out with in the planning stages, and at our rehearsal dinner! I would recommend her to anyone!
Diane officiated our parents wedding, and I have to say she was fantastic. She knew how important it was to include us in the festivities and she did a wonderful job at making that happen, even reassuring other wedding party members that were less than excited about the idea! It turned out beautiful, and we were so happy Diane made sure we were an important part of the big day! Woof!
I can't imagine a better choice for an officiant. Diane was amazing, from our first communications, to our first meeting, to the big day, she was patient, caring , and so helpful. I was so overwhelmed with wedding planning, and Diane made things so easy, and even fun! She has truly became a friend through working with her. She goes above and beyond for her clients, and brought a very special touch to our wedding. I seriously could not recommend her enough!!
We highly recommend Diane! We had to find a minister long distance since we were living in Minneapolis and getting married in Louisville. Through emails and phone calls, we were able to get to know Diane and craft a beautiful, personal ceremony that our guests loved! She provided examples, frameworks, and advice that take away the stress of pulling together everything from scratch, which is what we wanted. She was also flexible so we could add a couple of extras. She was reliable, organized and engaged. Our day was so special with her as our officiant!
Diane truly made our wedding ceremony intimate. She went above and beyond our hopes and her intuitive nature is a real asset when it comes to ensuring unforgettable moments are made.
Diane was absolutely wonderful! We couldn't imagine having anyone else officiate our wedding. She felt like part of our family and made our ceremony so personable. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!!
Diane was recommended by our wedding coordinator and I'm so glad we chose her to be our minister. We met with her and she sat down with us for an hour and a half to throughly get to know us individually as well as our relationship. It was a lot of fun, and when our wedding day finally came she completely tailored our ceremony to fit us personally and perfectly. By getting to know us she included everything we said about what we loved about each other, details on how we met, and how we persevered through a long-distance relationship. She really brought together our intimate wedding seamlessly, and at one point when my husband and I were shaking and about to cry she eased our nervousness by telling us to breathe. Our ceremony wouldn't have been the same without her by our side, and people really gravitated to her because so many people came up to my husband and I and told us how cool Diane was and how beautiful and personal our ceremony was. Diane is the best choice you could make in hiring a wedding officiant, and my husband and I highly recommend her!
I had known Diane for 4 years before my husband and I decided to get married, and she was the first and only person I thought of to marry us. She is genuine, trustworthy and accommodating in every way.
We had a destination wedding in Sedona, AZ. We got married on top of a large hill in the middle of the red mountains. She was willing to fly where ever we wanted to go. She also did the research on the marriage license rules in AZ, and all of the things I wouldn't have thought of.
At the end of the intimate ceremony, she even recited the words to my husband's favorite song by Etta James, (this brought tears to his eyes.) Our wedding day was of course very unique, but she made it even more special!
I highly recommend Diane Walker to be your officiant for your special day!!
Diane is incredible! Flexible and fun!
My husband and I found Rev Diane here on the Knot, and met her for a consultation soon after.
She was very personable, calming, and kind. Immediately we knew Diane was the one we wanted to marry us.
Me had a very non-traditional ceremony, focusing on our love for one another. Diane was on board with our ideas and provided us with beautiful material that she would read in order to make our ceremony unique to us.
She got to know us both, taking time to find out details about is as individuals and about our relationship.
We wanted to do some sort of unity ceremony, but again being non-traditional we didn't want to do sand, or candle, etc. So Diane actually came up with the suggestion for us to do the Wine Box ceremony, which was PERFECT for us and fit our venue quite well.
Diane made time to come to Lexington to do our rehearsal and she made sure everyone knew their responsibilities, and ensured a smooth flow to the ceremony.
The day of the wedding, Diane was punctual and professional. She had a calm reassuring manner and helped to settle my nerves! Her advice was to "breath and just look at the man you love" and she couldn't have said anything better!
Diane did an amazing job of offiating our ceremony. She delivered sweet messages, captured our personalities perfectly in her story about us and how our relationship came to fruition. She added humor as well as eloquent delivery and timing of the ceremony.
We could not have been more pleased with our officiant and would recommend Diane to anyone for whatever kind of ceremony!
Rev. Diane Walker was an absolute joy to work with - in emails, phone calls, in person, and at our wedding. She was incredibly accommodating, kind, calm, and just wonderful! She stayed calm and joyous even after getting lost on the way to the venue, after we had to come up with new vows just minutes before the ceremony, and even after putting up with me while I was being incredibly indecisive about everything. She helped to guide me, mentor me, and prepare me for the big day. She was a true professional and seemed to take genuine pleasure in being a part of our wedding. I couldn't imagine having anyone else officiate our wedding. Both families still rave about her, 3 months after the wedding. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Our original officiant basically cancelled (didn't call or email me back) three weeks before the wedding. So I was on the hunt and came across Rev. Diane's card at our wedding venue. I called and she was pleasant and wonderful to talk to. She put my mind at ease. And because we had already planned on the budget based on the other officiant, she completely understood and worked with us so that we would have someone there to marry us. She was prompt and kept up with me and was such a joy to work with! I would recommend her to anyone that is looking!
