Reverend Deanna D. Lancaster

she was flexible and understanding, especially when we had to reschedule meetings a few times due to emergencies. She never made us feel rushed or stressed—only supported. Deanna provides ceremony templates that you can mix and match to truly reflect what feels right for you as a couple. We chose to customize ours and write our own vows, and she thoughtfully reviewed both my vows and my husband’s separately via email. She worked with us through multiple revisions of the ceremony draft, always offering guidance with care and empathy. On the wedding day itself, Deanna was a calming presence during what could have been a very chaotic day. She truly stepped up when our day-of coordinator was unexpectedly MIA during the rehearsal the day before the wedding. After the ceremony, she stayed with me for a while, reassuring me that our guests were having a great time—even though it was cold and raining. She never rushed, remained patient and kind through everything, and radiated warmth with her bubbly, empathetic personality and infectious smile. As a final, incredibly thoughtful touch, she even gave us the sweetest wedding gift. If you are looking for an officiant who is professional, compassionate, flexible, and genuinely cares about your experience, Deanna is it. We would recommend her without hesitation.

sted we add a handfasting ceremony just 2 months before the wedding, she helped guide us with what that entailed. At the rehearsal, she helped guide us and smooth things out. And of course, at the ceremony itself, she was flawless. Initially, I had considered asking a friend to do our ceremony so it would feel more personal, but I'm so glad I went with Reverend Deanna, as she managed to make it feel personal while still bringing experience and professionalism.

helped us through many steps of the process and put together a truly beautiful ceremony. We would recommend Rev Deanna to anyone looking for a personal and heartfelt service.

fortable and excited to work with her. Reverand Deanna was well prepared and showed significant experience by providing plenty of example ceremonies which made it easy to find inspiration and plan our perfect ceremony. After one phone call, she was able to put together a ceremony that was beautifully written and personalized to us. We were so impressed at how well she understood our ideas and requests and put them on paper in the perfect way. She even went above and beyond by making sure our marriage license was submitted and processed correctly as we live out of state. I can not say enough good things about our entire experience with Deanna - she gave us a perfect wedding day and brought so much kindness and joy to the entire process!

t of making our day so special! Thank you Rev D!

a. She was able to provide sample ceremonies and guidance that helped us craft a ceremony that was truly us. The ceremony was beautiful and I felt like it captured our relationship perfectly. We would both highly recommend Rev. Lancaster!

the entire process a breeze. She provides a variety of sample ceremonies well in advance, giving you the opportunity to choose one that fits your vision perfectly. She’s also incredibly flexible, allowing you to customize every detail and tweak as needed, all while ensuring your final ceremony is exactly what you want. On the day of my ceremony, Deanna arrived on time, looking polished with her hair, makeup, and reverend robe perfectly in place. She carried herself with such grace and professionalism, and her performance was absolutely flawless. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless the ceremony was—it was truly perfect! I can’t recommend Deanna enough. If you want your ceremony to be unforgettable and run smoothly, she’s the one to hire. She’s worth every penny. A friend of mine had a family member officiate their wedding, and while they did a good job, hiring a professional like Deanna makes a world of difference. You won’t regret it!

ged to capture the essence of our relationship perfectly. Your calm and reassuring presence helped us feel at ease during such an emotional moment. Our families also commented on how lovely the ceremony was and how much they appreciated your warm and inclusive approach. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable. We are truly grateful for your guidance and support. Love, The Timko's

d stress-free. Her warm demeanor and thoughtful guidance ensured that our special day went off without a hitch. Reverend Deanna took the time to understand our vision and incorporated our personal touches seamlessly into the ceremony. Her calming presence and genuine care added a beautiful, serene atmosphere to our vows. We felt supported and understood every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated and compassionate officiant. Thank you, Reverend Deanna, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

et up a call with her based on her wonderful reviews-- which I can now say are 100% accurate! Rev. D was wonderful to work with from start to finish. When I told her I wasn't sure where to start with the ceremony, she graciously sent over 15 - 20 scripts from her previous weddings to use as a jumping-off point. I gave her back a Frankenstein-esque mash-up of the parts of the ceremonies that resonated with us & she suggested important tweaks to help with the flow of the ceremony. When Rev. D arrived on Wedding Day, she made sure to find both of us to ease any worries/ answer any last-minute questions. She officiated our ceremony flawlessly & it felt that much more special given that it was 100% tailored to us. I would absolutely recommend booking Rev. D to anyone looking for a beautiful, personalized, well-run ceremony (& all the help that it takes to get there)!

personal & special, and she was just that. From the moment we began contacting her, she accommodated us in every way, shape, and form, answering any questions we had as well as helping us proof our ceremony (she even sent us some examples to get a good idea!) When she arrived to our actual ceremony, she was so kind, and I was so grateful to have such a sweet presence of energy at the venue. When I was nervous about the timing of everything, she told me everything from that moment forward would feel like a blink in time, and to enjoy each moment of it. She was not only right, but it is also something that I will never forget! We are so forever grateful for her and we will never forget our experience with her. Book her for your wedding, you will thank me later!! -Kayla and JJ Wheeler (married by Rev. D 12/29/2023!)

and made us feel so comfortable and calmed any nerves we had on our big day! I have seen so many officiants run out after the ceremony concludes and she stayed until I was available to even ask for our marriage license - like wow!!! She talked with our guests, and joined in on some of our photos… and the best part too- she dropped off our marriage license for us, and sent us a confirmation so we didn’t have to stress about it ! I also forgot to ask if she could step to the side for our kiss photo at the ceremony and completely forgot…. She did it on her own!! Just all around an amazing person, and I can’t say enough great things! She truly went the extra mile and was a step above the rest in every little detail for our wedding. We will forever remember our special day and know that she was a BIG part of it!

rn a hand fasting method she wasn’t familiar with in order to accommodate us ❤️ we love her and would recommend her to anyone.

onsive, talked with us on the phone, eased our concerns, and even explained the marriage license process. She also sent us around 20 examples of ceremonies she's performed previously so we could create a ceremony that reflects us as a couple. There was no issue with how religious or secular the ceremony was, and she even said a blessing before our dinner reception. If I could give 6 stars I would - Rev D was the BEST and several of my wedding guests complimented how well-spoken she was! You will be in good hands working with her!
