Reverend Dee was such a delight to work with from beginning to end. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with her for our very special day. Even though we live in Chicago and she is here in Missouri between phone calls and emails, we made it happen. She really got to know our vibe right from the get-go. She explained everything to us and made it very simple with us being out of state. I worried about feeling lost and unsure of what direction to go next, but Reverend Dee was a wealth of information and resources. When we met on our wedding night, although we opted for a "quick ceremony," she didn't make it feel quick, and we felt like we were around a good friend we had known for a while.
I highly recommend seeking her out if you're looking for a super fantastic, laid-back, professional officiant.
Thank you, Reverend Dee, for making mine and Jason's day a day to remember!
The Miller's! ❤️

Our ceremony was perfectly catered to what we asked for and more! Reverend Dee’s positivity, warmth, and commitment to her craft made the wedding even more beautiful. She was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with and made the process simple while also providing the space for us to think of the details we would’ve probably missed. I would highly recommend her services! You will not be disappointed!

Reverend Dee was truly a godsend! We were traveling from out of town for our wedding and weren’t familiar with all the steps we needed to take, but she made everything so easy. She was incredibly communicative and guided us through the entire process with patience and care. During our rehearsal, she walked us through every detail so we felt completely prepared. We were nervous about the rain (and of course, it did rain!), but she helped us create a backup plan inside the venue that worked out perfectly on the big day. I highly recommend Reverend Dee if you’re looking for a heartfelt, meaningful ceremony and someone who will keep everything beautifully organized!

Reverend Dee Was the absolute best. Coming from one wedding straight to mine and rushing around to make it all work for me. She is so deserving of more than 5 stars. If you want your ceremony to be the least stressful part of your wedding… hire Reverend Dee!

Reverend Dee was awesome to work with. She had a spot lined up for us to meet and made the process extremely easy. You can really tell she loves what she is doing. We did a really quick ceremony, and even though it was fast she helped make it feel as special as it was. Thank you Reverend Dee!!!

Rev. D is such a lovely woman. She responded quickly to my last minute panicked request. I had though this would be a snappy hurried affair but it was far from it! This ceremony was short (The package we paid for) but she it was treated with such care. We really felt like she was not only happy for us but happy to be there in the first place.
If we were to do it over again we would HAVE to have our Rev. D there with us.

Reverend Dee performed such a sweet, heartfelt ceremony for my husband and I. We had a small gathering of close family and friends in our own home in front of the fire place on a cloudy day. It was a perfect ceremony that we will cherish forever! Planning with Reverend Dee was straightforward and easy, I felt relaxed about everything after she explained how it would go. She even surprised us with a beautiful poem during the ceremony. We are very satisfied with how everything went!

We couldn’t be happier with Reverend Dee. From our first call, she made us feel comfortable, listened to our story, and helped us plan a ceremony that felt completely unique and personal. She brought such warmth, compassion, and professionalism to every step of the process.
On the big day, Reverend Dee guided us and our guests through a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that was equal parts meaningful and joyful. Her words were perfectly tailored to us, capturing our love and commitment in such a sincere way that there wasn’t a dry eye in the room!
We are so grateful to have had her as part of our wedding. If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony truly special, Reverend Dee is absolutely the best choice. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much, Dee! So much love from Joshua & I!

We would highly recommend Rev Dee for any ceremony. From the very beginning of the planning stages to the end of the ceremony, she made our wedding a breeze. She was easy to communicate with, prompt on responding, very professional yet easy going and helped make our day tailored fit for us. We had a small ceremony, and it was absolutely perfect.
We look forward to the years to come and be able to use her for vow renewals.

Rev. Dee went above and beyond to guarantee our day went smoothly and perfectly. Our planner couldn't attend the rehearsal, so Dee jumped in to help make sure everyone knew when to walk and where to stand. The ceremony was personalized and perfectly put together. She's a professional!

I am so glad we chose Dee for our wedding day! She was extremely professional, prepared, and so easy to work with. She helped us plan our ceremony to curate it to us and what we value. She communicated with us often leading up to our wedding to confirm details. She was very flexible and made last minute changes as needed. I received so many compliments from our families with how beautiful her choice of words were and how well she spoke. We couldn't thank Dee enough for the time and effort she put in for us and our wedding day!

Reverend Dee was wonderful for our Lake of the Ozarks ceremony on 9/23. We received many compliments on what a wonderful job she did. She was able to incorporate all aspects of the ceremony that we were looking for. She kept the rehearsal and ceremony short and sweet just what we wanted! We would highly recommend her to anyone in the area.
