David was the best we could have ever asked for. He gave us everything we wanted for our short legal ceremony before our larger wedding abroad. David is a sweetheart, was welcoming, and is so thoughtful. Look no further, this is the only choice!

Dr. David was a huge part in making our ceremony perfect! He helped build it exactly as we wanted it and was so helpful with tips during the whole process. We were especially appreciative that he attended our rehearsal the night before where he made us feel comfortable and confident for the big day. Additionally we did the pre martial counseling which we would recommend to everyone. The test opened our eyes to a lot that will better our marriage but that wasn’t the only reason we enjoyed it so much, Dr. David got to know us and really took it to the next level. Thank you Dr. David for everything!

Brian did a great job of communicating with us prior to the wedding, and made sure our ceremony would be a reflection of who we are as a couple. He made us comfortable with the process from the get go. In turn, on the big day, every thing was effortless and went according to plan.
An intimate ceremony with a personal touch, and we were so happy to have Brian as our officiant.

We had the honor of having Brian Brunke as our officiant, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead our marriage ceremony. Brian was punctual, professional, and brought a wonderful sense of humor that made the moment even more special. He led our marriage process beautifully and meaningfully, ensuring every detail felt personal and heartfelt.
What stood out even more was his flexibility and willingness to adapt to last-minute additions we requested. He embraced them with grace, making our ceremony feel truly unique and reflective of who we are.
We are so grateful for Brian’s role in our wedding and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who is not only professional but also deeply caring and committed to making your day unforgettable.

Brian was an awesome officiant and made the wedding ceremony exactly what we wanted. He also did our premarital counseling so we got to know him before the wedding day, and that was a great decision. He allowed us to personalize the ceremony to our exact wants and he delivered a great message! He took care of the marriage license promptly and we had no issues at all. He is super responsive and timely with every communication. I highly recommend him for your wedding day and you will be at ease.

David Lorenz did a phenomenal job with our wedding ceremony and we are SO glad we chose him! Sensational Ceremonies was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator (Brandi, NXTLVL weddings) after our original plan fell through of a family friend marrying us. We wanted our wedding ceremony to feel personal, we wanted someone who felt and seemed like they knew us and not just some vendor we found online, we wanted this not just for us as a couple but for our guests as well- David did just that. We had a beautiful ceremony that couldn’t have gone more perfect and we are so glad we chose Sensational Ceremonies, 10/10 recommend!

Whatever expectations you have for your wedding, Dr. David will exceed that and some. From providing an encouraging, supportive walkthrough of the ceremony to offering the best tips and tricks to stay calm and maintain joy!
A pure, class act through all time spent with him. We are truly grateful for the memories made and the blessed vows spoken to one another. From the bottom of Benjamin and I’s hearts…
Thank you, Dr. David! God bless you!

Dr. Lorenz officiated the ceremonies for some of our friends' weddings and so he was very highly recommended for us. We were so happy we ended up working with Dr. Lorenz. He is genuinely one of the nicest people you will ever meet! He is very professional, responsive and we felt very comfortable with him throughout the entire process. We met with him over a phone call and in person before the wedding day to help us - he even call us while he was on vacation! He tailored our ceremony to fit us, was very accommodating and gave us great advice. We highly recommend Dr. Lorenz!

We selected Dr. Lorenz to officiate our wedding ceremony based on the outstanding reviews we had read online about him. He definitely did not disappoint! Dr. Lorenz is genuinely one of the nicest guys we've ever met and he took the time before our wedding day on both a zoom call and an in-person meet to really get to know us. He gave us some great advice on how to format the ceremony so that it would fit our style. He officiated our wedding perfectly and kept it lighthearted and concise. We highly highly recommend Dr. Lorenz as a wedding officiant!!

I cannot recommend Dr. Lorenz enough. He certainly exceeded mine and my wife's expectations from his officiation at our ceremony to the guidance he provided us during our pre-martial counseling. He will forever be a part of the Gomez household and we can't thank him enough for being a part of our special day.

Dr. Lorenz was absolutely amazing and was the perfect person for us! My husband and I wanted our ceremony to be faith based, but still true to us, and with Dr. Lorenz's help, we were able to piece together our perfect ceremony. We also did the pre-martial counseling and it is something we both got so much value out of and have recommended to other friends getting married.

David Lorenz officiated our wedding on New Years Day and did an absolutely fantastic job! We actually came to him last minute (30 days before the wedding) after our initial plans for a family member to officiate did not work out. I was hesitant to hire someone that we did not know for our wedding, but David made it so personal that you would never know the difference! His attention to detail is really what made the ceremony so special. We are so thankful that he chose to help us last minute and we highly recommend him to anyone!

My husband and I cannot recommend David enough for your special day!
During the wedding planning process David was constant, detail orientated, and most importantly just as excited for our big day as we were!
Before the wedding, my husband and I decided to have a few couple sessions with David. During those conversations, David got to know us on a personal level both as individuals and as a couple. He was passionate about helping us grow as a couple and create a strong foundation for our upcoming marriage.
My husband and I decided to write our own vows but did not know where to start. David gave us suggestions on how to begin, what to include and how to put our emotions into words. Then after writing them out, my husband and I sent them to David individually. He took the time to read them over and provided suggestions and edits. He helped us both pick out the right words to make our vows perfect.
During our last meeting together, we sat down and planned out the entire ceremony and discussed how the day would run to ensure we were all on the same page.
Lastly, our ceremony could not have been more perfect. It was full of tenderness and faith from the readings, personal touches, and vows. The moment at the alter was a dream only made perfect with the help of David.
I cannot say enough good things about David. I would HIGHLY recommend him to any brides looking for an officiant!

Brian was great to work with. We had our initial meeting immediately where he went through each detail / plan. We were then able to mention any specifics wed like in our ceremony. Brian was very responsive each time I reached out. With so much planning, you're bound to forget details, but Brian made sure to confirm. The actually ceremony was wonderful. I was moved by his speech and it was exactly what I wanted.

David was our officiant and blew our expectations out of the water. After our first meeting it felt like he had known us for years! He made us comfortable through the entire process of planning our ceremony. We had MANY guests comment on what a wonderful job he did and request his contact information. It was a complete honor to have him as our officiant and a true blessing! He cares about the couples he officiates for and ensures your ceremony is exactly what you are looking for.

David Lorenz was the BEST. He was so great to work with and helped us through the whole process. I highly recommend going through the pre marital counseling. He helped us build an incredible foundation for our marriage.
He also was really beneficial in writing our ceremony and vows, and helped us fully customize our ceremony to exactly how we wanted it to be.
During the rehearsal and ceremony he was calm, supportive, and had a smiling face. Our day wouldn't have been the same without him!

Dr. David Lorenz can be best described as genuine and passionate about working with couples. We considered having a family member officiate our ceremony; however, we now realize that would have been a mistake. We wouldn't have had nearly the same experience and leadership that he brought to the table. Dr. David assisted us in not only crafting the perfect ceremony, but ensuring it was executed to perfection. We had a bit of a weather scare on our day, but Dr. David remained calm and assuring. He knew exactly how to keep the groom and wedding party calm when the ceremony was delayed for about 10 mins while we waited for rain to pass. He also helped to escort us to the reception space so that we wouldn't get accosted by guests! He truly went above and beyond, helped avoid any kind of pitfalls in the ceremony, and exuded an aura of authority and professionalism. We highly recommend Sensational Ceremonies!

We cannot say enough amazing things about David! We throughly enjoyed our pre-marital counseling sessions with David leading up to the wedding, and his insights definitely helped us learn more about each other and our marriage going forward. Our ceremony was everything we had envisioned and David even gave us ideas we had not thought of before but loved including in the ceremony. We loved getting to know him as a person, and we felt like he truly cared about us as a couple. Everyone commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was, and I think a large part was due to David’s charm and easygoing nature. The ceremony felt natural and it flowed as if we had already known David for a long time, which is exactly what we hoped for. We cannot recommend him and Sensational Ceremonies enough, they are simply amazing people to work with.

David Lorenz is truly nothing short of AMAZING! Before getting married, my husband and I did some premarital counseling sessions with Dr. Lorenz over zoom. He was witty, insightful and so easy to talk to. He went above and beyond in helping us work through those last few kinks before tying the knot! When it came to personalizing our vows, David offered us many different ceremony speeches he could do and let me personalize one for myself! He is a wonderful and endearing person all around. I am so thankful and I appreciate all he did for us!!! :) We love you Dr. Lorenz!

I found Dr. David through a friend and I could not be more thankful! He is beyond genuine and kind, and I knew he would be a perfect fit for our ceremony with how he communicates with his couples. He immediately helped us when we had to change our date because of COVID, and I knew I would be devastated if I lost him as a vendor from the date change. We chose to also take our pre-marital counseling with him and it was exactly what we needed. We were both worried about counseling, but Dr. David made us feel extremely comfortable! My husband and I were able to really learn some practical tools for our marriage from Dr. David! I honestly could not recommend him enough! Choose Dr. David!!!

Brian, our officiant and pastor, was so knowledgeable and helpful throughout our experience leading up to the wedding. We even did pre-marital counseling with him which was super fun and really helped Chris and I explore ourselves and our relationship to plan for the hills and valley's that come with marriage. These lessons have already gotten us through so times that would have been challenging otherwise. Thank you!
