Brian did a fantastic job officiating our wedding! He was early to the event to avoid any anxiety, and beforehand, he reviewed the ceremony with us to give us the ability to have a hand in the process. Very kind, very professional, and would definitely recommend to others looking for an officiant!

Words cannot speak how appreciative my husband and I are for David Lorenz and sensational ceremonies! David made the whole process of putting our ceremony together extremely easy. We also decided to do some premarital counseling prior to getting married and David made us both feel very heard and validated. It was a great foundation for us to continue to build our marriage. We have been married 5 months now and still talk about how much of a God Send David was to our lives and how this process helped us get through a very magical but stressful day with grace. I HIGHLY recommend Sensational Ceremonies!!

We used Sensational Ceremonies for our wedding and it was GREAT! They were very professional and communicative! They went through everything with us, including a draft of the ceremony that we could edit to our likely! We specifically had Brian Burke for our officiant and he was great. We could reach out anytime to ask questions and he was fast and prompt with a response. He reached out several times as the wedding got closer to make sure everything was the way we wanted it. I can't recommend them enough!

We could not have asked for a better officiant than David! From start to finish, he was incredibly detailed, organized, and thoughtful. He guided us through the entire process with such clarity and professionalism, making everything feel effortless. On the wedding day, his calming energy set the perfect tone — he made us feel relaxed and fully present in the moment. The ceremony was beautifully delivered and reflected us perfectly as a couple. So many of our guests even commented on how wonderful he was! David truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful he was part of our day.

David was absolutely wonderful as our wedding officiant! From our very first phone call, we knew he was the perfect fit. He guided us through creating a ceremony that felt personal and true to us, and on the wedding day he delivered it flawlessly. David was also incredibly reliable with the details, making sure our marriage license was mailed right away. Our marriage certificate was already waiting for us when we returned from our honeymoon. We are so grateful for his warmth, organization, and care, and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for the perfect officiant!

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.

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.

I highly recommend Brian and Sensational Ceremonies to anyone looking for professional, insightful, and empathetic wedding officiant.

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!

Dr Lorenz was great throughout the entire process. He helped us write our own personal vows, walked us through the entire ceremony process, was always available for any questions we had whenever we had them and was happy and personable the entire time.
Highly recommended, especially appreciate the long script he gives you to pick/choose what specifically you want in your ceremony.
