Rev Dawn made our wedding day absolutely perfect with her exceptional services. Her talent and expertise are truly remarkable, and she deserves nothing but the "BEST" title for her...
outstanding contributions to our special day. The ceremony was exactly as we envisioned – short, sweet, and with a sprinkle of humor. Rev Dawn went the extra mile to customize the ceremony and our vows to cater to our specific needs, even engaging our guests along the way. We are deeply grateful to Rev Dawn for helping to bring our dream wedding to life!
Very Special Interfaith Wedding
We are so thankful that Reverend Dawn was a part of our very special day. We come from different religious backgrounds, and we searched for someone ...
who would honor both with sincerity. Reverend Dawn brought a sensitivity and thoughtful approach to our ceremony that we believe is unmatched. She has a peaceful brightness about her that is both luminescent and enchanting. We had heard her voice from listening to a couple of her videos, and her voice is quietly compelling. She is a unique soulful character, and she skillfully guided us to craft a memorable and meaningful ceremony. We highly recommend her if you are interested in an officiant who will help you create a deeply meaningful ceremony that is also engaging, crisp and eloquent.
We are so thankful to have found Rev. Dawn! My husband and I aren't religious but some of our family is and we knew we wanted a wedding ceremony that still felt special and true to...
us. Rev. Dawn helped craft a truly special and perfect ceremony that was so quintessentially my husband and I. We had people coming up to us all night telling us specifically how special and beautiful our ceremony was. My godmother even said she wanted to get married to her husband again and use our ceremony as a blueprint! Truly so thoughtful and personal.
We also opted to do a few premarital counseling sessions with Rev. Dawn prior to the wedding. While we felt like we already had a pretty good foundation, the tools that she gave us have already helped us and made us feel like we have the best start to our marriage!
I cannot recommend Rev. Dawn and her services enough!
I was extremely particular about searching for an officiant for my wedding. I'm Catholic and come from a mixed heritage background and my husband is Muslim. We wanted a balance of ...
spiritualism and tradition that felt right for us. Rev Dawn helped us customize our ceremony, and, more importantly, made it EASY!
Plus on the day of our wedding, we had a couple of incidents (last minute changes, the fire department came right before our start time, and we had an interruption during the ceremony). Rev Dawn kept us calm and collected throughout. She rolled with the punches in such a professional way. While I was in complete shock half the time, she kept the wedding going and smoothed everything over. I had at least 10 different people (bridal party & guests) tell me how awesome and wonderful she was. Seriously, I've had more positive feedback about her than the venue, attire, food, decor, etc. If you already have a vision of your ceremony or if you have absolutely no idea where to start, I highly recommend Rev Dawn. Either way, she'll guide you towards creating the most beautiful, heartfelt ceremony.
My wife found Rev. Dawn to be our wedding officiant and we couldn't have had a better experience. From the very start, she was incredibly helpful and responsive. We were super spec...
ific about what we wanted incorporated into our ceremony, and Rev. Dawn helped us craft the perfect ceremony. She also does a great job of helping you keep your vows personal, and truly expressing what you love about your partner.
Our wedding day was incredibly stressful as my wife and I were trying to juggle two cultures mixing. I can't express how much Rev. Dawn helped calm our nerves. Everything from unexpected interruptions to fire alarms, she handled with such calm and grace. Honestly, we had been looking for an interfaith/progressive officiant for a good year and Rev. Dawn was a blessing. Not only does she have an incredible knowledge of working with many different religious backgrounds, but she also made everyone at our wedding feel united. I know this sounds cheesy but I felt this moment of spiritual unity during our ceremony!
Would highly recommend, and thank you Reverend Dawn!
Rev. Dawn was an absolute pleasure to work with. We’re convinced we were meant to work with her because we called her less than a month before our wedding and she happened to be av...
ailable! From our very first meeting to the day of our wedding everything was well organized and stress free. Her many years of experience and calm demeanor make her the perfect person to officiate weddings. Our ceremony was so beautiful and personalized that all of our guests assumed she was a longtime friend of ours. We highly recommend Rev. Dawn and thank her for an amazing ceremony that set the stage for a wonderful wedding day.
We worked with Rev. Dawn and Rev. Mercy to create our dream wedding ceremony, and we were lucky enough to have Rev. Mercy officiate the ceremony itself. To say that our ceremony wa...
s perfect would be an understatement - they spent so much time with us creating a ceremony script that really reflected who we were as a couple. We had suggestions and input, but they knew exactly how to put it all together, make suggestions, and make it flow to be exactly what we dreamed of. The ceremony was so unique and personal, and Rev. Mercy did an amazing job making it naturally flow - it was a dream come true. I can’t thank them enough; there is no one we would have rather had to make our big day perfect. Thank you Rev Dawn and Rev Mercy - you both are the best!!!
Rev. Dawn was so amazing during the entire planning process of our wedding and the day of. She responded to emails almost immediately (which is helpful for a stressed bride living ...
abroad!) and she made suggestions for our ceremony that made it 100 times better. We feel so lucky to have found someone to officiate our wedding who was perfectly fluent in French, as many of my husband's guests didn't speak English. We couldn't have asked for anyone more perfect to officiate! Thanks again, Rev. Dawn!
Rev. Dawn was simply the best. Of all wedding planning tasks, I was most nervous about finding the perfect officiant. I believe this is the biggest decision for your ceremony becau...
se this person is going to orchestrate the most important words you have ever shared with your life-long partner and all of your loved ones. My husband and I met with several officiants before Rev. Dawn, and Rev. Dawn instantly stood out among them all. Once we found her, the rest was so simple. We did five pre-marital counseling sessions in addition to our ceremony meetings, and it was the best decision we have made for our marriage. Rev. Dawn has a gift in which she creates the most comfortable and safe atmosphere and my husband and I both felt so comfortable. She is very organized and there was never a question about what was expected of us or where we were in the planning process. She had a very detailed guide to help us decide what options we wanted to use for our ceremony -- it was simple yet very customized. Very US! She was flexible and considerate, unbiased and intentional. I cannot imagine anyone else marrying us!
After talking to other people's experiences with officiants -- I realized how easy Dawn made this whole process.
Passages for inspiration for readings.
A unique approach to cere...
mony -- which included not only a way to incorporate a story but also tailor made vows. A quick read through both the bride & groom vows just to make sure they are similar in length + tone without giving away any surprise.
Easy online system makes it a breeze to book appointments, which is so much easier to deal with than going back and forth several times trying to book a slot.
Ability to choose through the different types of openings/closings, etc to choose from. And a final read through just to make it come together.
This was one of the easiest parts of planning, thank you Dawn.
Rev. Dawn was a pleasure to work with! My husband and I felt at ease from our initial phone conversation to our first meeting! We chose to write our own vows and Rev. Dawn helped g...
uide us through this process and helped us find the courage to recite these on our wedding day! I would highly recommend working with her!
Rev. Dawn officiated our wedding on June, 2016. She was very helpful and professional throughout the whole process of planning the ceremony. Rev. Dawn included all the elements tha...
t we value as people in the ceremony including our different beliefs and philosophies. We chose for our wedding the Global package with ceremonies from different traditions and cultures. It was especially important for us that she performed a bilingual (Spanish/ English) ceremony that made both our families feel included. The ceremony was beautiful and special. All our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed the ceremony and that Rev. Dawn did a wonderful job.
Rev Dawn was our officiant for our wedding in May in Sandy Springs, GA. We were really drawn to how comfortable we felt with Dawn given our mixed faith background. Putting together...
the ceremony was so easy and the personal touches like the love letter to each other really made the ceremony heartfelt and fun at the same time. Our guests were also impressed by her calm, soothing voice and smooth flow of the ceremony. Rev Dawn is a pro and is definitely recommended!
We were so blessed to be married by Rev Dawn. Everything was just magnificent. She is a truly blessed woman and we loved working with her. Everyone loved our vows that we wrote to ...
each other. Everything about the ceremony just embodied the love that we have for one another. She was truly amazing!
Wow - I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rev. Dawn! What a lovely person and incredible professional; so understanding and kind. Everyone who attended our wedding loved the...
ceremony, particularly how personable, sweet and loving it was. We had an interfaith ceremony and Dawn could not have delivered it more respectfully and graciously. So easy to work with; so knowledgable; so creative! Thank you, Rev. Dawn!
My husband and I found Rev. Dawn as recommended on The Knot website, among others, and she did not disappoint! We were looking for an officiant for an intimate (no invitees) cerem...
ony without biblical references and Rev. Dawn was happy to accommodate our unique preferences regarding ceremony content. We also met with Rev. Dawn multiple times prior to the ceremony for either marriage counseling sessions or ceremony prep and she was always professional, punctual and in good spirits. She helped craft a ceremony that really spoke to who we are as individuals and a couple and guided us through the process of writing our own vows. A true pleasure to work with and highly recommend!
Rev. Dawn was a HUGE hit at our wedding in April 2016. She really set the tone for the entire event, and she blew away our guest with her lovely voice and kind words.
We are a les...
bian couple. Rev. Dawn was incredible in helping us make arrangements that fit our beliefs, our relationship, and our love. She worked with us to fashion a ceremony that spoke to our story.
My wife and I absolutely adore her. We live in Maryland; but, if we were local, we would absolutely participate in the marriage preparation counseling she offers.
She is brilliant. Very reasonably priced for the fabulous experience enjoyed. She even helped us save money on our rehearsal costs. She's an ATL gem, for sure.
Rev. Dawn was absolutely fantastic. She is accommodating, helpful, sincere, and a pleasure to be around. I would recommend Rev. Dawn to any couple looking for an officiant.
How can you not love Rev. Dawn. I feel like she is a part of our family now. We did premarital counseling and used her as our officiant and I would 1000% recommend her to anyone. S...
ince we spent so much time with her, she was able to design our ceremony to reflect a sense of us as a couple. We personalized it some, while also keeping a traditional aspect. The best part though is that no matter what you want, Dawn is able to design the ceremony to fit you and your loved one perfectly. She is the best!
Rev. Dawn was wonderful from the first moment. She was helpful with the planning, understanding that we wanted a in-home Christmas Eve celebration and made herself available at ver...
y short notice.
From planning the steps to helping make the vows flow she was patient and caring.
As a same sex couple of 24 years we were not met with open arms from other Officiates contacted. Rev. Dawn recognizes and celebrates love no matter who is involved. As it should be.
Rev. Dawn does something that our guests still talks positively about. She includes them in the vows and asks if they will support and respect the couple. Very inclusive and appreciated by all who were there.
We will always remember our day and will always be grateful that we met and included Rev. Dawn in our lives.
If you're looking for the best officiant look no further! We loved Rev Dawn and our entire ceremony was perfect and went off without a hitch. The ceremony and vows were as unique a...
nd personal as we had hoped. Thanks to Rev Dawn and her ceremony packages and guidance we had the most memorable ceremony ever. All of our family members and guests loved it and so did we! Everyone is still talking about it 3 months later! Book Rev. Dawn as your officiant! She's awesome!
Rev. Dawn was such a pleasure to work with! She helped us develop a ceremony that was a true reflection of who we are as a couple, and how we wanted to present ourselves to our fa...
mily and friends on our wedding day. Her assistance in writing personalized vows was incredibly helpful, and I would gladly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional officiant for their special day.
Don't know where to start with Dawn. My partner (now husband) and I had Dawn do our premarital counseling as well as officiating our wedding. She was perfect in all aspects. Her ba...
ckground in phycology combined with her passion for being an officiant made her the best choice for our wedding. Our guests raved about her and the personal nature of our ceremony. We asked her to customize some words about us before starting our ceremony and she did so beautifully. She took our premarital counseling very serious and made it a comfortable and fun experience where she gave us some great tips for a healthy marriage as well as made us both feel at ease talking to each other and her about our backgrounds and relationship. Our guests told us they have never experienced such a touching and moving ceremony. Not a dry eye was in the house including the DJ whom told us he never cried at a wedding. This speaks volumes for Dawn's abilities. We are so grateful we had her be part of such a special part of our life. She does an excellent job at offering suggestions and she gives truly honest opinions and feedback speaking bluntly about things she may not think will flow right etc. We appreciated her passion, honesty and integrity. Thanks so much Dawn!
Rev. Dawn officiated baby blessing ceremonies for both of our sons... one in April of 2012 and one in October 2015. She helped us create a totally custom and personal ceremony for ...
each boy, including readings, vows, and rituals. Her manner puts everyone at ease and adds to the joy of the day. Both ceremonies were beautiful and meaningful. We recommend Rev. Dawn for any ceremony! (Obviously, my role is parent to the baby being blessed... "parent of the bride/groom" is the closest role I could find!)
When my husband and I decided to get married I knew there was no one else that could take us through the process than Rev Dawn. She is kind, and caring and you can feel that she i...
s invested in you and your love story and is there to make sure you have the most amazing memorable experience on your way to saying I Do. Our wedding was perfect and it started with Dawn.

ns, and performed with such grace. Her speaking voice is lovely (and clear). She has personality. Not robotic and detatched like some others you may find. She ACTUALLY CARES, so it comes across in her delivery.
Thank you Rev. Dawn for all you did for us. I am truly grateful.
I would definitely recommend Rev Dawn, the service was stellar and the ceremony was customer to our particular needs, I am Catholic and my husband is a Muslim, also, she spoke in b...
oth French and English, she tailored it in a way that included both our faith, she helped us with our vows, I have never attended a ceremony like ours before. Our families flew from overseas and let me tell you, even my bachelor brothers after listening to her words and assisting to our beautiful ceremony, only had those words "you made us cry and I want to get married too", never heard any of them say that so you can imagine 😊.
Thank you so much Dawn it was so beautiful.
Hands down the best I could find for an affordable price considering the work she put in.
Reverend Dawn really helped make our ceremony something special. We were so focused on our reception and all the other details of our wedding day, we were pretty much taking our c...
eremony for granted. Thanks to Reverend Dawn, however, she helped mold our ceremony into something very personal and unique. There was a balance of humor and seriousness. The length of the ceremony was perfect. We highly recommend Reverend Dawn. Go with the option to write your own vows with her help.
Rev. Dawn was excellent to work with. She was very organized, responsive to our emails, and helpful with all of the details. She provided us with outlines to choose from and worked...
with us as we customized them to match who my husband and I are as a couple. Rev. Dawn spoke very well and didn't miss a beat when my husband jokingly said "I don't"! Good thing she made his answer the question again. :) Finding the right person to officiate the wedding was not as easy as I thought it was going to be. Very happy we found Rev. Dawn.
Rev. Dawn guided us through what became an exceptional ceremony.
This past spring we started seeing Dawn for pre-marital
counseling and it became clear that she is a gifted, cari...
ng professional. Through
Dawn’s counseling sessions, we enhanced our level of communication and
understanding, as well as our commitment to do the necessary work to strengthen
our relationship. When it was time to select an officiant for our ceremony, the
choice to work with Dawn was easy and crystal clear. She designed a ceremony
that was authentic and heartfelt, the perfect platform for this celebration
with the family and friends that form our community. So many people have asked
us, “How did you find Rev. Dawn, she is wonderful?” THANK YOU Dawn
for your thoughtful guidance and support, it has been a genuine pleasure!
I can't say enough about how amazing Rev. Dawn is. We got married over six months ago (10.18.14) and I still have guests who approach me to compliment the unique ceremony, her offi...
ciating, and the incredible job she did in three languages. You read that right- Rev. Dawn officiated our wedding ceremony in English, French AND Spanish- and so beautifully, with such poise, that our guests from all over the world were not only impressed, but touched.
From the minute I found Rev. Dawn (I still think it was a mini-miracle) I knew she would be perfect for our non-religious, multicultural, lighthearted wedding ceremony. She was very easy to work with and helped guide us through the process to create something special- just for us. She worked hard to make sure we were happy and comfortable with every aspect of the ceremony, and paid particular attention to the languages and assuring the words carried the correct tone and meaning.
When I look back on our wedding day, it makes me emotional to remember it all and I feel lucky that we found Rev. Dawn to marry us. She also officiated a friends ceremony a few months ago, and they were just as happy and thankful to have found her!
Both my husband and I highly recommend Rev. Dawn.
Dawn was such a joy to work with. She made our ceremony so personal and we cannot count how many compliments we have received about her and the ceremony as a whole. The wedding cer...
emony is often forgot in the wedding planning process, but the ceremony is the reason there is a party. Dawn highlighted our love for one another and put together the perfect ceremony for us. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. We also had premarital counseling with her and it has given us plenty of tools to always communicate a little more. Dawn is kind, willing to work with crazy schedules, and has an amazing talent. We cannot recommend Dawn enough to couples looking for a personal touch to their wedding. Thank you, Dawn!

re unique, personal, and powerful, even though my husband was nervous about writing his in a second language. Her demeanor was warm and sincere at the ceremony. With her help, her ceremony was exactly what I'd hoped it would be, and a unique expression of who we are. We also received many compliments from others about the ceremony and how powerful it was.
Reverend Dawn was nothing short of fantastic to work with. Our ceremony was so much more than we could have hoped for or possibly imagined. It was the highlight of our day and almo...
st all of our guests commented at one point or another on the wonderful heartfelt ceremony. For days after, we and our families could not stop talking about the very special and meaningful ceremony. Reverend Dawn was recommended to us by a friend who had a small family wedding and thought she was great to work with and made their day so special. We also took advantage of Reverend Dawn’s pre-martial counseling sessions. They have been important to us in the early stages of our marriage and we agree the guidance and tools she provided in those sessions will be something we continue to utilize and reflect on for years to come. We would enthusiastically recommend Reverend Dawn and could not imagine our ceremony without her support throughout.
We used Rev. Dawn after seeing her at a close friend's wedding. She's so genuine and nice, we knew she'd be a wonderful officiant for our wedding too. She's incredibly responsive.
...
She offers pre-marital counseling, which we didn't take advantage of, but it was never pushed on us. She's honest when she says its your decision. She's also an interfaith minister, which didn't matter to us, but I think its a nice touch if you are coming from two different backgrounds.
We loved having her as our officiant, and she is quick on her feet! We had two ring bearers with ring "stand ins" (instead of the real deal), when they went to give her the rings she quickly hid the real ones and took theres, avoiding a melt down.
We hired Rev. Dawn as our officiant for our wedding, and she was amazing. She worked with us to create a personal and touching wedding ceremony that our guests were raving about. I...
t was simply perfect! She delivered it flawlessly and was great to work with. We've been to other weddings where officiants were hired and it was a disaster -- this was the complete opposite! People couldn't believe that we had never met Rev. Dawn before working with her for the ceremony. She's great!
Rev. Dawn was great. She has great ideas and inputs. She also has a great voice too (which an officiant should have if they can help it)! Rev. Dawn has many different packages and ...
ceremony options for you to chose from. She was great and we definitely would recommend her to anyone.

Rev. Dawn was a wonderful addition to our ceremony. She delivered the ceremony beautifully!
Every single person that has congratulated us on getting married has first told us how much they loved our ceremony. Rev. Dawn put together the most personal and unique wedding we ...
and everyone else had ever seen. She was very helpful throughout the whole process, with a ton of creative ideas, and endless knowledge. We will forever remember the words we shared with each other on our wedding day... all with the assistance of Rev. Dawn. A couple that attended our wedding asked for Rev. Dawn's contact info and have already met with her. They were absolutely blown away by her presents and the outstanding ceremony she hosted. We will now have the pleasure of seeing her marry our friends :)

l shower just wasn't necessary. I wanted to do something very special, so Dawn and I talked at great length about how to do a Bridal Blessing instead. Because we live in different states, Dawn wasn't able to officiate the Blessing, but she gave me great insight about how to do it myself, what kind of questions I should ask the bride ahead of time, and how to prepare. The Blessing was amazing. The invited guests (all women) have each come to me afterward to tell me that it was a very powerful event, and the bride couldn't have been happier. Dawn's insight and creativity helped me plan a beautiful afternoon. I highly recommend her services!
