Danielle was amazing to work with and we are so glad that we found her via the Knot! We planned our wedding from afar so we didn't have the opportunity to meet with Danielle prior to the rehearsal, however we communicated via phone prior to booking with her and I knew right away that she was what we were looking for. The ceremony writing process was awesome - she provides an extensive document with tons of examples and word choice options. I love that we were able to use this document to customize our ceremony wording so it was perfect for us! We also opted for the love letter readings where we each send Danielle a letter that the other has not read before, and she reads aloud during our ceremony so we can hear each other's words for the first time in front of everyone. That part was so special and unique - it brought tears to my eyes! I am especially appreciative of Danielle's calming influence the day of the wedding - she could tell I was getting the jitters and asked my bridesmaids to each share a story of an experience with me which of course got me laughing and took my anxiety off of my mind! Danielle comes highly recommended by us, and our families! Thank you Danielle!
Danielle was amazing! We could not have asked for anything better than the experience we had with her. We chose to do prepare and enrich with her prior to the wedding. It was wonderful because we all got to know each other and she really helped us develop more skills as a couple. She was able to keep it real with my now husband and give him some straightforward feedback. Of course, she doesn't play favorites and gave me some things to work on as well. After prepare and enrich, she custom wrote our ceremony to fit exactly what we wanted in our ceremony. Danielle will sit and work with you until every word is correct. We included her specialty (love letters) in our ceremony and it was nerve racking to write the letter, but completely worth it. Rehearsal was a breeze as Danielle easily walked us through the ceremony. She was especially great with my nephews (5 and 3). On the big day, she was their early and made sure to check-in with both of us. She also walked me through all the legal document pieces and made sure that those documents were in a place that i would know. Unfortunately, my father was running late. Danielle expertly handled the situation while still giving sass to my father when he finally arrived. The ceremony was beautiful! Danielle did such a great job keeping us together and following what we had practiced in rehearsal. It felt like a good friend marrying us. The love letters were perfect! There was not a dry eye in the house. My absolute favorite part of the day was our ceremony. I can not speak highly enough of Danielle!
Danielle is everything and more! She is detail-oriented, personable, open to suggestions, and most of all, passionate about giving her clients the most beautiful ceremony! Through her words, kindness, and genuine personality, she is an instant friend and will make any nervous bride or groom instantly comfortable. She gives you her shoulder to lean on if you need absolutely anything. I recommend any couple-to-be to hire Danielle Baker as their Officiant for their big day. Thank you, thank you, thank you Danielle! We love you! --Mr. and Mrs. George :)
I would highly recommend Danielle. She was very accommodating during my planning process. She delivered everything she promised and then some.
When my now husband and I were looking for an officiant for our wedding, we took to the internet as neither of us have a hometown minister. Danielle had great reviews and so we set up a time to speak with her. We are living outside of SC so we skyped with her a couple of times before the wedding. She was only an email away and responded very promptly! As far as the ceremony, it did feel like we were getting married by someone we knew instead of a stranger which was what we were hoping to avoid. She was professional and our love letters were an awesome addition. She worked with us to make sure we had the ceremony that we wanted!
Danielle is AMAZING at what she does! She makes it very easy to customize your ceremony to your liking. She is so kind and charismatic. My husband and I loved having her as a part of our special day.
When you meet Danielle it's like meeting a lifelong friend you didn't know you had! She knew exactly what to say to make us feel comfortable and we are very pleased that we chose her for our Elopement. She had suggestions for photos and really seemed to be enjoying her time spent with us. The whole day turned out just as we desired. Book her now, you won't regret it!
Danielle Baker, The Wedding Lady. Where do I even start? Words can’t describe what a kind and caring individual she is. My wife and I made what we feel is a life long friend in Danielle. We were recommended by a friend to try the Wedding Lady out. We gave it a shot. Man are we happy we did. She was one of the best parts of our wedding. As an officiant, she is the epitome of professionalism. She stays on top of things and guides you throughout the whole process. She has been doing this for a while and knows what she is doing. During my ceremony, I found myself a bit nervous. She calmed me down and told me I didn’t have to worry about a thing and to just follow her lead. She was right. My ceremony was a hit. I would like to add how grateful we are to Danielle for tending to us after the ceremony. She was so caring and wanted to make sure everything was okay. She went well beyond what was required of her. It almost felt like we had a day of coordinator there on top of the one we already had. I conclude by saying this. If you need an officiant who is caring but also super cool and funny, go to Danielle, The Wedding Lady. Not only will you find an officiant, you will also find a friend. She truly honestly cares for you and wishes nothing but the best for clients. If me and my wife ever have bumps on the road and need to talk to someone, we know who we are talking to. For this, we will forever be grateful. Thank you Danielle, The Wedding Lady.
Danielle is amazing!!! She did a WONDERFUL job making our wedding ceremony so special for my husband and I-- we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! So many of our guests came up to us at the reception and told us how unique and special the ceremony was-- the love letters are so many people's favorite parts (and ours!)
We did the Prepare and Enrich pre-marital counseling program with her leading up to our big day, which was so helpful for us as a couple, and it also helped Danielle get to know us really well. By the time we got married Jacob and I felt like we had known Danielle our whole lives!
We cannot thank her enough for all of her helpful advice, amazing listening skills, and power to keep everyone calm the day of the wedding. We seriously cannot say enough-- THANK YOU!
Danielle was great! She made out elopement so very special. And the packet for my name change was awesome. Terrific person to work with and highly recommended.
Danielle is amazing!!! She made our special day more wonderful than we could have imagined. I would highly recommend her to anyone without any hesitation!!! Love love love her!!!
We booked her the day before our elopement and she made everything so simple and easy! She even had a name change packet set up for us.
Danielle is the absolute best! Her customized ceremony was unique to mine and my husbands relationship, which made it even more unforgettable. With no wedding coordinator, I was super nervous with how the wedding was going to run. With no hesitation Danielle stepped in as a temporary wedding coordinator and made certain that everything ran smoothly, it was perfect! If you are in need of an officiant, Danielle should be your very first choice!
Danielle was the absolute best choice we could have made for our wedding. She was so communicative and attentive to our process and created and customized the most perfect ceremony for my husband and I. I could not say enough great things about her attitude, her professionalism, and positive outlook. I loved how our ceremony was so personalized to us and that we received copies afterwards to treasure! I can not thank her enough for working with us and making our special day so special!
My wife and I absolutely loved Danielle Baker. I knew the first time I met her at a wedding festival that she had to be our officiant. In fact, she was the first vendor we booked! During the whole wedding planning process, she was great. She made sure to meet with us several times in order to really get to know us and to understand how we wanted to be married. She did an amazing job at the wedding and made our day very special! We would recommend Danielle to anybody who wants the best officiant around!!
Danielle was such a wonderful guide through our ceremony. She made our wedding absolutely perfect and beautiful. She was so comforting and calm and friendly. We both feel lucky to have found her. Our family and friends all mentioned how much they appreciated the personal touches she included. She read aloud letters we had written to each other in the most sincere way. I wasn't expecting to tear up, but I did, and it was perfect.
April 29, 2017 will go down in history for us!! We couldn't have picked a better officiant for our ceremony! She went right along with our 2 year secret and gave the ceremony the perfect touch when she let everybody in on the fact we were already married!!! It was awesome! The way she performs each ceremony with personal touches....it's just beautiful! I definitely recommend Danielle for your ceremony. She's so down to earth but very serious about her work. Full of laughs and just all around great!!! Thanks Danielle! We love you!!!
Danielle was everything I ever could of imagined on our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding she was so fun and easy to work with. We were in Iowa so we did Skype sessions which turned out to work perfectly. She truly knows what she's doing and I had zero worries throughout the process or on my special day. Thank you Dani, we love you!
She did an amazing job. Very organized and smooth. Ceremony was unforgettable.
Danielle did a wonderful job! She made it so easy to put together exactly the ceremony we wanted and provided lots of great ideas to make it easy to put together. We got many compliments from our guests on our ceremony and we would highly recommend her!
Danielle is absolutely the best at what she does. She customized the most perfect ceremony for my husband and I. The memories of her words will last a lifetime. I could not say enough great things about her attitude, personality, and outlook on marriage. She was so comforting when any nervousness hit. My husband and I both agree that we could not picture anyone else delivering our ceremony. It was an experience I will never forget. She really connected with Ryan and I from the beginning and was always available to talk. She gave us so much great advice and tailored our ceremony in so many ways.
Danielle was fantastic! We did the Prepare/Enrich sessions before the ceremony and by the time we got married, it felt like she was an old friend. The ceremony was beautiful and the counseling was real, honest and incredibly helpful. I cannot recommend her enough- your ceremony will be unique and beautiful. She is professional and competent, which helped to put us at ease during an otherwise extremely stressful event.
We can't believe how amazing our wedding ceremony was. It was all because of Danielle. She was amazing. She made us feel so special from the very start with our first meeting at Panera bread. We later wrote our ceremony with her at her house which made it so personal. She even asked about our story and seemed very interested in knowing about us where other officiants didn't ask about how we met. She helped to make us calm during our ceremony. Most importantly I think we found a new friend through this process. She is an amazing officiant and even more amazing friend. Thank you Danielle.

Danielle was the best! She did absolutely everything in her power to make our wedding day perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more! I would also highly recommend her 6 week pre-marital course. My wife and I learned so much and it has greatly improved our relationship. From day 1, Danielle was welcoming, understanding, helpful and such a joy. By the time we got married my wife and I felt like we had known Danielle our whole lives! From the guys perspective, Danielle is a life saver on the big day. She was wonderful to talk to and helped keep me calm and shake off some of the nerves. She has your back every step of the way (literally). We can't say enough great things about Danielle!
I was referred to Danielle as the *only* option when getting married in the upstate of South Carolina - and that was coming from several different vendors! They were absolutely right - working with Danielle was so wonderful. She is extremely knowledgeable about the marriage process, provided us documentation and tips for obtaining our license and even changing my last name which just goes to show the lengths she goes to for her couples.
My husband and I also went through her Prepare & Enrich course, and we are so glad we did. Danielle has great documentation and work books that helps prepare couples for marriage and anticipate any challenges to work through before hand.
All throughout our reception, folks kept approaching us to tell us how much they *loved* the ceremony and what a fantastic job Danielle did. She made sure we had the ceremony that was perfect for us - not overly religious but respectful, the exact length we wanted and delivered it 100%.
We would recommend Danielle to anyone - regardless of location, beliefs, desired ceremony type, etc. She tailors every ceremony exactly to fit her couples and she takes the time to know and understand the couples to be sure that's the case. She is top notch!
Danielle is THE BEST! My life is beautifully chaotic- I am an active duty service member and mom to three children. I contacted Danielle 4 months prior to our wedding date in a state of panic. I had returned from a 9 month deployment 2 weeks earlier and was in the process of moving half-way across the country. Oh, and attempting to plan a wedding too!
When I found Danielle, I knew that the ceremony (if nothing else) would go smoothly. And it did. Our guests raved about the ceremony and Danielle; and we feel our vows reflected us perfectly.
From my first contact with Danielle to my last, she exceeded my expectations. She was so easy to work with, non-judgmental, and caring. She had a multitude of options for the ceremony and tailored our choices to us. She was always professional, while still being approachable and authentic. I really felt like I was working with a close friend to create the perfect ceremony for my family.
The day of the wedding she even helped with the ceremony flowers!
If you are looking for an officiant who is an expert writer, orator, and counselor who is also super friendly, bubbly, and realiable... then you need to hire Danielle!! You will not be disappointed.
We really enjoyed working with Danielle! She made the process of writing the ceremony very straightforward and helped us through every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, Danielle was a great support - she went far beyond her role as officiant and made a point to visit with each of us and help calm the nerves.
If I could describe Danielle in one word, it would be: Amazing! When I was wedding planning, I knew it would be hard to find someone to marry my now husband & I, because we did not want to get married in a church. I met Danielle at an open house at the Old Cigar Warehouse and the moment we talked, I knew she was going to be the one to marry us. When my husband and I went to Danielle's house to meet to write our vows, it was such a fun, easy process. Danielle is so organized and has so many great ideas and when my husband and I couldn't agree on a section of our vows, Danielle could easily read our body language and give us suggestions on how to compromise. Our vows turned out so unique and I LOVE the fact that we wrote each other love letters and did not hear them until the day of the wedding. It really lightened the mood of the wedding because it had been so emotional. Danielle is incredibly helpful and supportive and I got so many compliments from our guests at how much of an amazing job she did. She is professional and funny and just a wonderful person. Not to mention, at the time we were getting married and did not have a a getaway car planned, other than calling Uber, Danielle was driving for Uber at the time and told us she would ask some of her other Uber friends to see if one would wait outside the wedding venue for us. The day of the wedding, she told me no one was available, so I didn't think much about it, other than just hitting the Uber button before it was time for us to leave. My wedding coordinator told me not to worry about it, that she will take care of us. When my husband and I did our exit, at the end of the stairs was Danielle in her Wedding Lady car and took us to our hotel. Best Uber driver we could have ask for and it made such a wonderful surprise at the end of the evening.
Danielle was absolutely amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. She wrote us a beautiful ceremony that we will remember forever!! Could not have chosen a better officiant for our special day.
Absolutely amazing! Our friends and family are still talking about how wonderful Danielle was! It's been six months since the wedding and a few of my bridesmaids are planning their wedding but the knew they wanted Danielle to officiate especially after the wonderful job she did at our wedding! :)
Danielle was fantastic!!! She was so completely organized, personable, knowledgeable, and helpful!!! She knows many of the venues around and was even able to direct our rehearsal at another site. She also worked hard with us since we were planning our wedding from Boston. I would recommend her services to anyone. She knows her stuff in and out. I didn't have to worry about anything being forgotten because she was on top of everything, making sure we had all our stuff including marriage license, rings, etc. Couldn't have asked for a better officiant!!!
Writing a review of Danielle "The Wedding Lady" Baker is extremely difficult because words won't explain the outstanding job she did for our wedding. We were given her name by a friend and from the moment we contacted her we knew she was perfect for us. Danielle automatically makes you feel at ease and as if you had been friends forever! This made such a huge difference when we went through the counseling and ceremony/wedding planning with her. She was able to counsel us as friends, future husband and wife, and as a third party to help resolve anything! The amount of support and faith in our relationship was unmatchable. After the counseling was over and the ceremony planning begun, Danielle had an answer for everything we wanted in the ceremony and every person we needed to please. It was an amazing experience writing our ceremony that was truly unique to us. The love letters are one of our most prized possessions and we wouldn't have something to that magnitude without her help. During the rehearsal Danielle not only made sure we were the only opinions that mattered she helped diffuse some complicated family dynamics to alleviate the burden on us! Her poise and delivery of our ceremony on the wedding day is what makes her amazing! Without her positivity and fantastic personality we would not have felt so comfortable getting married and to Danielle we will be forever grateful! You will not be disappointed, in fact, you will be overly impressed when you chose Danielle to officiate your wedding! You will not only get an amazing experience, amazing wedding ceremony, but you will get a friend who will always have faith in your relationship and will always be there for you! Danielle we are forever thankful for having you part of our amazing wedding day! 9.24.2016
My wife and I married on 5/15/2015 and Danielle was our officiant. Prior to the wedding, she spoke with us via Webchat (we lived out of state) to get to know us and helped us customize our ceremony perfectly.
On the day of the ceremony, she called in advance and arrived on time. She's so friendly in person and was a perfect fit for our small family wedding. She did an excellent job!
We found Danielle the same way most people probably do - online search. We called and emailed a few people, and they all replied with something like, "here's a link to make a deposit"... except for Danielle. She wouldn't commit to anything before we met face to face to make sure we mesh well enough for her to marry us, which is a refreshing change from "give me your money!" Long story short, we love her to pieces. She made us feel comfortable from the start, knows us inside and out, and has become dear to our hearts. Sign up for the Prepare-Enrich sessions with her. It has truly changed the way we communicate, and we have a deeper understanding of each other forever. You won't regret hiring this woman - it will be the single best decision you will make (besides saying Yes, of course!)!
Danielle was amazing. She made Nancy and I feel at ease. She was very professional through our entire process. When I initially met her she felt like immediate family. I would recommend her to anyone. I was so anxious on my wedding day and seeing her made me feel calm. She rocks! We love you Danielle!
Danielle was wonderful! We used Danielle as our wedding officiant on 8/6/16 and we also did the Prepare and Enrich Program with her. The program helped us tremendously and we're still using techniques she taught us during the program. Danielle is very personable, laid back and has a wonderful sense of humor. We felt very comfortable talking to her about our concerns, issues and marital questions. She wrote a ceremony that was perfect for us and our guests were very impressed! She will not let you down.
Danielle did a great job of customizing our ceremony to our style and wedding. She made sure that we were comfortable and knew what to expect before the big day. On the wedding day she went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran well. I would absolutely recommend Danielle to any couple looking for an officiant.
Danielle is an absolute amazing person and officiant. We were so happy with everything she did for us. She took care of any issues that occurred before the ceremony very professionally and we couldn't have been more grateful for her help. She is so easy to talk to and she genuinely cares about everyone involved. We also love the fact that each ceremony is personalized to the couple and she helps to make the day even more special!
Words can not easily describe just how amazing THE Wedding Lady is. We consider her truly to be a God send! We called Danielle first before contacting any other vendors, even before setting in stone our wedding date. Boy are we lucky & happy we did. She provided a full list of her recommend caterers, photographers, DJs, anything wedding you hadn't even thought of as well as making herself available 24-7 to answer our many questions and to say "it's gunna be fine & we will handle it" Our wedding day & our whole wedding experience was absolutely remarkable because of Danielle! She is so much more than a wedding officiant; She helps you plan your day and is there with you every step of the way making sure it's that special day you have always dreamed of. She arrives early to all events to make sure the ceremony is set how it should be, keeps things and time running smoothly and on schedule, & does not mind pulling up her sleeves to help tie dresses, fix boutonnières, go over last minute details with the DJ, the ushers, photographer, & even calming those wedding nerves & jitters. She helps in any way she sees possible taking an unbelievable amount of stress off of you. She goes above and beyond any & all expectations truly taking care of you and your needs, it's hard not to consider her a friend! The impact Danielle has had on our lives, again there is just no words for. The engery and light she brings to a room and to everyone's spirits is so uplifting, you find yourself smiling uncontrollably because whatever happens, you know it's going to be okay, Danielle's got you! Endless opportunities have come our way by crossing paths with this amazing woman; Our lookout and perspective on day to day situations is a much more positive one, We have a true one of a kind Clemson Tiger acrylic painting hanging in our home done by Danielle, we received free tickets to The Comedy Zone courtesy of Danielle, we have a great like new Char-Broil grill for FREE because she had gotten her husband a new one and didn't want to sell it, she wanted to give it away to someone who could really use it. The Golden heart of this lady is so inspiring and in turn she fills yours just by having known her. No amount of money in the world can buy the experience you receive with Danielle as your officiant. We recommend her to any & every couple looking to make your day truly yours & special! She hand writes each and every wedding ceremony that is so magnificently worded it leaves you and your guest breathless. The "Love Letters" is something so gorgeous and unique it has everyone in awe & has your friends wishing they had done the same. Choosing Danielle Baker The Wedding Lady was the best decision we could have made & will never forget the impact she had on us & our day!

Married 4/23/16
Our wedding ceremony was fantastic thanks to Danielle! From the very beginning, we knew Danielle was the right person to officiate our wedding. She was super nice, and made a genuine effort to get to know us, and was there every step of the way through the entire planning process. She also made the day of the ceremony run smoothly...she definitely knows what she is doing! She was also great with The ceremony was also gorgeous; the love letters were a beautiful touch. We also got several comments from family members after the wedding saying that Danielle did a great job. Even though we had only known Danielle for a few months, it was like we were getting married by a friend. Thank you so much Danielle! You were the best!
We absolutely loved Danielle and Michael Abraham. Danielle did such a great job creating our ceremony. We had so many compliments! We are so grateful to be able to work with her. Highly recommend!
Danielle was amazing and so understanding with our crazy life! She was able to write such a beautiful ceremony that was so personal to us. We even did the love letters. From every guest that was there we were told there was not a dry eye in the room during our ceremony. Thank you Danielle for making our ceremony so special! We love you!!
Danielle is absolutely amazing! From the very first time we met with Danielle via Skype we knew she would be the one to marry us. She really takes the time to get to know both the bride and the groom and to help you grow as a couple. We felt like we had known her for years when we met for the first time! She went above and beyond her call of duty for our wedding day to make sure everything runs as smooth as possible. I honestly felt a sense of relief once I knew she was there! She custom writes every ceremony in which we received so many compliments on and our guests couldn't believe how unique it was. I couldn't imagine having been married by anybody else!
Danielle was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding officiant - she's open, flexible, and creates unique ceremonies that are personal to the couple. Our ceremony was everything we could have wanted! We received many compliments from our guests on how personal and beautiful the ceremony was - people especially loved the Love Letters!
We also utilized the Prepare/Enrich premarital counseling program Danielle offers, and we are so glad we did! Not only did it give us skills to help us continue to grow our relationship, but it also gave us a chance to become comfortable with Danielle, and gave Danielle a chance to get to know us better and make our ceremony that much more special. I would highly recommend Danielle, both as an officiant and a Prepare/Enrich counselor!
Danielle was wonderful to work with! She is incredibly kind and really made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. I am so grateful that she also took the time to get to know us as a couple, and her dedication is evidenced in the beautiful ceremony that she customized for us.
I found Danielle on social media a couple of years ago and have been following her business since. I was so impressed with the passion, creativity, customization, and enthusiasm she portrayed for each of her couples. So, when it came time for the planning of my wedding, I knew instantly who I wanted to officiate. My fiance and I traveled from KS to SC for that reason and there is no doubt it was the best decision we made for our ceremony. Danielle is not just the "wedding lady," she's the "magic maker!"
I would 100% recommend Danielle to ANYONE!
From start to finish Danielle made our day special. During the planning process she walked us through everything from the writing process, steps to get our license, and than information on name changing. Danielle took the time to get to know us so she could write a ceremony that was perfect for US! Danielle made the process of creating a customized ceremony easy and special for us and even included a sand ceremony, remembrance ceremony, and love letters. We had never heard of adding love letters, and this was the most beautiful touch to our ceremony!
This wedding was a first time experience for both of us, Danielle made sure to spend time with us the day before. She went through the whole ceremony to ensure everything would run seamlessly the next day. The day of the wedding Danielle arrived early and it was blatantly obvious that she had done this before (in a good way!!). Se kept everything on time and made sure that everyone was in there correct places and that the rings were present. I could not have imagined our day being any better than it was!
Danielle was fantastic and truly went above and beyond for us. She really wanted to conduct a ceremony based on our beliefs and preferences and never forced her beliefs or views/. Anytime we had a question she was very quick to respond with answers, even if it wasn't related to the ceremony, but wedding questions based on her experience. The day of our wedding, following the ceremony she even helped with setting up the reception and fixing my wedding dress. I HIGHLY recommend meeting with Danielle to see if she is a good fit for your ceremony! Our friends and family also complimented us on a beautiful ceremony and were impressed with Danielle. Words can't describe how beautiful and perfect our ceremony was and it was all thanks to Danielle!!!
We cannot say enough amazing things about Danielle! We were so blessed to have her officiate our July wedding. From our first meeting with her, we knew we made the right decision. She made our wedding so incredibly special! So many people have been coming up to us saying how our ceremony was the sweetest and most beautiful ceremony they have ever been to. She is extremely organized, professional, and personable and truly amazing at what she does! Thanks for making our wedding day perfect Danielle!
We cannot say enough to give Danielle the praise she deserves! We will never be able to recommend her enough. From the very first time we talked over Skype, she was so warm, caring and interested in our relationship. We didn't even need to hang up from the call to agree that we wanted to have her write our ceremony and be there to share in our day.
She was always very responsive to our emails and she helped us come up with a ceremony that was just perfect for us. She was able to give us lots of guidance and was willing to make edits and changes as many times as we wanted. She talked us through how everything was going to go and gave us advice from all of the previous weddings she's been a part of.
During our rehearsal, she was incredible with our 2 flower girls and 2 ring bearers. She was able to help them understand what their task was and why it was so important to carry the signs and throw the flower petals. All of us were in awe at how well she was able to tame 4 children under 8 years old.
Our wedding was in the Charlotte area and we had to go all the way to South Carolina to find someone that we were interested in having officiate our wedding. We were so glad we found her! In the end, we didn't just have an officiant for the weeding, we gained a friend.
Danielle is an amazing officiant. She is very personable and captured the unique qualities of us as a couple in the ceremony. Her ceremony was tailored to exactly what we wanted. The Love Letters section she does was amazing! So many people in our ceremony were crying at how beautiful it was. Danielle made both of us feel at ease at the rehearsal and on the actual day. She is also very quick to respond to email/Facebook and is very organized. We highly recommend her as an officiant to any couple who wants a unique and powerful ceremony.
Danielle was the perfect choice for officiating our wedding. She perfectly captured everything my husband and I wanted our wedding ceremony to be. By customizing the ceremony to us she made it something that was extra special and memorable! We absolutely made the right choice for us!
Danielle was amazing. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. As an out-of-town bride, I was worried about an officiant being a stranger but from the first meeting, she made us feel like we were being married by a friend. After the ceremony, everyone could not stop talking about how beautiful of a ceremony it was. Danielle is one of the best choices we made during our wedding planning.
I would recommend Danielle Baker to anyone getting married. She had the best communication with me (bride) throughout the entire planning phase above any other vendor, hands down. We got married in Charleston and she was booked on the day of but we used her assistant Sharon. Sharon was just as wonderful and thorough. I have nothing but great things to say! I would highly recommend the "love letters" that Danielle specializes in. Everyone at our ceremony said it was by far the sweetest ceremony they have ever been to!
Hands down-- very very very pleased!
We made a great choice when we picked Danielle as our officiant. We had a tiny wedding with just two other people and my dog. I was initially worried Danielle would think our little wedding elopement was a bit sad compared to the elaborate events of other weddings. But she put us right at ease and made our day feel just as special even though it was small.
Danielle was very easy-going and even happily accommodated a very late change to the location and time.
With Danielle you will get someone non-judgmental, easy to work with and a calming presence. We highly recommend her.
Danielle was an absolute joy to work with! She spent a lot of time getting to know us and what we wanted in our ceremony. She wrote the most meaningful and poignant vows for our wedding that said everything in our hearts. There was not a dry eye among our family and friends or ourselves. One of my favorite options was for my fiancé and I to write secret love letters to each other which Danielle read to us during our ceremony. We could have opted to read them to each other but I knew I could never get through it without falling apart. My husband told me after the wedding that he was apprehensive about writing his letter but he is very glad he did and would recommend it to others. We plan on reading our letters to each other every year on our anniversary.
Calling Danielle to perform our wedding ceremony was the best choice I could have made. She made the whole process easy & stress free. We had some issues with our wedding coordinator, and Danielle stepped in and helped make everything run smoothly. I would have been a stressed out Bride if it had not been for her.
She also is just an overall pleasant & great woman. Anyone would be lucky to have her officiate their wedding!
I met Danielle through my job, and after my future husband met her, we knew she was the one. She wrote a beautiful ceremony for us, and became our friend in the process. The counseling was uplifting instead of discouraging, as some marriage counseling can be. You won't be disappointed!!
Danielle went above and beyond and is such a kind person. Our ceremony was perfect thanks to her as she makes you feel comfortable (grooms too!) and engages the guests. She made our ceremony sweet and genuine and it was the perfect length of time. You won't regret booking her-everyone at my wedding loved her!!
Danielle did a beautiful job writing our custom ceremony. She took the time to understand our needs and desires and delivered a wonderful heartfelt ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives. I am so happy that I received the suggestion for The Wedding Lady. We could not have found a better set of ladies to help make our big day so special. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. I really believe God puts the right people in our lives at the right time.
