Coming in we had no clue what we wanted other than we wanted to get married in Yellowstone and have a romantic outdoor wedding. We shopped around a bit, but unfortunately the other...
officiants in the area didn't have availability for our date. When we reached out to Dale, he was able to take it. We did a virtual meeting with him (since we were coming from Dallas) and he was beyond helpful. Gave us options of locations, helped us figure out where to get our wedding license, and got me connected with an amazing hair stylist Courtney! With all of that and filing our marriage license for us he made everything easy and enjoyable!

ld have taken months and squeezed it into weeks. His professionalism speaks bounds for his character. He was with us every step of the way, and went above and beyond. In the end, we couldn't imagine our special day without Dale being at that altar with us. I would recommend his services to anyone trying to make their perfect day just a little more perfect. Thank you, Dale!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Dale from Weddings of the Wild, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, Dale was incredibly responsive, easy ...
to talk to, and made the entire process feel comfortable and stress-free — which, as a bride who had no idea what I was doing, was such a gift! Together, we personalized our ceremony, and Dale took the time to truly get to know us as a couple. That personal touch made the ceremony feel not only unique, but incredibly meaningful and memorable. He helped guide us through planning every detail — from the structure of the ceremony to the overall timeline — and made sure everything ran smoothly. I never felt lost — he brought clarity, calm, and confidence throughout the process. Dale also helped run our rehearsal and worked hard to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted. On the day of, He was warm, kind to all of our guests, and delivered a ceremony that people are still talking about. It was beautiful, heartfelt, and truly reflected who we are. If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony feel like you, and support you every step of the way, Dale is your person. We are so grateful to him for everything he did to help make our wedding so special and unforgettable.

Dale is absolutely the best! He handled a spring elopement last year for my husband Michael and I. Took extra time to make sure our ceremony included all the fine details we wanted...
added in, his ceremony had us both crying. He was thorough and professional at every turn and we would highly recommend him!
