⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rev Derek was the best! We struggled to find an officiant because we were planning out of state. He was kind, communicative and reliable. I highly recommend him. He was funny and engaging. He also helped keep our rowdy groomsmen in line. Thank you for making our ceremony so special Rev. Derek!

Rev. Derek was an amazing officiant. My husband and I talked to a few different officiants before we chose Derek to be the officiant for our August wedding and pre-marital education and coaching. Derek is personable, funny, and understanding. He listens, offers advice, and will go above and beyond to make your day exactly how you imagine it. If you hire Rev. Derek you will not regret your decision!
