    Highly Recommend

    Dusty made our day so special! His thoughtfulness around creating a ceremony that was personalized to us really meant a lot to us and our families. Both our families mentioned how wonderful our officiant was, and we couldn't agree more. Very friendly, warm, and calm. Highly recommend Dusty's services!

    Fantastic Experience with Dusty as Our Officiant

    We had the pleasure of having Dusty as our officiant for our Santa Barbara Courthouse wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the very beginning, Dusty was incredibly helpful, guiding us through every step of the process with ease and professionalism. He made our special day truly unforgettable with his warm and personable approach. We highly recommend hiring Dusty as your officiant—he will undoubtedly make your day as wonderful as ours!

    The perfect man for the moment.

    When we decided to have Dusty as the officiant for our wedding, we knew immediately it was the right choice. His focus on the lead up to the wedding was always on making our day perfect. From the flow of the ceremony, helping us with our vows, and guiding us through the different parts of how our ceremony would go. He was determined to make sure our day was the most magical moment it could be.

    The day of the wedding, was where he really shined. There were so many personal....memorable moments in our wedding where we were emotional, and he was a helpful, compassionate, and anchoring presence. We can truly say, there was not a better...

    Simply perfect

    My wife and I are so grateful to Dusty. He was extremely easy to work with. He was helpful in every way. He asked all the right questions and wrote a wedding script that perfectly reflected or feelings and personalities. Dusty had a great demeanor and was sharply dressed for the occasion. We were so lucky to find him.

    Thank you Dusty

    We recently had the pleasure of having Dusty as our wedding officiant. Dusty took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand our unique story. He was interested in learning about our relationship, our values, and what we wanted to convey during our wedding ceremony. He was careful to accommodate the ceremony so that it was special and reflective of who we are as a couple.

    Dusty was professional and warm. He ensured that all the legalities and paperwork were taken care of seamlessly and meticulously explained how our Witness should also capture her details. Dusty has a calming presence (which we needed on that day as we were a bit frazzled).

    Mr John Hamilton

    We switched to Dusty at last minute per wife's request. Dusty was very professional and literally at last minute I made a couple last minute request and he accommodated the request no problem and worked it in to the ceremony perfectly. I was most impressed with how organized he was and took so much attention to detail in his work. Couldn't have asked for a better person to marry the woman I wanted a life for and to spend a lifetime with. Thanks so much Dusty you will always be a part of us.

    Highly Recommended!

    In the beginning of planning for our wedding, Dusty was helpful in guiding us and providing us with material to compose our ceremony timeline and vows. He was extremely helpful during the wedding rehearsal with great tips for a smooth ceremony. The ceremony itself was the top favorite memory for us--thank you Dusty for your professionalism, friendly nature and excellent facilitation of our love rituals!

    Dusty Has It All

    Dusty is amazing! He's eminently professional, yet kind, warm and human. He helped us plan every detail of the ceremony, yet made the moment itself feel spontaneous, free, and beautiful. Numerous friends and family commented specifically on the quality of Dusty's poise and performance. If you're looking for a celebrant/officiant who can make you laugh and cry—and, most importantly, make you married—then Dusty is your man.

    An Amazing Officiant for an Amazing Wedding

    We found Dusty through Wedding Wire and we are so happy that we did! Dusty exceeded our expectations. He was so prompt in responding to our emails, and we had phone conversations with him multiple times as he got to know us better during the coming months of our wedding. We could not have done this without him, he gave us excellent feedback throughout the planning of our ceremony and with his suggestions, he made it all feel easy. I'm a big worrier and it was so wonderful to not have to worry about our wedding officiant because Dusty really knows his stuff. He is very kind, professional, and informative as well as goes above and beyond to make...

    The Perfect Officiant!

    Dusty did an amazing job officiating our wedding ceremony. He was so easy to work with and truly put us at ease as soon as we met with him. He offered great suggestions while helping us stay true to our vision. We also really appreciated that he fit us in although he already had a wedding scheduled later that day, and never once did he seem to be in a hurry. He was fully present and truly seemed to enjoy officiating our wedding. Thank you Dusty!

    Dusty is awesome!!!

    We found Dusty on a whim while searching for officiants for our wedding and we couldn't be happier that we found him. He was the perfect fit for us, young, hip, flexible, local, and affordable... and so dang nice. He gave us a couple of different options for our ceremony. We knew we wanted to keep it short and sweet and his basic ceremony sample was perfect. He gave us the option to change it as much as we wanted but there was no need to it was perfect and said everything we wanted to say. All we added was a few short/funny vows to make it personal and it was as easy as that. He was very easy...

    Beautifully Personal

    Words can not describe how amazing Dusty made our ceremony. It was very important to grandparents for our wedding have Jewish elements in it and he did a wonderful job incorporating some Jewish Traditions in our not very religious ceremony.
    Dusty also took time out of his busy wedding summer to meet with my husband and I. He helped us write our vows. At first the idea of someone I never met marrying us seemed a little impersonal, but getting to know Dusty, having him meet with us, made all the difference. It was beautiful and there truly wasn't a dry eye in the house.
