    Excellent Officiant, Look no further

    We wanted our ceremony to not be cookie-cutter, like many weddings. So we did some research and decided on Danny, and to say we were satisfied with that decision is an understatement.

    He really went above and beyond to make our ceremony very personalized to us and our relationship, with a perfect humorous touch. Our guests and us loved and appreciated the entire ceremony. Danny was great to work with, and his experience as a wedding officiant really showed throughout the entire process. We don’t know if anybody could have done it any better!

    Danny made our wedding ceremony a very positive and memorable experience. We HIGHLY recommend Danny as a wedding officiant!

    Wonderful Ceremony

    Danny was so professional and puts a lot of work into making your day perfect! We had a beautiful heartfelt ceremony because of him. He takes the time to learn both of you and then turns it into a magical ceremony. We had so many people compliment on how wonderful the words he was. Thank you Danny for making our special day wonderful!

    Custom Ceremony

    Danny is truly gifted at personalizing wedding ceremonies. During the planning process, Danny hosted two zoom calls with us which really helped to get the day and the timeline organized. He patiently listened to our questions and offered advice with his infectious smile. Our ceremony was nothing short of perfect. He nailed every aspect of our relationship from the very beginning to the present. We asked for a fun, light, uplifting and non-religious ceremony and that is exactly what we got! I would highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a kind, caring and professional officiant!

    Officiant Danny was amazing!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. At every step of the way, Danny was professional, responsive, and truly took the time and effort to get to know our story as a couple. His thoughtfulness and dedication led to a heartfelt, personalized ceremony that perfectly represented us and is something that we and our loved ones will forever cherish. He also left us with the written version of our ceremony as a keepsake that allows us to continuously relive our special day. If you’re in Asheville or the surrounding areas, we highly, highly recommend booking Danny as your officiant!

    Danny is great!

    Danny was the officiant for our wedding and we would recommend him 10x over! He is extremely experienced and knows exactly how to craft the perfect ceremony. We originally wanted Jamie's uncle PJ to be our officiant, but the laws in North Carolina made that a little tricky. We found Danny through his website and he did an incredible job bringing our vision to life, including a wonderful speaking part allowing PJ to still be part of it. He had a great list of ceremony elements for us to pick from and we ended up choosing multiple we wouldn't have thought of on our own, including a wedding time capsule that exemplifies our shared love of travel and a "warming of the rings" portion that was perfect for our intimate ceremony. We were able to meet with him in person on our first trip to Asheville and it felt like we already knew him by the time the wedding came around. Through the detailed questionnaires he has the couple fill out independently, he wrote a beautiful ceremony that told our love story so well. He even gave us a keepsake binder with the full transcript of our ceremony, which will be so nice to look back on. We really can't thank him enough! If you're in need of a wedding officiant, Danny is your guy!

    Incredible officiant and ceremony

    Danny really created the most special ceremony with us. We also hired him last minute and he still had us get everything done and helped us create the best and most important part of our whole day. People couldn't stop talking about the ceremony and how amazing it was. His process and questionnaire really helped us write the incredible vows that we had. Additionally, it was fun to work with him and bounce off ideas. He was flexible and very communicative.

    Best of the Best

    Danny was the perfect officiant for us. He really got to know both of us and was able to put together a ceremony that was exactly what we wanted. He took what he learned about us and presented our love story to our guests. After our ceremony, the guests kept asking where we found Danny and repeatedly told us how much they loved the way he told our story. Danny was very responsive and put us at ease by telling us step-by-step what we needed to do for the ceremony. It was evident from our first email that Danny is a professional and only wanted to help make our day perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and we are thankful we found Officiant Danny!

    Made The Day

    Danny put together a great ceremony for us and adjusted well when we forgot to get a microphone set up for him. Everyone talked about how great and personal his ceremony for us was. 10/10 recommend, worth every penny!

    First Class Officiant

    If you’re searching for an officiant, you can stop now. Rest assured, you have found the one. Danny is a first class act. He is extremely easy to work with, passionate, professional, responsive, and walks you through the entire process from start to finish. Our wedding ceremony was amazing with Danny at the helm. He involved the perfect balance of seriousness, humor, warmth, and love in our ceremony that truly made it second to none. Many of our guests commented how they had never heard a ceremony as meaningful or as moving as ours. So thank you Danny, you made our wedding day an extremely memorable and special one!

    Asheville Wedding with Danny

    We can't say enough great things about Danny. He incorporated multiple great traditions, entertained the wedding, and made it as personal as if he knew us for years. He's a great speaker and our guest complemented him much as well.

    Amazing! Went above and beyond our expectations!

    I don’t know where to start! Danny Lewis is amazing! He made our ceremony so personal to us and told our love story in such a beautiful way. He gave us our ceremony booklet as a keep sake which is just so nice and special! If you are looking for an officiant don’t hesitate to hire him. You will not regret it!

    Officially Amazing

    Danny truly went above and beyond. I did not expect to have so many laughs and memories shared amongst myself, my husband, and the guests. I truly thank him for bringing our story together and allowing the moment to stay within everyone’s minds long after we left the mountains.

    Best Officiant Ever

    Danny's level of effort in creating the perfect wedding ceremony was phenomenal. He went above and beyond in crafting an unforgettable wedding, and we had multiple guests tell us after the ceremony that they'd never been to a better wedding ceremony. Danny was instrumental in achieving that kind of response. In fact, my father (father of the bride) was giving the dinner prayer after the ceremony, and told Danny he was going to be one hell of an act to have to follow. Can't recommend Danny enough! You won't be disappointed!

    Officiant Danny is amazing!

    My now wife asked me to find the officiant for our wedding. I spent a lot of time looking at various officiants/pastors/etc. looking for the right fit. As soon as I found Officiant Danny's page, I knew he was the right fit. His warmth, passion, and joy for the occasion was clear from the first time we communicated. He was helpful, flexible, and made sure to make a ceremony that was perfect for my wife and I. I cannot recommend him enough, and I have no doubt that he will be perfect for anyone's wedding, and that he will make everyone feel the love of the occasion. I'd rate him an 11 out of 10 if I could!

    He's the one!

    just nowNEW
    Look no further because he's the Officiant anyone and everyone needs. Danny goes above and beyond anyone's expectations of a wedding. He took his time to personalize a sweet and simple elopement and made it so much more special than we could have imagined. He really takes the time to get to know you, your spouse and your love story and incorporates that into your wedding. I've had several compliments from the guests who were invited that he did such an amazing job and I couldn't agree more. Thank you for everything, Danny!!

    A Beautiful Ceremony

    When finding an officiant, I really wanted to find someone who meshed with my husband & I. I wanted to find someone who truly knew how to captivate an audience. Danny and I had our first phone call and within that first call, I cried thru half of it. Not just because of how emotional your big day is, but because of how he spoke, how he talked about love and most importantly how he wanted others to feel about love. I knew right there and then that we had to hire him. Leading up to the wedding he made everything very easy and enjoyable. Day of-we met and it was as if we knew him for a lifetime. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. I cried probably the entire time and even my husband had cried! (We’ve been together for 8 years and I have only seen this man cry once because his grandfather died) Danny did an exceptional job. It was different, it was moving and it checked off every box. I had grown men come up to me later on saying that they cried, which to me, means Danny crushed it. You can tell him what your goal is for your ceremony. Whether that’s being funny, touching, etc. he can cater to whatever you want. We specifically wanted everyone to be wrapped up in the emotions and he delivered. Thank you Danny for such a wonderful day. It was everything we wanted and more. I would highly recommend hiring him because I can assure you, you’ll make the right choice!

    So much more

    Danny was simply a pros pro! He took our simple ceremony and made it more memorable than either of our prior marriages. We have not stopped thinking and being aware that Danny created a special time for us. To say we highly recommend his involvement in your special day is an understatement!! Thanks again Danny, kind regards, Jim & Lesa.

    Danny is a true professional and a wonderful officiant

    Danny did a wonderful job creating a wedding ceremony that was warm and charming, with some humor and lots of love. Our families all remarked about how wonderful the ceremony was. Danny helped us decide on a unity ritual that worked for us and was unique to us. Our wedding day was hot, really hot! Danny was incredibly professional and acted like he wasn't standing in a full suit, in the blazing sun, sweating his butt off! I can't say the rest of us were as good at hiding the heat. We would recommend Danny anytime!!

    Officiant Danny's reply:

    Hi Michelle,

    When I finished your ceremony I said to myself… This is why I do this work, to be able to work with great couples like Michelle and Steve! It was a joy. No… the heat was certainly not a joy, that’s for sure, but your love for each other and the good vibes from your friends ruled the day! Wishing you both much love and much happiness!

    Absolutely perfect

    Danny officiated our wedding and it was absolutely perfect! He really took the time to get to know us and added an amazing personal touch. He was always there responding to questions I had no matter the time of day. I got so many compliments at our wedding about what a great speaker he was. I would definitely recommend him for anyone. He made our day perfect!

    Officiant Danny's reply:

    Kristen – this was my first time officiating at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens and I can see why you chose the venue; it’s filled with so much natural beauty. I loved re-telling your love story in your wedding ceremony and presiding over your marriage. I know your big day was a long-time coming, and I’m honored you chose me to be a part of it. It was indeed, the perfect day. Wishing you, Adam and your son a lifetime of happiness.

    Perfect, Adventurous Ceremony

    Danny gave us the perfect ceremony. We eloped on a mountain trail on NYE! He was very professional, friendly, and really cared to create the perfect ceremony for us.

    Officiant Danny's reply:

    Hannah - the beautiful spot you and Logan chose in Blowing Rock was worth the hike and the perfect setting to see you two cross the threshold from your engagement to marriage! I'm so happy I got to officiate your wedding. You and Logan are a great couple with all the foundational elements for a long, healthy and happy marriage. You two have a beautiful love story with the ending nowhere in sight! All my best to you both!

    Amazing Officiant

    Danny is amazing! Not only did he save our elopement by stepping in a week before the big day after our original officiant canceled on us, but he wrote the most wonderful ceremony! Not only was it personal but it was beautiful, lighthearted, and funny as well. He made our day perfect and put everything we felt towards each other into words. We could not have asked for a better person. He's quick to respond, and cares about your vision for your ceremony. We cannot recommend him enough!!

    Officiant Danny's reply:

    Dana – Black Balsam Knob is one of the great outdoor locations in the Asheville area to get married and I was delighted you and Jon chose me to write and officiate your ceremony. A joy meeting you both, and a joy presiding over your celebration of love, friendship and commitment. So glad your family members could attend, who clearly were filled with much joy seeing you two get married. May all good things in life be yours!

    Beautiful and Magical!

    Danny was amazing!!!
    Because of Covid-19 we did a Zoom chat and right away I knew he was the right person to marry us.
    After we completed a questionnaire, we Zoomed again with Danny, covering all the details of our ceremony. He then wrote a custom ceremony to reflect our love for each other and our journey together. The ceremony he performed on our wedding day was just beautiful. Danny’s warmth and sense of humor brought many smiles and warmed our hearts.
    Family and friends said it was one of the best weddings they ever attended.
    I highly recommend Danny!

    Officiant Danny's reply:

    Thank you Cassie! It was a joy and honor to perform your and William’s ceremony on your special day!

    Authentic and heart-felt ceremony experience

    Danny is a wonderful officiant, who brought joy sincerity and laughter to our ceremony. My wife and I wanted an elopement ceremony - something short and sweet. We were so overjoyed by the experience with Danny, from the initial consultation to the ceremony itself. His warmth and sincerity shone through to us both, making it so easy to trust in him and what he created for us. He balanced so masterfully the gravity of a ceremony like marriage with the playfulness and lightheartedness that helped put us at ease. Highly highly recommend for any couple seeking an authentic and intentionally created nuptial process.

    Couldn’t be happier

    Danny was such a pleasure to work with. He really puts all he can into making a ceremony personal, and perfect. He did better than I could expect, and I’ll never forget it. He really does go beyond. 100% could t recommend enough 10/10.
