    Everything was on POINT!

    We decided we wanted to get married in less than 25hours! We found Rev. DiAnna, she was able to get everything organized for us and showed up at the restaurant where we got married on time and met everyone and our boys. I felt like she had superpowers to make my 3 years old boy listened to everything she said. She’s funny, witty and super easy going. She personality made our short and sweet marriage went smooth and memorable ! Thank you of course couldn’t have done it without you. I would totally recommend her to anyone I know.

    It was absolutely amazing to have DiAnna be part of our special day. Stefano and I felt like we had known her for years and that she captured exactly the things about our relationship that meant the most to us. She was very inclusive and was happy to deliver part of the ceremony in Italian so that Stef's mum felt included and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism. No hesitation in recommending DiAnna to anybody. All the best, Debra

    The most amazing officiant

    Our original officiant backed out and we were looking for a non-denominational wedding officiant. I loved Rev DiAnna’s website, she is such a bright light and she got right back to us to have a phone call to see if we all were a right fit to work together. She was amazing, she helped us create our own customized ceremony from start to finish including adding a ring warming ceremony which she was already familiar with even though a lot of people I mentioned it to didn’t know about them. We worked through phone calls and emails, she worked with our schedules and always treated us as if we were her only couple she needed to focus on. So many of our friends complimented us on our ceremony and looking back, that was still the most important and beautiful part of our wedding (yes, I cried through the whole ceremony). Thank you DiAnna for making our day so perfectly “us” and helping us have the perfect unique ceremony we were looking for!

    Fun & Quirky, Sentimental & Lovely

    DiAnna was amazing as the officiant for our wedding. Throughout the process she asked questions to make it the most personal ceremony we possibly could have imagined. We wanted a sense of fun, community, sentimentality, and family and we got all of that! We spent the ceremony laughing and crying and laughing again. We had people tell us afterwards that it was one of the most fun weddings they had ever attended and DiAnna certainly helped us keep it light hearted, and yet still deeply meaningful to us. We really could never have asked for a better person to guide us through this special day.

    DiAnna was hands down the perfect person to conduct our wedding! She was the ideal recipe of warmth, fun and professionalism to keep us sane on a day that felt overwhelming and our of our control. My husband and i were blessed to have found DiAnna who did a great job taking the time to get to know us and our preferences, and ensure that the ceremony was tailored to our specific needs, which I found extremely stress-free on the day of. At the end of it all, we were left with hearts full of love, laughter and amazing photos - all thanks to DiAnna and Michele. Thanks ladies for making our special day absolutely perfect for us <3

    Rev. DiAnna was simply wonderful. My husband and I really valued the brief yet meaningful ceremony she did for our wedding. We loved her professionalism, kindness and just overall flexibility that one day we would love for her to baptize our future children!

    Before I chose DiAnna, I researched many different officiant's. Honestly her profile stood out to me the most specifically because she is very open minded and fun! Once I spoke to her on the phone I felt like I clicked with her immediately, she has one of those personalities that can get along with anyone. She was very easy to talk to and helped me through the entire process so gracefully. She and I kept In touch up until the day of and I am so grateful for that. On the day of She exceeded my expectations and was honestly everything I could've ever wished for in an officiant. She was funny, kind, and her energy was amazing! All of my guests kept saying that I picked a perfect person to marry us and a few of my guests even asked for her number as they stated they want her to marry them as well. Honestly I highly highly highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed I guarantee!

    As promised, Rev. DiAnna delivered a tailored ceremony for my husband and I and we LOVED it. Although we were having a destination wedding, we were able to meet with DiAnna a few days before at a coffee house. We knew at that time that we had made the right choice! Tears were had by all (including us!) during the lovely ceremony. Very professional, low stress. 10/10!

    DiAnna is WONDERFUL! She was extremely responsive, flexible, and patient with us as we were designing the ceremony, and she offered plenty of suggestions. More importantly, we felt completely comfortable with her from the beginning. We didn't meet in person until the day of the wedding, but it didn't feel that way! She truly brings about a joyous energy.

    We are so glad we chose DiAnna to be our officiant! She was so personable and easy to talk to throughout the whole process, and she put together such a personal and beautiful ceremony for us that you'd think she had known us both for much longer than she really did! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a laid back, professional, funny, and sweet officiant!

    DiAnna was everything that we could have hoped for, and more. She was incredible to work with leading up to the ceremony as she helped us to craft our special day. DiAnna created an atmosphere of love and community, with perfect dashes of humor to keep things light when needed. When rain started to pour down right before our wedding, DiAnna made sure that a last-minute location change under cover made for a beautiful ceremony without any stress on our part. Many of our guests commented afterwards how amazing she was in making that transition and the way that she captured each of our personalities in the service. DiAnna helped us to shine for one another in the best way possible. She is simply a wonderful officiant and person, and we highly recommend her.

    DiAnna was a great choice for our elopement at the Biltmore in Asheville. She was very communicative and had a great questionnaire to get to know both of us a little better. She took all of my edits and editions to our texts and turned them into a beautiful ceremony.

    Rev. DiAnna was a pleasure to work with and really took the stress out of our day. We debated hiring a day-of coordinator, but she assured us that with the help of family and the venue, she would have it covered. And she was right! She did a great job gathering and directing the entire wedding party, and added a very nice personal touch to our wedding. It was exactly how we imagined it, and it couldn't have gone any smoother. Thank you, DiAnna!

    DiAnna could not have been a more perfect choice to be our wedding officiant. The moment we met her, we could feel her positivity and zest for life. She is a true blessing to anyone who crosses her path. We are forever thankful to Meghan Rolfe, our photographer/coordinator, for setting us up with DiAnna. Not only did we have the best officiant for us, but a new friend for life.

    DiAnna took the time to meet us for coffee. The rapport was instant... She was personable, compassionate and forthrightly invested in making our "Big Day" special. She supplied us with ample ceremonial options, including several lovely readings. She took care of everything, so that we could focus on each other, during our ceremony... as it should be :)

    DiAnna was everything we could have hoped for and more in an officiant! She was always flexible with our crazy schedules, nonjudgmental, and made our ceremony so personal and honestly just perfect. DiAnna gave us recommendations where we needed them and let us decide on everything and anything we wanted. So many of our guests commented on how wonderful she was. My husband and I had an interfaith ceremony and this did not phase DiAnna one bit. She had wonderful recommendations on how to meld our two faiths. We couldn't recommend her more! Thanks so much DiAnna!

    DiAnna was nothing short of EVERYTHING I was looking for in a wedding officiant. She is professional, incredibly personable, and flexible. We had a face-to-face meeting and it was an absolute pleasure. My husband and I hit it off with DiAnna almost immediately, and knew she was the one for us. We adored her sense of humor and received so much respect and gracefulness from her. We continue to receive many compliments on our ceremony.

    Our ceremony created by Reverend DiAnna was a true highlight of our wedding. The Reverend crafted a unique, funny, and engaging ceremony for us. We immediately clicked with Reverend DiAnna the first time we Skyped with her. She really listened to our preferences and dislikes. My family is Jewish and my husband's family is Southern Baptist, so we needed a ceremony that was non-denominational but still meaningful; the Reverend struck the perfect balance and all sides were pleased. We were immensely impressed with Reverend DiAnna and absolutely would recommend her to anyone!

    DiAnna was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I planned our elopement with her from out of state, but we never felt very far away from DiAnna at all! DiAnna skyped with us, emailed us, and was always very quick to respond with any questions we had about our elopement. She took the ideas, sentiments & hopes that we had for our special day and wove them into a beautiful ceremony. Her reading was very thoughtfully crafted and really highlighted what my husband and I honor and love about one another. DiAnna was incredibly accommodating. Our wedding day was a rainy and chilly one, and she was flexible as we decided to change the setting in which we planned to say our vows. We have shared her ceremony with our family and they echo our thoughts & feelings. If we are ever going to renew our vows in the area, we will immediately seek her out!! We cannot say enough wonderful things about DiAnna & highly recommend her.

    Rev. DiAnna was simply perfect! We booked her without meeting but our first phone call left me giggling and smiling even after we hung up and I knew it would work! She guided us through the whole process, wrote a personalized ceremony, and made us feel so comfortable. Our guests couldn't believe that we hadn't known her more than 3 months! She felt like family the instant she walked into the room and I wish I would have asked her to stay for a glass of wine and dancing! Thank you for a seamless and heartfelt ceremony and for fixing my veil for the sake of our pictures! Cheers! xx

    She is the absolute best! Personalized the entire ceremony to my husband and myself in a beautiful, creative, and loving way! If you want a special ceremony centered on you, your partner, and based on love- then DiAnna is your dream officiate. Could not have dreamed of anyone else!
