    Highly Recommend Dearly Beloved

    We really enjoyed working with Joel from Dearly Beloved. From our first conversation, he was warm and attentive, making sure he understood exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. Joel let us review different versions of the ceremony material so we could feel confident about every word, and he was adaptable when we needed to make changes or wanted his suggestions. He responded quickly to our questions and truly cared about making our day special. The ceremony was exceptional and felt completely personal to us. We would definitely recommend Dearly Beloved to any couple looking for an officiant who listens and delivers.

    Amazing !

    Joel was awesome for our wedding this past March. All we wanted was a short and sweet ceremony that felt like us, and he delivered! He was very communicative during planning and gave us several options of how we wanted the ceremony to go. He made sure to make it personal to us while adding a couple fun touches such as an officiant selfie! Overall we’d highly recommend him.

    Amazing!!!

    I booked Joel from Dearly Beloved just one month before my wedding after realizing I'd completely forgotten to find an officiant. He got back to me right away and walked me through his different packages, then confirmed he could work with our date. Joel asked us a few simple questions and created a ceremony script that perfectly captured our relationship and story. On the wedding day, he showed up on time, stayed professional throughout despite our rainy outdoor wedding ,and delivered the ceremony flawlessly. His work was beautiful and exactly what we needed, and honestly we couldn't have pulled off our special day without him. I'd recommend Joel to any couple looking for an officiant who actually listens and cares about making your ceremony feel personal.

    Best Day Ever

    Having Dearly Beloved officiate our wedding was the best decision we could have made. Joel was tireless in his efforts to provide us with the most special ceremony, perfectly tailored to us and our specific requests. Incredibly thoughtful, kind, and helpful, we couldn’t have asked for a better start to our special day than the one Joel provided for us.
