I can not say enough good things when it comes to Darlene and everything she did to make our wedding amazing. We had a lot of changes and rearranging as Covid restrictions unfolded. We ended up having to do two ceremonies in the same day; she was super flexible, safe and Was even willing to play along with our wild antics; willing to preform ceremony as an inflatable T-Rex but that was the brides second ceremony outfit. She wrote our ceremony based on who she saw us as upon meeting us and it was perfect and personal. Could not have asked for a better soul to make our special day just that much better! Forever grateful!

Beautiful and Soulful- Professional and Kind
Darlene is such an amazing person and officiant. She really is a wonderful professional who puts the added personalization to your wedding ceremony to make it special and not just the same like many "I do" ceremonies. She was helpful and put us at ease. Can't refer her enough!

We Highly recommend !
We loved our ceremony. We asked for something very casual and short, which Darlene respected and gave us exactly what we wanted. Very nice and responsive! Our dogs barked at Darlene during the ceremony, which made everyone laugh! We had a great time and would do the same type of ceremony over and over again!

Not Recommended
Darlene is personable and very friendly upon meeting and speaking with over the phone, however.... I am very disappointed with her professionalism and services.
Darlene did not show up for the rehearsal and only called to inform me that she would not be showing up at 3:58 when she was to scheduled for our rehearsal at 4:00pm!
Darlene did not follow the order of services correctly and forgot to seal our marriage with a kiss and instead had us sign the marriage license first. Then when it came time to announce us as a couple she announced us as “Mr & Mrs Calling” our last name is Couling pronounced COOLING. We went through pronounciation....
Anyways, don’t waste your time and ruin your ceremony with this one. We got our outcome, we are married..., but what a stressful mix up of events.
