Meet your Wedding Officiant from Dynamic Weddings. My job is to help you achieve your dream as your Vancouver Wedding Officiant. Your wedding dream can now come true. I'm excited to meet you and hear all about the proposal. First, let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I'm Dennis Bellia, owner of Dynamic Weddings. I'm excited to serve you as your Wedding Officiant. I absolutely LOVE weddings. I started in the industry in the 1990's. Back then, I noticed the officiants and knew I could really offer a lot to a wedding ceremony. It wasn't the right time but I kept close eye and took notes. I've worked over 1,000 weddings as a DJ, MC, Photographer, Videographer, Wedding Planner, Day of Coordinator, Photo Booth attendant and now Officiant. Yes, I really have seen and done it all.
Having extensive wedding and public speaking experience I'm confident that as your officiant, I will support you to prepare, relax and enjoy the moment. It's your day to take it all in. I've got your back! ​ Wedding Planning and Day of Coordination came naturally to me as well. My logistical skills are incredibly strong so structuring your wedding ceremony and/or reception really comes easily to me. I've put out more fires at weddings than you can ever imagine and I loved every minute of it.
Combine our Officiant service with our other professional 5 star rated and award winning services for a truly one stop shop including:
Photography
Videography
DJ
MC
Event Planning

Fun group of people that are accommodating and really know how to help make your day special!
We are very happy with Dynamic Weddings and all of the services that they provided us! We worked with Dennis directly as our day-of-coordinator to put together our itineraries, and his experience in coordinating weddings was evident from his attention to detail with all of the little quirks we wanted for our wedding. He also was our MC, which helped with keeping the day on track because he was already so familiar with our itinerary and it relieved us of a lot of stress. He really took the time to get to know us during our meetings and it showed whenever he was on the mic, because he spoke in a way that reflected what we wanted in our wedding day - to embrace all of the love and special moments of the day. It's great that he was able to take on both roles for us!
His photographers and videographer were awesome and we had a great time having them shoot for us. Lara, who did our engagement shoot at Lighthouse Park, was quick to find all the right spots with beautiful lighting. We loved our engagement photos! You could tell that she understood some couples can feel awkward during these shoots, but she made our time together feel light and comfortable. During our shoot along River District before the reception, she even got into the water to capture the perfect angle - commitment! When we had our photoshoot with our bridal party, Rafael knew exactly what kind of shots we were looking for and was able to capture them perfectly. When we had trouble trying to get into some poses we wanted, he stepped in to guide us. We wouldn't have looked as good without his guidance. Lastly, Doug did an amazing job capturing video footage of the whole day. He somehow managed to maneuver around everybody and everything to get really cool footage that we enjoyed watching in our wedding videos. It's clear that Doug is skilled in his craft and will do what it takes to capture memories with the same impact as when they first happened.
All in all, Dynamic Weddings truly helped us to have some of the most unforgettable moments of our lives, and we're so thankful for that!
Dynamic Weddings - Photography's reply:
Hi Anthony, Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. I really appreciate it. I'm so glad that you picked up on so many great moments from your day and that all of our collective team efforts made such a large impact on your day. This was a special one for me (Dennis) as I was not only your Wedding Planner, but also your Day of Coordinator AND your MC! I was able to work with you through the planning process and discussing various options and planned your two day wedding celebration including surprising your bridal party with the actual wedding when they thought they were doing a scavenger hunt. Epic! It was a big task and you pulled it off. The reception was amazing and such great food and service from Riverway. Loved the live performances and personal touches. We were also pleased with the photos and videos and how awesome everything turned out. Congrats and thanks for trusting in us and for writing this great review.

Wedding Photos
The photographer we had with Dynamic Wedding was amazing! She knows exactly how to guide us on taking our picture as we both are unsure of ourselves when it comes to having our picture taken and she was a wonderful director. We hired her to do our wedding photos and they turn our very beautiful.

Phenomenal!
Dennis from Dynamic Weddings was our planner, day-of coordinator, and officiant for our small wedding of about 30 guests. The planning process with him was more than valuable as he brought up many things we had not even thought of, and as a result we felt much calmer about organizing our day. The wedding day went smoothly and everything was under control - he was great with some last minute changes and with handling our guests in a friendly and professional manner. Dennis was also wonderful as our officiant - he had great presence and really made our ceremony personal and special. Furthermore, we had the best photographer! Lara was incredible - she was firm and friendly in her direction. We loved that we never had to guess on how and where to pose! She was personable and we were comfortable to be ourselves with her right away. She was also fantastic with the young kids. The experience was phenomenal and we highly recommend Dynamic Weddings!

Awesome photos
I was a person who originally didn't want to have a wedding, I was content on just going to a courthouse or something. When I saw that option wasn't as easy as I was expecting I began looking at elopements, and found Dynamic Weddings. Just from looking at their website I knew them to be a perfect match. So we contacted them and everything was so much easier than I expected. I wasn't a fan of weddings because I've seen the stress of planning and making things happen, but Dennis helped to make it all so easy. With us not even knowing a location to do the elopement, Dennis found an absolute perfect spot that fit us perfectly without him even knowing it! Leading up to the wedding was stress-free on my part and the day of everything with beautifully. I liked the fact too that there was a chance of rain, another option was given to us as a back up, but thankfully there wasn't a cloud in the sky once the time came. Dennis was very kind and helped run things absolutely flawless, the photographer and videographer were fun to work with and did an absolute amazing job with everything. I'm so thankful I went with Dynamic Weddings for my special day because they were the ones that truly made it magical.

Amazing Photographer!
We picked a small elopement package through Dynamic Weddings. My partner and I are both fairly introverted, and the thought of a huge wedding with so many people taking months/years to plan plus thousands of dollars and so much stress did not seem appealing to us at all. In fact, I was just told a story by my aunt (a photographer) who said her bride was so stressed she made herself sick for three months straight following the ceremony!
So, we went small and simple. Dennis made everything so wonderfully easy, and stress free. When it came to the day of the wedding, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect occasion. The weather was perfect, everyone was there *exactly* when they needed to be, and it was the happiest, laid-back, stress-free day of our lives. Dynamic Weddings helped us focus on ourselves, and the family and friends we wished to share our special occasion, while they took care of all the rest. I couldn't be happier with our choice.
The photographer was A+++++ in my book! He was wonderful, personable, and made us both feel very comfortable. I normally *hate* pictures but he actually made me feel excited for them!
Thank you again, everyone at Dynamic. Our day was truly perfect because of you!

In love with our Photos!
We can't recommend Dynamic Weddings enough. My husband and I planned an elopement with Dynamic Weddings. We are both not too big on photos and posing, but the photographer was so amazing. He helped guide us, he made us feel comfortable, listened to our visions, and we had a good time walking around Van Dusen gardens taking photos with him and chit-chatting. We are stunned at how the photos turned out!

Very professional photographer with tons of experience
The photographer of our wedding and engagement shoot was very professional. We had fun doing our poses without having to stress on what to pose next, everything came in natural.

Photographer perfectly captured our big day
It was an absolute pleasure working with Dennis at Dynamic Weddings. From our initial meeting all the way up to the wedding day. Dennis was there to help us figure out any kinks in our schedule and share his wisdom and experience with us when figuring out our big day. Great communication, excellent service, and quality results! We couldn't have been happier and would definitely recommend all of Dynamic Wedding's services!
Photography - The photographer was amazing and captured so many special moments throughout our big day. He coordinated our large group of groomsmen and bridesmaids to create excellent pictures. It's nice to have someone who knows all the perfect poses and shots to take and to help us look our best. He also caught many candid shots of various guests and ourselves that were a fantastic surprise when we received our photos. We'll cherish these photos forever.

Great experience
We had a great experience. Coming from the U.S. to elope in Vancouver on very short notice, we weren't sure how or where we would hold our wedding but Dennis and his team at Dynamic Weddings were very helpful. He helped us find a great location in Stanley Park and everything worked out perfectly. Thank you!
