“We cannot recommend Deanna Lancaster enough—every positive review we read before booking her was absolutely true.
We met with Deanna once before our ceremony to get to know each other, and from the very beginning she was incredibly kind, sweet, and personable. Throughout the planning process, she was flexible and understanding, especially when we had to reschedule meetings a few times due to emergencies. She never made us feel rushed or stressed—only supported.
Deanna provides ceremony templates that you can mix and match to truly reflect what feels right for you as a couple. We chose to customize ours and write our own vows, and she thoughtfully reviewed both my vows and my husband’s separately via email. She worked with us through multiple revisions of the ceremony draft, always offering guidance with care and empathy.
On the wedding day itself, Deanna was a calming presence during what could have been a very chaotic day. She truly stepped up when our day-of coordinator was unexpectedly MIA during the rehearsal the day before the wedding. After the ceremony, she stayed with me for a while, reassuring me that our guests were having a great time—even though it was cold and raining. She never rushed, remained patient and kind through everything, and radiated warmth with her bubbly, empathetic personality and infectious smile.
As a final, incredibly thoughtful touch, she even gave us the sweetest wedding gift.
If you are looking for an officiant who is professional, compassionate, flexible, and genuinely cares about your experience, Deanna is it. We would recommend her without hesitation.”
