"When I was planning my wedding, there was only one choice for who would officiate the ceremony on my most special day. I had the pleasure of forging a strong friendship with Dorie for years, knowing her to be a loyal confidant, a smart and clever problem solver, an adventure-seeker, the embodiment of joy and ease and a friend as dear to me as a sister. She brought me so much comfort on my wedding day and led with sincerity and heart. Her presence and connection is also felt by those who do not happen to know her, as she has never met a stranger. Dorie helped me savor each moment on a whirlwind of a day and execute exactly what I envisioned. It was a day I'll never forget."

There isn't anything sweeter than getting to know a couple, having them share their story with me, observing them interact with one another and then presenting the story and their vows to them in front of their family and friends.

I have enjoyed marrying strangers as much as couples I have known for years.

 “We can’t recommend Dorie enough as an officiant. She has an innate ability to quickly and deeply connect with people. Because of this, she was able to guide us through the most intimate, memorable, and moving ceremony that will leave us with unforgettable memories of our special day. She has the ability to serve as a mirror to the love that stands in front of her; every one involved in our ceremony could feel our love because her ability to radiate what is around her. She has a gift and it will only enhance your ceremony in so many personal ways. Where there is love and light, she will bring it out.”
