Rev. Dave has such a great, social personality that we appreciated having for our ceremony. He finds ways to involve the guests in the ceremony, cracks jokes, tell our story, and make it such a meaningful ceremony for us and guests alike. There were a lot of tears shed during the ceremony (and not just from those of us up at the front). We had many of our guests tell us how great he was afterwards. Rev. Dave puts in a lot of care to making the ceremony special, including lots of time dedicated to the couple to learn more about them as well as running the rehearsal, making sure everyone does a great job for the day of. My husband and I really appreciated not having to worry about any ceremony logistics as Rev. Dave had everything in his hands!

We feel so lucky to have had Reverend Phil as our officiant—he truly made our outdoor ceremony not only beautiful and memorable, but deeply meaningful. He brought the perfect balance of a religious tone with warmth and sincerity, creating an atmosphere that felt so personal and reflective of us as a couple. Every part of the ceremony was incredibly intentional. Reverend Phil involved us throughout the entire process, from approving the full script to holding a rehearsal on the grounds to ensure everything would go smoothly. He didn’t just officiate—he genuinely acted as a ceremony coordinator, stepping in when needed (including when the wind unexpectedly knocked over and broke our glass vases) and handling it all with calm and care. We can't recommend Reverend Phil enough to any couple looking for a ceremony that’s heartfelt, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable.

We can’t say enough good things about Pat! She was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, she guided us through every step — from getting our marriage license, to meeting with us to get to know our story, to helping us craft a ceremony that felt so personal and true to us. She made the whole process easy and enjoyable, answering all our questions and giving us the freedom to really make the ceremony our own. She even reviewed our vows and was there if we needed any help or feedback. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and heartfelt our ceremony was, several people told us it was the most personal and meaningful ceremony they’d ever attended, and we owe that to Pat. She did an incredible job and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Awarded Best of Zola
Short answer: Yes! Hire Mike for a fantastic officiant! You won’t regret it! Long answer: I have been fortunate to know Mike since university. We were roommates for a year and he has been my soccer captain to this day. When my now wife and I were looking for an officiant, I thought about Mike. Not only because he knows me, but because I know how great of a public speaker he is. How personable he can be with anyone he meets. I guarantee he will take the time to get to know you and your significant other. He will learn every detail of your story. He will personalize your wedding to exactly the way you want. If you don’t know him like I do, still reach out to him. I guarantee you will be amazed by his personality and his care for your love story. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and Mike was truly the cherry on top! I am incredibly happy that we picked Mike to tell our story and create a beautiful ceremony!

As a bridesmaid in a recent wedding, I had the incredible privilege of witnessing a Handfasting ceremony officiated by Divine Spark Services, and it was a truly beautiful experience. The officiant, Megan, created an atmosphere that was both sacred and deeply personal.What made the ceremony absolutely magical was the way Megan seamlessly blended the rich traditions of a Handfasting with heartfelt, handwritten vows from the bride and groom. The result was a captivating and deeply moving moment that honored their personal love story while embracing a timeless ritual.

Our team of officiants has over 600 weddings experience in the last 8 years. We are experienced in creating a ceremony that is perfect for you and your fiancee for the best start to your married life.

Jennifer was wonderful to work with. She was very easy to contact and quickly answered any and all questions. Rehearsal went by so smooth and made sure to allievate any concerns and nerves- everyone knew what to do, when to do it, and how. The ceremony itself was more than what we could have hoped for. Jennifer kept it upbeat, loving, emotional, and just FUN! We were involved in the writing process so the ceremony was personal and full of meaning but kept a lot of surprises for us. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough!!!

I assist in crafting a creative, Jewish wedding ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple. I work with partners that are Jewish, interfaith, and LGBTQ+. I help couples honor their connection to Judaism and show them how to incorporate that respect into their wedding ceremony...in a way that is comfortable for them.

Rabbi Dina was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding ceremony. From our first conversation, Reb Dina was incredibly responsive, communicative, and friendly. We wanted elements of a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony without being overly religious and she took the time to understand our vision and tailored the ceremony to be truly special and personal for us. We received so many compliments from our guests on how special and full of love the ceremony was and what a wonderful job Reb Dina did. She was a delight to work with and really allowed us to customize the ceremony to be exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Reb Dina and her team for any couple looking for a flexible, personalized, and unforgettable wedding officiant!
