What People Are Saying
“Deshna was very professional and great at what she does. She worked with me in order to write up our perfect ceremonial speech, guided us through what to expect, and performed wonderfully at our micro wedding. I received multiple compliments about how great she was from my guests after our ceremony as well. I would highly recommend working with Deshna!”
— Anna and Jared
“Deshna was an amazing wedding officiant and was well prepared. She makes everyone feel welcomed and has a heart warming vibe. She gave us the ceremony we were looking for and took the time getting to know my husband and I. She also arrived 15 minutes early to make sure everything was ready. It was a pleasure working with her, I highly recommend her!.”
— Yuliza and Jerry

— Linn C.
Working with Reverend Deshna was a dream come true! She was very through and customized our ceremony entirely to us. We saw weather delays and other challenges during our ceremony, not only did she help keep my partner and I calm she also has the best genuine smile that looks fantastic pictures! Once our ceremony began, we were amazed by the her word choices and overall delivery. Our ceremony was better than we could have imagined and we owe that all to her.
— Angilene and Lex
William and I found Reverend Deshna really close to our wedding date October 10, 2020 as all of our previous plans had to change due to the global pandemic. With many interviews scheduled, we were stressed with the re-planning of our entire wedding. Reverend Deshna was kind, patient and communicated with us thoroughly. William and I were very pleased and felt immense comfort during our entire process. We felt peace and a sense of direction finally! Reverend Deshna helped us through the entire process from marriage license to I do. This was very helpful to us. On our wedding day; Reverend Deshna was very accommodating, understanding and highly professional. Reverend Deshna curated and created our ceremony wording through questions answered previously through our interview process. Our guests, William and I were blown away with how beautifully she spoke during our ceremony. Reverend Deshna was soft spoken but heard, thoughtful and charismatic. We will never forget her words! William and I are incredibly grateful we got to have Reverend Deshna officiant our wedding ceremony. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to any couple wanting to tie the knot with the love of their lives!!! She was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Thank you Reverend Deshna, we very much appreciate you!!!
— Rickeisha and William

Rev. Deshna is AMAZING!! She guided us through the wedding process with blissful ease and clearly prepared us for what to expect on our big day.
