Rev Dee was so amazing...
"Rev. Dee was so amazing through the whole process! From the moment I contacted her she was so helpful, kind, and informative. Planning a wedding out of state can be challenging but she helped us navigate our way to making our day so special! We never had the chance to meet until moments before the ceremony and I can honestly say she is a master at her work. She made us feel so comfortable and had the most beautiful things to say in our ceremony! All of our guests were just as impressed as us with how heartfelt and meaningful and beautiful she made everything fall into place. Thank you so much Rev. Dee for being a huge part in making our day so special!!!"

Rev Dee is Amazing!
Rev. Dee is AMAZING! First meeting we fell in love with her, she was warm and inviting. We were so impressed with Dee that we cancelled our meeting with another Officiant and signed with her. Very prompt in response, very professional. Dee made our wedding day GREAT! We love how she made our ceremony what we wanted, our family and guests have also said good things about her. If you need an Officiant look no further than Diva Matters Ministry. Thank you Dee

Glad the Universe brought Rev Dee to Us!
I started off telling my fiance, we would find wedding officiants with the best reviews and meet with 2 or 3 before making a decision.. Reverend Dee was the first we met with and we were sold! We didn't need to meet anyone else! From initially chatting with her in her cute and inviting office space, to offering catering recommendations, offering to find us a reasonable photographer, a well put-together folder to take home, on examples of what could be said in our ceremony and tips on how to write our vows... even wanting to know details like our color palettes or accessories in our wedding so that she could blend seamlessly, making for great pictures..! Dee covered it all!!! I have not one critique I could possibly muster. She is warm and personable and was social at our wedding and after reception. She was even very friendly to my father, who can be quite an (unintentionally) offensive character and often difficult to interact with his big personality! He LOVED her! It's impossible not to!! My husband and I both said she was the best part of our wedding process. I'm so glad the Universe brought us to her. THANK YOU INFINITELY, DEE!!!

Worth Her Weight in Gold
Rev Dee was amazing; she worked with us to coordinate an ever changing wedding vision. We had several changes come up, due to unforeseen family issues, and Dee never stumbled when it came to keeping our ceremony on track. We even had a secret wedding right before the real one! She accommodated our needs and never once complained. Her professionalism and compassion to a difficult situation meant so much to us. I can't imagine how this day would have happened, if we had anyone other than her. She is worth her weight in gold!!!!
Dee was the absolute PERFECT officiant for our wedding
I can not express how pleased we were with her, she truly EXCEEDED our expectations. We contacted Dee THREE days before our wedding. She was extremely responsive, and flexible. Shockingly fulfilled our requests with no hesitation and adventurously hiked with my new husband and I to our location. Dee is a true gem, a beautiful person inside and out! So passionate and warm. Not to mention, (since we eloped) she fully filled the shoes of the closest, missed, loved one by helping with my dress, shoes, and floral head crown. Step by step she offered the most calming company with encouragement and heartfelt words. And delivered a one of a kind, memorable, and heartfelt ceremony. We HIGHLY recommend Dee.
One of the best ceremonies
“Dee is AMAZING!!! We were referred to Dee by our photographer, Erica Ann Photography, and I am so glad! Upon our first meeting with Dee she spoke with me and (my new husband), Sean. Our first meeting was about 2 hours long. Through casual and fun conversation she was able to get to know us and get a feel for what we wanted. I really wanted a non-religious, fun and sweet ceremony. I didn't want any of these boring, solemn ceremonies that I am used to seeing at weddings. After our first meeting, Dee provided us some readings and verbiage for us to use to create our own wedding vows. She provided assistance in helping us create our own vows and made the process really easy. Which was great because we were really worried about that part! Upon our second meeting, Dee had typed out the ceremony for us to go over. It was perfect! She included even the smallest details from our first meeting and she really listened to what we wanted.
The day of, Dee was incredible. She got there early, she was helpful in making sure things were set up properly and making sure everything was going smoothly. I cannot tell you how many compliments I got on her ceremony. People were so impressed. I was and keep being told that it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever heard. It was personal, fun, touching, and with laughter hidden in there. Dee made Sean and I feel so comfortable, not an easy feat for two shy people. I cannot say enough good things about her. After the ceremony, she hung around for a bit, chatted with our guests until we were ready to sign the documents.
Dee is just a breath of fresh air, she was a calming fun presence throughout the whole process and the day of.
You would be sorry if Dee was missing from your wedding!
Thanks!”
Wonderful wedding officiant
“We will start this review with the fact that Dee is a wonderful wedding officiant and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding. We met Dee by chance three months before our wedding when we sat next to her at a friend’s wedding reception. After having seen first hand her energetic and kind nature, we knew she would be a perfect addition to our ceremony. We met with her a month in advance of our wedding to consult with her about our ceremony. She was very receptive to our ideas and desires for what our ceremony would look like and helped us pick out passages and inspirational quotes as well as organize logistics. We had a hard time making certain decisions for what would be said, what the procession would look like, and what order everything would happen in. Luckily, Dee had some wonderful ideas and answers to our questions but also let us make the final call on any decision. She was also able to attend our wedding rehearsal and was able to walk us through how everything would look so there were no surprises on the day of our wedding. She offered to stay for the reception and interacted very well with guests and people had nothing but great things to say about her. Her exuberance and passion for what she does make her a perfect officiant. She is fun to watch and listen to. She will always remember that it’s your special day and will do whatever she can to make it perfect for you. We hope this review has been helpful and again, we would highly recommend Reverend Dee.”
We wrote our own vows
“Oh my…where do I start? Our wedding would not have been the same without Dee. Period. I cannot put into words the sense of relief we felt from the moment we first met with her through to the very end. Her warm, personal touches along with her professional expertise was so refreshing after meeting with other officiants and leaving their offices feeling like it wan not a match and we were never going to find the perfect officiant.
She was so patient with us as we wrote our own vows, patient and supportive of family members’ needs and requests and so in tuned to what made us as the Bride and Groom happy. We love her. We feel like she is a part of our family! I cannot say enough good things about her. We got so many compliments from guests and other vendors of ours as well which just reassured what we already were feeling. If she is available for your wedding date look no further – book her now. If she is already booked on the date you have chosen…pick a new date that she is available. Seriously – she is worth it.”
Beautiful Ceremony
Hi Dee,
I just wanted to thank you so very much for the beautiful ceremony. Everyone absolutely loved it (including us), and loved you!! So many people kept coming up to us and telling us how wonderful you are (we already knew that).
Thank you for being patient too. That meant a lot to us. Once again, thank you SO much! You truly made the ceremony absolutely beautiful!
The night was incredible
“Thank you so much for everything!“Thank you so much for everything! The night was incredible and we will never forget the rain shower. We had about 15 friends still there at 3am. You were wonderful and we are so happy we found you. Thank you sooooooooo much!” and we will never forget the rain shower. We had about 15 friends still there at 3am.

Rev. Dee Richardson was Amazing
“Rev. Dee Richardson was AMAZING! She was always very responsive and met with us to really find out who we were as a couple. She was reliable and professional and made us feel really comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend her for your wedding!! Thanks so much for everything Dee and we will stay in touch!”
It was such a blessing to have her perform our ceremony
“Dee was absolutely amazing! Professional, energetic, compassionate, and absolutely awesome. Dee is great at what she does and it was such a blessing to have her perform our ceremony. I would absolutely recommend Dee…..over and over again. Thanks Dee for everything!”
Rev. Dee was lovely to work with
“Rev. Dee was lovely to work with from the start! Definitely happy we went with her – she made sure to listen to what we wanted and didn't want in our ceremony and was sensitive to our needs -short and sweet!”
She did an amazing job
Rev. Dee was amazing! We received so many comments after the ceremony. Our friends and family kept asking, “Where did you find her?” We really feel that she did an amazing job. She took the time to sit down, talk and get to know us. She offered us options for vows, readings and ceremonies.We had some ideas of our own but didn't know how to incorporate them. Rev. Dee took our story and ideas and combined them with her knowledge and expertise to create a flawless ceremony that was perfect for us. Planning a wedding is stressful. If you are looking for an Officiant, call Rev. Dee, and RELAX
We consider you a friend for life
“…We consider you a friend for life now (uh-oh) and look forward to seeing you again. Thanks for being such an integral part of our union!”
Made our ceremony perfect
“If we could give more than 5 stars we would. Dee was so incredible, having her officiate truly made our ceremony perfect. All of our guests asked how we met her and how long we had known each other because she was able to create the perfect ceremony for us, it felt like we had known each other for years!!! I cannot imagine our ceremony being more special, and we owe it all to Dee!!!”
You were so easy to work with
“Dee,
Meliah and I wanted to tell you how much we loved you being involved in our wedding. You were so easy to work with and we felt such a connection with you from the moment we met you. One of the reasons we went with you was because you were willing to enjoy a meal with us on this special day. We will always keep in touch with you and for anyone who really wants someone who they can start a real relationship with, I would tell them to choose you for their Officiant.”
Very enthusiastic
“Dee was very enthusiastic and provided us with a script that was perfectly appropriate for our wedding. Neither my husband nor I wanted to worry about the ceremony, so Dee took full control and handled it for us with efficiency, creativity, and professionalism. We were thrilled with her work!”
Very professional and passionate
“Reverend Dee is wonderful. She is very professional and passionate about what she does and brought a lot of energy and love to our wedding. Planning out our ceremony was extremely easy as she has many great suggestions and a lot of experience. We cannot say enough nice things about how great she is.”
Worked with us to write the perfect blessing
“Rev. Dee joined us for our 7 month old daughter’s baby blessing today. She did an amazing job, worked with us to write the perfect blessing, and her delivery was perfect! My entire family complimented the blessing and how much they all loved her and what she said! I can’t wait to have Rev. Dee do our wedding ceremony!”
Our day extra special
“Dee was a lovely person to work with from the planning process to the wedding day! You can’t go wrong with Dee’s positive attitude, flexibility, and unconditional support before, during, and after the wedding. She’s super understanding and went out of her way to make our day extra special. More importantly, her exuberance and optimistic attitude is highly contagious and was just what we needed to prepare and live our dream wedding day!”
Dee was such a wonderful Officiant!
