Rev. Denise was the easiest, no-fuss wedding vendor we dealt with. She was referred to us by a…read morefriend who attended a wedding she officiated. My then-fiancé contacted her via email rather late notice (1 month prior), set up an appointment to meet her at home, we met with her and chose the "parts" to the ceremony (we mixed and matched a handful of commonly said things she already had), gave her a cash deposit on the spot, and were out of there in an hour! A day or two later, she emailed us the entire ceremony that we had discussed in her home, allowed us to make some changes via email, and that was it. We didn't hear or see her again until an hour before the actual ceremony. She made sure to find us at our venue, gave us a couple pointers, and told us to relax and that she would be giving us cues, which she did very subtly and professionally. Even one of our groomsmen asked us later, "Where did you find her? She was on top of things!" For those of you looking for someone to guide you through every detail, she might not be the one for you. She's rather hands off, but she is pretty responsive via email. Like other officiants, she will charge extra if you want her to attend your rehearsal, so we orchestrated the rehearsal ourselves. She is also really a good soul. Although she has a church background, she is very open and accepting of all humankind. We were not picky about our ceremony - just that it be non denominational and short! But in hindsight, I'm glad we chose someone with such poise and experience! Working with her was truly effortless and inexpensive! I highly recommend Rev. Denise!

Anyone considering Reverend Denise Tracy that would like to know more about our experience can…read morecontact me directly through Yelp to discuss our experience. I would like to also note that Reverend Denise sent me a message on Yelp and also today (12/27) left a comment on my previous review. We have received ZERO phone calls from Reverend Denise - I am not sure she has a phone number for now Mr. Husband or me. Again, I stress that this review does not have anything to do with Reverend Denise Tracy's actual officiating services (we didn't get that far), only to the service we received while we were doing our own research.

He took what could have easily been a few short vows and kiss... into a beautiful story. Our family and friends not only witnessed our unity, but learned about our journey from the very beginning. They heard how we met, how we grew to who we are and even our little inside jokes. They were reminded why we wanted them there in the first place... and they had FUN! Guests are still reaching out to tell us how much they loved our ceremony, thanks to Reverend Ed. Throughout the planning process, he reminded us what we were doing all of this for! More than that, I can confidently say I fell more in love with my husband on my wedding day, as we were taken on a journey through our own lives.
