Darrin was absolutely amazing! He made the initial meeting process very easy and wanted to get to know us as a couple. After the first time we met with him we knew he was our person. Even though it had only been a short period of time if felt like we had known him for years. He had a great personality, fun sense of humor and had a desire to make sure our wedding day was perfect for us.

Susana...10/21/2021 ceremony
Darrin was a pleasure to work with!! He understood our vision. He helped make the process easier and run it smoothly. We say this because when we got engaged in 2019. We were preparing for our BIG DAY on October 23, 2020!!! As we were doing this and getting ready we kept hearing about COVID-19. We honestly thought that it would never happen over here!!! But then when it crossed state side it hit really hard and so we decided to postpone our marriage celebration until October 22, 2021 and he was right there guiding since day 1!! We could not have picked a better Officiant to Marry us!!! Thank Darrin for everything!!!

My husband and I had an incredible experience working with Darrin for our wedding ceremony! He was responsive, flexible, organized, encouraging, and executed our ceremony flawlessly. Darrin was available for questions and support throughout our entire engagement leading up to the wedding day. He was on time and prepared for our rehearsal and handled our marriage license promptly. Darrin provided example ceremony scripts and readings as ideas for my husband and I, but was also receptive and very willing to include our ideas for the flow and content of our ceremony. On our wedding day, he came ready with our script printed out, and took initiative in gathering our vows before the ceremony started. I would recommend Darrin to any engaged couple!

We searched for months for an officiant to conduct our elopement ceremony in Sequoia. Darrin was exactly what we were looking for: professional and personable. We talked via Skype and he wrote a ceremony fitting our requests. I was most impressed with his thoroughness. One week before the ceremony he reached out to confirm all the details. This was on my long list of tasks to do but he saved me the hassle.
Emily...11/21/2020 ceremony
Darrin was an amazing officiant for our wedding. He met with us multiple times throughout the process to go over details, plan the timing of everything, and even read our vows. Our plans changed multiple times due to COVID, but Darrin stuck around through it all. He is a pastor that you can definitely count on to personalize your ceremony and do an incredible job. Thank you so much, Darrin!
Danielle...11/5/2020 ceremony
Working with Darrin was easy from start to finish. He was thorough and personable. He offers different packages and customization which is nice. When events beyond our control led us to change our wedding location, he was easygoing about the change. He was very professional and returned our license to the courthouse very quickly. I would definitely recommend Darrin for your wedding needs!

Darrin did a great job officiating our wedding. He is so easy to work with, he tailored the ceremony perfectly to us, he took charge during the rehearsal and kept everyone laughing so they forgot to be nervous.
Jacqueline...1/29/2019Â ceremony
We were looking for someone to officiate our marriage at the last minute. (No ceremony). Our license was going to expire soon and we just wanted to be married by court ASAP. Darrin met with us in the evening on the day we contacted him. He was on time and professional. He submitted the forms to the courthouse for us. I really wish we had had a ceremony with him. Great personality. Definitely recommend him if you're needing something small and straightforward or a full ceremony. He definitely had the professional you would hope for on your special day.
Tiffany...8/12/2018 ceremony
My fiancee and I live in Pennsylvania and decided we would elope before having a big celebration back home. We had always wanted to visit the Giant Sequoias but knew absolutely nothing about how to arrange a wedding on such a short notice. Darrin was able to put us in touch with a local photographer, suggested a few beautiful locations, and gave us many options for our ceremony. He even arrived at 4:30am so that our photographer could get the "perfect shot" of the sun rising over the mountains. It turned out absolutely perfect. We give him our highest recommendation!
Kacy...11/4/2017 ceremony
Darrin was so great to work with! He was very responsive and very helpful during this process. He made everything extremely easy during rehearsal and on the big day and made us both feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend his services to any bride and groom for their big day!
Corrine...9/1/2017 ceremony
Darrin was great, he saw our vision and helped us make it beautiful. We had a simple wedding out in Sequoia National Park and he was more than willing to let us customize the ceremony and really make it our own. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant. :)
Carla...10/14/2016 ceremony
Darrin was the perfect officiant for our elopement in Sequoia National Park. We are from Sydney, Australia so all the communication was via email and Facetime and Darrin always responded in a timely manner. On the wedding day, he made us feel so at ease and relaxed, and took the extra time to help us scout the perfect spot for our ceremony (as we had arrived in the park the previous day after sundown and weren't able to scout the location the day before as planned). His delivery of the ceremony was flawless, with the right tone and sincerity for an intimate wedding such as ours. I highly recommend Darrin, couldn't gave picked a better officiant!
Angela...9/17/2016 ceremony
Darrin was wonderful to work with. We wanted a short ceremony that included the important stuff without a lot of fluff. It was what we wanted and it was perfect. We received so many compliments from our guests too (they appreciated the short ceremony!).
Jason & Monica...8/27/2016 ceremony
We had a last minute change in venue of our marriage. We called Darrin and he was understanding and very professional! He fit us in and did a wonderful job of making this most special day even more special. He offered a variety of different ceremonies, and even though we had such a short time to prepare, he made it look like we had it planned all along!
We would definitely refer Darrin to anyone who needs his service!
Daniel...5/14/2016 ceremony
Darrin is an amazing officiant! He has extensive experience with weddings and knows exactly how to handle a ceremony. During the planning process, Darrin was very straight forward and explained everything in great detail so we understood how the ceremony would go; it was very reassuring. At the rehearsal, he stayed as long as needed for everyone in the wedding party to feel comfortable with the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, he did an amazing job and everything went exactly as he said it would. Darrin is reliable, honest, and very personable. He was a joy to work with for our wedding! I would strongly recommend Darrin to anyone that is looking for a wedding officiant!
