A Moment To Cherish

This review is long overdue. My husband and I have now been married 5 months!
Dan was such a perfect match for my husband and I! When we met with him the first time, he was so easy to talk to and wanted to make sure he wrote down specifics from our end. I come from a very catholic upbringing, and my husband didn’t grow up with any specific religious background, so we wanted a ceremony that met somewhere in the middle. Dan was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. From meetings, emails, the wedding rehersal, Dan gave us direction, he was always sincere and funny and was such a calming presence. He even helped us with the marriage license process! The ceremony itself couldn’t have been any more perfect. I especially loved that we got to read our love letters to each other in front of all of our friends and families. My parents, who were at first reluctant to our non-​traditional ceremony was touched by Dan’s words; they kept raving about how great of a guy Dan was! Thank you Dan, for marrying us! 5 stars across the board!

I am so impressed with Dan, I don’t even know where to begin. Dan was the highlight of our wedding. We worked with him to create a very personal and unique ceremony. He had great ideas to really make our day special, and worked with us through many drafts and late nights to make it happen. I am still receiving comments on how special our ceremony really was and that is all thanks to Dan. He was very easy to work with and filed all of our paperwork promptly.

Pastor Dan did a phenomenal job officiating our wedding! During our initial meeting, he really took the time to get to know my husband and me and always kept communication open up until the day of the wedding. He is so funny and charismatic and all of our guests loved him. He even emailed us just a few days after the wedding to let us know that all the paper work was submitted and gave us instructions on how to obtain a copy of our marriage certificate. You can tell Pastor Dan loves his job and truly wants to make the ceremony special for each of his clients. Thanks so much Dan!

There are a few things that I value in wedding vendors: professionalism, quick responses, and friendliness. Daniel gets five stars for each of these values. He always gets back to you within 24 hours and treats you as if you are his only client. He also delivered a wonderful wedding ceremony. My entire family was impressed with his work ethic and kindness. I will recommend him to anyone that is looking for an officiant. Thank you, Daniel for making our wedding day amazing!

My husband and I are so glad Pastor Dan officiated our big day! Our wedding coordinator actually provided us with a few names but, after our initial meeting with him, we knew we wanted Dan to preside over our ceremony. He brought me to tears as he gave us an idea of what he would say!
More importantly, my husband and I both felt at ease talking to him and discussing every aspect of our ceremony with him. We knew we were in good hands and come the rehearsal and actual wedding day, Dan was such a HUGE source of reassurance and calmness. We had so many guests compliment us on our ceremony, how personalized and beautiful it was and we owe it to pastor Dan!
Look no further for the perfect officiant! :)

Daniel was one of the best decisions my (now) husband and I made regarding our wedding. We knew as soon as we met with him for a consultation that he was the right person to marry us, and he worked closely with us to fine tune our love letters and rewrite the ceremony until it was just as we wanted it. He made the whole process so easy, and it was one thing that I did not have to worry about on our big day.
We are blessed to have found him to officiate for us.

We were extremely lucky and grateful to have found Dan Deghi for our wedding! Throughout the process, Dan was extremely thorough, flexible, and a true pleasure to work with. There can be a lot of pressure behind putting together the right ceremony script, but Dan put our worries to ease with his expertise and invaluable resources. He helped us create a unique, lighthearted ceremony that we could truly call our own. During our ceremony, Dan was highly articulate and engaging. He truly made our wedding beautiful & memorable, and we will always recommend him to friends and family members in need of the right officiant. Dan is simply the best! If you’d like to see an example of Dan’s work, here is a link to a few clips from our ceremony:

Dan officiated our wedding 11÷8÷14 in Newport Beach and it was absolutely wonderful!!! After meeting with Dan, we decided after 5 mins (if that!) that he was the one we wanted to marry us. He was so personable and you could tell he really wanted to get to know us and convey everything we wanted for our wedding. All the personal touches and suggestions he made were exactly what we were looking for. After the ceremony, all of our guests gushed about how wonderful he was and what a beautiful ceremony he performed.
We were truly honored to have him officiate our wedding and would absolutely recommend him in a heartbeat!
Thanks Dan!
Love,

Dan Deghi officiated a great ceremony. He was able to customize it to our tastes in every detail and our guests loved him. We were married at yacht club and Dan’s ideas fit well with the theme and made it both a spiritual and entertaining event for everybody. He worked with us every step of the way and clearly cares about the work he does and the people he does it for.

Daniel was such a delight to work with. After meeting him and discussing our interest, we booked him right away. He had such a positive, friendly demeanor that we could not let such an awesome individual not wed my now husband and I.
Daniel is very thorough with his ceremony, providing suggestions on blessings, wedding vows and readings. He frequently asked if revisions needed to be made, but honestly, he just knows what he’s doing.
We feel very fortunate to have had Daniel officiate our wedding and highly recommend him to anyone wanting an awesome officiant. :)

Daniel was perfect for our wedding! From the moment we met him we had a great feeling about him. He was so easy to work with and his response time was fast. He worked with us to create the perfect ceremony and was always very relaxed. He supplied great ideas for our ceremony and helped us find our wedding location as well! He is super professional and will be a life long friend! Thanks Daniel!!! :)

Thank you Daniel for everything! You were more then perfect! From the moment Johnny and I met you and even after the wedding. You have been more then helpful and so kind. We were so honored to have you apart of our wedding. Not only were we happy but all our family and guests raved about you! Daniel is very sweet, funny, down to earth and more importantly GENUINE!

Pastor Deghi officiated our wedding a couple of weeks ago at the Aliso Viejo Conference Center. I cannot express in a Unilocal review how wonderful he has been throughout this whole process.
When my husband and I first met him, we knew right away that he was going to be our officiant. He has such a kind and sweet demeanor, and you can tell that he really loves what he does… and he’s really good at it! His communication skills are amazing and will work on your wedding vows with you until you are 100% satisfied with them.
Of all the components that made our wedding day, the ceremony is what we received the most compliments on. All of our guests said that it was a beautiful ceremony… and I have to say that it was the best part of the day for me.
Thank you again, Pastor Deghi! It was a pleasure meeting you!

Thank you Dan for being such a wonderful person. From our first conversation til the time you blessed our wedding, you were always about us. We were honored to have you a part of our wedding. For everyone looking for an officiant, The search stops here. Dan is extremely courteous, will provide you with a lot of ideas and help guide you through your special day. I can’t express how much stress I was in but Dan made me feel very comfortable and offered advice on how to make things run smoothly.

We had the pleasure of working with Dan this last weekend for our wedding at The Nixon Library, and we couldn’t be happier that he could be such a big part of our day! From the moment we contacted him, he was so incredibly kind and professional, and his communication is flawless. I never realized how greatly quick communication with vendors would stick out to me during the entire planning process, and Dan is spot-​on. We had the opportunity to meet with Dan in our home for our initial meeting, and we knew he was perfect for us after only a few minutes.
When he sent us the draft for the type of ceremony we requested, we were blown away after reading it! We didn’t change a word. We received compliment after compliment from our guests during our reception at how touching his message was, and how perfectly it fit us as a couple.
One of the best things we took away from our experience with Dan was his offer to help us with any counseling we may need in future years. It’s something he offers to each and every couple that he marries, and in our opinion, it is a wonderful promise. Dan truly cares about more than just your wedding day, he cares for your well-​being as a married couple. We would recommend Dan to anyone!
Thanks for everything Dan!
Love,

A Moment to Cherish — Wedding Officiant, Daniel Deghi — Such a fabulous Wedding Officiant! I am a Wedding & Event Planner who has worked with Daniel for a while. He is SOO extremely wonderful and one of my Preferred Vendors! He writes out your entire ceremony for you once you have contracted with him and have discussed your plans for the ceremony — you literally tear-​up reading it!
He not only is the Officiant for some of my couples, but he is also already booked as my own Wedding Officiant when I finally pick my wedding date!
(Here’s my personal experience as a bride) — When I first contracted with Dan, I patiently awaited an email with the ceremony options he put together, and when I read them, I cried — I could actually see myself at the ceremony and picturing what would be said — I was in tears and SOO excited! — I still cannot wait!
— I have a Bride right now, who is SOO excited as well, just the other day she even emailed me what he put together for her — Tears of happiness is all you could hear in my Brides voice while we were both on the phone reading it… Truly a Priceless experience.
Please take a few minutes to call Dan, talk about what options he can create for your big day — you will be soo very happy you did!
— Thank you Dan for being such a wonderful Wedding Officiant! See you at our next Wedding!

«Choosing a wedding officiant can be such an overwhelming task. There are many important decisions… cake, flowers, dress… but when it comes down to it, a wedding is remembered by the ceremony. Pastor Dan made our special day a truly beautiful and memorable one. He met with us before the wedding to discuss our vision and had suggestions and comments on how to make it happen. He took time to get to know us personally and customized the ceremony to our ideas. During the reception, guests were gushing with compliments and expressing how truly moved they were.
Thank you Pastor Dan for making our day perfect!»
