Debbie was amazing! The workbook made the process so easy for us and she made sure to answer all of our questions and concerns. Even after our wedding when there was an issue with ...
our marriage license (a mistake when issued) she was quick to get back to me with a possible solution and then within 2 days a final answer after calling the county on our behalf. Choosing La Donna made the whole process as stress free as getting married can be.
I worked with Debbie. The worksheet was great to plan the ceremony script. We wanted to do a memorial during our ceremony and the officiant did not feel comfortable pronouncing our...
relatives names, so we arranged for a relative to come to say them instead. The officiant called me to confirm how to pronounce the groom's name in advance and then practiced his name again with his relative once she arrived. During the ceremony, she completely butchered his name. It was embarrassing and I felt terrible for him. She also didn't even say it the same way throughout the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, when announcing the couple and she had to say his full name, she tried a few times and then gave up - completely took away from the excitement of the moment. It was the running joke afterwards of all of the different names that she called him during the ceremony. For reference, his name is not a traditional American name but is also only 6 letters long. She apologized afterwards and said how she is bad at names. This was the only vendor we were disappointed in.
My husband & I could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony. Working with Donna was a pleasure. She is extremely professional, kind, and delivered a very touching ceremony.

So grateful we chose LaDonna Weddings to make our wedding day a beautiful memory we will always cherish.
Donna was amazing with our wedding being the officiant. She spent so much time with us helping us ensure we knew what to do and what queues to look for. She came to our rehearsal a...
nd kept everyone moving (even though our bridal party was being crazy that night). She led us through the full process- and even though you may think you know what to do, you will totally forget the day of. I did, and she gave great queues to help us stay on track/not mess up, and because of her, our photographer got great photos! I highly recommend Donna with wedding officiating and will continue to recommend her to our friends and family!
A+ the entire process. We were walked through everything and it made things much less stressful. In fact, I didn't think I wanted a rehearsal dinner. I was wrong.
The day of ...

eparate religions coming together in our family. She was professional and helped us plan with ease. She made sure she spoke up for us to make sure we got what we REALLY wanted. Weddings can be chaotic and there are a lot of opinions going on. She made sure we had what we had envisioned. Our guests still can't stop talking about how beautiful the ceremony was. Perfection through and through.
Donna performed our backyard casual ceremony and she was fantastic.
We did not have the "standard" wedding and were on the too relaxed side for a wedding, however, she worked with...
us, made the ceremony process easy to follow and was helpful all the way to the end of the ceremony.
Donna was extremely organized so there was little thinking we had to do because she did it all for us, which was very helpful! As wedding planning in our own backyard can be hectic!
We have no complaints at all.
We loved Donna!
We hired Donna to perform our wedding ceremony and we were very pleased. Donna exhibited a high caliber of professionalism. She brought up many details in the ceremony that we had ...
not previously thought of. We were aiming for a non-traditional ceremony which Donna helped provide for us. Her À la carte approach to structuring the ceremony and assisting us in constructing an event that fit our vision was wonderful. Thank you Donna for your expertise and your help providing us with a beautiful and memorable ceremony.

fect ceremony. Unfortunately she was unable to perform our ceremony due to an injury a week before the wedding. Donna stepped in to fill in for her and the wedding went off without a hitch. Donna is very knowledgable and her guidance for our outdoor ceremony was much appreciated. I am so grateful for their versatility and saving us from what could have been a bride's worst nightmare. So extremely happy with our selection and would highly recommend LaDonna Weddings to anyone looking for an officiant.
First rate, professional services. Donna took our dream of a midnight wedding and made it happen. Great company to work with. Cannot recommend them enough!

ce.
Your proficiency enabled us to achieve the type of Wedding Ceremony that was most important to us, the joining of our children, grandchildren and guest as one. The wedding booklet enabled us the tools to put words and actions in motion. Your expertise put our sentiments, emotions and feelings into the said word.
We received many wonderful positive comments about our Wedding Ceremony. Our guests enjoyed the lightness, humor and how meaninful the words united us.
Mike and I, once again, thank you for making our Wedding Ceremony a truly unique blessed event. We greatly appreciate your time and dedication in making this special day for us a joyful celebration.
Respectfully,
Kathie and Mike M.

d that we were able to customize the entire ceremony. We were able to make it perfect for us. We received so many compliments on the beautiful ceremony! Thank you again for being part of our special day!
Thank you La Donna for helping the happiest day of my life go as smoothly as possible! All 1,000 of my questions were answered with patience and compassion and in a timely manner.
We just wanted to have a small intimate wedding and we decided on the fireside ceremony. It was beautiful. We were still able to make the ceremony our own and write our own vows....
She really made the ceremony beautiful. I highly recommend LaDonna Weddings. Thank you for making our little ceremony so magical.
One word to describe AMAZING! We could not have asked for a better experience working with an officiant. Every step of the way, she was there to help and answer questions and was e...
xtremely attentive. The months leading up to our wedding day were made a little easier with having a team working with us. The "Create a Ceremony" was one of our favorite parts. Having the option to change and tweak every part of the ceremony made it completely ours, that was something that meant a lot to us. We could not have been happier with our choice. We will be (and already have started) recommending Danielle to everyone we know.
What a perfect day we had. Many of our guests remarked how excellent our officiant was and how our wedding was one of the most personal, heartfelt and touching ceremonies they had ...
ever attended. Like most brides, I spent a fair amount of time before my wedding day dreaming about the ceremony, and the reality of my wedding day surpassed my dreams."
We contacted La Donna looking for a male officiant and were directed to Mark Hancock.
WOW! I cannot say enough about how easy going he is - it was a pleasure working with him. Whe...
n we first met him we knew he was our officiant! He is incredibly professional but down-to-earth and flexible. He customized our ceremony for us, allowed us to write our own vows, helped us through our rehearsal and submitted our marriage license for us. We could not be happier with our decision to choose him for our special day! :)
Our ceremony was lovely because of you! Thank you so much, you were perfect! Thank you, once again for making our special day even more special.
We found that the communication, preparation, efficiency, attentiveness and overall calm and personable attention was exceptional. Our ceremony, though very small was beautifully p...
erformed by Rev. Donna, and we could not have made a better choice. We highly recommend LaDonna Weddings to anyone looking to make their wedding day as special as their love and commitment to each other.
We used La Donna services for our wedding held in June, 2016. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend them, and would encourage engaged couples to look elsewhere.
Our officiant, Daniel...
le, was very personable and exceeded our expectations during the day of the wedding. However, she provided a very bare bones rehearsal, walking us through the ceremony only in vague generalities.
Our biggest issue with La Donna stems from their communication, or more accurately, lack thereof. Three days before the wedding, I had a complete meltdown, I was in tears, sobbing -- all thanks to La Donna. In Michigan, the couple has to head down to the courthouse at least three days before the wedding (but no more than 30 days before the wedding) to secure a marriage license. La Donna did not inform us of this until, three days before the wedding, we received an email telling us to bring our license to the rehearsal. In a panic, we called Donna herself and rather than accept responsibility and offer an apology, we were told in a very rude and inconsiderate manner that “most couples know that.” We are a young couple and it was our first wedding for both of us. We were not aware, and they made no effort to inform us of this crucial detail.
Overall, La Donna was unprofessional. Once, they sent an important email to themselves, and didn’t correct their mistake for nearly a week. In total, I think we spent fewer than 4 hours with them in any capacity. It felt like a total cash grab on their part, and a complete waste of money. Definitely the worst $400 I’ve ever spent.

wledgeable about how a wedding is to be run and was able give helpful tips. Gave information on what to do after the wedding (i.e. name change) which is extremely helpful with printed materials so I couldn't forget after honeymoon. I loved the options to create a Cermony that expressed what our relationship valued and was able to truly reflect us. Very well spoken, seemed to memorize our ceremony and spoke directly to us or the guest, could tell she was fully prepared for any possible circumstances ( Donna had notes in binder which were in protecting sheets so if it were to rain the notes would not get wet and ruined). Was able to run our rehearsal without difficulty even if there were dificult family members. Very happy with everything and can't thank them enough for all the hard work.
