Damian was wonderful, I really can not say enough, about how much he helped us! From our first consultations to after the ceremony he was friendly, professional and extremely helpful. At our first meeting he took “all the time necessary” to understand who we were and what we were looking for. From that point on his great personality, sense of humor and diverse spiritual back ground made him the perfect choice for us! Between that and our wedding day he was always available, helping us to tweak our ceremony, wording and vows to meet our unique circumstances, and truly reflect who we are. He did his job so well that after the ceremony many of our friends and family members asked both us and Damian how long we had known each other and how long we had been friends. I don't think Damian could receive a higher compliment, and I believe you could not make a better choice.

My wife and I are from Denver and we were getting married in Ohio, so finding a minister to fit our needs was like finding a needle in a haystack. We were so lucky to find Damian, he not only met our needs he exceeded them! From the beginning he was very helpful and organized. He made sure that we were comfortable with all of the wording and order of the ceremony. We communicated all of our concerns and desires for our ceremony, he implemented them perfectly. The ceremony was both memorable and beautiful thanks to Damian. All of the guests raved about him. We felt like we had a spiritual connection with Damian and intend to keep in touch with him for future guidance in our marriage. We highly recommend Damian and are certain that you will appreciate him as much as we did.

Damian was an amazing officiant and made our ceremony better than I could have ever imagined! He wrote a great ceremony, and used stories that we provided, to make it personalized to our lives. He was very quick to respond to any questions that we had. Our friends and family members had nothing but great things to say about the ceremony and their interactions with Damian. I would recommend Damian to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding!

Damian was amazing to work with -- we highly recommend him! We found Damian after a bad run-in with another officiant whose only concern was selling us the "platinum experience" and didn't listen to what we wanted. Damian was the complete opposite! He has a simple, easy-to-understand method and is very organized and open to what the couple wants. He tailored our ceremony to fit us perfectly, and let us personalize it however we wanted! We were blown away by Damian's openness, flexibility, and kindness. Great communication -- emails were always returned within a couple of hours. Damian is the best you will find in Ohio -- I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Damian made our ceremony special. He was so warm and thoughtful. He tailored the ceremony to meet our unique family needs. Damian was so warm and welcoming to our guests. Damian was very well prepared and met with us several times before the ceremony. Damian helped our wedding and reception be the stress free memorial event we imagined.

My fiance and I really struggled in finding someone that could accommodate our needs...we stumbled upon a true blessing with Damian! He exceeded our expectations from a professional standpoint and even more so with our personal/spiritual needs. This was exemplified in the ability to put us at ease and to really show that he cared. Grace and Dignity are the first words that come to mind with our experience as he listened and coached us through the chaos of wedding planning. His sincere love and respect that was demonstrated throughout our ceremony was greatly appreciated by not just us but all who witnessed! We honestly couldn't have asked for anything more!

We had a very simple and small beautiful wedding and part of its beauty was the service Damian provided. Not only he was great at accommodating his time to our needs (on a very short notice and no time for rehearsal) but he also was very professional and helpful. We met with him initially to discuss our ceremony details, and he was patient, friendly, organized and offered a variety of suggestions. We worked on the entire script of the ceremony together and knew exactly what would be said and when, and he also instructed us on how to get the license and our certified marriage abstract afterward. Damian offered ideas of how to make our ceremony special for us. On the day of the wedding he showed up with plenty of time to go over the last details, looked professional, and delivered the ceremony perfectly. Mostly of our guest were bilingual and since some of our closest family members were not able to come to our wedding, he even offered to dedicate a small part of it in Spanish to honor them!! Our guests, our families, and even us were very impressed with his language skills … his pronunciation and eloquence in Spanish was almost perfect and we’re very happy and grateful for that! The fact that we got to share our special moment with our families was priceless thanks to Damian! All our guests were not only impressed with his way of conducting the whole ceremony (it was so well-written), but also his energy and enthusiasm made us both feel so comfortable and happy while saying our “I do’s”. We’re so glad we contacted him and everybody commented on what a wonderful ceremony we had! Damian made it memorable, personalized and unique. We gladly recommend him to anyone!Thanks again Damian!!Wedding date: May 8, 2010

Damian was wonderful before during and after the ceremony. Before: He was very patient listening and responsive to all our family requests and changes up to the last minute.

Extra: he was always on-time and positive ready to go on every meeting we had. We highly recommend Damian as an officiant for wedding ceremonies. Thanks again Damian! It was a pleasure!
