Weddings!

 

Hi all!

One of the best things about being a Reverend is the opportunity of meeting some wonderful couples and their families.  It really is a joy and a privilege to be part of their special day.  I wanted to share some recent photos with you, plus some of their warm comments.  They are living proof that love truly is the greatest thing in the world!  Enjoy!

A great part of our special day

“It’s only fair to begin our review by stating that my wife and I are not overly religious or spiritual people.  So I believe it spoke volumes when a guest at our wedding pulled me aside and asked if Rev. Gary Deinstadt was our ‘regular pastor’ because of his eloquence and genuine spirit.  It was an absolute pleasure to meet with, speak, and ultimately have Rev. Gary marry my wife and I. Our day was perfect and his ceremony and kind words only made it better.  From a ‘consumer’ standpoint, Rev. Gary is great – open lines of communication, helpful suggestions, and his pleasant disposition made choosing and discussing the actual ceremony an easy part of the wedding experience for which I’ll be forever grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rev. Gary to anyone looking for someone to marry them.”

“We can whole heartily say that we had such a great wedding day and were pleased to have Rev. Gary Deinstadt as our officiant, who did such an outstanding job composing and performing the ceremony. He was so personable and really wanted to get to know us and our story. We met with him before our big day which was great because by the time the wedding came around he felt like a friend rather than just a guy that is marrying us! You could tell he was so passionate about the wedding experience for couples and instantly created a connection with us. He is very talented at what he does and listened to our needs. His warm personality made him very easy to work with and his suggestions made our ceremony more meaningful. He created a unique and personal ceremony that will now be a lasting and precious memory for us and our guests. Gary arrived in plenty of time and helped us get it together those last moments before the ceremony when you are super frazzled and nervous. All paper work and legal matters were taken care of effortlessly and everything ran smoothly. Besides being professional, he is an extremely warm and friendly person. He was also wonderful during the ceremony. We had a small, intimate ceremony in New York Central Park and he hit just the perfect note for it. We could never have imagined such a perfect fit for our wedding day, and are still so grateful to Gary for making it possible. We have received endless compliments about him following the ceremony. Anyone who chooses him for their officiant will be forever thankful, as Gary will make your day amazing and unique and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rev Gary Deinstadt to any of our family or friends considering getting married in New York.”   Monia & Niki, Spain

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

“I am so thankful to my friend Andrea for referring us to Reverend Gary Deinstadt, as he was a perfect fit for us! Gary took the time to talk to us, to get to know us, how we met etc. and we were also able to get to know him. Choosing who will marry you is the most important aspect of planning a wedding. So often I’ve seen where the priest/reverend loses an audience because they lack the charisma to keep guests engaged by their story telling, or interest in the couple. After the ceremony, our guests kept coming up to us and commenting on what a great job Reverend Gary did, and how nice he was. Of course we agreed! It was nice too, that he stayed after the ceremony for part of the cocktail hour to spend time with our family with whom he had met at our rehearsal that he came to. They loved him!!! Prior to our big day, if I had a question I emailed him and got a response right away, if not the same day. He listened to what we wanted and was extremely professional, kind and a wonderful person to deal with. Thank you so much Gary for an absolute FLAWLESS ceremony Actually, the whole day was just a breeze and we can’t wait to see the video!!!!

All our best, Jennifer and Ian

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wonderful Wedding Ceremony!!

“We have almost been married three months now, and looking back we can only smile about our Wedding Day! We had both been married more than once but, when we realized we were finally going to be married to the right person….we wanted a special person to do the officiating…….Rev. Gary Deinstadt far exceeded them by far…. When we found him, we only had about a month to our wedding date! He was monumental in helping us with the preparation of the actual ceremony, and all that in entailed…..We wanted it to be meaningful & heartfelt…..and that it was…..Rev. Gary was able to send us recommended readings that we selected and assigned to our friends to read! I asked him if he would be willing to perform a hand wrapping ceremony and he was willing & excited about including it! He also personalized by saying a few words besides the vows and rings exchange. He is very warm & personable and his voice has a deep and resonating tone.  The ceremony was held in a small old wooden church and no mikes were needed. When the Best Man was not able to show up in a timely fashion……he and my groom were able to calmly figure out who to have stand in at the last minute.  During the ceremony, there were smiles, and laughs, and an overall feeling of good will and blessings… I can guarantee you will be extremely happy with the choice of using Rev. Gary Deinstadt as your blessed officiator.  He has plenty of patience, class and great humor too!”
