Dana Silverberg Lawson, Celebrant

Dana is wonderful. We saw her perform a friend's wedding years ago and liked it so much, we wanted her to do ours. She met with us in person, so we felt like we got to know her before the ceremony. Then she had us each fill out a questionnaire, which she used along with her notes from our meeting to create a totally personalized ceremony. She sent us the script ahead of time and let us choose which parts of the ceremony we wanted to include (vows, ring exchange, etc.), so we weren't surprised or disappointed on our big day. The ceremony went smoothly, and was exactly what we wanted. Dana tailored everything to us, so even though we'd seen her do a ceremony before, ours was completely different. During the reception, at least a dozen guests told us it was the best ceremony they'd ever seen, and I have to agree.

Dana was just perfect! She was very professional from the beginning and worked with us to make sure we are happy with every aspect of our ceremony.
The ceremony was beautiful, Dana helped us organize our processional and we did not have to worry about a thing! We got married on the beach in December and even though it was very cold and windy Dana did a wonderful job!! We would definitely recommend her!!!

We had the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony I have ever witnessed. Dana met with us in person and truly listened to our love story as if it was the first she'd ever heard. She took time getting to know us which was the most meaningful part about the experience. Dana sent us a detailed questionnaire that asked questions that were enjoyable to answer and that also painted a picture of who we are as individuals and as a couple. She gave us many great suggestions about readings and rituals and let us determine our ceremony. It was a pressure-free experience from planning to execution. Dana accompanied us to our rehearsal, she was prompt and looked absolutely professional. She also did a great job of keeping the nerves away and the somewhat rowdy bridal party focused. After the ceremony, many of my guests asked me about Dana and different elements of our ceremony because it was simply that beautiful. The ceremony turned out to be the most beautiful and meaningful part of the day, not the party afterwards or the gifts or the dress. I cannot say how highly I recommend Dana. She is a beautiful person inside and out. Dana will devote time getting to know you, always answer questions right away and give you an absolutely beautiful wedding ceremony. Thank you, Dana for making the most important day of my life that much greater.

We cannot say enough about Dana- she is wonderful! She was able to craft a beautiful ceremony for our wedding that captured who we are as a couple. It was personal, heartfelt, and truly memorable. We still receive compliments about our ceremony from our guests. We will remember and cherish our ceremony for a lifetime.

Dana wrote a beautiful ceremony for our wedding. It was an amazing ceremony. We very much appreciate it!

Dana was extremely helpful and was able to work with us on a tight schedule. She listened to what we wanted and created a beautiful service for our wedding. She got to know us so that it felt natural during the cermony and she was able to incorporate our story into our vows. We enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone!

Choosing Dana to officiate our wedding ceremony was the best choice we could have made! She personalized our ceremony and gave us complete creative control so that we were 110% happy with it! She gave us options so it was easy to understand and make decisions. It was open-ended, but not too open-ended that it was difficult or confusing. The process was easy and fun, Dana made it a joyful experience from day one.

Friends and family told us that it was the best wedding ceremony they ever saw. During our Receiving Line, everyone was raving about the ceremony and how personal it was. People kept saying, "it was so you!" Guests were impressed with how clear and loud Dana was able to speak, and how nice she was. But most importantly, that it reflected us and our relationship - and that it was different.

It was spiritual, fun and an overall joyful ceremony. The last thing it was, was "stuffy" - like many ceremonies are. We had a great, fun time during our ceremony, which many couples aren't able to say.

We can't recommend Dana enough, she is absolutely fantastic!!!! If you want a ceremony that will reflect you through and through, then choose Dana!

Dana Lawson was a wonderful wedding celebrant. My husband and I were extremely pleased with her services. She is extremely warm and caring. I am Jewish and my husband is Catholic and Dana really worked with us to create a ceremony that matched our values and beliefs perfectly. She was always available to answer any questions we had and guide us through the ceremonial rituals. Since the wedding, we have received many calls from family and friends complimenting Dana, saying it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever attended. I would highly recommend Dana to any couple getting married.

Dana was absolutely amazing. She lived a couple hours away from us, so she met us halfway at our first meeting...and I hired her on the spot! She's extremely friendly and it's obvious she loves what she does. She makes sure to personalize your ceremony as much as you want and makes it a point to get to know as much as possible about the couple. I got so many compliments on the ceremony after the wedding and I already had one friend ask for her information, so they can use her at their wedding! A+++++

We used Dana for our wedding May 29, 2011. From the very beginning she was wonderful! She took the time to get to know us, learn about how we met, what we like about each other, and what are background are to create a customized ceremony. We wanted a ceremony that incorporated a few jewish traditions while staying fairly neutral in terms of religion. We didnt know too much about Jewish tradition but Dana brought a ton of knowledge to help us. She met with us multiple times, was always willing and available to talk and gave suggestions. She also handled our rehersal as well to make sure everyone knew what to do. We spoke to many officiants before we decided on Dana and we are so glad we chose her. She really does go above and beyond. If you are looking for an officiant and are able to book her, I would highly recommend it!

Dana was an incredibly caring and attentive celebrant, from the first meeting it was clear that she truly loves what she does. She really took the time to work with us on what we wanted out of our ceremony and was able to take all of our disparate ideas and craft a beautiful ceremony that was totally "us".
We felt taken care of from start to finish.

Dana is an incredible officiant! Her ceremony was personal and you can tell that she really enjoys what she does. Hire her now!!!

Dana did an AMAZING job crafting our wedding. From the very first moment I spoke to her on the phone, she made me very comfortable and it was as if I had known her for years. When we first met her for coffee, it was like catching up with an old friend we hadn't seen in a while. The wedding was a second wedding for both of us, and she took the time to personalize the ceremony, including all of the things we wanted. She took the time to get to know us and put specific details about our relationship and our family into the ceremony. My father, who is a pretty traditional guy, has commented many times on how awesome our ceremony was, and how perfectly personalized it was. In many cases, an officiant will put together a cookie cutter ceremony for a couple, and the couple doesn't have much choice in what gets included. Dana is NOT one of those people! If you want a ceremony that is created specifically for you, and one that you and your guests will remember forever, Dana is the wedding weaver for you!

Dana was referred to me by a close friend and I'm so happy we found her!

My husband and I did not want a traditional church wedding and opted for a intimate outdoor ceremony followed by our reception.

We received so many wonderful compliments on how unique and personal our ceremony was.

We loved that it was specifically customized to us. Dana was there every step of the way, providing us with the materials and guidance to craft our ceremony into something truly special. She has many different options to make your ceremony exactly what you envision.

She was readily available and attentive to our questions and concerns. I have already recommended her to a few friends that are getting married in 2010! She's great!

Dana was an excellent addition to our wedding on September 13th, 2009. She was so helpful and inspiring when designing our ceremony. Dana really guided us through expressing our love for each other in words. Everything was so personal and genuine. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Thanks Dana!

Dana was AWESOME to work with! We recieved so many complements on our ceremony. Most people said it was the best ceremony they have been to. Dana really takes the time to personalize your ceremony and more than includes you in the crafting of the ceremony. Most importantly she is beyond nice and fun to work with and it was an honor to have her marry us!

My now husband and I were caught off guard about 3 weeks before our wedding when our planned officiant canceled. Panic! We searched online for local officiant's, found 3 that we considered, and emailed each. Instantly upon hearing back from Dana (and even before we heard back from her - lol) we knew she was meant to marry us. Luckily, within HOURS, we received a response and set up a date to meet.

Dana wanted to and enjoyed getting to know us, know about our relationship, and know why we wanted to be married. She asked us wonderful, fun questions and from there, crafted the most amazing, personal, heartfelt ceremony we had ever heard...and how lucky that it was OUR OWN ceremony we were witnessing this at!! Dana expressed every single thought and wish we had for each other, and our guests, through our ceremony. Dana sent us rough drafts and asked for our input, which we loved.

We loved with Dana that she provided us a truly unique ceremony that could not have embodied us more. She gave us a gift that we will be forever grateful for. Not only is she a beautiful person, but she is a beautiful soul. She loves what she does, and the person in the back row of our ceremony could feel the love that radiates from her.

Our guests are STILL talking about what a beautiful and special ceremony we had ~ which to us, seems like what a wedding should be. She made it about US. And, Dana made our ceremony so special, that it was a gift in itself.

I also have never met a more professional woman in my life. If you are blessed enough to have come across Dana Silverberg Lawson, CELEBRANT ;) ~ you are certainly blessed, indeed!! No need to hesitate :)

Congratulations and have fun planning your wedding!! It goes by in the blink of an eye, so cherish each moment!

We could not have been happier with our ceremony and the services provided by Dana. We received so much positive feedback from our guests about what a professional, caring and personable ceremony Dana performed. Dana was great to work with and she was always responsive to our questions and requests. We would definitely recommend Dana to compose your ceremony and officiate such an important day.

Dana is amazing. She cared about what we wanted, and delivered it on our wedding day. Her caring nature came through in her delivery of our ceremony. She made our special day even more special.

Dana was not only a joy and absolute "light" for us, but she was more than we could have asked for. After our original pastor had to be removed as our officiant, we found ourselves without any to perform our ceremony. Somehow we can across a site for officiants, and Dana was the one who responded to our request. After one or two meetings, we felt so comfortable with her that we hired her. She made our ceremony more amazing than we hoped it would be. She planned every detail the way we asked for it, and she used every bit of information she asked from us or she learned from us. We could not have been happier with her services. We are very glad to say that we continue to stay in touch with her, and consider her a great friend now as well.

Dana was absolutely wonderful!

She worked with us to create a beautiful ceremony that we continually get compliments about.
