Rev Dean A Ryder

Pastor Dean didn't know me or my fiance, and still he arranged a ceremony that was exactly what we wanted. He and his wife worked as a team to create the perfect day for us!

My husband and I were very pleased to have Rev. Dean Ryder officiate our wedding. Although we had a destination wedding, Rev. Ryder made everything extremely easy. He always answered phone calls/emails right away. The day of the wedding, his wife came to the ceremony and took pictures which he emailed to me the very next morning. It was such a nice surprise to have some pictures so soon after the wedding and as we were leaving for our honeymoon.

Pastor Dean officiated my wedding this past March and also my brother's a couple years ago which is how he was recommended to me. He was very patient and flexible with myself and my groom since we were planning from Seattle. He was easy to reach through email and also by phone. He made our wedding day special and filled it with joy by delivering a service that was humorous, but carried the message of love and commitment through it. I was told many times that our wedding service was the best one they had been to. Thank you Pastor Dean!

There are not enough nice things to say about Pastor Dean and his wonderful wife Donna. They are so compassionate and personal with each ceremony. We met them at their home and they made us feel completely at ease about our ceremony. If you want an amazing and uniqque ceremony, Pastor Dean is your guy!!

very pleasant to work with and gave a lovely ceremony.

Pastor Dean was amazing officiating our wedding. We loved him and all of our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they loved the ceremony. He really takes the time prepping before the wedding to make sure that the ceremony is unique to you. We are so happy we found Pastor Dean. His wife is also very helpful and kind. They are both wonderful and we would recommend them to any bride to be!!!

It was a pleasure to have Pastor Dean Ryder conduct our wedding ceremony. Pastor Dean and his wife Donna are a joy! About a month before the wedding, they welcomed us into their home and got to know us. My husband and I knew right away that we had made the right choice for our day. They made it special, full of laughter and a few tears. Pastor Dean was patient (my husband was a little emotional) and full of smiles and guidance. Donna is a fabulous photographer! I have a big smile on my face as I write this review. Thank you Pastor Dean!

Pastor Dean and his lovely wife Donna are the best! He was quick and very responsive and was able to accommodate our rehearsal with no problems at all. I love how he made the ceremony very personal for us. He was above and beyond what we could have asked for. Thank you!

Pastor Dean officiated at my daughter's beach wedding. He was on time and prepared for both the rehearsal and ceremony. We selected him because we wanted a meaningful ceremony and he delivered. His dear wife Donna, sent me my first set of pictures from the ceremony. I would highly recommend Pastor Dean.

Pastor Dean was awesome!! He and his wife are so friendly and we could not have picked a better officiant! Everyone has said our ceremony was beautiful and we would not been able to have such a great ceremony if it wasn't for Pastor Dean. All of the personal touches that he put into it really made our day! Even though we did not know him before, he and his wife personally met with us in order to get to know us so the ceremony could be personal and to our taste. We really enjoyed working with them and would recommend him to anyone!

Pastor Dean did an absolutely wonderful job officiating our marraige!! He has a warm and welcoming demeanor that made our family and friends feel at ease and conducts a very heart-felt and meaningful ceremony. I would reccommend his services to any future bride without any reservation!!

Pastor Dean and his wife Donna are absolutely wonderful! They really took the time to get to know us, and even included a special memorial portion of the ceremony for family members that we had lost. Our guests were very impressed with Pastor Dean and loved the uniqueness of the wedding. Donna took so many beautiful photographs for us as well. Thank you so, so much for making our day so special!

Pastor Dean and his wife were wonderful. Anytime I had a question, he was available to answer it. We had an outside wedding and there was a hurricane coming so I had to change several things about the wedding several times. Pastor Dean was very flexible and went with the flow. He had great ideas to help us include our daughters. The wedding was perfect, we could not have asked for anyone better. Thank you!

Pastor Dean was WONDERFUL! He graciously invited us to his home for our first meeting where he outlined possibilities for our upcoming ceremony as well as gave us great advice we hadn't even thought of! He was very responsive in our communications with him and patient as we groped our way through decisions. The day of our wedding he arrived early and his sweet wife, Donna, helpfully organized the milling people to where they needed to be. He used what he had learned about us in the ceremony which provided a really personalized ceremony that everyone loved. Guests all agreed that 'he's great!', "I could hear all the way in back", and best of all, I think, "his sparkling eyes really show he loves what he does". We have since watched our wedding video many times and every time we enthuse that Pastor Dean was the best decision we made about our special day. His presence that day made our ceremony the best we could ever ask for.

We discovered Pastor Dean online, after reading several amazing reviews about him. After our first phone conversation with him - we knew he would be perfect for our wedding! We loved his upbeat personality. He incorporated personal information about us into the ceremony which made it very special. Pastor Dean and his wife Donna are kind, welcoming and organized. We would highly recommend Pastor Dean for your wedding!

Pastor Dean was wonderful. My husband and I are from Illinois, so it's not always easy to find someone from a distance. I went with Pastor Dean based on all the great reviews about him. He was very quick with emailing me any information. He had my husband and I fill out out information so that he could get to know us. We also spoke on the phone. On the day of our wedding, he and his wife, Donna, arrived to marry us. They were both very understanding when we changed our location to a more secluded spot. The ceremony was beautiful. It was nice that he personalized it to fit us. God is very important to my husband and me, so we loved having Pastor Dean perform our wedding. Donna took pictures, and we were happy to receive them very quicky. Pastor Dean and Donna are amazing people, and it was a pleasure to have them as part of our little ceremony.

Pastor Dean did a wonderful job at our ceremony, I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant in the Tampa/Florida area!

Pastor Dean was absolutely wonderful! I cannot say enough about his enthusiasm and passion for what he does.

My husband was in charge of finding an officiant for our ceremony (one of the very few jobs I gave him). After he found Pastor Dean he was so excited to tell me all about his conversation! He felt as if he was a great listener, inspirational, and loved that every picture of the wedding services he has listed - people are ALL laughing and smiling.

We wanted a small destination wedding with a lot of sentiment and meaning. Pastor Dean was more than able to provide that! My family thought he was wonderful and we were all laughing and smiling throughout the ceremony! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Pastor Dean was the perfect officiant for our wedding. Since the moment we met him he made us feel comfortable. He made our ceremony feel extra special and personalized. I highly recommend him to anyone getting married. He was great to work with.

Pastor Dean was absolutely awesome. He made our ceremony joyous and full of life. He has a great attitude and is very pleasant to be around. Very prompt in answering all questions we had and also used a questionaire to make our wedding ours. A highly recommended pick for any Style of wedding!

PASTOR DEAN IS GREAT. HIM AND HIS WIFE ARE SO KIND! PICKING OUT YOUR OFFICIANT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND I WOULD RECCOMMEND PASTOR DEAN TO ANY OF MY CLOSEST FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HE DID A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

We just had Pastor Dean be the officiant at our wedding. He and his wife Donna are very polite, professional and lovely people. Since our first meeting, we were very happy to have them officiate our wedding and be a part of our wedding day. We were glad that they were available and that they took the time to get to know us before the wedding. Pastor Dean incorporated things about us (from our first meeting) into the wedding ceremony and it made for a very special and beautiful memory for everyone. Thank you Pastor Dean and Donna for sharing our special day and making it awesome and memorable!

Rev. Dean A Ryder was absolutely amazing. Our ceremony was picture perfect. If anyone is looking for an officiant I would highly recommend Rev. Dean A Ryder. He will also do a mock of what you expect during your consultation so before you go with anyone, make an appointment to sit with him first. Once you do, you will not go with anyone else. Rev. Dean A Ryder is great in every way!

Pastor Dean did a fantastic job officiating our wedding! I was such a pleasure working with someone who loves what they do. Pastor Dean is a great listener and really took the time to get to know my husband and I and used this information to perform a wonderful ceremony.
We had to move out of state just before the wedding and it was a relief to work with someone that was so responsive, it really took a lot of stress off of the planning.

Pastor Dean wrote a beautiful ceremony for our wedding. Even though we lived too far away to visit and get to know each other before the ceremony, our emailing back and forth and the information sheet he asked us to fill out helped to create the best wedding ceremony I have ever seen. ( I am trying to be unbiased since it was my wedding, but seriously, it was a lovely ceremony.) He was great to work with.

We met Pastor Dean at a bridal show and knew right away he was the one for us. We loved his upbeat personality. He incorporated personal information about us into the ceremony which made it very special. Pastor Dean and his wife Donna are kind, welcoming and organized. We would highly recommend Pastor Dean for your wedding.

Can't say enough about Pastor Dean. We met him and his lovely wife Donna at a wedding that he officiated 2 years ago and sat with him at the same reception table. We hit it off right away and I knew that if I ever got married that he would be my officiant. We met with him and his wife a few months prior to go over the ceremony details and he made everything so easy. His delivery of our vows was impeccable. Wedding guests told me that it was the most hilarious ceremony, that made them cry as well! He and his wife even stayed for our reception :) I would highly recommend Pastor Dean Ryder to any bride!

Pastor Dean and his wife Donna are a pleasure to work with. Very organized, professional and caring. They were very accomodating with everything; the day of the rehersal they made it even during one the worst storms I can remember in Florida. The ceremony was funny, entertaining and very special. I highly recommend Pastor Dean.

DO NOT PASS ON PASTOR DEAN, HE'S YOUR MAN!!! My wife Melissa and i found Pastor Dean after a google search for officiants in our area. After reviewing many and interviewing few we picked Pastor Dean; he's professional, prepared, insightful, helpful, flexable, accessable and provided us with the perfect wedding ceremony. This man is what you need to impress your guests, we've had non-stop compliments on our ceremony.

Pastor Dean and Donna Thank you both,

John and Melissa

Pastor Dean Ryder personalizes every wedding and ours was no exception. His booming voice was perfect for our beach wedding. We are so happy we hired him for our wedding!

Pastor Dean Ryder was beyond what I had expected in an officiant. Him and his wife welcomed my fiancé and I into their home to get to know us. He attended the rehearsal even though he had another wedding planned for later in the day. He did an amazing job at the ceremony. We are very appreciative and thankful that he officiated our wedding.

Pastor Dean, It was such a pleasure meeting you and your sweet wife Donna! We can't thank you enough for agreeing to be the minister at our daughter's beach wedding! We are so pleased the Lord led us to you! You took time getting to know our daughter and her husband prior to the wedding and included many wonderful personal comments they each loved about the other...it was so sentimental that it made us smile and then sometimes cry. Your voice carried beautifully while reading the scriptures and throughout the ceremony. We are from out of state, so were concerned about finding the perfect minister. To us, the minister is a very important part of a wedding, so I hope all who read this rest assured that you are the perfect minister for their wedding too! Sincerely, Bill and Carol, Lynchburg,TN (Crystal and Daniel's 3/6/2011 Wedding)

Pastor Dean and his wife make a fantastic combination! They are good people who want to share their life with you and make your day special in the eyes of friends, family, and God. He does not judge nor lecture. I highly recommend Pastor Dean for your Wedding Ceremony.

Our experience with Pastor Dean was fantastic. We contacted him with short notice (less than a month) and he was able to help us by officiating our beach destination wedding.
From the very beginning, Pastor Dean and his wife were nothing short of amazing. We had a great meeting prior to our ceremony and were also able to have a small rehearsal. With the chaos that is my family, I was so happy with the ceremony and how well Pastor Dean did to make everyone feel a part of the special day. What I liked the best was that Pastor Dean was focused primarily on us as a couple and wanted to do whatever we were comfortable with. He made us laugh, he made us cry, and in the end.....it was a perfect ceremony. I would recommend Pastor Dean to anyone who wanted to get married in the Clearwater area. He was Amazing!

We loved Pastor Dean! He really tailored our ceremony to our family's customs and our beliefs! He made it really special. Our ceremony happened on a very windy day and we were glad we chose him because he is able to speak so loud and clear! He really took the time to get to know us and it made all the difference! I definitely recommend him!

Pastor Dean was phenomenal. He made our ceremony a truly memorable occasion. From the moment that my husband, Scott, and I met with Pastor Dean and his wife, Donna, at their home, we knew that we had found the person who would be a perfect fit for officiating our wedding ceremony. He is kind and considerate, and he made our ceremony unique and personal. I have received so many compliments on the ceremony in the short time since my wedding! I would recommend Pastor Dean to any future brides. In a sea of unknown officiants, Pastor Dean is a true gem.
His wife even took some fantastic pictures from our ceremony - and they emailed them to us the next day! That was such a great surprise and added touch that shows how thoughtful both Pastor Dean and his wife are.

Pastor Dean was great!!! We met him and his wife at their house months before our wedding. He used information from our meetng and some papers we filled out to make our ceremony personal and unique. Many people came up to me afterwards and said how beautiful the ceremony was.

We can not say enough good things about Pastor Dean Ryder. He is so laid back and easy going which really put us at ease. He really went the extra mile to make sure our wedding ceremony was about US. He always got back to us right away with any questions we had. He has a wonderful voice and everyone was able to hear him over the wind and the loud crashing waves, you can even hear him on our video even though you can't hear anything else but the wind and waves. He really seems to be a happy person and when you are in his presence you can't help but smile. You can tell that he LOVES what he does and that really makes the ceremony enjoyable. Everyone raved about him. His wife was wonderful as well and took lots of pictures for us. You just can not go wrong with Pastor Dean. 5 stars is just not enough.

Pastor Dean was just wonderful our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and Pastor Dean was always there to answer questions and help with whatever we needed. My new husband and I highly recommend his services you will not be disappointed.

Pastor Dean is absolutely fabulous! When we met with Pastor Dean he asked us to fill out an information sheet including information about ourselves and what we love most about each other. He then used this information during our ceremony. This made our ceremony very personalized and special. Pastor Dean was very easy to work with and was always available when we needed him.

Reverend Dean truly made our wedding ceremony special and memorable. He ensured that God's love and our love for each other were reflected in his comments and actions. I spoke to multiple reverends before making my selection. Many came across like they were selling a commodity or were non-personable. I chose Reverend Dean because he showed a genuine concern for the ceremony and the inclusion of God, plus he wanted to know and understand us as a couple before officiating our wedding. He displayed principals and values that we greatly admired. Our friends and family still rave about about him. I strongly encourage potential couples to contact Reverend Dean and get to know him. He was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We can't say thank you enough.

Pastor Dean did a fantastic job with our wedding ceremony. He made it so personal and beautiful. He responded to every email quickly and afterward, we received our marriage certificate in th email the Thursday after our wedding! His wife is so sweet and took some beautiful pictures at the wedding, which they sent to us.

Pastor Dean was incredibly helpful and made our wedding day extra special!!!! He and his wife Donna are extremely polite and we couldn't have asked for a nicer and more beautiful wedding ceremony. We definitely recommend Pastor Dean to officiate your wedding!!!!

Pastor Dean and his wife were awesome. They invited us to their lovely home and got to know us for a couple of hours. There ceremony was exactly what we wanted. Pastor Dean speaks very clearly and has a strong prominent voice. His appearance is great and he seems to truly enjoy his work. We asked him to keep the ceremony short and he did just that yet did not miss anything. He even worked with us on our puppy ring bearer. Pastor Dean had pics of our wedding on his website very quickly too. The wedding license was sent in promptly as well. A great officiant for any wedding.

When Scott and I first met Pastor Ryder and his wife Donna, we know that they were very special people. Pastor Ryder has a lot of experience and he addressed all of my questions and concerns right away. He did a wonderful job at our wedding!! He even contacted us after the wedding!!

Wonderful! Pastor Dean was the perfect officiant for our wedding ceremony. My husband and I were looking for an ordained minister for our outdoor wedding to ensure a religious blessing. Pastor Dean delivered a beautiful ceremony that was individualized for us. We will never forget it.

Pastor Dean impressed us from the first contact that we had with him. He was very accessible and quick to respond, and he and his wife were perfect hosts when we had the pleasure of meeting with them at their home. They truly were interested in getting to know us and delivering the perfect ceremony for us. And, his wife Donna took beautiful pictures for us that we were able to view the day after our wedding. We highly recommend Pastor Dean to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding.

Rev Ryder and his wife Donna made our wedding just perfect. From the sand cermony, wonderful sermon, and just overall professionalism. We are delighted we found him to be part of our day.

Pastor Dean turned out to be the perfect officiant for our day. He is very accessible by e-mail and phone, and very quick to respond either way. My hubby and I went over to his home for a consultation reagarding the ceremony. He and his wife Donna were the perfect hosts. They took time to get to know us, and Pastor Dean explained the ceremony in detail (with options so we could personalize it).
My entire family commented that the ceremony couldn't have been any better. They were impressed at Pastor Dean's delivery and of the content itself. And Donna took quite a few pictures for us, too. They are both amazing and wonderful people.

We live in Syracuse, NY and planned our wedding in Clearwater Beach from home. We found Pastor Dean Ryder online and called him because of his positive reviews. We are so glad we did. He and his wife are very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They were prompt in answering all of our questions by phone and email, and made us feel very comfortable by the time we met when we arrived in Florida. The personalized ceremony was unforgettable, and Pastor Dean was just great. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get married in the Tampa area.

Pastor Ryder was simply amazing. He helped us integrate a Scottish tradition in our beach wedding and gave us a few VERY useful tips about what to do during the ceremony. His calm powerful voice carried over the wind & surf without a mic and he integrated pieces of our personality into the ceremony as well.
He was fantastic and you'll definitely feel more married after one of his ceremonys :)

Absouletly amazing! The best service ever!

My wife Jamie and I cant say enough about Pastor Ryder and his wife Donna and would highly recommend them for any service. Jamie and I are catholic and had recently moved and were unable to join a parrish in time. The pastor allowed us to share our concerns about the wedding and with advice help us pull it all together. Everybody who attended felt so comfortable with the way the wedding was presented. Between Pastor Ryders guidance, heart, personality and his phenominal voice we are forever greatful that Pastor Ryder married us.

Pastor Dean (and his wife) were so nice to work with for our wedding and he was very flexible about our rehearsal time and location. The ceremony was beautiful, just enough religion but not too much, which was exactly what we were looking for. We would recommend Pastor Dean for officiant services!

Rev Ryder was absolutely wonderful. He and his wife, Donna, are two of the kindest people my wife and I have ever met, let alone worked with. He was great with leading us through the ceremony, from what to expect to ideas on how to be more creative. He had beautiful words to share with our family during the ceremony as well. I could not think of a better person to unite two loving people than Rev Ryder. Thanks again.

Pastor Dean and Donna Ryder are so wonderful! They are both very calm and easy to get along with. The first time my husband and I met with them at their home in Dunedin, we left feeing like we had known them for quite a long time. We are both so glad that we chose Pastor Dean to preform our wedding ceremony and bless our reception. We really enjoyed the comments he added in about things we had discussed at an earlier meeting--it really made our ceremony OURS, and we will remember that forever.

We highly recommend Pastor Dean!!

Pastor Dean and his wife Donna were a joy to work with and we were so happy that we chose them. We met with them both about a month before our wedding to discuss our visions for the wedding. They are both so warm and made us feel very comfortable. Pastor Dean did a great job at our ceremony and we received so many compliments on him. Thank you Pastor Dean!

Pastor Dean and his wife Donna are an absolute blessing! Our wedding was beautiful. They provided us with exactly the ceremony we were looking for and at short notice. They made us feel like we have had a relationship with them for years. Pastor Dean spoke so eloquently and from the heart, we are very grateful to have found them!

Pastor Dean made my wedding ceremony exactly what I had alway imagined! Right from when we met with Pastor Dean and his wife, Donna, my fiance and I both felt very comfortable and knew it would be great. He not only offered us choices for vows and readings, but he also added his own words about us and made it very personal, including our favorite things about each other. Everyone commented on how wonderful he was and that is was one of the best ceremonies they had ever been to! It made everyone laugh and cry and it would not have been the same without him. His wife even helped us with the coordinating and timing of everyone walking down the isle! (they were helpful all the way through and even came to the rehearsal even tough they weren't feeling well!!) Thank you Pastor Dean and Donna!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Pastor Dean and his wife, Donna!! We initially spoke with them at their home and spent a lot of time getting to know each other. This meeting allowed our ceremony to be very personalized and everyone raved about it! They arrived early to both the rehearsal and the wedding and were so sweet! They allow you to choose from several different readings, openings, and other parts to customize the ceremony to your preference. We HIGHLY recommend Pastor Dean!!!!!!!!!!!

What a memorable ceremony! Pastor Dean is comforting and wonderful in his ability to express a couple's joy!! We found him through the reviews on weddingwire and communicated with him via email and phone.

Pastor Dean welcomed us over to his house and we met him and his wife. He showed us the various weddings, broke down the ceremony for us, and shared many memorable stories from his experience. When we left, we had choices for a welcome message, scriptures, and vows, as well as a feeling of excitement!

Pastor Dean is very flexible and helped us to give it those special touches that would make it our ceremony.

As another review mentioned- his wife takes pictures for their website and they are are beautiful photos! Pastor Dean and his wife were full of joy and happiness for us and a comfort to work with!

I would highly recommend him for your wedding!!

Pastor Dean did a fabulous job at our wedding!!! Him and his wife Donna are wonderful people. They make you feel comfortable no stress involved. The information we gave him about each other was turned into a wonderful ceremony. All of our guests commented on the way Pastor Dean made the ceremony unique to me and my husband. I would recommend him to any future bride looking for an officiant!!!!-- Keli Harrelson

Pastor Dean is great!! We found him through the reviews on weddingwire and talked with him over the phone about his rates and availability. I had talked with another vendor but they weren't available or willing to attend the rehearsal and they cost a bit more. Pastor Dean attended both the rehearsal and ceremony.

I went ahead and booked him before we met in person. He invited my (now) husband and I over to his house and we met him and his wife. He showed us the various weddings he's done before and then asked if we were still comfortable with him. We said yes!

He provides options for you to select for the ceremony. At points, we didn't like some of the religious readings so we found other information online that he is more than willing to include in the ceremony. He is very flexible and recognizes that it's our ceremony.

A small bonus is that his wife takes pictures for their website and they are nice enough to send us a couple copies, which I wasn't expecting.

I would highly recommend him for your wedding!!

Reverend Dean A Ryder was absolutely wonderful. He took the time to get to know us which made our ceremony even more special. He performed a beautiful ceremony which was very heartfelt. The things he said were so touching and inspiring, it made most our guests tear up. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is getting married and wants more than just a generic ceremony and officiant. He is amazing : )

Pastor Dean was just incredible! From the very first contact hi and his wife took the time to be personal, get to know us, and truly officiat a wedding that reflected us! He was incredibly caring, catered to our desires and was true to his and our faith. We had so many compliments on the blend of modern vs. traditional, the formal and casual aspects and the serious vs. fun parts of the ceremony. It was truly the perfect wedding & I can't say enough about it!

Pastor Dean was extremely professional and prepared. He made our wedding day easy and perfect. I would recommend his services to anyone who wants a beautiful, professionally organized, and worry-free ceremony.

We planned our wedding in less than a month. Our biggest planning concern was finding an ordained Officiant who was both flexible to our schedule and capable of officiating our unique ceremony with very little time to prepare. Pastor Dean met all our expectations. He was congenial, flexible and very capable. We highly recommend Pastor Dean.

Pastor Dean was AMAZING. From the very beginning when we met with Pastor Dean and his wife Donna, they were extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home. The wedding ceremony was perfect and we received many compliments from our guests. We highly recommend Pastor Dean as we could not have asked for a better ceremony!! As a bonus, Donna takes great pictures and we received them in an email the day following the ceremony!! THANKS PASTOR DEAN AND DONNA!!!!

Pastor Dean is a very thoughtful officiant. He went out of his way to get to know us, and he made the ceremony very personalized for our special day. As a major bonus for us, he shared our love of hockey and even wore an orange tie under his robe to support our hometown team, the Flyers. We highly recommend Pastor Dean.

Our ceremony was wonderful. From our initial meeting, Pastor Dean came prepared with an outline of the ceremony and suggestions for all parts of it but still unique to us.

Thank you, Pastor Dean and Donna. It was a delight to meet you both and have you share in our day.

Pastor Dean was wonderful! We keep recieving compliments on our ceremony, thanks to Pastor Dean. Both he and his wife, Donna were an absolute joy to meet and work with, and I would recommend his services to anyone!!

It was such a pleasure to have Pastor Dean officiate our wedding! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding ceremony and we got so many compliments on it, thanks to Pastor Dean!

Pastor Ryder did a fantastic job officiating our wedding. He is a happy, pleasant, and caring man. He had great ideas for our wedding that we had never heard of before making our ceremony unique. He was available quickly and had great communication with my new wife and me. This made us feel very comfortable. I did little to prepare for the actual ceremony, he and his lovely wife did everything. They presented us with many options and we just picked what we wanted. I sincerely recommend Pastor Ryder. All the attendees made pleasant comments about how relaxing the ceremony felt and how much God and Love were included in the service. Thank you, Pastor Ryder - Kevin

-A & J

Pastor Dean was incredibly welcoming and open to let us personalize our ceremony. My family really enjoyed his service.

Thanks!

Pastor Dean was absolutely wonderful!! We had to book someone really quick because our original officiant cancelled on us. His wife was wonderful at getting us an appointment to meet with him. He was really professional and we felt really comfortable with him. He did a marvelous job during the ceremony and even did a sand ceremony with our kids at no extra charge. I would refer every bride to him because he was wonderful!

Pastor Dean was amazing to work with! He was very professional and let us choose our vows, scriptures, etc. He arrived early for both the wedding and rehearsal. I am so happy that Pastor Dean was available on my date!

The service was exceptional. It was very profound and thoughtful. Many people at the wedding commented very possitively regarding the officiant. It was a great experience.

Pastor Dean was amazing at my wedding. He is so sweet and the ceremony was so special with his words he used. I watch my video over and over and I am so pleased with the timing, formality, and happiness in his voice.

Pastor Dean was a great officiant for our ceremony and very accomodating to our needs. We were married outside in August and it can be very hot this time of year in Florida, we told him we wanted a short ceremony and he made it happen. It was everything that we wanted and he was great. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant.

Excellent! He was very easy to work with and did a fantastic job!! He made the wedding go smooth and I would definitely recommend him to anyone! Thanks again!

Rev Ryder was wonderful and professional. Our wedding ceremony was loved by everyone, he delivered our message with meaning and cheerfulness. My husband and I are truely blessed to have found such a wonderful person to bring our lives together as one.

We highly recommend Rev. Dean Ryder! I had zero worries about how the wedding ceremony was going to go, because he called us and let us know everything he was going to say. Our wedding ceremony was wondeful thanks to him. It was personalized just for us and was very professional. If you want one less thing to stress over during your wedding day, book him!

Pastor Dean was exceptional. The cost was great and he made sure that everything ran the way the my husband and I planned and wanted. I couldn't have been more pleased.

Pastor Dean and his wife Donna were wonderful. Worked with us on vows and aspects of the service we wished to customize. I would recommend them to anyone.

Pastor Dean was wonderful! My husband and I were very satisfied with his services. We met him in person about three months before the ceremony. Pastor Dean and his lovely wife welcomed us in their home, and really made an effort to get to know us! My husband and I felt very confortable and happy with his presence and decided Pastor Dean was perfect for our wedding! He performed our ceremony on April 26,2008. The ceremony was beautiful, and afterwards everyone commented on how wonderful Pastor Dean was! Many said they had never been to such a beautiful, touching ceremony! We were very pleased. Pastor Dean included a Sand Ceremony which everyone thought was so unique! We loved it. Pastor Dean is a wonderful man. My husband and I are now expecting our first child together, and We have asked Pastor Dean to prepare a ceremony for our baby, in dedication to God! We are very happy to have him once again be part of something so special in our lives!

Rev. Ryder and his wife were just wonderful! I enjoyed the fact that they took the time to get to know us and catered a wedding specific to our needs and requests.
