GUEST




We found Diane right on this website and from reading reviews from other couples, we knew she had to be our Officiant! She had so many ideas and suggestions to combine with our own and with that, she helped us make our own perfect ceremony. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how unique and wonderful our ceremony was! Diane helped us make it special and I would suggest her to any couple that is searching for an officiant! Thank you, Diane! We had a blast and will always remember our day! - Britney & Brad

We could not have found a more perfect individual to perform our wedding ceremony, than Diane! Our ceremony was a beautiful collaboration of our ideas and requests with Diane's unique input, guidance, and passion for what she does. Diane provided us suggestions of many unique segments to include in our ceremony and individualized the ceremony to fit us. With Diane's guidance we were able to create a beautiful, memorable, unique wedding ceremony that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Beyond Diane's art of what she does, her passion, laughter and joy made our entire experience with her so enjoyable!! We couldn't say thank you enough!

Diane was incredible! She kept in contact with us from the moment we booked with her until right before the ceremony. Her personality is so sweet and loving and I felt like she knew us from the moment we met her! I cannot tell you how many people came up to us after the ceremony and said how beautiful it was. And it was all thanks to her! We knew we wanted a fun, but romantic ceremony and it definitely was! She was so professional and she was a great public speaker. After the wedding she sent us our whole ceremony on beautiful paper so that we can keep it forever. It was such a nice surprise to come home to after the honeymoon!! I would recommend her for sure!

We contacted Diane with the intent of getting eloped within a month. Diane was able to fit us in three weeks after we first contacted her. She was there for us every step of the way. Helpful suggestions and experienced advice through-out the entire process. The ceremony was truly beautiful and ended with a rainbow over the lake. We would recommend Diane to everyone we know. Thanks Diane for being a part of a truly magical day. Love, Andy & Jena

Once in a fairy tale life the magic comes from the universe and signs are given .. Why? To say this is a wonderful moment.. Enjoy ! We did.. money doesn't buy what took place that day.
I would and do call them "Angel Things".. This has happened at only a few of my ceremonies.. I always say "Thank you to all that is life for them"...
You both .. all of us there were blessed with seeing them.. The butterfly coming so near knowing Jena loves butterflys and the rain pouring on us all as I pronounced you husband and wife..
My saying now "dance in the rain with your lovely bride.." and you did.. {What joy we all giggled and laughed in the rain!}
Rain is a blessing on a wedding day.
The butterfly
The Rainbow..
Your enthusiastic love for each other.
Dana and I are blessed and honored to be with you all..
Truly , our journey will continue somehow I know this..
Much love to you both on this journey..
I am always here for you!

Melani and Andrew
A lovely wedding with family by the water. When you shared you weren't exchanging rings and were going to get a tattoo. I felt having you use a feather quill pen to mark each others hand was the touch needed to make this moment one you will always remember.
With the wind blowing and your lovely family standing beside you it was a very amazing ceremony. I can say holding the ink well and doing this was my first time. I truly enjoyed it.
Be well and many blessings in your life to you both..
GUEST




We probably weren't the most responsive couple in the world and the fact that Diane stayed on top of us was great. Diane provided some really good segments to get us started in developing our ceremony. We ended up using some of our own material and combined it with some of Diane's material. We didn't micromanage the entire process, so when it came time for the ceremony, she added her own flair to it that turned out to be wonderful.
Overall, she did a fantastic job keeping us on schedule and adding her own flair to it all.

Smiling here reading your lovely review Kristen.. Life is busy and yours and Alex's is.. Since your contacting me in January we have together created a moment you both and all remember..
I sensed your nervousness as you walked towards me with your fathers on each side of you..
As I touched your and Alex's hand I could feel you calm. It is what I do and love.
This day was beautiful you were elegant and your amazing husband beside you let me see your going to have a lovely life together..

Diane was absoutely wonderful. She was very easy to work with and flexible throughout the process. All three of us worked together to craft a ceremony just the way we wanted it. We received countless compliments from our guests telling us how great the service was. I would highly recommend Diane.

I will remember all my ceremonies yet yours had such a wonderful extension of all your family. From the beginning to the end with the surprise appearance of the Scottish Bagpipes.. Thank you for finding me it was truly an honor to be a part of your new chapter...
Always here for all of you !
GUEST




Diane was a blessing! I knew immediately when she answered the phone that she was the perfect fit. She was instantly interested in our story, our plans, our families, etc., and was eager to help in any way possible. Diane was happy to take our vision and turn it into reality. My husband and I wanted our ceremony to be centered around family and Diane helped us to make that happen! She made everyone feel comfortable and made sure we were smiling and laughing the entire time... it was a celebration after all! I would absolutely recommend Diane time and time again!

We together created a lovely wedding for you to always remember. I must say your smile walking up the isle with your father. Well it lit the chapel ! You are truly lovely Abbey and your husband adores you!
I see a wonderful life for you both , filled with laughter and moments that take your breath away.. Maybe even a little one in a few years.. {smiling here} Let me know and lets stay in contact.
I don't truly see you needing me yet I am here for the joy as well..
So don't hesitate to share the joy..
That is what I asked to be put in your rings when I put them in your hands..
Always
Diane
Update: Abbey and Ryan are expecting their first little one.. I am smiling since five of my couples became pregnant within a few months of their lovely wedding....

Diane was a great officiant. It is easy to tell that she loves her job. She worked with us to create a custom ceremony and helped us make a romantic ceremony. She was responsive via email and arrived on time for both the rehearsal and ceremony. She was dressed in a nice robe and had almost everyone crying during the ceremony. A nice touch was that she printed our ceremony readings on nice paper and had it sent to our room after the ceremony for a keepsake. She also copied our marriage application, signed by our friends, for a keepsake. I would recommend Diane to anyone :)

Every moment was special creating your special day. I enjoyed the laughter and playfulness you and your husband had together. I just know your life will be fun! Don't ever loose that ingredient.. it is lost so often in many marriages. So we started your journey with laughter and happy tears ...It just couldn't have been a better moment for you.. for all who were there.! I will always remember... Diane
GUEST




Diane has such a wonderful heart and really puts her all into making your ceremony beautiful. She stayed on top off all the tasks and was well prepared. Several people told me throughout our wedding day how wonderful and unique our wedding ceremony was! I would recommend Diane without hesitation.

My husband and I loved the ceremony put together by Diane. She knows what she is doing, and we never had any doubts. She was flexible with what we wanted and always stayed in touch regarding the progress of our ceremony. She let us pick our own readings and segments of the ceremony, which was important to me. I felt our ceremony was a true reflection of ourselves. Everyone at our wedding said the ceremony was so beautiful, touching, and emotional. This wouldn't have been possible without Diane and her suggestions. I will definitely recommend Diane to couples in the future.

It was a beautiful day...The huge birch tree was a perfect place to begin your journey. When they had to trim its branches a bit I knew it was perfect to give you a small branch with your ceremony.
I am so pleased to have met you both..
Thank you for your lovely comments and for finding me!

Thank you Diane for making our day so special and so enjoyable! It is clear Diane put a lot of care and consideration into creating our beautiful ceremony. She worked with us to include elements that we wanted to incorporate into it, was flexible with last minute changes and encouraged us to reach our goals along the way. I cannot count the number of compliments we received from guests at our wedding about how wonderful the ceremony was, many of them saying it was the best one they have ever witnessed. We highly recommend Diane to anyone looking for a ceremony they can truly make their own!

Diane recently officiated our wedding ceremony in Skaneateles, NY and we really enjoyed working with her. From the moment I contacted her, she was always responsive and had wonderful ideas which helped us make a truly unique ceremony. On the day of the wedding, she did a fantastic job officiating and several guests commented on how lovely the ceremony was. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant. Thank you so much for everything Diane!!

Diane is a wonderful, thoughtful officiant. From the first time we met her, we could tell that she loves marrying couples. She said she would work with us every step of the way to create a unique ceremony that would represent us, and that is exactly what she did! She gave us gentle reminders when we fell behind on planning and was always responsive via email or phone. On the day of the wedding, she was calm, prepared and professional. She exuded enthusiasm and made us laugh and smile on more than one occasion. In the end, she helped us create such a special ceremony and we are so thankful that we found her. Many of our friends and family commented on how wonderful she was, and one of our friends that is getting married in September wants to see if she is available for their wedding! I would recommend Diane to anyone looking for a personalized, unique experience that you will remember forever.

We were most pleased with how our wedding turned out. We searched to find the "perfect" officiant and we most definitely succeeded! Diane was a perfect match for us. We met prior to our wedding and discussed what was important to both of us and the results were outstanding. Diane took what we discussed and tweaked our wedding to perfection! Thank you Diane, we can not thank you enough for making this day for us and our family so memorable. We would highly recommend you to anyone, anytime!! Always, Yolanda and Sally

I am so happy you included me in your special day!! I was quite pleased I had brushed up on my Spanish a bit.. not bad for an Irish, Iroquois Lass..
The energy in the room when the ceremony took place was so lovely. I will always remember you both... Say hello when you come from Texas to New York again.. I would love to see you..

Diane was wonderful! She was in constant contact with us throughout the whole wedding process. I had so many guests tell me that Diane was great and the ceremony was so personal and different.
Its nice to have someone conduct your wedding who LOVES to do weddings! :)
GUEST




We feel so happy and lucky that we have chosen to work with Diane for our wedding ceremony. She created a ceremony for us full of love and happiness. Diane is very open-minded that she created a segment of unity sand for us. She is also every efficient. She sent our documents right after the wedding so that we received our marriage certificate within a week of our wedding! We highly recommend her to future brides!!!
GUEST




Diane was absolutely wonderful. She really captured our personalities and style in the ceremony she put together for us. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and what a great job Diane did.
Thank you Diane for making our day so fabulous!

Words cannot express how special Diane made our ceremony. She was thoughtful, caring, and really tuned into what we expected of our ceremony. After the ceremony our guest were amazed on how much the ceremony was "us".
GUEST




Diane was in constant contact with my husband and I from day one and she kept us guided and focused on the tasks we needed to accomplish to complete for the ceremony. We greatly appreciated her flexibility during our time of planning because we were both experiencing choas in our schedules.
The ceremony was amazing in every way imaginable. Diane truly has a gift and my husband and I are blessed that we had stumbled upon her. I have been to a wedding since ours and I'm certain we will never view one the same after having the pleasure of her officiating our special day. Everything about her style, delivery and knowledge deserves a five plus! You'd be a fool to look any further!
GUEST




Diane was absolutely great as our officiant! The ceremony was beautiful and I'm glad that we decided to go with Diane for our special day. Everything went so smoothly from start to finish and Diane was patient, understanding and responsive throughout the whole process of planning our perfect ceremony. Thank you Diane!
GUEST




Diane was the best thing that could have happened to my wedding day! She was so involved since the first day we spoke. I was able to personalize the ceremony to make it perfect for us. There was no pressure it was nothing but fun! Everyone that was there could feel the love all around us. It was absolutely wonderful! I wouldnt recommend anyone else :)
GUEST




Diane was amazing ... she made my best friend's wedding the best that it could have been. I love her attitude and love for what she does. She has such encouraging words and keeps in contact. She would be my first choice!
GUEST




Diane was absolutely wonderful! She made herself available in advance to make the ceremony personal for us and to make sure we were comfortable and knew exactly how the ceremony would play out. I would definintely recommend Diane as an officiant to anyone, it really made a difference to us to have an officiant that likes doing weddings not someone who does it because they have to!

About Wedding Officiant DB. Lorgan
Diane B. Lorgan
Spiritual Minister / Wedding Officiant
I am a non-denominational ordained minister
“I give all I am to make this an amazing moment "
First please know this.....
This is your day... what you decide is what I will do.
Your ceremony
Wedding or Vow Renewal
I am very creative and playful so laughter between us will be very common.
Each wedding is unique and different in so many ways.
I will begin sending many many ideas that I have created for a variety of ceremonies.
My reviews share just a glimmer of how fun my weddings are and what I put of myself into them.
I love it !
Also included are many additional segments :
Sand ceremonies, Unity candle, Wine ceremonies the selections go on and on.
I want you to remember my words
"YOUR DAY YOUR WAY"
Any ideas you have discovered or would like me to research I shall.
I will send many suggestions via email and phone conversations for you to take your time and examine.
We together make each word each moment memorable.
My main comment to all my couples is.. “Let’s have fun”
Everything will be perfect
I will put all I am into this moment for you.
At the rehearsal
I organize the bridal party and positioning of everyone.
We will "basically" walk through the ceremony with all involved.
Why? ~
To make this perfect for you..
I want you to put your thoughts on just smiling and on your wedding day.
It is what I do best .. "make you smile"
Again congratulations to you both for the upcoming journey you have decided to make.
After the ceremony
I will require your license at the rehearsal and your designated two people to witness
The paperwork, I will send to the clerks office and provide you with a copy of it for your memory book.
*********
My fee is very reasonable for the rehearsal the ceremony and all the hours of preparation.
A nonrefundable deposit of $75 is required to put your wedding in my wedding journal.
I travel within a 40 mile radius of Penn Yan, New York
although
I will travel further to be with you, with no additional charge “for my service”.
"For further distance "
This is what is done.
New York State Weddings:
The bride and groom provide me with a safe room to stay in the night before the wedding at their expense. The one night or two night stay if needed. Would be $100 per night. Most motels and hotels are much more than this but I pay the rest, so I can be with you both.. This is paid with the deposit so I can make reservations for the night of the rehearsal using my credit card.
This allows my presence for the rehearsal and the day of your wedding with no concern of traveling a long way. In certain circumstances due to wedding being later in the day a late checkout will be needed.
This is necessary for my having a place to get dressed before your wedding ceremony.
My presence will be at the wedding site one hour prior to the ceremony.
Out of state weddings
Accommodations as above, and flight paid for by couple.
I travel to Wilmington NC twice a year. If you have a wedding at the time I am visiting flight expense will not be necessary.
Nor will accommadations.
All other areas I am licensed to perform ceremonies all states but South Dakota.
They have special requirements for marriages...
There are a few that require you to be a resident of their state.
I will be with anyone and distance will not keep me if all things are obtained..
**********
I know how special this day is for you and it is an honor for me to be with you
Feel free to call or write with any questions.
Everyone comments how lovely my ceremonies are. That is the best gift to me…along with your smiles

FAQ for Wedding Officiant DB. Lorgan
From the beginning to the completion you are very involved in this process. I spend hours being as creative as I can. As an author I understand the essence of words. We all together will create the most amazing ceremony that you will love, and all those who attend will as well..
Yes, I truly must admit I have been known to make grown men shed a tear or two.. How fun that is...
I will travel further to be with you. My rate is the same to whether your 5 minutes from me or 2000 miles.
If the distance is further than 40 miles
The couples provide at their expense a one night stay in a local hotel or motel for me to be in the night before the wedding.
I will come to you no matter the distance. You pay for all accommodations and I will not hesitate to come.
This way I can focus on them and the ceremony and not driving lengthy distances the night before or the day of.
Give me a call and lets talk. It is hard to get the sense of who someone is by reading an advertisement.
607-382-6971 or email DBLorgan@yahoo.com
We will arrange for a phone conversation or a meeting for us to discuss your wedding further.
Let's have fun and make this a wonderful moment for you.
