About

Meet From the Heart Ceremonies Wedding Officiant Dianne Patterson. I'm passionate about weddings, and I accept only one to two weddings a month so I have plenty of time to focus on writing and editing a highly personalized ceremony for those couples who want it. For couples with an elopement or intimate ceremony in mind, I'd enjoy being part of your special day with special pricing. Elopements and intimate ceremonies start at just $360.

Why From the Heart Ceremonies?
With extensive writing and public speaking experience, I craft and present ceremonies for memorable and stress-free experiences. Religious or non-religious, simple or intricate, I work with each couple to design the service that will bring them joy on their big day. I enjoy helping couples from all communities feel the beauty and serenity they deserve during their marriage ceremony.

Here's what one couple wrote about the first draft of their ceremony: "We LOVE what you have written, the ceremony sounds SO beautiful and we can't wait to hear it in person. Thanks so much for putting so much time in!"

Services Offered
I offer prewritten ceremonies to choose from, as well as original writing for complete ceremony customization. With enthusiasm and patience, I will help you through the entire process. My officiant services are avaibable for civil union, non religious, single religion, interfaith, vow renewal and rehearsal ceremonies.

Absolutely wonderful!

We LOVED having Dianne officiate our wedding! From our very first call, we knew Dianne was the officiant for us. We had only a little over a month to go before our wedding, and we didn't have anything specific in mind other than writing our own vows. Dianne worked with us on a beautiful ceremony and incorporated a lovely reading we selected. We would have been lost without her! After our ceremony, all of our guests were commenting on how wonderfully she spoke. We would recommend Dianne to anyone, she was truly a joy to work with and she'll make your ceremony incredible!

COVID took down the Justice of the Peace that we had hired for our daughter’s wedding. We had less than a week to find someone new. Dianne came to our RESCUE! She did a beautiful job!!!!

Beautiful! Amazing! Perfect!

Look no further! Words cannot even begin to express how pleased we were with our celebrant Dianne Patterson! Dianne did an incredible job with our wedding ceremony and was an absolute pleasure to work with. The ceremony she performed was so beautiful and absolutely perfect. She worked closely with us to customize a ceremony that was so “us”, getting to know us along the way and incorporating elements from both of our religions, backgrounds and experiences. It was amazing and something we will always look back on with fond memories and smiles. We truly are grateful and thankful to her for that. We had more than one guest come up to us and tell us that was the most moving and best ceremony ever! And we already had a couple of guests reach out to us and say they wanted her to perform their ceremony when they were ready to get married. There were lots of happy tears! Dianne was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant to create the perfect ceremony for their special day.
Cheers!
