    Calm, professional and helpful

    Dana officiated our wedding in Feb. 2024. She was a pleasure to work with! She helped to write and personalize our non-religious wedding ceremony and vows and did a great job with the ceremony. She was prepared and calmly guided us through what would have otherwise been a very stressful process. Absolutely recommend!

    Love Avows's reply:

    Susan,
    It was great working with the both of you! I was happy to have the opportunity to find meaningful and magical literary quotes for your vows and to provide the sound system so your music and beautiful words of love could be heard by your guests. Thank you for taking the time to post your review in multiple locations.
    Wishing you a lifetime of happiness,
    Dana

    Great job!

    Dana was great, she helped us with a beautifully written draft of the ceremony that almost brought us to tears when we first read it. She added so many personal touches to it! She was on time and made the ceremony very smooth. Not to mention the prices were very reasonable! I’d definitely recommend her!

    Love Avows's reply:

    Kayla,
    Thank you for your lovely review of my officiant services. It was a pleasure to work with you and it makes me very happy to know that you appreciate the personalized ceremony.

    It was my first time performing a ceremony at your spectatular venue. I especially loved all your unique guest involvement ideas!

    Wishing you a lifetime of happiness.

    Fondly,
    Dana

    Amazing officiant

    Dana was an amazing officiant! She was incredibly kind and patient the last few years and really made sure our big day went off without a hitch. She has a beautiful way with words and she made us feel very comfortable during the ceremony when we were anticipating being very nervous. Dana is a wonderful person and we can't recommend her enough!

    Love Avows's reply:

    Ethan,
    It was so fulfilling to finally see the two of you get married after the challenges life has thrown us all during recent times. Your day was magical and memorable and being part of it was a pleasure and an honor.

    Amazing and helpful

    She was able to capture all the little details that make us, us in our vows. She helped us through the vows as well even with us being nervous! She was amazing

    Thank you Alexis for your kind words. You both did a great job with your vows, I was happy to assist.

    Sweet & Professional

    On our Big Day, she ensured our calmness which made our event a huge success. Additionally, we included a Three Cord Ceremony and she was wonderful with her explanation to our family members that were not familair with that particular ceremony.
    Her questionnaire became essential to our vows, and with her openness to our suggestions and us to hers, the whole ceremony was wonderful.
    With her smile, anyone can feel that she truly enjoys being a part of an engaged couple about to take that final step.

    Love Avows's reply:

    Luis,
    Thank you so much for that detailed, thoughtful review. It was such a pleasure working with you and being the one to join you in marriage. Your home was a perfect setting for your ceremony and your friends and family warm and welcoming.
    Happiness always,

    Perfectly Unplanned

    Jose and I wanted to express our deepest thanks for all you did on Saturday to make our loosely planned ceremony unforgettable. If it hadn't been for your flexibility, quick and out of the box thinking, there is no telling what may or may not have happened that day. The Bunker was such a cozy and intimate setting. I never would have considered it and it was perfect!

    Love Avows's reply:

    Tianna,
    I'm so glad that we were able to have your ceremony in a dry location after the rainstorm rearranged the planned outdoor, park wedding. Luckily Foundation Coffee Co at the Bunker was kind enough to accomdate us at the last minute. After working in Ybor for many years, this venue was first in my mind when thinking about where to hold a ceremony and stay dry through the family photos. You and your family were all so positive and upbeat, so the last-minute switch didn't shake anyone up. Photographer, @CarolineThomasPhotography also handled everything with aplomb and expertise.

    I wish you and Jose a lifetime of joyful family gatherings and happiness.

    Dana, Love Avows

    Lovely Last Minute Elopement on the Beach

    Dana with Love Avows is an absolutely lovely human being and I got that sense from the moment we started messaging on Face Book. She captured exactly what we wanted with the ceremony (a last minute sunrise elopement with our feet in the sand on the Gulf of Mexico! Just us and our 2 dogs!), she helped us find our photographer, and was adventurous and flexible! The morning of we sent her different coordinates for the area of the beach we wanted to get married on, and she was totally game and still on time! I would highly highly recommend -- she gave my husband and I a beautiful ceremony for two men, and we will both cherish those moments for the rest of our lives! Highly highly highly recommend!

    Love Avows's reply:

    Garret,
    I had so much fun getting to know the two of you as individuals and as a couple. Writing the ceremony was pure joy as was performing it on the beach at sunrise with the two of you and your two pups. This experience will stay with me as one of the most enjoyable and touching ceremonies that I have ever performed. I wish you health and ever-lasting happiness in your marriage.
    Fondly,
    Dana

    Excellent ceremony

    I wanted to find an officiant that would fit my needs, for a short and sweet wedding ceremony at Hillsborough River State Park for mid March. I didn’t have to search far when I google searched in my area and as soon as I read the many reviews for Dana, I knew I’d found the right person. I searched no more and contacted her, hoping my wedding date would be available. I emailed her only at the end of January for a mid March wedding. Luck would have it, Dana was available and I booked her immediately. She was very helpful, great communication and quite nice. The day of my wedding ceremony, I had to push back the time due to inclement weather conditions, by a couple hours. I was so grateful at how accommodating Dana was in this. Meeting her on the day of our ceremony was reassuring, with her calm demeanor and soothing voice. She conducted our ceremony so beautifully, with presence and poise. Friends and family at the ceremony and via live steam, all loved it. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and for things to line up perfectly on short notice & with the weather conditions that morning. Thank you Dana 💕

    Love Avows's reply:

    Farah, what a wonderful review. Thank you for taking the time to write your kind words. It was a pleasure working with the two of you and I thoroughly enjoyed writing a ceremony about your personal love story.

    Personalized to the Max!

    Dana was amazing throughout the whole process. She took the time to write us a ceremony specific to us and our lives. We got so many compliments after the ceremony about how special and personal she made it. Highly recommend her.

    Love Avows's reply:

    Amanda, it was wonderful to work with you and a pleasure to create a ceremony that spoke to your relationship. Your delightful how-you-met story is one that will I will always remember. You both certainly hit a-hole-in-one when you found one another. Happiness always, Dana

    Amazing Officiant

    Dana was extremely professional and she responded to me within a timely manner. She created a beautiful ceremony based on the answers to the questions she gave me and my now husband to answer. I highly recommend her and have already given her information out to my friends who plan on getting married soon!! She truly made my wedding special and everyone at the venue said she was wonderful as well!

    Love Avows's reply:

    Alexa,
    Thank you for your wonderful words and the recommendation to friends. That is a sincere compliment! It was a pleasure to work with you and your husband.

    Great experience with Dana as officiant

    Our wedding was in Nov. 2021, and Dana was our officiant which couldn't have worked out any better. She was helpful throughout the entire process, helped us put together a great ceremony speech and provided everything we were hoping for on our wedding day. She was very easy to work with, super friendly, and communicated with us a lot leading up to wedding weekend. Overall my wife and I were very happy to have Dana play a part in our special day, she made it look easy and helped make our ceremony a memorable one.

    Love Avows's reply:

    Brad, thank you so much for taking the time to complete your amazing review of my services on so many platforms. You were wonderful to work with and I enjoyed meeting your family the day of the ceremony. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and love.
    Warm regards,
    Dana, Love Avows

    Very positive vibe during the ceremony

    Our wedding was postponed, however, we wanted to get married the same day as planned. Dana was available and promptly replied to my request. She was very helpful and easy to communicate with. She provided a very reasonable price for the ceremony and was flexible as well.

    She was wonderful during the ceremony and eloquent in her speech. I would certainly recommend her.

    Love Avows's reply:

    Hemant,
    It was my pleasure to work with the two of you. I was exceptionally moved by your dedication to one another and your touching vows. I hope you get to have the wedding of your dreams; you already have the bride of your dreams!

    Thoughtfully Crafted Ceremony Script

    Dana was the perfect officiant at our non-religious ceremony! She thoughtfully incorporated some of our songs lyrics into the ceremony script which was a wonderful surprise. We spent a lot of time picking the songs that meant most to us so it was so nice to have them as part of our ceremony. She was on time, professional, and very well spoken. She was very responsive when we asked for a copy of the script. She truly made our day very special!

    Love Avows's reply:

    Lauren,
    Thank you so much for your lovely review. I truly appreciate your taking time to do this. It brought me to my goal of 100 reviews!

    Writing your ceremony was loads of fun since music is important to me too. It is a moving force and it was such a joy to integrate meaningful lyrics into your vows. You both brought the day to a whole new level with your smooth dance number. I applaud you!

    Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

    Da Oglesby Wedding With Dana

    You would have thought she knew us personally for years the way she did our wedding service. I couldn’t have written it better from just a few short questions and I was last minute and gave her less than 2 weeks notice at that. Amazing job I would recommend no other THANKS DANA

    Love Avows's reply:

    Samuel,
    I can only write a great ceremony if the couple provides me with those details that make them unique. Your intense feelings for one another were "Perfect-ly" conveyed in your answers.
    Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness,

    Truly Amazing!

    We are beyond thankful that we hired Dana as our wedding officiant! She has been so helpful with our ceremony and rehearsal! She worked magic with her officiant speech and truly captured our life story to share with others. We had an elopement, Aug 2020 (due to COVID) and a big ceremony 6 months later, March 2021 and she was there for both!

    Love Avows's reply:

    Sveta,
    It was such a joy to join you in marriage...twice! You are both so genuine and your family is delightful. I loved getting to know you and I continue to enjoy seeing your sweet adventures on Instagram. I feel like a part of your "cute" extended family! Thanks for sharing the side by side ceremony photos. Happiness always! Dana
