Your Atlanta WEDDING OFFICIANT/Ordained Minister
QR Code Link to This Post
My name is Craig Dane and I am an ordained minister/wedding officiant.
I live in Dacula and serve the Atlanta area.
It would be a pleasure and privilege to officiate your special day!
I do not discriminate against couples of any race, color, denomination or gender unlike others, unfortunately, on this site.
I see my title as a responsibility and a mandate to bring people, ALL people, together (we'll leave the judgments to your future mother-in-law :)
My goal is to serve you and your fiance' anyway I can to make your day the amazing event it deserves to be.
I have a theater background of many years that serves me well to bring life, warmth and sincerity to the all important words of your ceremony script whether you're eloping or having a formal ceremony!
I am open to anything that pleases the two of you re: dress, theme, location, formal/casual, length of service, music, etc.
I welcome your own custom vows, poetry or favorite passages or I can handle the entire proceedings so it is easy and stress free for you. We can go over any ceremony script details you may need by phone or email.
My typical rate is $225 depending on distance. I rarely ever need to attend a rehearsal as my role and duties are fairly straightforward and any ceremony details are easy to communicate. Fee includes all phone, text or email consultations.
**To reserve your date the non-refundable deposit is $50 to either my Venmo(CraigDane), CashApp($craigdane61) or Paypal(my email) account. With Paypal please add 2.9% to cover their fee.

"Craig was awesome. We called him on very short notice, like two hours before we needed someone and he had an hours drive and made it on time anyway. He was so professional and spot on. We greatly appreciate every little detail that we didn't have time to plan, he thought of it all.... thank you so very much...."

It was my pleasure Priscilla. I'm so glad I was able to rearrange my schedule and perform Sandra and Ricardo's ceremony with the same day request! I very much appreciate your kind words and am happy that you were all so pleased! Best wishes to all!

"Craig was amazing! Extremely professional. Kept us informed every step of the way. Suggested a great green space to do the wedding ceremony.He understood what we were looking for in the ceremony and even though I had no idea how this would go, he asked us a few questions and got everything right for the ceremony form that.
I appreciate the good heartedness, lightheartedness and most of all communication and sticking to timing and having professionalism and ease throughout our ceremony.
Craig fit us in in less than 18 hours from asking him.
Thank you Craig!!!…"
