Dean Merrill is very well organized and guides you through the marriage process in an easy way to understand. He took into consideration my religion as a catholic women during the ceremony.

Dean officiated my wedding in Santa Barbara and did such a wonderful job. He talked with my husband and me on the phone and got to know us in the weeks before the wedding while also walking us through the ceremony and making sure we were comfortable with everything in it. You can tell that he tailors each ceremony to the couple and makes it personal and special with just the right amount of humor and sweetness. So many guests told us that they loved the ceremony, and that it really captured our relationship and reflected our love for each other so well. He was so enthusiastic and made me really comfortable at the altar. I'd definitely recommend Dean Merrill!

My husband and I asked Dean to officiate our elopement on Point Dume in Malibu. Dean truly helped us be present and take in the gorgeous setting and deep emotions of the day. I could not recommend Dean more highly, he added beautiful personal touches to the ceremony and made us so appreciative of that moment. If I could give him more stars, I would!
