PassageWays

I can't begin to tell you how impressed and pleased we were to have such a wonderful experience with Diane from PassageWays. First of all... to be available the day after Thanksgiving was great. Her communication and thoroughness on such a short notice was just what we needed to keep us at ease. Coming from out of town and planning everything online was difficult enough but Diane reassured us everything would be OK. It was better than OK, it was terrific.Thank you Diane for everything! You're the best!Scott & Katrina

Diane was the perfect officiant! Leading up to the ceremony, she knew how to balance our individual needs with guidance about some best practices. She was kind, responsive and patient. She helped us craft a ceremony that met the needs of our different backgrounds and beliefs. However, she really shined on the day of the wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and we had so many people come up to us and ask where we found Diane. Many people even remarked it was the nicest ceremony they had ever attended (even better than their own!). We owe so much to Diane and I we would recommend her to anyone!

I found Diane on "myportlandwedding.com," and felt she would probably be a good match for my husband and I. All of our communications were through email since we do not live in Portland, and she was always prompt and very professional. She provided us with lots of different information that we could use in our ceremony, as well as in our self written vows, which helped us to craft something very personal and special. The ceremony went off without a hitch, and everyone commented on how moved they were. Diane was very supportive, flexible, and professional. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!!

We are so blessed that we had the Rev. Diane Wuesthoff to officiate at our wedding! Although my husband and I don't have much money, we were able to pull together frequent flier miles so that Diane could come from Portland to New York to be our celebrant. I have known Diane for six years and just knew that she would be the perfect person to help us plan and celebrate our wedding. In the planning... Diane carefully walked us through many options for our ceremony and helped us find and craft a ceremony that was well suited to our spirituality and to our relationship. Through our conversations, Diane was able to help Steve and me realize the significance of our relationship. Through her guidance and wisdom we were able to see the aspects of our relationship and each other which feed us and the other aspects which are challenges to work on. With her help, we crafted vows that will help our relationship to grow and survive during difficult times. I have always known Diane to be a very inspiring and wisdom filled person. She also is a master of the English language and her words are filled with heart. Diane can help you find just the right words to say what you are feeling. During the ceremony, Steve and I felt totally supported by Diane. She created a beautiful sacred space for all of us and helped us to truly become aware of the holy bond that we were forming with one another. Although my family is used to traditional Catholic Weddings, Diane made them all feel comfortable and united in the new love we were celebrating.We were so happy with the way that she directed the flow of events. Throughout the ceremony, she spoke beautifully, clearly and lovingly. I believe the highlight of every wedding is the ceremony and Steve and I feel especially blessed that we could have such a warm, divinely inspired, strong and loving person to be our officiant. I would highly recommend Diane as an officiant at your wedding. She made our day so meaningful! We can't ever thank her enough.

From the first email correspondence, I knew we had found the perfect person to officiate our wedding. As it turns out, she did sooo much more than that. At our first meeting, Diane spent several hours with us, learning about us and our wishes for our ceremony. We wanted something personal but didn't know where to begin. Diane gave us lots of wonderful material to look over, and together we created a beautiful, very personal, ceremony. She was always available to us and help with anything. As any bride does before her wedding, I was nervous. Diane kept reminding me to just keep breathing :) She was there for us and we certainly felt her commitment to us! Many people commented on our ceremony and the lovely messages and vows! It truly was a magical day. Diane was amazing, and we would highly recommend her!!!!!I appreciate you reminding me to take deep breaths and enjoy this moment.

Diane officiated at my friends' wedding before I was even engaged, and years later I still remember some of her words. When it came time to plan my own wedding, I didn't have to think twice about my officiant! Diane is an expert at crafting a truly unique and memorable wedding speech. This is not some out-of-the-box, generic speech- Diane will work with you in the months leading up to your big day to identify special passages from poetry, philosophy, literature, songs... really anything... that speaks to your ideals and values. We were extremely pleased with her services, and I cannot recommend her enough!

My husband (fiance at the time :o) ) and I found PassageWays online and made an appointment with Diane. She was very welcoming and helpful with the wedding process. We were given many wonderful options for vows, as well as the option for pre-wedding counseling that she offers to all couples she officiates. The line of communication that was kept was AMAZING! Very quick with responses. Incredibly helpful! Her services gave our wedding that "something extra"! Our guests also comented on how great she was!I would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone looking for a PERFECTLY AMAZING wedding experience!

Diane was wonderful! She really worked with us to craft the perfect ceremony for us as a couple. I felt supported as we moved into our new life together. The big day went just fine with her help. We felt such a connection with her that we've even kept it up five years later. We highly recommend Diane for your wedding or other celebrations.
