Carmel Marriages

Awesome service that allowed us to focus on other things. wedding went off without any problems or issues.

Reverend Duda was truly the absolute best Officiant. He provided an excellent service filled with wonderful words of faith. I would highly recommend him to anyone who would want a wedding day to be remembered.

Rev. Duda was a pleasure to have as our officiant. We were more than pleased and satisfied with every aspect of our service. We would "highly" recommend him to anyone asking......

Rev. Duda officiated our wedding ceremony on July 16, 2011. From the beginning, he was wonderful and easy to work with. He sent us several vow options and allowed us to cut and paste to make the vows our own. We were able to plan the whole ceremony via e-mail. It truly was a great experience and he made what could have been something chaotic extremely smooth and pleasant. So thankful for Rev. Duda. He helped to make our wedding day even more special.

We had our wedding at Monterey Hyatt on beautiful California coast in March 2011. We were very pleased with the wedding officiating by Rev. Duda and thus giving a worthy 5-star rating across all categories here! We still didn't have a wedding officiant until two weeks to go before our wedding and we are glad to have found Rev Duda. There was no face-to-face meeting (partly due to our tight schedule) until the day of the wedding but our communications via email exchanges were more than adequate and responsive. It only showed another quality of Rev. Duda -- flexibility. He would be more than willing to customize the whole officiating experience to the needs of the couple. In our case, we wrote our own wedding vows and ceremony (aided by Rev's sample ceremonies provided to us), and Rev Duda handled it beautifully and masterfully when it counted! Rev Duda showed up early and on-time on the day of our wedding, absolutely graceful and gentlemanly. His professionalism was nothing short of classy. It was quite a sight to see Rev Duda awaiting for us walking down the isle! The ceremony was delivered perfectly--calm, slow, smooth, deep, spirited and engaging. As a result, we got a ton of compliments from our guests (especially our parents) for having Rev Duda be our officiant. Not to mention his resemblance to Clint Eastwood! To cap it all, we totally and wholeheartedly recommend Rev Duda for all the fellow couples who are still deciding on your wedding...

My husband and I got married out of town and had our entire wedding planned on line. We wanted our clergyman to be somebody we knew and have a more personal setting, but with the logistics we choose someone local to Carmel. Rev. Duda initiated the contact with us by getting to know our style and what type of a wedding we were looking for. He sent us sample ceremonies so we were able to choose the venue that best matched who we were and our personal style. Our wedding was personal and intimate and we had nothing but positive feedback from our guests regarding our ceremony. We loved our wedding day and wouldn't have changed a thing. I would highly recommend Rev Duda to our friends and family. We also joked about the fact that he resembles Clint Eastwood. =)
