Your Ceremony Matters

We are so glad we chose Rev. Dalton for our wedding in November 2011--his service truly captured who we are. Before the wedding, he took the time to get to know us at meetings in his office and on phone calls… asking questions, listening to our stories.With eloquence, warmth, and wit at the ceremony, Rev. Dalton reflected on the meaning of marriage. We were touched by how fully he included our family and friends, especially with the passing of the ring. Our guests all talk about how his words have inspired them to appreciate their partners anew and take joy in every moment of their lives.

I highly recommend Rev. Dalton. We got married on 10/29/2011 and we are still receiving compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was. On our first phone conversation he asked a lot of questions. He really tried to get to know us and our families. About 3 weeks before the wedding, he sat down with us and went through everything with us so we would feel comfortable on our special day. He incorporated a lot of love and family unity in our ceremony. He really personalized everything for us. I would highly recommend him. You will be happy you went with him.

Rev. Dalton is simply fantastic!! He is truly enthusiastic about making a ceremony tailored to the couple and is beyond inclusive of all those sharing in the event. We first met with Rev. Dalton at his office in Sonoma to discuss our ceremony at Old St. Hilary's Church in Tiburon, and to get a general sketch of how the event would unfold. He provided us with a wealth of suggestions and options to choose from with regard to the exchanging of the rings, the vows, blessings, readings, etc. He asked questions about our backgrounds, our families, our guests and our lives together to get a real feel for the two of us. We exchanged emails with Rev. Dalton and his assistant, Jennifer, and did a skype call about 2 weeks prior to the wedding to review the ceremony.Throughout all of the steps leading up to the ceremony, Rev. Dalton provided a genuine warmth, charisma, sweetness and was so witty! We knew we were in wonderful hands. The morning of the ceremony, he even called me to see how I was doing! The ceremony itself was beyond words- truly heartfelt and beautiful. Rev. Dalton was eloquent and made a point to make everyone in the room feel a part of the celebration. You could honestly feel everyone hanging on his every word as he relayed lovely sentiments on marriage and guided us through the vows and exchanging of the rings. He somehow made everyone in the room tear up, reflect well, and laugh heartily all at once!! This whole experience was truly spiritual and we can't thank Rev. Dalton enough. He is a lovely person who cares so deeply. Congratulations to you and enjoy your special day with Rev. Dalton!

My husband and I had our hearts set on a destination wedding, but the most daunting part of the process was imagining a stranger uniting us during the ceremony. Upon a recommendation from our venue, I contacted Rev. Dalton and we immediately clicked. He took so much time with us during our phone interview and really made an effort to get acquainted with us. He really respected our wishes for a Christian-based ceremony, even though we were getting married outside of the church. Perhaps what really put me at ease was the fact that he knew my childhood priest and I felt relaxed knowing there was a connection there. Most importantly, my guests were so impressed with how personal and interactive he made the ceremony. Most of them had never been so moved during a wedding ceremony and those are the moments that truly count.

Reverend Paeder Dalton made our wedding so incredibly special. We have an integrated family (2 stepchildren) and a new baby and he made sure to include all of the children in the ceremony and made them all feel very special. He also included all of our immediate family members and recognized and thanked all of our friends for coming. Our guests are still commenting on what a beautiful ceremony it was and that Rev Dalton made it all about love and family and not just at typical ceremony. We are forever grateful to him for making it an even more incredible and special day!

Reverend Dalton made our day!! From our initial phone conversation until the day of the wedding, he put us at such ease with his professionalism, his sense of humor and demeanor! We so appreciated the phone call the morning of the wedding to reassure us that all would be okay and the service was in good hands and to make sure we ourselves enjoyed the day. The fact that he wanted to include all family and guests in the service was very touching.We would highly recommend Rev. Dalton to any bride and groom wanting to get married in the Sonoma area. A truly memorable experience!Olivia & John Yacukowicz

Reverend Dalton was recommended to us by our planner. My husband and I were planning a destination wedding in Sonoma County and in our first meeting, I was drawn to his excitement for getting to know us. I knew it would be important that our officiant understand us in order to make our ceremony meaningful and memorable for ourselves and our guests on the day of our wedding. Throughout the planning process, Reverend Dalton provided many unique ideas to make our ceremony represent us. On the day of our wedding we received many kind comments from our guests in regards to our ceremony. Reverend Dalton was truly a pleasure to work with, and we are so lucky to have had him share in our special day. Thank you again!

Reverend Dalton was awesome! Very caring and gave us some very great advice on marriage. He included my entire family in the ceremony during the ring ceremony and made everyone feel comfortable. My whole family loved him! Our ceremony was unique and really fit our personality.

Rev. Dalton was so nice and helpful in planning our ceremony and made it special for us. It was like we had a friend to marry us. He will be someone that we keep in touch with and remember always.

We used Rev. Daton for my October 2010 wedding. He was amazing! We loved every aspect of the way he conducted our ceremony. He is extremely personable and made our ceremony incredibly personal, intimate and memorable. He also added a sense of humor where needed! He also has a very charming Irish accent that was a delight to listen to! We also indicated to him that we wanted a "short and sweet" ceremony, and he did a great job keeping it that way! His office was also very responsive, thorough and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!!

My husband and I loved Rev. Dalton! We were totally comfortable having him officiate our wedding - he was very comprehensive while we were planning. We planned our Napa wedding from Chicago, so most of it was via phone calls and emails. We had so much fun during our ceremony and everything that he had to say was so heartfelt and just right on. We had multiple guests comment during the reception what a great job he did and how well it captured our relationship. My mom is still talking about how great Rev. Dalton was. I just took a half star off for value and flexibility because he is not cheap (but given how happy we were with his service I am not upset I paid up), and because he runs a pretty tight ship with timing for planning calls, etc. Overall he was fabulous and if we had to do it over again we would absolutely go with Rev. Dalton!

Rev. Dalton is just amazing. He helps create a unique and beautiful ceremony that won't put your guests to sleep! He is very detailed, which will but any bride at ease. We are so glad that he was such a huge part of our special day. We wouldn't have it any other way! Thanks Rev. Dalton!

What can I say about Reverand Peadar but he is AWESOME! He did a great job at our ceremony and really added some special touches that meant alot. I have been to ceremonies before which are quite boring and I can honestly say ours wasnt. He also is great about following up and really making sure he gets the important details just right! He has a big heart for LOVE and it shows. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a special touching ceremony that they will remember!

We LOVED working with Reverend Dalton. He helped us to create the ideal wedding ceremony. In fact, a huge number of our guests commented that it was "the best wedding ceremony" of which they had been a part. We first met Reverend Dalton over the phone (since we live in Chicago) for a get-to-know you conference call. He was excited that we were seeking an officiant very early in the wedding planning process. It really allowed him to get to know us during the year and a half we planned the wedding. We met with him in person three times prior to the wedding day, and he would occasionally give us a call to check in. He provided us the freedom to craft the ceremony that was right for us and helped to provide suggestions when we needed them. I would VERY HIGHLY recommend Reverend Dalton to couples seeking an officiant. We were so satisfied with the wedding ceremony; Reverend Dalton was very inclusive with our guests and personalized our ceremony by bringing in details that he uncovered about us in our meetings together. A+!!!

I can not speak highly enough about Reverend Dalton. My husband and I are not religious, so frankly, finding the perfect officiant was not high on our list of priorities. Once we spoke to him on the phone, however, we knew we had found a perfect fit. Reverend Dalton is in high demand in the Sonoma/Napa area, and it's easy to see why. In our conversations leading up to the wedding, he took the time to get to know us and learn about our families, which made our ceremony feel so personalized. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful our ceremony was, and said that it seemed as though Reverend Dalton had known us forever. I can't recommend him highly enough!

When we first spoke with Rev. Dalton over the phone, we knew immediately he was the perfect officiant for our wedding and personalities. Rev. Dalton officiated our wedding this past August at Jacuzzi Vineyards. Needless to say, it was absolutely the best night of our lives. The ceremony was BEAUTIFUL! Both my husband and I, along with all our family and friends were so touched by his ability to make our ceremony so personal and intimate. He helped set the tone and joyous mood for the entire evening. Both he and his assistant, Jennifer, were very helpful and supportive the entire process and months preceding our big day. We couldn't be happier, and without a doubt made the best decision when choosing him to share in our special day.

Rev. Dalton made our ceremony perfect. My husband and I liked him from our first meeting w/ him. He was sweet, kind and humorous. We liked his approach to a wedding. With Rev. Dalton, we really did not have to worry about anything, it just all came together. My family from China also enjoyed the ceremony officiated by Rev. Dalton, and they enjoyed his being a part of our wedding. Rev. Dalton also looks really nice on our wedding pictures :)

Rev. Peadar Dalton made our special wedding day the most wonderful day of our lives. He included our friends and family in the ceremony and remembered their names. He catered to our needs and was very prompt in any questions that we had and always available. Rev. Dalton speaks from the heart, which makes the ceremony unique.

Reverand Peadar Dalton was the Officiant at our wedding on June 19th, 2010 at the Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma CA. I have to say, the entire night was magical, but it was the ceremony that made our night more than we can have ever hoped for. Rev. Dalton was so incredibly wonderful to work with and we would recommend his services HIGHLY to anyone who is getting married. He has the unique ability to make people feel comfortable and part of the ceremony and we heard nothing but wonderful comments! If you choose Rev. Dalton, you will NOT be sorry!!Annie and Marc Nelson

Again, our wedding planner Rosemary brought to us Rev Dalton. It was him, or a woman (who were weren't opposed to, but she didn't grab us, or a another 6'5 guy (hubby and I aren't tall people, so didn't want to look like munchins in pics) so went with Rev Dalton. Honestly, I was a bit afraid of his accent being distracting ('where are my lucky charms's - type jokes), but instead it made people fall in love with him! Bryan and I wrote our own vows, which was nerve-racking, but Rev Dalton was so calming and made me feel like he would take care of everything during the ceremony, that I wasn't nervous at all. He is an amazing man!
