What We Do
About Me
Hi there! My name is Lynda Daring, but you can call me "LD." I am a member of the International Association of Professional Wedding Officiants and follow high standards of ethics. Officiating ceremonies passionately is a personal calling, and I take it very seriously. Aside from my immediate family, my couples mean everything to me, and they know it. For the last 14 years, I have laughed and cried tears of joy with my couples, so you can count on me for tissues and a ceremony that tells your love story, not to mention a few sweet surprises I have up my sleeve!
While working closely with my couples, I hear what they are looking for, what is trending, what works, and what doesn't. This is what they say--
"We don't want a big wedding."
"It's only the two of us --we are very private people."
"We would rather spend money on a house."
"We want the best of everything, all the trimmings...but only for a very small group."
"We don't want the hassle and stress of planning and waiting."
I simply couldn't ignore your pleas, so I created a simplistic yet attractive platform for you to profess your love and tie the knot sooner for less money and still get everything you want.

At the end of the day, you have a heartfelt ceremony that affords you to spend your time and money where it matters most.

Perfect Fit If...
If you agree with one or more of these scenarios,
YOU NEED AN ELOPEMENT
- You want to get married yesterday without the hustle and bustle, you want to do it at your home, outside in a park, or otherwise—YOU ARE READY TO DO THIS NOW!
- You are crazy about each other and someday you might like to have a big wedding, but for now, your partner needs health insurance, so you need to be legally married.
- You are in the military and need your partner close to you (logistics, benefits, etc.)
- For your own personal reasons, you simply just want to be married and get on with your lives.
- It's just the two of you and two others to witness!
If you agree with one or more of these scenarios,
YOU NEED A MICRO WEDDING
- You don’t want a big wedding and you don’t want to elope, but something in the middle would be nice! Hmm...
- Standard wedding traditions do not resonate with you—inviting tons of guests makes you nervous-- so why try to impress people you don’t know all that well?
- It would be fun to splurge on the parts that you really love and save your money for a honeymoon and a house.
- What if you focus on just the important parts of your day with the people who are most important to you?
- Yes, you absolutely DO want the gown and the tux/suit, champagne, professional photos, an amazing meal, and a gorgeous, scrumptious cake!
- Make reservations for dinner at your favorite restaurant or historic inn, invite 8 - 25 of your closest guests and have your ceremony right there, then celebrate the night away with everything you want!
