I have a Master of Science degree, and I have decades of public speaking and professional writing experience. My attention to detail, and my organizational skills are exemplary. Since retirement in 2015, I have wanted to do something to make a difference and touch lives. After working as an event planner for residential communities in Florida and Green Bay, I found my calling in officiating weddings. Your wedding ceremony should be exactly as you dreamed it to be. I will help you achieve that dream by officiating your wedding in a professional manner and performing the ceremony with grace and joy.

Frequently Asked Questions
The fees range from $350 and up. The exact quote will be provided during your consultation. The range takes into account whether you want a short and sweet elopement or vow renewal, or a more detailed ceremony for a large wedding.
Please review the pricing details above.
Travel fees may also be applied based upon venue location.
Simply reach out to me via email. Just let me know whether you want a simple ceremony, or if you want for me to create a ceremony around your individual love story. If you want something simple, I will send you some questions to answer, and we will move forward. If you choose a more individualized ceremony, we can either meet via Zoom, or you can fill out a questionnaire designed to provide information regarding your love story. If you hire me as your Wedding Officiant, you will sign a contract and pay a 50% non-refundable retainer to secure your wedding date on my calendar. It's that easy!
Of course!!! Love is love, and we want EVERY couple, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, to have the perfect wedding! We would be delighted to officiate your same sex wedding.
We do NOT perform prison or jail weddings. Many officiants do, however, and they would be delighted to provide services to meet your needs. Your prison/jail chaplain or case manager may be able to provide names of officiants/chaplains/ministers for you to contact.
Absolutely!!! It is your wedding, and it should be perfect! If you want to write your own vows, please do! If you need assistance, I can recommend some standard vow language to you!
If you change the date of your wedding, I will look at my calendar to see if I am available on your new date. If so, we will simply make that adjustment on my calendar. You will be allowed one date change within one year of the original wedding date. If you change your dates multiple times, we will only apply the retainer to the first date change.
If your wedding is cancelled, or you decide to have someone else officiate your marriage after contract, your 50% non-refundable retainer will be forfeited.
This policy is necessary because when I reserve your wedding date on my calendar, it is yours. If you change your mind after contract, I may have declined another couple who wanted to be married on that date, thus losing business. This is an industry standard policy with most officiants.

Diane was amazing helping us with our wedding! She was very communicative and sent us emails with updates and questions regarding our wedding ceremony and what we would like done. She left all decisions up to us and did not go around what we said, nor did she do it her own way. She made the process very smooth and enjoyable, and even talked us through the steps on what was going to happen. She even gave us the choice to repeat our vows to one another, as she knew how nervous we both were. Diane was also very accommodating when we kept canceling plans and rescheduling them. We were very fortunate to have Diane with White Swan officiate our intimate wedding ceremony. If anyone is looking for an officiant for their wedding, I would HIGHLY recommend Diane!

Diane was so great to work with. We had our first zoom meeting with her and were so impressed with her right away. She was very organized and communicated with us multiple times. For our "unity ceremony" we didn't want to do the usual candle or sand type of thing, so she had suggested a wine blending ceremony which fit our personalities and interests so well. That was one of our favorite parts of our ceremony. Diane was able to keep our large bridal party in line and ran through our rehearsal the night before the wedding quickly and efficiently. You can tell Diane has done this many times before and is great at her job.

"Diane Tremmel with White Swan was amazing! She was available with very little notice as we just wanted a quick I do, I do. She was very helpful in everything as I had no idea what I needed to do. The restaurant in Green Bay, The OC was perfect. We almost had the place to ourselves so felt intimate. Originally is was going to be us and our witnesses. But our 4 turned into 10. With every 2 we added Diane said ok great I'll add two more. The small ceremony was very cute, and she made it original to us and our beliefs and words we had chosen to say. Our families were very impressed by her as well. My new sister-in-law requested Dianes information for a friend of hers looking for a intimate wedding. I gave it to her without delay. I very much recommend Diane for any wedding you choose, big or small. Also, after the wedding she kept us informed of the filing of our marriage license. She sent us all the post wedding information we needed in order to change my last name. I cannot thank her enough."

Diane did such a great job as our officiant. She was very responsive. We contacted her less than two weeks out from our wedding but was able to get everything done. We met via Zoom where she asked us questions to get to know us and what we wanted for the ceremony. She made sure we knew what we needed to do for our marriage license.
She provided us with some suggested readings she thought might fit what we wanted, and they did.
She showed up early to the ceremony and looked very professional. The script she personalized for us was beautiful. We wrote our own vows, but we had her read them after which we would repeat. The pauses during this part were perfect.
After the ceremony, she hand delivered the marriage license where it needed to go, and emailed us instructions.
Overall, we’re so happy that she was there for our wedding day to help guide us along and deliver a great experience!

Diane was an AMAZING officiant for our wedding. She was more prepared than I could have imagined and flexible when we had to move our ceremony to a different spot on the beach. An intimate ceremony on Lake Michigan was loud with the breeze and the waves but she had a microphone so everyone heard her well. Her communication skills are top notch and she wrote up a beautiful story for my husband and I on how we met. Watching back on our video she also had great eye contact with the groom and bride. You could tell she was more than happy to be there with us. Overall a great experience with a kind soul.

"Picking out an officiant for your wedding day is such an important part of making your day so special. My husband and I wanted someone who we could connect with, who our guests could connect with, and someone who was organized and prepared to help us with all the sentimental and also legal steps to get married. During the process of picking our officiant, we knew right away that Diane was all that we were looking for. We started with a zoom meeting to get to know each other, that turned into over an hour because we immediately connected. Diane conducted a great interview to get to know us and learn what we were looking for. She then helped us with building a beautiful ceremony. She offered us so many options for ways to make the ceremony special. From different vow options, readings, unity ideas, etc. Diane helped greatly with the organization of the ceremony and wrote a beautiful script based on all that she learned from us. We had finalization calls, she was prepared at our rehearsal, and brought many tears to our guests as she crafted a beautiful ceremony that greatly captured our love. Her positive intentions and effort truly showed throughout our entire time working with her.
If you are looking for someone to do a beautiful job officiating your wedding ceremony, I cannot recommend Diane Tremmel, White Swan Wedding Services, enough. We sincerely thank you, Diane, for creating an unforgettable wedding day for us!

"Diane is the best! I highly encourage anyone looking for a wedding officiant to use her service, White Swan Wedding Services. She was an amazing wedding officiant and a joy to work with leading up to the wedding day. Diane met with my wife and I well before our wedding date to hear our story and get to know us as a couple, and she took what she learned from that meeting and created a very personalized ceremony for us. She is part of why our wedding day will always be one of our happiest moments. We are big fans of Diane!!

"Diane performed our ceremony on 08/05 in Door County. From our initial zoom interview to our ceremony, she was kind, curious, and professional. A talented writer, we trusted her to write part of our wedding script and she absolutely nailed it! I loved the vibe she gave our ceremony and our guests said the same thing too. We are so grateful Diane was available for our wedding.

Diane put together the MOST BEAUTIFUL ceremony that was both sentimental but comical which perfectly exemplified our relationship. We received MULTIPLE compliments about the ceremony, guests felt the ceremony was “relaxed and funny” “showed our personalities and relationship to a T” “we were crying happy tears right along with the bride”. She made the planning of the ceremony so easy for us. Diane was clear and concise with all her communication, keeping both myself and my husband updated along the way. When the wedding weekend finally arrived, we could rest easy knowing that Diane had things under control. She was prompt and prepared for the rehearsal and kept the wedding party in line. Diane was so detail-oriented, ensuring to step out of the first kiss photo and even helping us arrange the ceremony stage a bit. From our first meeting to the very end of the ceremony, Diane was professional and friendly. This isn’t Diane’s first rodeo and it shows!! She is a true professional in the wedding game and we have ZERO regrets with choosing her as our officiant.

"From start to finish, Diane was amazing! Our intro over Zoom was great. She handled all the details and made our small but meaningful ceremony a perfect day for us! She took all of our direction well and arrived at the event place early and calm and collected. Above all, the service was beautiful and she hardly knew us. She really knows how to develop trust. Diane has a very keen sense of grace, style, professionalism, and above all, she is a kind spirit! Thank you, DIane!"

Better than imagined,
My husband and I had NO idea where to start when it came to choosing an officiant for our big day, we felt a little odd asking a stranger to be as excited about us and our story as we were and almost wanted to ask a friend or family member but then came Diane!
She filled the role for us perfectly!
She truly made us feel so special and like we’d known her forever. She was responsive and accommodating even through all the changes we had in short time.
If this review can be a sign for any brides searching for their perfect officiant, the sign is saying CHOOSE DIANE 🤍

Thanks so much for everything you've done for us prior to and on our big day! We can't express how grateful we are that you were so patient and helpful with us. Whether it was guiding us through our rehearsal, helping us with our vows, or you creating a heartfelt ceremony script for us that our guests really enjoyed. We couldn't have chosen or wanted a better person to marry us. You will always be the one we recommend to anyone needing a Wedding Officiant. The ceremony went as perfect as we could have hoped for, and that was due to your professional advice and guidance. Thank you again for everything.

"Diane was wonderful to work with from the start. We had initially set up a few officiant consultation appointments but during our conversation with Diane, we decided right away to go with her and cancel the other consultations. This is a decision that we most certainly didn't regret. Diane made the process incredibly easy and did wonderfully preparing everyone for the big day. We had a little hiccup with timing the day of the event, but Diane was patient and understanding. Hire Diane, you won't regret it!"

I cannot say enough nice things about Diane and White Swan Wedding Services! Diane is amazing! We were stuck on what we wanted to do for our small family wedding. We knew we wanted an official ceremony, but didn't know where to start or what to do. Thankfully I found White Swan Wedding Services online and she was available for the wedding day. Diane listened to what we wanted and created the perfect script for us. The vows were perfect! Diane is so sweet and professional (her outfit was also super cute!). After the ceremony, she took care of the marriage license, so it was one less thing to worry about. I'm so glad I found White Swan Wedding Services; it took a lot of stress out of the day!
