Michigan City, Indiana

Northwest Indiana wedding officiant, Rev. Doug Klukken, performing Lara and Justin's ceremony.

-Rev. Klukken did a phenomenal job. I had a lot of fun, and "at wedding ceremony." I can think of all the ceremonies I sit there and just think I can't wait for the reception, but he went out of his way to get to know me and my wife Lara. We had a great time and I cannot believe how many people have said that it was the best ceremony they have ever been to. Rev. Klukken meshed with our personalities so well. Even down to his appreciation for the wedding march song "Sweet Child of Mine" by Guns and Roses. I recommend Rev. Klukken to anyone looking to have a genuine and unique ceremony that will be remembered forever. Glad to have him as an important part of our big day.
Justin

-Rev. Klukken was amazing. He married us July 20th. From the very first meeting with Rev. Klukken, I knew that he was a perfect match for my husband and I. By nature I’m a worrier and he set my mind at ease. He walked us through every step and incorporated everything we desired in the ceremony. At the ceremony he was even better. I was so nervous but he calmed my nerves. His lightheartedness added a warmth and genuine quality to the ceremony. SEVERAL people came up to us after and said it was the most beautiful and heartfelt ceremony they have ever been to. I especially loved the fact that he stands out in the audience and does the ceremony from the aisle. That way the bride and groom are looking out towards their family and friends. All the other wedding I’ve been to have the bride and groom’s back towards the audience. Rev. Klukken’s way was much better. Our friends and family got to see the emotion on our faces at every turn. I recommend Rev. Klukken whole-heartedly.
Lara

-I totally agree with Lara, I loved how he had you and Justin face your family and friends. And yes it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony I've ever been to and I've had several people tell me the same thing.

Aberdeen Manor, Valparaiso

Northwest Indiana wedding officiant, Rev. Doug Klukken, performing Lindsay and Brad's ceremony at the beautiful chapel at Aberdeen Manor in Valparaiso, IN

-Rev Klukken was amazing at our wedding ceremony! He is SO personable and really a lot of fun! He had a special quality about him that made the ceremony SO enjoyable for us and our guests as well. The way he talked about us made it seem
like he had known us for years!! We would recommend him to anyone getting married! Of all the people we hired for our special day, he was by far our favorite. It's been almost 2 1/2 years since we got married and we (and guests) are still talking about him. There aren't even enough ways to express how thankful we are for having him do our ceremony. He's a natural! :)
Lindsay

-I agree!!!! I even made a comment to Jon about how great he did! It was very natural he even made me comfortable. I liked him very much!

White Hawk Country Club, Crown Point

Northwest Indiana wedding officiant, Rev. Doug Klukken, performing Ashley and Kevin's ceremony at White Hawk Country Club in Crown Point, Indiana.

-Reverend Klukken did an absolutely amazing job at our ceremony. He reassured that everything would go smoothly and it certainly did. One less stress to worry about on our wedding day! I loved how he made our wedding so personal by getting into the names of family members and really concentrating on both of our backgrounds and what led us to each other. If you want someone that's very professional & trustworthy I would highly recommend Reverend Klukken. I heard from numerous guests how well he did at our ceremony and how touching it was. His experience definitely shows, awesome job!!!!
Ashley (and Kevin)

-It was a beautiful ceremony!! If I lived in Indiana I would go to his church. He made everyone so welcome.

Rev Doug and Diana,
Thank you for welcoming us into the church and performing our marriage ceremony. You made the ceremony very special and personal. The church provided the atmosphere we were looking for as we begin our lives together. We will see you soon at Sunday service!

Halls of St. George, Schererville

Rev. Doug Klukken with Abra and Dan after their beautiful wedding at Halls of St. George, Schererville, Indiana.

Rev. Klukken,
We really appreciated having you be a part of our special day. Everyone also just absolutely loved our ceremony and had nothing but wonderful things to say about you. Thank you so much again!
-Abra

Rev Klukken married my sister and her husband 3 years ago. Our Dad is very religious, but my sister wanted an outside wedding. Our church NEVER allows outside weddings, but Rev Doug was happy to give us a fully sacramental ceremony that the whole family loved. My family is still, to this day, bragging about how great the ceremony was and how surprised they were that it could be that great even outside our longtime church.
-Tracy

Thank you so much for officiating at our wedding! For not knowing us- you sure read us right! :) My grandma was extremely pleased- and she was the one I really wanted to be happy!! She has strong Christian values and is faithfully in church every Sunday and she said it was beautiful! Again, thank you so much for making our day special!
Mr. & Mrs. Jeremy Ling

Doug,
The ceremony was great! We had so many friends and family tell us how that was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever attended. We thank you so much for making our special day even more special. Thanks for putting me at ease before the ceremony. We'll never forget our day & your care and attention to the ceremony made it so special. Please accept this small donation to your church for appreciation for everything you did that day.
Thanks again and we hope to see you soon,
Scott and Laura

Thank you so much for a beautiful wedding ceremony, you did a great job, Doug! Hope you are doing better, Diana. Thanks for everything!
Love,
Kevin & Tricia

Rev Doug performed our wedding outside against my very catholic mother's wishes. She, as well as all the guests, was so pleased that we still all smile when we think about the ceremony. It was wonderful. We had all of the belssings from the pastor without all the hype, planning, or rules that we were being asked to jump through at our regular church.    I would highly recommend him for anyone getting married. He made the ceremony one of the most enjoyable parts of our day.
Shelly and Curt

Reverend Klukken,

Sincerely,

Dear Rev Doug Klukken,
We want to thank you for the beautiful wedding ceremony! We were extremely pleased with your sermon and how everything went, We had many guests comment on the ceremony also. Thank you for making our day so special & memorable.
Katie, James & Nathan

Dear Reverend Klukken,
We cannot possibly thank you enough for officiating our wedding ceremony. It was so beautiful! We wouldn't have had it any other way! Everyone loved you! We will definitely be attending mass at your church in the near future! We look forward to being a part of your congregation! Thank you again for everything! We couldn't imagine our wedding without you!
Love- Jessica and Mike

Dear Doug,
I want to let you know how much we appreciated your help and your message. From the rehearsal on the beach to the final blessing, you made a huge contribution to our special day. I can't tell you how many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended and you got us off to the perfect start!
When Elizabeth & Jeff ordered beer for their wedding, they consulted recently married friends. However, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves so much that we had more leftover beer than what was consumed. The whole ceremony seemed to have a special tone of its own. Thank you so much for being such a vital part of this spectacular day.
Love,
Rick and Jan

Rev. Klukken,
I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful ceremony. It was great the way that there was humor, as well as the honoring of the mother on Mother's Day. Plus the honoring of Christ in our lives.
Thanks again,
Kelly and Mark

Thank you so much for being part of our special day. Jason and I cannot begin to tell you how much we appreciate your help. You made our ceremony beautiful and we will always treasure our memories. Thank you again!!

Dear Reverend Klukken,
Thank you so much for officiating our wedding ceremony. We know from the first time we spoke with you that you were what we were looking for in our ceremony- a warm-hearted, cordial person who has been understanding of our wishes and helpful with the other decisions we have had to make. Thank you again for making our ceremony so special.

Thank you so much for making our wedding so personal. You most certainly captured who we are individually and together. We will always remember the special words that you said. The way you included our children made them
feel such a part of our ceremony. Everyone was happy. All the people attending commented on how much they loved you and how perfectly everything went.
Thank you again,
Marcela and Dan

Rev. Klukken,
Thank you very much for all of your help in making our wedding day so special. The ceremony was beautiful and we could not have asked for any kinder words that you had for both of us as we united as husband and wife.
Thanks again,
Brett and Lindsay

Rev. Doug's lovely wife, Rev. Diana Govert, married us at Wicker Park in Highland, IN. She was wonderful. Rev. Doug Klukken also married my brother. The two of them are wonderful people- I highly suggest using them for your upcoming nuptials.
