Reverend Edward Ingebretsen

Five stars, seriously.
Reverend Ed married my husband and me this past fall, and my family and friends are still commenting on what a fantastic job he did. My husband and I do not subscribe to a particular organized religion, but are not atheist, and Ed understood that and was just incredible at performing a civil ceremony that still felt warm, heartfelt and spiritual rather than just legal.
He made us laugh, he involved our friends and family, his presence was so reassuring and calming — everything was perfect. We are so happy with the way our short, intimate ceremony was conducted and we 100% recommend him to everyone looking to have any sort of ceremony — he will find a way to customize it for you in a way that feels like you. Thank you so much, Ed!

As a Roman Catholic priest in 1994, Ed officiated at our wedding in Virginia. He took the time to get to know us as individuals, and allowed us to «bend the rules» regarding readings in our wedding mass and whom could partake of Holy Communion. He is a dear man and we fully support his ministry of helping loving couples (regardless of orientation) get legally married.

From the moment we sat down and spoke with Rev Ed; we knew we had made the right choice.
He took care of everything for us; so we didn’t have to stress over the details of the license.
During our small service with about 50 close friends and family; he spoke elegantly and made our special day exactly how we wanted it. Our families raved about how much they enjoyed his words and how well we eased our own nerves.
I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Recommended!
He took care of everything so that all we had to do was arrive from Texas and meet him. We were worried something would go wrong but he commicated with us frequently to make us feel better
Everything went perfectly!!!

Jon and I flew up from Albuquerque, NM, to have Ed marry us in the District of Columbia. Ed took care of every single detail, dealing with the registrar of marriages, paperwork, back and forth again with license, etc. for a very nominal fee. Ed is a sweet man, wrote us a lovely set of vows, and was fun to meet and work with on our wedding day. He made it very special for us and made us feel relaxed throughout the entire process and the day of the ceremony itself. I cannot recommend Ed highly enough for anyone wanting to be married in DC. For us, marrying in the nation’s capitol had much significance. And Ed made this day very, very special.

Ed married my husband and I on July 27^th 2011 in DC. Ed was perfect for us! He was prompt, informative, and extremely helpful. We only had a three day window to fly to DC and Ed was able to perfectly coordinate the filing of our license, a ceremony, and a photographer. He made the day special, it was the best day of our lives!

Gay marriage in Washington, DC. We found Rev. Ingrebretsen through Purple Unions’ website.
Because of the three day period between the filing day and approval, it became necessary for us to contact a reliable officiant that would file our marriage registration on our behalf. We live in Dallas, and the trip to DC would have required for us to stay the entire week just waiting. It made more sense to elicit Rev. Ed’s services, which included him personally taking care of the filing. All we had to do was be there for our wedding day. That, too, was taken cared of by Rev. Ed offering a B&B deal!
I am writing this review as a testimonial to our wonderful and very memorable wedding by Dupont Circle on September 9, 2010. Thanks, Rev. Ed Ingebretsen. You made our special day even more memorable because of your kindness.
