Rev. Daniel Kane, all-faiths minister, creates and performs joyful, meaningful, and personalized nondenominational wedding ceremonies for people of all religious backgrounds, whether the bride and groom be Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Eastern, any other faith, or no particular faith. This is his primary mission as a wedding celebrant.

God has blessed each couple with the gift of love, and that love overrides other factors such as specific religious background, or the bride and groom being of different faiths, or whether either has been married before.

"Your wedding day is a celebration of your love and deep friendship, and I do everything possible to ensure your personal wishes are respected and celebrated."

Rev. Dan does not require pre-cana counseling, but he will provide this if it is requested. Sometimes engaged couples who are not active members of a Christian congregation or a Catholic parish community find that religious leaders will not officiate unless certain rigid conditions and restrictions are met. Rev. Dan does not have these requirements.

"This is your wedding!"

To help couples plan their ceremonies, Rev. Dan offers brides and grooms a ceremony workbook that allows them to select ceremony texts and assists them in writing their own ceremonies. When the atmosphere and words of a wedding ceremony personally reflect the love the bride and groom feel for each other, the ceremony becomes a powerful beginnng of their new life together.

"With twenty years of pastoral experience as a wedding officiant, I will ensure that your wedding celebration will be a very memorable one. A wedding ceremony that builds on the values of your past and looks to the future will speak personally and eloquently to you, both at the time of your wedding and throughout your life together."

Rev. Dan serves Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. He will perform wedding services at any indoor or outdoor location of the bride and groom's choosing: church, hall, hotel, bed and breakfast, home, park, nature preserve, or whatever wonderful setting is found! In the event a priest or minister is needed in another part of the country, contact Rev. Dan; he will connect you with another wedding celebrant in that area.

Rev. Dan also provides bilingual (English/Spanish) wedding services and has extensive knowledge of Hispanic wedding traditions and practices.

Rev. Dan, a Roman Catholic priest, was ordained in 1982 to the ministry. He holds a Master of Divinity from the Franciscan School of Theology - Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, California, and a Master of Arts from Incarnate Word University, San Antonio, Texas.

A resident of Springfield, Virginia, he currently serves as a licensed non-denominational minister in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and is a member of the Federation of Christian Ministers, the International Council of Community Churches, the National Association of Wedding Ministers and the American Association of Wedding Officiants. Rev. Dan is a Certified Wedding Minister (CWM) with the National Wedding Ministers Association and has extensive pastoral wedding experience. He is bilingual (English/Spanish), and also performs ceremonies for baptisms, christenings, house blessings and memorials. Rev. Dan's interests include history, politics, sports, and travel.
