Daniel Ray Bryson

I became an ordained minister online to bring a unique, rebellious flair to life's big moments. As someone who enjoys blending humor, adventure, and a bit of chaos into everything I do, I wanted to be able to officiate weddings and other ceremonies in a way that reflects my personality—fun, non-traditional, and full of energy. Plus, it seemed like a great way to connect with people while helping them celebrate major milestones in a way they’ll never forget!

I’m from the heartland of Illinois, where creativity and adventure fuel everything I do. While rooted in the Midwest, I bring a bit of spirit and rebellious energy to every aspect of life, whether it’s creating music, running a social media company, or officiating a memorable ceremony.

With my online ordination, I hope to bring a fresh, fun, and unconventional approach to ceremonies. Whether it's a wedding, a vow renewal, my goal is to make each event a unique experience that reflects the personalities of the people involved. I want to create moments that people will remember not just for their significance, but for the laughter, adventure, and energy I bring to the occasion. It’s all about breaking away from tradition and making life's big moments as bold and exciting as possible!

I embrace a philosophy of openness and inclusivity when it comes to religious affiliations. My ordination through the Universal Life Church allows me to connect with people from all walks of life, regardless of their beliefs. I don’t subscribe to any one doctrine but rather believe in the power of celebrating life’s moments in a way that’s meaningful to the individuals involved. Whether you’re deeply spiritual, not religious, or somewhere in between, I’m here to help create a ceremony that resonates with you—no judgment, just a shared love of adventure and celebration!

What makes my ceremonies special is the personal touch and sense of fun I bring to each one. I focus on making the ceremony uniquely tailored to the couple, reflecting their personalities, stories, and style—whether that’s laid-back, adventurous, or completely offbeat. I weave humor, storytelling, and a bit of playful rebellion into the event, making sure it feels engaging and heartfelt but never too stuffy or traditional. My goal is to create a ceremony that not only celebrates love but also leaves people smiling, laughing, and talking about how unforgettable the moment was. If you want something more than just the standard vows, I’m here to make it happen!

I’m based in central Illinois, so I’m happy to travel to surrounding areas like Springfield, Peoria, Bloomington, and beyond. I also have a particular fondness for quirky, offbeat venues—whether it’s a rustic barn, a local brewery, or even a backyard party! If your event has a unique location with an adventurous twist, I’m definitely up for it. Plus, I have experience bringing energy and excitement to both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations, so no matter the setting, I’m ready to make the journey and create something memorable.

As a minister, I don’t just offer services—I bring an experience. Whether you want a wild wedding, a laid-back beach vibe, or something hilariously out of the norm, I’m here to make sure your event is full of laughter, meaning, and memories. I specialize in breaking traditions and embracing the unexpected, turning ceremonies into celebrations that truly reflect who you are. If you’re looking for an officiant who’s not afraid to shake things up and add a bit of rebellious fun to the mix, then you’ve come to the right place.
