The Reverend Dr. Daniel Rodriguez Schlorff brings over 22 years of professional ministerial experience to wedding ceremonies throughout Connecticut and beyond. Featured in The New York Times Style Section in March 2021, Daniel holds dual standing as a Baptist pastor with the Alliance of Baptists, Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists, and Bautistas por la Paz, as well as the American Protestant Union. His credentials include a master's degree from the University of Chicago Divinity School, a master's degree in Pastoral Care and Counseling from Hartford Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry degree in Pastoral Care and Counseling from Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley. Daniel specializes in creating personalized ceremonies for all consenting adult couples, regardless of creed or identity. He works with Christian, interfaith, humanist, secular, spiritual non-religious, same-sex, gender non-conforming, and gender non-binary couples. As an adjunct professor of world religions and a hospice chaplain, he brings cultural sensitivity and diverse religious knowledge to each ceremony. No two ceremonies are identical—each is collaboratively crafted according to the couple's interests, preferences, and backstory. Daniel's ceremonies have taken place in diverse settings, from parks and historic chapels to oceanfront locations and heated tents. He adapts his attire to match the couple's style and specializes in negotiating diverse worldviews and perspectives within families. Services include initial consultation, ceremony planning, optional premarital counseling, ongoing communication, the ceremony itself, and license signing and filing.
