The Signature Ceremony by Dréa is a sacred experience for those who want more than a script. They want a story, a soul, and a ceremony that’s truly their own. From weddings to baby blessings, each moment is curated with heart, healing, and intention.
The Signature Flow
It all begins with a free Signature Ceremony consultation on Zoom — a no-pressure, heart-centered convo where we’ll talk about your story, your vision, and the kind of ceremony experience you truly want. Whether it’s a wedding, baby blessing, or milestone moment, I’ll walk you through how we can personalize every part to reflect you.
After our call, you’ll receive a custom proposal based on everything we discussed. Once you book, I’m in your corner — not just as your officiant, but as your guide. You’ll get access to helpful tools like my ceremony questionnaires, timeline checklists, and coaching if your package includes it. We’ll reconnect 1–2 months before your big day to finalize the details and make sure everything flows with ease.
On the day of, I’ll show up grounded and ready — whether that means calming your nerves, supporting your people, or holding space for a powerful, love-filled moment. Your ceremony will be delivered with intention, heart, and joy.
Afterwards, if your ceremony is for marriage, I’ll file your marriage license with the NYC Clerk’s Office promptly and follow up to make sure everything is official. If you need help with the name change process, I’ve got you there too.
This isn’t just a service. It’s a whole experience -- one that honors your journey and leaves you feeling deeply seen, celebrated, and supported.
The Signature Ceremony
Because your love story deserves more than a script.
Your wedding ceremony should feel like you — not a cookie-cutter speech with your names swapped in. When you book The Signature Ceremony, you’re saying yes to a sacred, customized experience that reflects your love, values, culture, and vision for the future.

“This ain’t just a ceremony. It’s a love elevation.”
The Signature Blessing
Every child deserves to be welcomed with love, meaning, and legacy.
A Signature Blessing is a sacred ceremony designed to celebrate the arrival of your baby — whether biological, adopted, or chosen. Rooted in love and cultural tradition, this experience honors your child’s name, purpose, and the community supporting their journey.

“May this child be seen, named, and blessed in love.”
The Signature Shift
Because glow-ups deserve sacred space too.
Life doesn’t just happen at the altar or in a delivery room. Some of the most transformative shifts happen when you say: “This is a new season for me.” Whether you’re stepping into adulthood, reclaiming your power, or starting fresh, your moment deserves more than a “Congrats” text. It deserves ceremony.
The Signature Shift is for rites of passage, rebirths, and identity evolutions — curated with intention, healing, and celebration.

“Your next chapter deserves a sacred send-off. Let’s honor who you’ve been and welcome in who you’re becoming.”
The Signature Honor
Because not all endings are final — some are full-circle.
These ceremonies honor the thresholds we all face: moving, grieving, closing a chapter, or welcoming a new one. They give you space to pause, reflect, and mark what matters — with reverence, remembrance, and realness.

“Even the quiet moments deserve to be marked. Let’s honor the transition ...and the soul behind it.”
About
Rev. Dr. Dré Cleveland
Hey Family, I’m Dréa — an ordained reverend, certified sacred ceremony facilitator, personal power coach, and spiritual hype-woman for Black women and families who want more than just a moment… they want a memory. A movement. A whole vibe.
For almost two decades, I’ve walked beside men & women of color on their healing journeys — helping them manifest love, create boundaries, and reclaim their divine worth. Now, through The Signature Ceremony, I get to blend everything I believe in: intentional living, real love, spiritual depth, and celebration that feels like soul food.
I’m not your typical officiant. I bring:
-
Spiritual insight from my years as a life coach and reverend
-
Relationship wisdom from coaching individuals and couples through healing and alignment, plus my own personal journey
-
Ritual and reverence from being certified in sacred ceremonial practices
-
And real talk — the kind that makes people say, “Whew… she saw me.”
Whether I’m blessing your baby, officiating your wedding, guiding your vow renewal, or holding space for a major life shift, I come with grounded presence, intuitive care, and joy. I’m here to honor your moment in a way that reflects your values, your vision, and your voice.
And for couples? I go deeper. The Signature Ceremony wedding experience includes pre-marriage coaching, so you’re not just getting ready for your wedding — you’re building a strong foundation for your marriage. Because love deserves support before the altar, not just after.
This work is sacred to me. Every ceremony is a chance to align with Spirit, celebrate legacy, and create space for joy, healing, and truth. That’s why I don’t do one-size-fits-all. Your love, your life, and your legacy deserves its own signature.
So if you’re looking for someone who will get you, guide you, and glow with you through every sacred “yes,” you’re in the right place.
Let’s make your moment unforgettable.
