Dayna Mason, (also writing as Dayna Reid) Author & Minister. She has officiated weddings for over 20 years. Her love for people and the desire to provide couples with a non-judgmental and personalized approach to selecting the words spoken at their wedding inspired her to seek ministry ordination. 

Her book, “Do-It-Yourself Wedding Ceremony: Choosing the Perfect Words and Officiating Your Unforgettable Day,” is a revised, expanded, and re-titled edition of her bestseller, “Sacred Ceremony: Create and Officiate Personalized Wedding Ceremonies.”

Dayna grew up in a low-income neighborhood in the city of Seattle surrounded by cultural, economic and social diversity. This upbringing gave her an appreciation of all differences, including spiritual differences. She had two main loves; people and books. She spent most of her childhood either reading books or observing people and contemplating why they did the things they did.

In 2010, after officiating hundreds of weddings, and writing and collecting a variety of wording choices for creating ceremonies, Dayna decided to pursue her dream of authoring and publishing a book. She left her 30-year-long Information Technology career and six months later, in March of 2011, self-published the bestselling wedding book, “Sacred Ceremony: Create and Officiate Personalized Wedding Ceremonies.”

Growing up in a low-income household, Dayna’s only access to books was through the library. So, once she published her book, her entire focus for the first year, was getting her book into all the libraries. She wanted to make sure that lack of money would not prevent anyone from using the book to make their wedding day unforgettable.

Dayna currently resides in the SoCal area. She still loves books and has been spotted at the library taking pictures of her books on the shelves.
