The moment we saw Dave we knew he would be an amazing officiant, and he did not disappoint to say the least. Incredibly gracious and well spoken, really elevated our marriage. He made us feel comfortable and respected while also being humorous at times. He has blessed our marriage and left a lasting impact, and we couldn't be more happy. Thank you again Dave and we cannot recommend you enough!

Dave Zuchelli's reply

Thanks for the wonderful review, Evan. It was a pleasure and an honor to perform your ceremony. Many blessings as you two travel this life together. ~Dave~

Dave is amazing! He was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding. He sent us a complete overview of how things can go for our ceremony. He gave us the flexibility to choose how we wanted the ceremony. He was very thorough in preparation for the ceremony by asking clarifying questions and sending a note a couple days before confirming the date, time, & contact info. During the ceremony he was very personable and interacted with us in a genuine way. He gave a great comparison to tie into the crazy stormy day we had for our wedding day. He has already sent our final marriage paperwork to be processed. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Dave was a fantastic officiant. He made our wedding ceremony personal and intimate. He incorporated all of the things that we wanted beautifully. I would highly recommend him for anyone getting married.

Dave performed our wedding yesterday and the service was perfect! Dave was professional, warm, and while we had never met Dave prior to the ceremony, I felt like he was an old friend. Dave's homily was very interesting and one I will not forget. I am so glad I chose Dave as my officiant!
