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 did an absolutely amazing job performing our wedding ceremony. It was by far the best wedding ceremony my wife and I have seen performed, and it was our own. We wanted a ceremony that was meaningful to our friends and family, and one that wasn't too long and drawn out. Dave did a phenomenal job of making our ceremony just beautiful. He had our friends and family laughing at times and his words touched everyone's heart on our most special day. He incorporated things in our ceremony that we wanted, such as personal vows in place of the traditional vows and he performed a hand fasting ceremony that went with a poem we picked out. Dave also has a lot of experience as a wedding officiant, which proved to be very helpful in planning our wedding. We planned our own wedding and when we met with Dave he prepared us what to expect on our wedding day and how to be best prepared for our day. Dave made our wedding day so special, our family, and friends absolutely loved the ceremony.

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!
