Pastor Dave was warm and welcoming since we initially reached out to him. Thomas and I had made a quick decision to get married on Halloween and we reached out to Pastor Dave with less than a full week’s notice. From the moment we interacted with him he was prompt, professional, genuinely supportive, and extremely wonderful to work with. Pastor Dave gave us several options and helped shape our wedding into a very memorial and meaningful moment. In addition, he provided us with a few wonderful keepsakes that made our day extremely special. Thomas and I couldn’t be more grateful to him for leading our ceremony and we highly recommend him.

Dave is wonderful! He is very responsive and professional. We wanted something different than the tradition wedding ceremony vows and he listened to what we wanted and created the perfect ceremony for us. We are glad we chose him to officiate our ceremony.

Thanks Jennifer. Your ceremony was not only unique, but it was done in a beautiful setting with a wonderfully responsive group of folks. I thoroughly enjoyed it. ~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.
