Pastor David made our wedding very special and went the extra mile for us, literally. He drove quite a ways to come to our ceremony and make it memorable. He was very organized and professional. He made an effort to match our wedding colors. He gave us a commemorative binder of our vows, which was personalized. We made a request to overnight our wedding license and he went out of his way to make sure it was overnighted as soon as possible. We also loved his voice during our outdoor ceremony. His voice projected very well and was a great tone for our wedding. He is very kind and respectful. I would recommend him for any ceremony.

I knew as soon as I picked Pastor David we’d like him! He was so patient with us and very helpful during moments of feeling flustered. During the ceremony he said everything so well and nicely and made it fun so I wouldn’t have to cry due to a piece I wrote acknowledging my father who isn’t with me anymore. Same for my husband,his grandfather isn’t here anymore but we were able to hold it together and get back to smiling. I’d definitely choose him for our renewal. Pastor David was also punctual and overall a pleasant man. Thank you again sooo much for taking us on with short notice. We truly appreciate you🫶🏾

Pastor David was such a blessing ! When my previously booked pastor cancelled close to my wedding date , I was so worried I would not be able to find a replacement . Upon reaching out to Pastor David, he was incredibly responsive and was thankfully available. When planning my ceremony , I was very appreciative of how much attention was paid to my requests( even to attire) , and the amount of patience that was taken to edit my ceremony to make it my vision . The final product of the ceremony was a beautifully structured interfaith ceremony ( Christian / Catholic ), that had all sides of our families feeling included. If anyone is in need of an officiant or pastor for any event , I would highly recommend Pastor David . Once again thank you so much and God bless !!

What can I say? Pastor David is simply a solid, true gem. From beginning to end, Pastor David delivered on what he told us he would, and that is to gift us with a marriage ceremony that is tailored specifically to us.
Also, with last minute issues that arose during the ceremony, Pastor David seamlessly resolved the issues and gave us 100% confidence into the start of a beautiful journey as husband and wife.
Pastor David was communicative from start to finish. He also has a calm and confident demeanor and showed us he truly has joy in the duty of marrying two people before the Lord. THANK YOU Pastor for marrying my husband and I on our beautiful special day.
