David was wonderful to work with! We started off with a phone call to discuss what type of ceremony we were interested in. David then took the time to piece together a ceremony outline and sent it over for us to review, I really appreciated how he encouraged up to personalize things to our liking. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. On wedding day he was prompt and delivered a wonderful ceremony. He’s a very kind person and I’m so happy we found him. Highly recommend!

David was the weddingofficiant for my husband and I back at the beginning of January, 2025. We have only beautiful and positive things to say about him! He is such a lovely individual. From the moment we spoke with him on the phone for the first time, we could see how professional and committed he is to providing an exceptional wedding for his clients. He is a very sweet individual, very compassionate about his clients’ big day, and is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of his practice. It was also special to have a fellow Englishman marry my husband and I, as my husband is from England and it gave him a little piece of home for our big day! He even paid to mail us back our written vows that we accidentally misplaced! We highly recommend David to anyone getting married and needing an incredibly professional and compassionate individual to make their wedding day complete! Thank you David for all that you have done for my husband and I! 🥰

David officiated our wedding in November of 2024 and he was phenomenal! We planned a full scale wedding very last minute and David was able to work us in within a week of our event! It was very hectic, but he was so professional and really helped us figure things out beforehand and on the day of! Between the tone of his voice and his British accent, David was so soothing and he had such a way of capturing the attention of our guests! We wanted a really simple, heartfelt ceremony without an emphasis on religion and he really delivered for us on that as well! I would absolutely hire David again or recommend him to friends looking for an officiant!
