Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: With a doctoral degree in marriage and family, I am equipped to walk with couples at as deep a level as they may need or want. For me, this is not a business; it's a passion. I do what I do for the love of helping people in meaningful and lasting ways. Such passion is reflected in the undivided attention I give to each couple I am privileged to work with. I affirm and am eager to work with couples from every gender identity and sexual orientation. It is an incredible honor to be invited into the lives of two individuals in such an intimate and meaningful way as this. I do not take my role lightly, and I truly love helping couples plan their wedding day and begin their marriage well. I would love to talk with you more!

Jeff and I found Mr. DeSilva on Thumbtack when looking for an officiant for our 7/23/2022 wedding, earlier this year. I saw that he had great reviews so we reached out and I can honestly say, I am SO glad we did!! We spoke on the phone shortly after finding him to go over ideas for the ceremony and to see if we were a good fit and it didn't take long to realize that we were. Mr. DeSilva is a kind gentleman who has such a nice, calm vibe about him, and he's down to earth, and truly the sweetest person ever! He is also incredibly easy to talk to, which I feel is crucial when creating the most important part of your wedding day. He was open to all of our ideas and he offered some great suggestions of his own, especially having years of experience officiating weddings, to help with the flow of our ceremony. He provided amazing support through the process of creating our own ceremony script by emailing us scripts that he had that we were able to use as a guide to creating our own. And I love that any time we had a question, he was always there to help! Jeff and I absolutely loved working with Mr. DeSilva, he was the perfect addition to our magical day. He was also very punctual; he arrived early on the big day and we were able to go over some minor details to move the ceremony along, smoothly. He truly made our ceremony so memorable and I cannot thank him enough!! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant. ❤️ Thank you so much, Mr. DeSilva!!

Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 21 - 50 guests • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal • Date and time has not yet been chosen

Edward was wonderful as our officiant! We kept in contact months before the wedding, with Edward answering the multitude of questions we had quickly. He made us feel so comfortable leading up to the wedding and the actual ceremony. Edward took our thoughts about how we wanted the ceremony to be and he made it happen. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need!!!
