About
Since I prefer officiating at simple and small weddings, I can be selective. With me, you're guaranteed as much help as you need in working on a ceremony that's just right for you. If need be, I can also guide you through the process of getting the license and finding the perfect spot for you.
I charge a flat fee of $250 (weekdays, $300 on weekends), which includes everything.
Happiness...joy...and even more happiness and joy!

David was the perfect officiant for our small wedding on The High Line in New York City. We spoke several times before the wedding and he was very helpful in picking out the type of ceremony we wanted to have (he provided several examples for us to choose from, modify or to write our own ceremony). David was also very prompt in his responses and I felt confident leaving that day in his hands! Overall the ceremony ended up being short, sweet and perfect for our wedding day. I am so glad I found David on Thumbtack and would highly recommend using him!

We are so happy we decided on David as our weddingofficiant. He was professional, kind, worked with us to customize our wedding ceremony and even went as far as to send comforting messages to us when we saw rain in the forecast for our big day! (Luckily we were able to reschedule for the next day). Our ceremony went perfectly- David was at Ladies Pavilion in Central Park waiting for us when we arrived and he read our ceremony with such grace- we will always be grateful! If you're thinking of hiring an officiant in NYC, especially for a Central Park wedding, then look no further.

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a former Catholic priest, so I have had a great deal of experience working with couples, as well as organizing weddings from beginning to end. At this time, I prefer doing small weddings (under 20 people) in the city (parks, landmarks, homes, apartments, restaurants) as a different way of serving people who would like to get married but cannot do so in a house of worship.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I officiate at smaller weddings in Central Park and around the city - typically from 3 to 20 people. Same-sex couples and those looking for a last-minute wedding are particularly welcome. You can edit and customize the ceremony to fit your desires so it's meaningful for you.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Verify my NYC Officiant Registration ID Number (1150914) with the City Clerk's Office. Then contact me. I have 31 years of wedding experience.
