David was a great officiant for our wedding and did an amazing job! I was close to an hour late starting the ceremony and he stood outside in the heat like a trooper! He has a great script he read and personalized for us and he really just made our ceremony perfect! He was also sure to stay after the ceremony to see my new husband and I to offer marital counseling at any point in the future if it is needed. And he even took pics of myself and the bridal party walking down the aisle!

David made our special day spectacular. David seemed like a part of the family and blended in well. His ceremony script was perfect. He even gave us a way to contact him in the future if we need help. Outstanding!

David was a very nice person to talk to, he kept his appointment for the wedding. He was very knowledgeable about how to perform the wedding. All our wedding guests liked him and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a minister to perform a wedding.

When I saw the description I was immediately drawn in. I was getting married close to Christmas and since David looks a bit like Mr. Claus, I started thinking about the possibilities. I spoke to him and he was very clear about what he does and asked if there was anything special I wanted. I'm a simple country girl so I didn't want anything special, just traditional and simple. He even asked me what he should wear. I thought that was awesome! But, then he showed up on his motorcycle and that was even better!! The very few guests I had gasped and said. "is that your minister???" I stood up a little taller and I said,"Yes.....yes it is!!" My best friend said, "Where did you find this guy?" I told him and he said, "I've never seen a cooler minister." Those were my thoughts exactly! Our wedding could not have been more perfect! Thank you David for a beautiful ceremony!!

David did an amazing job! He spoke of true values and love. Everyone enjoyed him as our officiant. At the end, he gave us life advice, offered for us to come in contact with him whenever we need to talk to someone. Couldn’t have asked for a better officiant.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  I try to stay as low as possible, yet competitive with my peers. My peers charge travel fees, consultation fees, fees for vows, fees for consultation. We can chat, we can pray, we can negotiate. I will stay as close to $150 as I can. Tips are always welcomed.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I'll introduce myself and my services, check to see if counseling or understanding is needed then explain the ceremony and perform it.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I have a BA in Pastoral Counseling with a minor in Theology. I have worked fulltime in ministry up until 7 years ago when I took a secular job to support my family. I am an ordained minister, but volunteer my services mostly these days with prison ministry.
