We cannot thank our officiant enough for the beautiful ceremony they performed. As a mixed-faith couple, it was incredibly important to us that our service felt inclusive yet deeply spiritual. They managed to keep God at the center of the message while making everyone feel welcome and seen. The words spoken were thoughtful, moving, and perfectly captured the essence of our commitment. It was a highlight of our day that we will cherish forever.

We hired Cowboy Dave as our officiant and had a great experience. He was professional, funny, and very familiar with the chapel and ranch, having officiated there before. His knowledge of the venue added a special touch to the ceremony, and he even captured some great photos while the bride was walking down the aisle from angles our photographer couldn’t get. We would happily recommend Cowboy Dave to anyone looking for an experienced and personable officiant.
Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 21 - 50 guests • I'm flexible • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

David was absolutely amazing! Very prompt with communication prior to event and answering any questions I had. Very personable and easy to talk to. He sent over ceremony script ahead of time for approval. Day of the wedding he was on time and professional and officiated the ceremony perfectly. You can tell he is well versed in any wedding atmosphere and knows what he is doing. He is also extremely affordable compared to other officiants. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a more personal experience with their wedding.

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 $200 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 10 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.
