Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Love and marriage in the time of COVID-19 Weddings are physically intimate affairs for the wedding party and guests. In an effort to maintain social distancing, I will officiate at your wedding under certain conditions and restrictions that you should be aware of as you plan any event. I am not available until June 1 when we all hope the pandemic begins to subside. Summer time is a good time for outdoor weddings, which I prefer. As your officiant I will work with you and your wedding party to maintain appropriate distancing. Don't worry, we can make it fun AND safe for everyone. And look at it on the bright side: you'll be able to tell everyone that you got married during the infamous COVID-19 pandemic! Putting aside all this talk about viruses, let's talk about your actual wedding. Keep in mind that anyone can marry anyone these days. It takes two clicks on the internet. But if you want a ceremony that really sings, you need to hire an experienced professional. I'm that person: a professional writer and professor of public speaking, I've done over 100 weddings from small to large, religious and not. Destination weddings and traditional close-to-home weddings with lots of friends and family. I do the heavy lifting, and I also specialize in telling your story during the welcome, based on an advance interview with you. That's my specialty. I only do 12 ceremonies a year. You can expect a high-touch communicator, and someone completely devoted to one of the most special days of your lives. Need an ad hoc event manager? Once I'm on site I become the Jewish mother who stage manages, not the entire event, but certainly the ceremony. (I also take directions very well from your professional wedding planner.) My fee is $450 and includes everything. Don't go with your uncle or your niece or a friend to officiate. Let them enjoy the ceremony. I require a $200 deposit to secure the date. (Deposit goes towards the total fee.) And I provide sample ceremonies in advance. Again, my specialty is to meet with you in advance (or over the phone/Skype) in an interview to parse out the story that you've become together. That story gets told in a heartwarming, sometimes funny way, that will make your guests swoon. Want to be one of my twelve ceremonies during 2020? Contact me. Oh, and... Congratulations! Rev. Dave Signature Ceremonies "Your wedding ceremony is the signature of your love."

He was wonderful in every way. He worked with us conveniently through email to create a beautiful ceremony. At a lot of weddings I've been to, the officiant is too serious or just makes a big comedy performance out of the ceremony but Dave was a perfect balance of serious with a few hilarious jokes. Our ceremony was beautiful and I highly recommend him to anyone of any faith.

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 51 - 100 guests • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal

I had so many comments about how beautiful and special our wedding was, commenting about how our officiant made our wedding day original and one of the best wedding that anyone had ever been to. Thank you so much Dave!!

Where do I start? I found Dave on Thumbtack and the three of us met at a coffee shop. We loved his ideas and suggestions. He asked questions, took notes, and came up with a wonderful story about us to begin the ceremony. Dave and I communicated back and forth via email or phone, to make sure we had all the words just so. We had most of the writing completed within a couple weeks. Dave recommended a sand ceremony that turned out PERFECT! We were putting families together; the sand ceremony was very touching for all. Dave arrived just as he said he would, he met with the witnesses, just as he said he would and with the ring bearer. He told me ahead of time what to expect and it happened just as planned. Dave is a wonderful officiant; he instantly put us at ease and made the whole ceremony very comfortable. He is funny if/when needed as when we were fumbling with the rings because they were tied to the pillow, he told a joke. Many, Many, Many thanks to Dave Pace for making our wedding day all that we could have expected.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Dave spent time with both my husband and I to really get to know us on a personal level- this was a nice touch that we really appreciated. He was so easy to work with and customized our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. After the wedding ceremony we had multiple friends and family tell us what an amazing job he did. Our friends that are getting married this summer loved him so much that they are contacting him for his services. We highly recommend Dave!

David Pace was an outstanding officiant! He married my husband and I on short notice, an hour and a half away, and during a storm. He was very easy going about changes and did things the way we wanted with no issues. He did an amazing job writing and performing our ceremony! David Pace made jokes and helped me relax for the ceremony! I was pretty nervous and he helped me to calm down and breath. I would recommend David Pace to anyone! I already told my brother her should call Mr. Pace to preform his wedding in a year or two. He made getting married for me easier and more enjoyable! Thank yo so much!
