Dave was a fantastic officiant. He made our wedding ceremony personal and intimate. He incorporated all of the things that we wanted beautifully. I would highly recommend him for anyone getting married.

Pastor Dave officiated our wedding and did a truly incredible job! He was warm, friendly, and very easy to work with. We asked him to incorporate a couple things into our ceremony and he was able to and did a great job! Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get married in the future!

Simply Amazing!! Dave really made us all feel at ease on our big day and made sure we were able to relax and actually enjoy our day as well as each other. Dave makes you feel like you've known him forever and has got the cool grandpa vibe. He's great at making everyone feel comfortable on a day that can cause a lot of stress. We both truly felt blessed on our wedding day and it couldn't have gone any better thanks in part to Dave. He definitely helped make our ceremony run like a well oiled machine. We could not have picked a better man of God than Dave Zuchelli to marry us.

Dave was absolutely amazing through the entire planning process up to standing under cover from the rain for the rehearsal. He is extremely welcoming, and a great speaker. He greets you like an old friend and even though we had never met prior to rehearsal I knew it was going to be a good fit because of our conversations on the phone and through email. He does his best to make the ceremony as special and individual as it can be. He is wonderful. I would recommend going to his website and listening to some of his sermons to get a feel for how great of a speaker he is. He is quick to respond to email and phone calls and gives great advice and ideas on how to make your ceremony special for you. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an memorable officiant.

Dave is wonderful! He is very responsive and professional. We wanted something different than the tradition wedding ceremony vows and he listened to what we wanted and created the perfect ceremony for us. We are glad we chose him to officiate our ceremony.
