Rev. Ron Davids
Owner
I am an ordained (and retired) Presbyterian Minister, but I had a career in the theater before I went to seminary. I've been marrying people of all colors, backgrounds and beliefs since 1986, so I have learned how to combine tradition with your uniqueness as a couple to craft something beautiful. I like to listen to your stories and then help to tell your couple story. Participating in weddings brings me joy, and I want to pass that joy along to you and your guests. You are going to make a scary and wonderful commitment to each other, and this journey should have a beautiful beginning.

I really can't say enough good things about our experience with Rev Ron. He was on his A-game during our wedding. His words were moving and felt very personal to my wife and I. He worked with us before the wedding to ensure we were happy with it. He was punctual and was patient with us when we would call and ask him questions even the day of.
Overall he made our wedding incredibly special and we will always appreciate it.

From the start, Rev. Ron was incredibly prompt with communication, always responding to our emails and messages quickly, which made the entire process so much smoother. His knowledge and experience were evident in every conversation, and he offered thoughtful insights that helped guide us in creating a meaningful ceremony.
He was professional and put us at ease, making sure every detail was in place. The script he crafted for our ceremony was perfect—it felt personal and reflective of our relationship, while still keeping the tone elegant and heartfelt. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, approachable, and able to craft the perfect ceremony, Rev. Ron is the one!

We were looking for an officiant just days before our wedding when Ron and his wife said they would be there! I was so relieved and after 14 years of engagement it was a pleasure to have Ron make us feel like he had known us forever! My little wedding would not have felt so special without him and recommend anyone who is getting married to choose him!!! Thank you so much Ron you will be in our wedding memories for the rest of time!
Love,
Cassandra and Daniel Smith

When planning our wedding, we sought someone who could make our ceremony feel intimate, personal, and genuine. Reverend Ron exceeded those expectations. His involvement truly made the day special, and his genuine touch was felt by everyone.
His coordination with our singers and string quartet was impressive. Instead of feeling like separate elements, Reverend Ron helped meld the music and his words together, creating a cohesive and heartfelt experience that resonated with all our guests.
Reverend Ron didn't just go through the motions. He took the time to understand our story, sharing it with our guests in a way that was both meaningful and relatable. The feedback we received from friends and family was a testament to this, with many deeply moved commenting on the warmth and sincerity of his words.
We were also touched by Reverend Ron's dedication to his role as an officiant/reverend. He was always open to meet and took the time to build a relationship with us. He also helped add structure and gravity to our ceremony by offering useful perspectives/opinions. An example of this was his emphasis on sharing the traditional vows in addition to personal vows as they were deeply meaningful and timeless.
In short, Reverend Ron Davis was an invaluable part of our wedding day. He provided a sincere, heartfelt touch that left a lasting impression on us and our guests. For any couple seeking an officiant who brings authenticity and genuine warmth to their ceremony, we wholeheartedly recommend Reverend Davis.

My husband and I had a small ceremony that consisted of Rev Ron, our two witnesses and the photographer. We had an initial meeting with Rev Ron and decided he was a great fit. He listened to our feedback and after a few revisions to the script we had a ceremony where he added spirituality without too much religious undertones (just what we wanted). It was great he got to know us a little to personalize the ceremony. He was very easy to work with and was flexible with some slight timing and location changes.

Ron is a true professional and does an excellent job with his wedding ceremonies. Ron took the time to get to know us as a couple over a video call and understand how our relationship came to be. Ron asked for feedback on his approach to the ceremony in advance. On the day of the ceremony, Ron showed up early, was organized, and did a great job performing the ceremony. There were many comments from guests after the ceremony that felt Ron did a fantastic job and delivered an impactful ceremony. After the ceremony, Ron submitted all of our paperwork on-time to the county and ensured the wedding/marriage was properly recorded in their system. Ron’s prices were reasonable and his communication was strong throughout the process. We would definitely recommend Rev Ron!

I am so incredibly grateful that we chose to have Ron as our officiant, and we can’t thank Ron enough for a wonderful wedding experience! We would definitely recommend his services.
On your wedding day, you want to be able to relax and trust that you are in safe hands, and we felt that with Ron completely. Ron is clearly an experienced professional, and he brought his years of experience to the table in helping us make sure that we were prepared in every way for our big day.
On the day of the ceremony, Ron was exactly what we wanted from an officiant, and was a wonderful presence. We honestly had so many of our guests tell us that this was the most moving wedding service they had every witnessed, and that is in no small part due to Ron!
Our wedding really was the fairy tale we had always wanted, and we can’t thank Ron enough for being a key part of the most important day of our lives!

Reverend Ron was the officiant at my wedding in September 2017. Ron is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the beginning he communicated well with us, helping us to think through what was important to us in our ceremony. He took the time to get to know what my husband and I cared about most for our wedding, and was thoughtful in structuring the words he used during the ceremony (especially our vows) to fit with us and our vision for the day and for our lives together. He was hugely helpful at the rehearsal, taking charge of the process to make sure everyone knew where to be when, making sure the people doing readings knew how to use the microphone properly, and ensuring that my husband and I would be placed well so that our photographer could take beautiful photos! The day of the wedding, we had an unexpected 110 degree heat wave, and the chapel where we were getting married didn't have A/C. Ron was terrific at helping to keep the wedding party's spirits up as we melted in the heat. Despite the heat, his ceremony was reviewed by many of my guests as the best they had attended – I kept hearing from friends in the weeks and months after the wedding that they were blown away by how meaningful his words were, especially compared to other weddings they had attended. Ron helped make our wedding special, unique to us, and filled with joy, love, and excitement as we celebrated our marriage surrounded and supported by our friends and family. I very enthusiastically recommend him!
