Father Dave was amazing. He was prompt, professional, and easy to work with and really lets you design a ceremony to your taste. The process was very easy and the ceremony was like out of a fairytale. Plus he mailed our wedding license back to the county clerk for us so that we didn’t have to and could enjoy our honeymoon. If your looking for an officiant that listens to you and what you want and is flexible and easy to work with look no further than Fr Dave he is the best! 10/10 5 stars whatever you want to call it we loved him and will recommend him to anyone going forward.
We cannot recommend Bishop David Doyle enough! He officiated our wedding this past June, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Bishop Doyle is incredibly kind, funny, and was so easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. He was highly accommodating and seamlessly incorporated multiple traditions into our ceremony, making it feel deeply personal and truly unforgettable. He even went above and beyond by personally dropping off our marriage certificate for us afterward—a wonderful detail that shows just how much he genuinely cares about his couples. If you are looking for a professional, thoughtful, and amazing officiant to make your big day special, look no further than Bishop Doyle!

Rev. David J. Doyle
Wedding Officiant
Its my pleasure to have officiated at over 1,000 weddings with all types of couples. As an ordained Old Catholic priest and bishop many of my weddings have Catholic elements, with Anglican/Episcopalian in nature. But Interfaith and Christian non-denominational weddings are also often requested and I work with every couple to make their ideas, traditions, and wishes the basis of their ceremony. Non-religious or "Humanist" wedding ceremonies with no mention of God or Jesus are requested and I work with every couple to develop their ceremony their way. In fact a recent wedding used a reflection by Carl Sagan as their reading instead of any scripture. Ceremony elements have included Catholic/Episcopalian elements of the Sign of the Cross, Holy Water to bless rings, vestments and wedding stole, the Lord's Prayer/Our Father, and sometimes a Communion Service; Hispanic traditions include the Lasso and Arras. Interfaith weddings have included the Seven Jewish Wedding Blessings (in Hebrew!), handfasting, Celtic/Gaelic sashing of the Bride, and the Quaich and YES I have my clergy tartan kilt. I've also celebrated gay weddings in homes, chapels, and many venues. Love is love and all love should be celebrated.
