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!

Amazing Officiant!!
We made the best decision choosing Fr. Dave to officiate our wedding ceremony. During our first meeting he was very knowledgeable in guiding us in the direction of our ceremony (we were clueless on where to begin). He was very organized and offered different options that worked best for us as a couple. Upon our next meeting and further conversations, we came up the ceremony that was perfect and personal for my soon-to-be husband and me.
The day of our wedding went flawlessly. Fr. Dave arrived early to prepare us for the ceremony and to make sure everything was in order. He delivered an amazing ceremony and many of our guests complimented his work. After the ceremony we signed our marriage certificate and Fr. Dave took the certificate to get it sent off to the county. He kept us updated on the process and by the time we returned from our honeymoon, our official wedding certificate had been delivered.
I fully recommend Fr. Dave! He was a pleasure to work with and delivered a beautiful ceremony.

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.

Bishop David Doyle was warm, friendly, and inviting from the moment we met him. Our families and friends come from a variety of faiths and backgrounds, and he worked with us to cre...
ate a ceremony that was meaningful for us while making our guests feel welcome. We included some passages from an Old Norse poem, and he took the time to research pronunciation. As we planned the ceremony, he offered several useful suggestions and helped us narrow options until everything was as we wanted it. Throughout the process, he checked in with us to see how things were going, and he seemed sincerely happy for us and excited to officiate our ceremony. It was a genuine pleasure to work with him.

Father Dave was very professional! Several guests commented to me about how well run our ceremony was & how it didn’t drag or go on but still captured the weight of the moment. He ...
did a nice job cueing us and going through the ceremony with us twice before at the rehearsal as well so we felt pretty comfortable the actual day of. For those of you who don’t think a rehearsal is next, it really helps ease the jitters and gives you a lot more confidence so you can be much more relaxed in front of an actual crowd of people. We worked with his outline so putting together the meat of the ceremony was fairly straightforward. We were really happy working with Father David - he has a warm and calming demeanor. Again, he showed up on time and ran everything great. A true professional. Thank you!
