I am "Not Your Ordinary Preacher." Most believe because I ride in on a Harley and don my trademark cowboy hat. I'm an ordained minister with a BA in Pastoral Counseling and Theology, so I prepare a catered script around the couples’ beliefs and dreams. I worked fulltime in ministry up until 10 years ago when I took a secular job to support my family. I volunteer my services mostly these days with prison ministry. Inspired by my marriage to my high school sweetheart, I started this award winning officiant business so I can meet your point of belief and make your wedding dreams reality.

David was absolutely AMAZING!! He made the whole process easy. He was super professional, caring and funny. He made the ceremony incredible. All of my guests loved him, his personal touch and had nothing but great things to say about the ceremony. He incorporated a very special sand ceremony for our blended family, that was the perfect touch! Upon meeting him, it instantly felt like I'd known him forever which is a very comforting feeling for the big day! If you need a preacher, he is definitely the man for the job ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We had the absolute pleasure of working with David for our Sunday wedding, and he was truly not your ordinary preacher! From the moment we connected, he was warm, personable, and incredibly easy to talk to. What made our experience even more special was David's unwavering dedication—despite having an injury, he showed up with grace, positivity, and made sure our ceremony was nothing short of magical before even thinking about his own comfort. His presence brought a calm, heartfelt energy that we and our guests will never forget. David is not only reliable and communicative, but he genuinely cares about making your day as meaningful and memorable as possible. We can't recommend him highly enough to any bride looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day truly special. Thank you, David!

We were about 3 weeks out from our wedding when our original officiant canceled. We were in a panic, and David did such a great job helping us out. We did a phone call where he explained his process, he sent us the "script" he uses, and was able to incorporate the unique ceremonies we wanted into our wedding ceremony, including a knot tying ceremony and ring warming ceremony. Thank you for helping make our special day wonderful! 🥰

David was everything we wanted for our year- after-marriage ceremony & reception. We requested no exchanging of the rings as we had done that a year prior and he added a nice touch of talking about the importance of the rings instead. David included language like “do you take each other all over again” which communicated how we’ve been married, yet still made it feel traditional!

David was absolutely amazing! Before we could meet he sent his entire script to me for reference and review. He did such a great job even with no rehearsal! Quick on his feet and very nice. A ceremony everyone complimented afterwards for being heart felt, Godly, short and sweet but also making the whole thing legendary. He also offered and let me know about how he does marriage counseling if needed. (Hopefully not) but I know he would be more than happy to help us and we would be more than happy to ask for his help. Thank you so much for being apart of our special day!

David was early and socialized with family before ceremony. Everyone lived him. We truly felt comfortable with him. He delivered all that we asked and will always be part of the memory of our union.
