David Pointer was wonderful & the perfect officiator for us & our wedding! We could not be more pleased! We highly recommend him to anyone that needs an officiator!

o respond to all of our requests & helped by giving us several options to select from that were everywhere in between a fully religious & even a secular ceremony. We chose paragraphs from several different options & complied them into one perfect ceremony for us. He also interjected a few humorous comments & they were perfectly delivered along with his smile. Many of our family & friends told us that he was amazing and they assumed he knew us personally for many years. Simply perfect!
I am so thrilled we chose David to officiate our wedding. David took the time to meet with us in person and was very accommodating to my schedule as I travel a lot for work. He als...
o took the time to talk with us the week before the wedding and run through some details and flow of the ceremony. He provided us with different outlines and ceremony options which were completely customizable and personal to us as a couple. On the day of the wedding he was very warm, welcoming, and cracked a few jokes which we appreciated. I had many guests complimenting him and the overall ceremony. I would not hesitate to put your wedding ceremony in David's hands.
Our wedding ceremony was everything we wanted it to be and that is in large part due to the flexibility and understanding of David Pointer. Weddings can be very tricky in that stan...
dard ceremonies don't account for familial and personal differences. David's willingness to help us customize a ceremony script to fit our needs and ability to carry out our vision helped us have a personal, honest ceremony and a wonderful start to our marriage.
David was everything we were looking for in an officiant: warm, easygoing, and helpful. We were very pleased he was a part of our ceremony and highly recommend him to other couple...

pen to you writing your own vows, and customizing the ceremony as much as you could wish. He was very punctual and available for questions and concerns, even willing to meet in person multiple times if you needed to. He was able to provide a charming lightness to the proceedings, keeping them from being boring, but never crossing that line to razzing us. He was the perfect fit for us!

let us tweak one of them to make it more personalized. He met with us before our big day to go over the ceremony and gave us tips for what to do. On our wedding day the ceremony went flawless and several people commented afterwards how nice it was. We are very happy and thankful David officiated our wedding!
David did an amazing job on our ceremony. He walked us through the whole process and offered non-religious options for us. It was short, sweet, and everything we could have wanted.

s, and encouraged our discussion without pushing us in any particular direction. He was very understanding and patient with our tendency toward indecision and questions. David worked incredibly well with the venue coordinator and made the rehearsal, ceremony, and paperwork a breeze for us! At the ceremony itself, David set us and the crowd at ease, brought a warm, celebratory tone to our wedding, and used the elements we discussed while still adding his own charming, personal touch that made our whole event endearing and memorable. We have received innumerable compliments on him! Cannot recommend him enough!

dding. David could not have been more professional, or provide us with an easier process to plan our wedding ceremony. He truly cares about what your vision is for the wedding ceremony. He had multiple variations of different types of services (religious, non-religious, etc.) and we were able to fully customize our wedding with his expertise. David was always prepared when we met with him, and he helped coordinate the wedding rehearsal, and day of ceremony timeline. Our wedding ceremony was perfect because of David, and with all of the stresses that we were (and I'm sure anyone else) feeling leading up to and on their wedding day, David was by far the easiest and seamless to plan with. He kept our ceremony on time, added his charming touch, and sprinkled a little of his sense of humor. He made us feel like it was just us and him at the alter, which made our ceremony that much more intimate. He is a fantastic person, and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for someone perfect for your wedding, I promise David is the way to go! We were so blessed to have him for our wedding.

knows how to make you laugh and overcome the nerves that can set in on the big day. Anyone looking for an officiant with a lot of expertise and a fantastic personality should snatch him up.
David was a great officiant and we had multiple guests asking who he was and how long we've known him (even though we had only met a few times before the ceremony). He made us feel...
so comfortable during the ceremony and made everyone laugh and cry (happy tears of course). We are very happy with our choice and would highly recommend David for any wedding.
From our very first phone conversation with David, we knew he was going to be the officiant for us. He was humorous, pleasant and professional all at the same time. He contacted us...
regularly leading up to our wedding to make sure that we had everything taken care of. We received lots of compliments about him from guests who thought he was a relative or friend who had known us our whole lives. We could not have asked for anyone better!
Planning our wedding out of State was a very stressful process. We needed to find a good officiant and we only had one weekend to find our dream officiant. David was the first pers...
on we met with and the obvious choice.
David met us to have an initial consultation and came so prepared. He took time to get to know us and get a feeling for what kind of ceremony we wanted. He came prepared with several ceremony “scripts” and told us to pick which one we liked and make it our own. Having a starting place was a huge help for planning the ceremony.
Week of the wedding, David called us and walked us through what would happen and answered all the silly questions that I had. He made us so excited for the ceremony.
On our wedding day, David was dressed so nice and professional and he ran the show. He worked with the pianist, wedding planner and my Dad to make sure everything went smoothly. Once the wedding started he calmed the nerves with some appropriate jokes and provided us with a beautiful ceremony.
Highly recommend David for your wedding day- he was wonderful for ours.
David was wonderful to work with! He made everything incredibly easy for us from the very beginning. My husband and I customized our perfect ceremony from a variety of pre-written ...
scripts David provided to us which made the process seamless. David walked us through the ceremony a week before the wedding and kept us at ease by reminding us that he would guide us throughout the day and we didn't need to worry about memorizing anything. He remained professional, made our guests laugh without being over-the-top and always made us feel comfortable and important. I am so, so grateful I found him through the Knot! If you're looking for an officiant you can trust, you can put your faith in David!
David was outstanding. His humor defiantly made the occasion a much more relaxed experience. He was great to work with and had many very good suggestions in our meetings with him...

Dan & Lauren Rosselli
David is everything we had hoped for and more! What everyone is saying about talking only a few minutes with him and knowing he's the right one for your ceremony is true. He list...
ens, advises and guides you to the perfect ceremony you want. His smile is contagious, he has a wonderful sense of humor and wants nothing more than to make your day perfect. Even though the whole ceremony is a blur I remember hearing laughter which is what we wanted a fun, happy love filled ceremony. It's like he had known us for years and it came through in the ceremony. Before the ceremony he came in to talk to me and totally calmed my nerves. If he is available for your wedding date I highly recommend you book him! Thank you David for making our ceremony Memorable!
Writing this review brought tears to my eyes in memory of how much I appreciat David providing us with the wedding ceremony I have dreamed of since a young lady.
The day of my wed...
ding if anything could go wrong... it did!! My fiancé was about to explode and I was in tears and here came David to the rescue. Without blinking he began to offer alternatives and most of all peace and assurance to all of us. It was very obvious quickly that this was not his first rodeo! ha Then as if he knew the words I needed to hear he made me feel like the most beautiful and important bride he has ever seen. During our ceremony he was able to make us and those attending laugh and cry. When I think about the fact that I might have waited too long to book him or never found David, it makes me appreciate him even more. He provided extra effort and support to make our ceremony unique and special to us. For those who feel we can get anyone to perform our ceremony... how hard can it be? I challenge you to change your attitude and understand how vital it is to have a quality person like David to be there to provide a memorable and rewarding wedding day. He is the wedding man!!

We had interviewed two other minister & officiants before meeting with David. Ten minutes into our conversation with him we feel in love with his contagious personality and vast e...
xperience in officiating numerous ceremonies. Not sure how he does it but he makes you feel as if you are the most important couple he will marry this year. Then he provides simple and helpful ceremony resources that allowed us to create a ceremony that fit our personalities and what we desired to share with one another. Other officiants seem to be very pushy & cocky and even critical of other minister/officiants. David was so refreshing and did not market himself to us but just shared his approach and mindset on how he performs ceremonies. David was always there to help us with preparing our ceremony by email, text, or phone. Then on our wedding day he provided us with one memorable celebration. As a bride his smile and personality were so comforting. He had the professionalism and ability to make our family and friends feel a part of the ceremony. What is amazing is how he shares and speaks in a manner as if he has known us our entire lives. So many of our guests thought he was some old family friend. Our family members loved him and felt as if he was a member of our clan. You have multiple choices for a wedding minister/officiant and you can pay less and more but I can highly recommend to anyone that you will get your money's worth and more with David being a part of your celebration.

David was the officiant for our June 2015 wedding. We met at a Starbucks to chat, and we knew from the minute we met him that he would be our guy! By the end of it all, we felt lik...
e he was family. He is very helpful in giving you information about how to choose your vows. My favorite part about his services is that he gives you typed, already made PIECES of different ceremonies, and then lets you create your ceremony. So while you don't have to create your own vows, they won't be just like anyone else's. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose David in a heartbeat!
David Pointer was our officiant for our outdoor wedding at the Dallas Arboretum. My husband is from a devout Catholic family and I am Methodist - I was concerned about the reality...
of blending and respecting our two families beliefs with an individual that we were hiring online.
David went above and beyond and I cannot recommend him enough. We are from Dallas but based in Boston. He accommodated my schedule and skyped with us to discuss our values and the ceremony itself. The actual day and ceremony were beautiful - I am beyond grateful for his expertise!
Initially, we had met with David Pointer (we found him thru this website), and liked him very much... we had hoped to book him for our wedding. However, he was already booked for o...
ur day, which he was very apologetic about, and offered to introduce us to his associate, Dennis Nixon. So we met with Dennis shortly there after, and have been very happy with him. He took the time to meet with us a couple times before the wedding, which we really appreciated. He performed a wonderful ceremony for us; it was tailored exactly how we wanted and it felt very personal. We got many compliments from family and friends in attendance! Thank you Dennis!
David from Memorable Celebrations was FANTASTIC! He has many years of experience and it shows! He came to us with many different options for ceremonies and ideas I had never seen b...
efore to make our ceremony unique and special. He is professional and provided an AMAZING ceremony for us. I could not have wished for a better officiant to perform our ceremony. I highly recommend him to all brides in the DFW area!
David was the officiant for our wedding in early May. I spent many hours looking for the perfect officiant within our price range. David answered my email within hours. He is very ...
well organized, easy to talk to, and definitely knows what he is doing. He was always on time to our meetings and emailed us several times to check in. We meet with him a couple of times to go over our ceremony choices. David is very flexible and will pretty much set the ceremony however you request. On the day of the ceremony David walked us through the ceremony one last time. He kept the ceremony light and short. My husband and I can be very emotional but David was able to keep us smiling and the tears to a minimum.
Many people are on a tight budget but the officiant is definitely something you shouldn't cut back on. David made our wedding smooth, fun and memorable. Several guests asked how we knew David because he really understood our personalities. Thank you David for making our ceremony fantastic! I would recommend his services any day.

David was organized and thoughtful throughout the entire wedding process. After the first few minutes of our first discussion, my fiancé and I knew David would make our ceremony ju...
st what we were looking for. He was well prepared and answered all our questions. We didn't know where to begin for our vows or ceremony structure. He provided examples to help and guidance along the way. David's preparation helped us all (especially my dad) feel calm and confident about what to do and when. Our ceremony went perfectly. I received multiple compliments from our guests about how smoothly the ceremony went. An engage her couple that attended the wedding booked David two weeks after our wedding to perform theirs!
David was the officiant for our wedding in January this year and our ceremony could not have been more perfect. As soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted David to officiate. David...
is a very close family friend and I knew I wanted our ceremony to be personal. David brought the element of closeness to our ceremony and it felt so intimate. We wanted a quick but beautiful ceremony and he did the whole thing without making it feel rushed. Not only was the message and prayer perfect but David has had a lot of experience at our venue so he told us what has and has not worked in the past. We had a string quartet and he talked to them before the ceremony to ensure everything transitioned smoothly and seamlessly. We were so thankful to have David officiate for us and we could not have wanted anything more.
David came to my rescue a week before the wedding when my other officiant cancelled. Life saver and he did an awesome job!! He had everything prepared, with options for what I coul...
d work with !!
After trying to get a meeting scheduled to book with David for nearly two months he became more and more rude to me. It took 3 weeks to be able to meet with him originally. But unf...
ortunately the day we were scheduled to meet we got iced in. In trying to reschedule he gave me three specific dates/times and locations. In trying to find someone to watch my 3 small children he emailed me back to say he scheduled another couple in Grapevine and was going out of town and would be available Sunday. So I said Sunday would be fine but I would appreciate it if you could meet us at or near our house in Saginaw. He wanted to meet in Lake Worth instead. This guy has been impossible to meet with I am so furious that he's wasted so much of my time. I explained if he couldn't come to Saginaw I'd have to have My mother keep my kids and asked if white settlement would be possible. He still continues to treat me as an inconvenience but van travel all over the metro plex for everyone else. Then he tells me he can't stay long because he scheduled a funeral at 5:40 when we have had our meeting for 5!? Don't waste your time with this guy!
When it was time for my husband and I to pick an officiant we had no idea where to start since neither of us have a home church. Our venue actually gave us a preferred vendor list ...
to go off of and that was a total life saver! I went online and looked all the people up that were on the list and that is how we found David Pointer. We met with him a couple months before the wedding and absolutely loved him- he was charismatic, friendly, and he genuinely cared about making our ceremony fit us. He gave us several samples of the message, ring vows, and marriage vows. We went through them and used sentences from most passages he had to make it our own and reflect our relationship and vows in our marriage. He made people smile, tear up, and most of all laugh. He referenced the Cowboys game that was playing that day and the crowd loved him! We got as many compliments on him as we did the food, cake, and venue which I had never heard of before! If I could go back in time and change things for our special day, David Pointer would not be one of those choices.
Thank you David for being such an important and memorable part of our beginning as Mr. and Mrs!
Sincerely,
Christy and Ryan Carlson

My husband and I had a great time meeting and working with Dennis. He was kind, funny, flexible and was open to all of our suggestions for making the ceremony fit our personal bel...
iefs. He is extremely warm and although he had not known us for long, it did not come across during the ceremony. We met early in the year, and then emailed with him some throughout the summer to prepare for our October wedding. Dennis has traditional and non traditional ceremonies and vows for you to choose from, or you can use these as a jumping off point for inspiration. In the end, he entirely personalized our ceremony using our requests! He is always responsive to emails and calls. He also agreed to attend our rehearsal rather late in the game (we had originally told him we would not need a rehearsal). I would recommend the rehearsal to anyone - it will put your mind at ease about the day! The ceremony price is extremely affordable and he charges a nominal additional fee for attending the rehearsal. We paid $400 total. We genuinely felt that he does this because he loves to help couples get married and be a part of your big day. We had a wonderful ceremony and received many compliments! We would definitely recommend Dennis.
David was a great minister for our wedding. He met with us twice prior to the wedding to discuss and customize our ceremony and what he would say. He is very personable and profe...
ssional. The day of the wedding he did an exceptional job and the ceremony went down with out a hitch. I would 100 percent recommend Mr. Pointer for your services.
