d relationship. After the ceremony, many of our guests complimented the ceremony and asked if David was a friend or family member, because of how genuine and unique the ceremony was. We both highly recommend the officiating of David!

ony perfect. He provided us with pre wedding questionnaire and suggested reading. We received so many compliments from our guest about David and the wonderful job that he did.

wanted out of our ceremony. Could not have asked for more!

iants that just didn't feel right. David was quick to respond to our inquiry and set up a meeting right away. He spent over an hour getting to know us, helping us with our processional, and running through his ceremony flow. He had some unique local touches to suggest for the ceremony and we were happy to incorporate them. He gave us many suggestions for readings and vows as well, and he made the ceremony formal, special, and personal for us. He sent us the whole written ceremony about a week ahead of time so we were able to make any edits and read through it so we knew what to expect. He made sure to remind us about the marriage certificate a few times and took care of mailing it out for us on the following Monday. We were so glad we hired David to officiate our wedding and would highly recommend him.

what we were looking for. He also provided suggestions for things we might add that we had not even thought of! Not only that, but he was genuinely pleasant to talk to and we could tell he had the type of presence you would want around on your wedding day. When David sent us the draft of our ceremony a couple of weeks before our wedding, it was even better than we could have imagined. He fit in so many details that we mentioned and covered everything we wanted him to. The ceremony felt custom and perfect for us. On the day of the wedding, we were hit with an unusually hot and humid day making it quite uncomfortable (it was an outdoor ceremony). Despite this, David remained extremely professional and delivered our ceremony flawlessly. We had many guests tear up during the ceremony and tell us how wonderful it was afterwards (even those who are more accustomed to 'traditional' religious ceremonies)! We are so glad we hired David for our wedding! He took all of the stress out of the ceremony and prepared something perfect for us. We highly recommend him!

pful. He occasionally checked in as the months passed to remind us to get our wedding license and to confirm the date, time and address of the wedding. On the wedding day, he was prompt, prepared and dressed nicely in a suit. During the ceremony his delivery was smooth and polished, well-prepared and just what we were looking for; not too long, not too short, non-denominational and uplifting and emotional. Such a great guy. Rest assured, you can't go wrong choosing David.

and being patient with us knowing how nervous we were and trying to adapt to an ever changing mood of a toddler mid ceremony. There was not a dry eye in the house and I can’t thank him enough. The communication from day one to day after was incredibly important and he was there for every step and answered every question. Thank you again David!

en and information that we gave him, and he provided many ideas we never would have thought of that enriched the ceremony and our wedding day. From our first consultation on, he embodied professionalism, and we felt confident that we had made the right choice. We could not recommend him more highly.

oke to David on the phone, he offered an immediate solution and boy! Did he deliver! Not only was he prompt in replying to my questions, adapting to time changes and incorporating our wishes, but he completely captured what we wanted for our ceremony. If I could rate This Day Forward Officiant Services any higher, I would. He is most definitely the right choice!!!!

as a lot of readings that you can read through if you’re not sure where to look or feel overwhelmed. David is also very well spoken.

to get to know a bit about us and our story and was able to blend that into a perfect ceremony that not only used some of our personal details but also added his own readings that could not have been more fitting if we picked them out on our own. He was so accommodating and worked with us up until the last minute to make minor changes at our request. We were planning a wedding from out of state and we are so happy that we found David because he was able to create a meaningful and beautiful ceremony that fit us perfectly as if he had known us for years!

out and prayed for availability! Lucky for us, he was available for our wedding. We got along so well during our FaceTime chat that we decided to book him right away. He was great on accommodating our requests and we had a beautiful ceremony! He was awesome to work with and with such short notice, he did an amazing job!

ack out and said he was. We Skyped and got along well, we were very excited. We wanted a low-key, non-religious ceremony. We talked for a good hour about what we wanted and didn't want, I felt confident. We filled out the survey and I felt he knew a lot about us. We paid the deposit, and I was told we would get the ceremony 2 weeks before our wedding. 9 days out, I hadn't heard anything - so I reached out and asked about the ceremony (I wanted to make programs so I wanted to know before I ran out of time). He said he would get it to me by the weekend. I finally received the ceremony on Monday morning; 6 days before our ceremony. Reading through it, I was disappointed - I feel like he didn't listen to what we said during our first conversation, or really use anything from the survey. So I made tracked changes edits via Google Docs (his method that he gave them to me) and sent it back to him. I received an email back "got it". I just took his word on it, and moved on. I should have confirmed the ceremony with him, but the day of, we didn't do a first look so I wasn't at the ceremony site. I didn't see him until I walked down the aisle. I was a little upset by his outfit - he was wearing a seemingly multi-cultural/religious stole for our non-religious ceremony (if this is important to you I suggest talking attire; we did not! So that's on me). But quickly we realized; he was reading his original unedited ceremony. We were absolutely gutted standing up there; but there wasn't anything we could do. I realize this was a miscommunication on both of our parts, I should have pressed harder when I got his confirmation. Aside from that, his officiant style isn't something I liked. Most of the ceremony was word for word from Officiant Eric's website, which made me feel like we should have just done it ourselves and saved $400+. To top it off, I was frustrated that David left during cocktail hour without saying anything; he had RSVP'd yes and we paid for a dinner/open bar for him - yet he didn't stay. The following Monday I got an email asking for final payment (which we would have done at the reception; he just ghosted so we were unable!), no explanation on why he up and left. It wasn't worth the headache to talk about renegotiating the price so I just paid it to be done with it all. Overall, I was very upset. If you use David, I suggest printing your own hardcopy of the ceremony and being clear about attire if you want a non-religious ceremony.

rmation during the ceremony.

married July 6th, 2018 on Seneca Lake and David was AWESOME! Our ceremony was so personal and our guests are still talking about how sweet our ceremony was. He had beautiful readings, poems and quotes throughout the ceremony and he was in contact with us throughout the months leading up to the wedding about what we wanted to include. David has a "wine box ceremony" that he suggested we use and it was SO special! My husband and I wrote letters to each other and locked them in a box with a bottle of wine to open on our 5th wedding anniversary. It was such a nice and unique touch and it took the pressure off of writing our own vows! THANK YOU, David, for making our ceremony so memorable and beautiful!!!

nd he changed them immediately. He came for both our rehearsal and the ceremony, and really did an amazing job. I wouldn't change anything about the ceremony, and David had a great deal to do with that.

m at the rehearsal was necessary because he is so knowledgeable. We strongly recommend him!

fficiently. I was able to make changes to the ceremony if I wanted, the readings were very nice. He was on time and took care of the marriage certificate quickly. I did not have to worry about anything.

t ceremony we wanted and he was willing to work with us and change anything to make this happen. We had multiple guests tell us what a great ceremony it was and how wonderul David was. I would absolutely recommend him one hundred times over to anyone looking for an officiant. What a great experience!
