nd 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!

was more than We could have ever written/formulated on our own. Our wedding was so special in so many ways and David found a way to bring together those details in the most extravagant manner. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

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!

ery 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.

r 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!!!

We strongly recommend him!

e box ceremony, which we hadn't heard of until David suggested it. We personally enjoyed having all of our parents standing with us to join us together in the beginning and the customization of our vows to fit our personalities. He made sure everyone knew their roles during rehearsal and everything went smoothly for the big day. David is amazing at what he does! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

t for us was one of our biggest concerns. Our experience was nothing short of wonderful and everything we could have ever hoped for. David returned our initial call promptly and we were able to speak to him within a day. He was professional and extremely prepared, which lead us to choose him soon after our initial phone conversation. He even had 2 other weddings on the same day which he juggled perfectly! David created a fully customized ceremony with all of the elements and wording we wanted. Bart and I couldn't be more thrilled with our experience and our wedding ceremony. I would highly recommend David for anyone looking for an officiant.
