This Day Forward Officiant Services

From David's initial response via email when we were looking for an officiant, almost a year ago, we knew we were in good hands. He was super responsive, professional and very helpful. 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.

David was astounding! He put together amazing material and personalized it, he took care of sending the marriage license for us so we had one less worry, he was great with guidance 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!

We are so happy that we hired David to officiate our wedding. He wrote us such a beautiful ceremony that was exactly what we were looking for. He incorporated readings we had chosen 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.

Highly recommend David! He was quick to respond to any questions we had, helped make sure things ran smoothly, and wrote a beautiful ceremony for my husband and I. If you are looking for an officiant, look no further.

Professional, punctual, and overall a great for our wedding! We were so happy with our choice of David with This Day Forward Officant Servives. 5 stars.

If you are still looking for an officiant, look no more!! David is an incredible speaker and will personalize the ceremony to cater to how you dreamt it would go! If you are not sure how you want it to go, no worries David will save the day again! This was the case for us, we did not know what to expect and David walked us through it all! We would recommend him to anyone that asks!

David officiated our small wedding 7/5/22. He was personal, professional and punctual. He was easy to work with and followed through on communication. We would highly recommend him!

David was better than we could have imagined at officiating our wedding. His words were so well chosen and his demeanor was warm yet totally professional. We’re so appreciative of his major role in our marriage.

David was the officiant for our wedding and he was fantastic! Extremely professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Highly recommend him to anyone!

David was so easy to work with, and he did an excellent job from start to finish. He made the process of planning the ceremony so effortless while ensuring we had the opportunity to customize as desired. He was wonderfully professional and went above and beyond to answer all of my questions regarding logistics for the ceremony. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

David was very friendly, easy to talk to, accommodating, he looked very handsome at our ceremony & he was so professional. 10/10 would recommend!

David is a true professional and our wedding ceremony would not have been as special as it was without him. He worked with us in customizing a ceremony that was unique and reflected our values and beliefs. After the ceremony was complete, he disappeared from the altar and made sure that our pictures only featured me, my husband, and our wedding party-such a pro move! I would highly recommend hiring David to officiate your wedding. You will not be disappointed.

David was great to work with for our August 2021 wedding! We had to reschedule from 2020 due to covid, and he was very accommodating and easy to work with. The ceremony-building process was very simple: we selected our vows, readings, and filled our a questionnaire, and the ceremony David built around all of that was incredible. We received many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony was and how great David was. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great officiant!!

David is great! Very personable and communicative from the initial consultation to the weekend of our wedding. He made us feel very much at ease during both the rehearsal and formal ceremony. We would recommend him to any and all that ask!

Wow! David was amazing! We are so happy we chose him to officiate our wedding. Our guests remarked how original the ceremony was. He went above and beyond to capture who we are in the readings & vows. We are fortunate that the best wedding we’ve ever been is our very own. We could not have chosen a better officiant!

David went above and beyond what we expected! When we did a consultation with him we knew that he was super kind and perfect to perform our ceremony. David’s words were very touching and he even coincidentally quoted a poem that was very special to us. We thank David for making our elopement so special.

David did an amazing job officiating our June wedding. He is super knowledgable and helped guide us in creating the perfect ceremony. His beautiful words were complimented by many guests at our wedding. Highly recommend David for your upcoming nuptials!

David was exactly what we were looking for in an officiant! He listened to what we wanted and put together a beautiful ceremony. It was nice that we got to read through the whole ceremony prior to the wedding day. We got a lot of compliments from our guests about how perfect our ceremony was! Would definitely recommend David!

David, thank you for making our ceremony so special. We were really happy with the beautiful service and you delivered exactly what we wanted.

David thank you so much for making our wedding so special. The ceremony was flawless you are truly the best. Excellent we couldn’t be happier since the first time we talk to you to the very last you were extremely helpful and made this process smooth and easy. Thank you so much

David was great! He was a trooper hiking into a spot in a state park and dealing with two insane people (my bride and I :)) as we planned an elopement in just a few weeks. He presented/spoke very well, we are definitely happy with our decision to hire him.

David is the best officiant ever!!! He is so professional, confident, and well-spoken. Our friends and family (as well as us!) were thoroughly impressed! Our wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect, and David gave it a special personal touch. David is kind, friendly, professional, easy to work with, calm, organized, and punctual. We are so pleased!! Thank you for making our dreams come true, David!!!!

We wanted to have a simple wedding and David was the right choice to help us to do that. We had a phone conversation about where and when we would like the quick, civil ceremony (only 2 of us and witness) and he made us very comfortable to choose him right away. Our wedding was very nice, outdoor at the Finger lakes region. David was very kind, very competent and we can definitely recommend his service for anyone.

David was absolutely phenomenal for our wedding day....and all the preparation before it! I had struggled immensely in finding an officiant, as we were from out of town. When I spoke 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!!!!

David is EXCELLENT! Our ceremony was absolutely perfect and I couldn’t have wrote it better myself. He really takes the time to get to know you and draft the ceremony for you. He has 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.

David was so great to work with for our wedding ceremony! He was very responsive and really took into consideration our thoughts and preferences on what we wanted. He took the time 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!

My husband and I really appreciated how David took the time to get to know us and our story. He did a great job personalizing our ceremony and making it a perfect reflection of our views and personality. So glad we found him!

David was absolutely perfect for our day. My husband and I wanted a truly unique, non-formal, yet classy and elegant ceremony and he made it happen. He was so thorough with from start to finish in planning as well as execution and our ceremony 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!

David was great. He was professional, spoke well and tailored the ceremony to what we wanted. All of our relatives couldn't stop talking about what a great ceremony it was and that's thanks to David.

Our original officiant (who was a family friend) cancelled on us a month before our wedding. We searched for an officiant through the Knot and stumbled upon David's site. I reached 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!

I first reached out to David and there was some confusion over his availability - first he wasn't available, then he was. After a week of thinking he wasn't available, he reached back 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.

David was AWESOME to work with. We had a very small wedding and wanted something quick and simple and he gave us just what we wanted! Highly recommend him to anyone!

Top notch officiant. David took the time to get to know us and compose a beautifully personalized ceremony that we received many compliments on after the fact. Definitely recommend 100%!!

David did a great job officiating our ceremony and he did an amazing job incorporating our wine ceremonies into everything. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for any officiant services!

David did an amazing job with our ceremony! He was early and very professional. I loved how before hand he had us fill out a questionnaire about our relationship. He used that information during the ceremony.

I found David through the Knot and based on the reviews I decided to reach out. After video chatting with him I knew he would be the perfect choice to officiate our wedding! We got 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!!!

David was fantastic. We had a very simple wedding, and David had many options for us to choose from for our vows. We even asked to edit some of the vows to reflect us a bit more, and 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.

We wanted a short ceremony that was to the point and we received just that. Even though it was short it was still romantic and beautiful. David was extremely helpful and having him at the rehearsal was necessary because he is so knowledgeable. We strongly recommend him!

Everything went great! It was easy to talk about the ceremony, we only had to consult twice and I was very confident that he was experienced and would be able to get the job done efficiently. 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.

David was one of the best decisions we made regarding our ceremony. He personalized our ceremony just to our liking and that was important to my husband and myself. We got the exact 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!

From the first meeting we had with David via Skype regarding our ceremony we knew we were making the right choice. He was professional, detailed and knew exactly how to create a ceremony to capture us as a couple. He created a ceremony that was exactly what we envisioned and captured us. Thank you for helping make our day absolutely perfect.

We had David as our officiant on 7/23/16 at Belhurst Castle - he was the best! He was very communicative with us throughout our pre-marital counseling sessions as we Skyped from Pittsburgh. David was very thorough during the rehearsal and the big day. He crafted a ceremony that struck the right balance between our faith and our diverse families. He also worked very well with the Belhurst staff. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant. Thank you, David!

David was extremely flexible in tailoring our service to our needs and was very organized throughout. He spoke well and we would highly recommend him for anyone. Thanks David for helping to make our day so special!

From start to finish, David's role as an officiant at our wedding made our special day all the more memorable. His guidance, vision and help along the way ensured that everything ran smoothly both during the months leading up to the wedding and the day itself. He is incredible accessible and happy to answer any questions; his understanding of the uniqueness of each couple providing us with an individualized ceremony that felt very "us". Thanks for everything David!

David is kind, courteous and very professional. My fiancé really enjoyed working with him and highly recommend him to others!

Pete and I cannot say enough great things about David. Right from the beginning he was professional and took the time to make sure he understood who we were as a couple. The ceremony was beautiful and really captured our relationship. We had so many people comment during the reception on how wonderful the ceremony was and many people told me it really was the BEST ceremony they have ever attended. Thank you David for making our wedding day the best day of lives.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. David was professional, organized, and available to us as needed. The ceremony went smoothly and we never had a single concern in his hands. Thanks, David!

David Viggiani was a pleasure to work with. He was candid in his assessments and sensitive to our needs and those of our families. In large part because of David, we had the wedding we were hoping for.

My husband and I were able to put together the best impromptu wedding with David's help. In little over a week he managed to capture our relationship and the things we hold dear and put them into beautiful words for our ceremony. We were blown away and everyone said how wonderfully he did. Best decision, hiring David. Thank you so much!

From the moment my husband and I met David we instantly felt comfortable with him. We immediately noticed his passion for his work as well as his professional attitude. We are thankful for the work he did for us to create our dream ceremony. We would absolutely recommend him.

David is incredibly professional and really took the time to get to know us to personalize our ceremony to make it special for us. He incorporated everything we wanted into the ceremony. He had great ideas for the unity ceremony. We did the wine 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.

David prepared a beautiful wedding ceremony for my husband, Nick, and I. He ran a rehearsal that made it easy for everyone to understand their role the day of the ceremony. David's professionalism is what drew us to wanting to work with him instantly. We would recommend him to anyone.

Going to This day forward officiant services was the greatest choice I could have made. David is an expert at what he does and made us feel very comfortable in creating our personal ceremony! Also, adding his great ideas such as the wine box ceremony! Which my husband and I just absolutely love. I highly recommend David as your wedding officiant!

My husband Bart and I contacted David less than 3 months from our wedding date when we had some last minute changes and needed to find a new officiant. We live across the country from where we were getting married and picking the right officiant 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.

David made our wedding something special! He was easy to work with and professional, and he provided an easy process for ensuring the ceremony went off without a hitch. The ceremony he created for us reflected our vision but also added special elements that we will remember forever, and brought our guests into the ceremony. Thank you David, we are so lucky to have hired you.
