Wedding Dayz

ting humor and making the couple feel comfortable. Many of my guests approached me afterwards and told me they really enjoyed the ceremony, which is kind of a rare thing! Dave is super responsive, flexible, and accommodating. I would 100% hire him again.

him to is for the rest of the night. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great and affordable officiant! Love, Brittney and Wade

t and suggestions. We had considered doing a wine box during the ceremony and he strongly encouraged it an he was right!! We are still getting compliments on how wonderful the ceremony was. He truly made the ceremony feel personalized. I would highly recommend Dave to any couple looking for an officiant!

answered any and all of my questions. He met with my husband and I a few months before the ceremony so we could get to know him and create a basic outline for the ceremony. He is so easy to talk to and made the entire process of planning the ceremony so easy. My husband and I weren't entirely sure of what type of ceremony we wanted, but after talking with Dave he helped us create the perfect ceremony. Throughout the reception and even weeks afterwards, so many people told me how much they enjoyed the ceremony because Dave made it so captivating, relatable and enjoyable. He was always on time, accommodated us for the rehearsal time and made every minute of the day perfect for my husband and I. He made us feel at ease on a day that is naturally filled with nerves and excitement. Dave, thank you so much for being apart of our day and making it so special. We would recommend Dave to any and every couple who is getting married!

e. Selecting the vendors for our wedding day was no easy task! I have worked with some of the best wedding vendors in Central PA and a few that are not so good. So when it came time for John and I to plan our own wedding we had a long list of vendors to consider. Selecting our officiate was one of the most important decisions we had to make. Fortunately for us I have worked with Pastor Dave many times over the past few years. His ability to make each and every wedding ceremony unique and special always amazed me. His demeanor and his presentation always gave me the impression that he was a man that truly believed and loved the message he was sharing and that he knew each and every couple for years. Working with him on a personal level was everything we thought it would be and more! Pastor Dave was open, honest, funny and certainly captured the essence of our relationship. His guidance and assurance during the process made both of us feel at ease, as if we were talking to an old friend. I am still receiving compliments about our ceremony! I can’t tell you how many of our guest told us that it was the most personal, touching, inspirational and by far the very best wedding ceremony they had ever attended including their own. Wow.. that says it all. We totally agree! We can’t stop watching our wedding ceremony video! Thank you Pastor Dave for making our wedding day dreams come true. Karen & John

ver every detail of the wedding ceremony months before so you are aware of everything! He was available by email and phone anytime and was very responsive! He took all of our suggestions and ideas and helped us put together a great ceremony with vowels we chose. He even allowed us to go over the rehearsal more than once to make sure everyone was comfortable! He made the nerves of the day go away with ease and our ceremony turned out perfect! I can’t thank Dave enough and I’d recommend him to any couple!

e. He truly made our marriage start off on the right foot. We would highly recommend him for your event as well!

ve's ability to keep everyone's attention, his kindness, and his calming demeanor. He has an excellent sense of humor and is extremely confident in his skills and abilities. Our guests loved him. Our friends who are getting married this year even asked for his info. after the wedding! I promise you your ceremony will be anything but boring if you hire Dave as your officiant. And, if you have stage fright like I do, he will help you stay completely cool, calm, and collected. Thanks again Dave, you made our wedding day so special!

eyond, he poured excitement, joy, laughs and love into the ceremony. He even came searching for me 10 minutes before the ceremony, roaming throughout my venue. Once found he held my hand looked me in the eye and said "I have one question for you, do you want to get married today?" Something so unexpected that I will treasure forever. Reverend Dave was such an amazing addition to our big day, we are forever grateful for his presence.

, we decided on him to be our wedding officiant because as a nonreligious couple, we did not have someone in our lives who could do this for us and also keep it in line with our values. We met once at a diner to discuss the type of wedding ceremony that we wanted to have. For us, short and simple was also perfect. Prior to leaving however, we made it very, VERY clear that we were not religious and did not want any religious terms used during our ceremony. He said he completely respected this and would not mention "God" or any other term. Our rehearsal went well enough, though he seemed disappointed because initially we were going to have him "feed us" the lines for our vows, and we later decided to read them on our own. He expressed to us that he really wanted to read them for us, but we hand wrote ours and it felt silly to not read them ourselves. The wedding ceremony was nice. He did not have a microphone due to the location, and still he was loud enough that everyone could hear him. Many people came up to us after and told us that this was one of the most beautiful services they had been to. Unfortunately, this was ruined for my husband and I because he DID mention God three times during the service. This despite promising us that he would NOT. Thankfully, not many people in our families know that we are not religious, so this went largely unnoticed. All things considered, I would not use his services again (not that there will be a next time!!), but I would consider recommending him for anyone who is Christian or Catholic. Nonreligious couples, please consider someone else. This is your only day. Go with someone who wants to make it perfect for you, whether it is in line with their beliefs or not.

fun, and charismatic. He was able to keep all the guests engaged during the whole ceremony. I am still hearing compliments from guests. Thanks for everything!! Highly recommend to everyone!!!!

. His message was exactly what my husband and I wanted. We had many compliments from our wedding guests as to how perfect our vows were. Pastor Dave did a great job getting to know us and having that reflected in our ceremony. We would highly recommend him!!

attending the wedding. Dave did an amazing job at staying neutral with prayers while still making it meaningful for everyone. He did something very special in the beginning of the ceremony here he involved the guests to vow to support and encourage us in our relationship and had them say "I do". I can not even count how many people loved how he ran the ceremony and multiple people said that his words were a good reminder for their own personal relationships. Very impressed overall with Reverend Dave Diraddo and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

de the right decision within the first 10 seconds of our first meeting. Rev. Di Raddo is very down-to-earth and was willing to create the ceremony we wanted. He got to know our personalities and everyone in our wedding thought we had known him for years. He was able to add a little humor throughout the process to help calm nerves. Our wedding day was perfect in every way, but we received the most compliments about Rev. Di Raddo's service. People are still telling us how much they enjoyed his message. I would highly highly highly recommend Wedding Dayz for any bride and groom. It was the BEST decision we made! (aside from the decision to get married of course!).

m we immediately felt comfortable. He told us that he had been asked and would do anything from full ceremony Christian garb to not even saying the word "God." Being that my husband isn't very religious we opted for somewhere in between, more towards the latter. He continued to be responsive even after paying (even gave us an active duty military discount), reviewed each of our personally written vows, and gave us feedback. He also met us at the hotel the night before to go through a quick rehearsal. During the ceremony he was extremely helpful (almost had a rain issue!!), was loud enough for all ceremony guests, made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed, and also was quite funny. He even handed us a handkerchief when we were emotional. By far the best!!!!!!

hing my wedding video. 2 people commented that they liked his ceremony otherwise, but at least 5 people brought up the name thing to us. We just went with his standard vows though we did add an Indian garland exchange. He was very confident and loud, almost like a baptist preacher which I had not been anticipating. We had a rehearsal with him the night before and he just called my husband by his nickname not his full Indian name which is only 2 syllables. The rehearsal was the first time we met him in person, but we video chatted with him and talked on the phone, which is when we practiced all the names, and he had it down so im half wondering if he did it on purpose. (I know foreign names can be difficult to pronounce, if the vowels or emphasis were off we wouldnt have minded, but he replaced an N with an LT which made no sense to anyone because he had it written down in front of him, and I had given a phonetic version in an email) We paid him 400 it would have been 300 if we didnt do the rehearsal. Im missing the point of the rehearsal completely because we didnt go over the ceremony at all (though we had previously) and my husband was confused that he would have to repeat stuff, he had been under the impression all he would have to see is 'I do'. He was so dazed that he repeated his own name wrong during the repeat after me sequence. We had our ceremony in PA because my family is there but its not where we live so it was a challenge finding vendors especially an officiant, since we couldn't meet in person. It was nice that he was able to video chat with us and he was generally friendly. There were a few other very minor things that he had forgot I told him which didn't impact our wedding but looking back just shows that he didn't care much about us on a personal level. Directly after both he rehearsal and the wedding he just disappeared without saying goodbye.

ve we been to where we are counting the minutes 'til cocktail hour??) but he also calmed my nerves and helped me be relaxed so that I really enjoyed every minute of the pre-ceremony and ceremony! I can't say enough about his great personality, friendliness, and superb public speaking. Our bridal party had fun at the rehearsal due to his sense of humor and confident efficiency. I even had one of my husbands friends tell me that she wanted his information so she could use him for her vow renewal!

e did. He has a great voice that really captures your attention.

liments.

re chosen specifically for us. We were very comfortable working with him from our first meeting and he was able provide excellent suggestions for making our wedding ceremony perfect for us. He suggested doing a sand pouring ceremony as a way to include my husband's 4 year old daughter, and we now have a wonderful keepsake to display in our home. I highly recommend Dave as an officiant for your wedding - he will give you peace of mind that your ceremony will be run exactly the way you discuss.

ugh a marraige licence crisis after the wedding. Very friendly! My dad said "He really has a presence about him" :)

on which was very comforting and calming for both of us. It really helped us be prepared. We had asked for a non-religious but traditional ceremony. It was perfect. Not too short and not too long. He made it funny and got the whole group laughing. Many people commented that they liked how unique he was.

er had known it from the emacculant service he provided! He walked through the order of events for our wedding ceremony with us & created the perfect flow! We had an organized quick rehearsal & he showed up early on the wedding day to check in with both if us & let us know he was here & everything would be perfect. We got married on memorial weekend in a garden ceremony & it was a hot one! He pushed right through the ceremony without a flinch. He wasnt faized by the heat or sweat. We couldnt have asked for a better guy to marry us!
