nd attentive. His "homework" and pre-wedding counseling really opened our eyes to things many couples, including us, may not be focusing on. The time leading up to our wedding, his homework assignments really opened out eyes and brought us even closer than we were when we walked into his office. When it came to the ceremony, the program he created and the verses he chose were so on the money with what we had hoped to have for our ceremony. We couldn't be any more impressed with how much he truly listened to our words, and the way he incorporated our "homework" into the ceremony. There is truly nothing cookie cutter about David. His personal touch and words to cater to who we are as a couple truly amazed us. To any couples who want to truly get a hand up in their relationship, as amazing as it might already be, and also know and feel like he truly put in the time and effort to get to know who YOU are as a couple while at the alter, David is truly second to none. It's been several weeks since our wedding, and when the subject of the wedding comes up, people still bring up how great David was. They usually mention the fact that it wasn't a "run of the mill" ceremony, because David did so well to make it so personal, keep things moving along, and the consensus of the favorite part is how he kept everyone in the crowd so engaged because he finds a way to bring in a bit of laughter. We can not possibly thank him enough! All I can hope to the couples that may read this is, while shopping around, take a chance and a moment to talk to David and better yet, take a meeting. To all couples shopping around, CONGRATULATIONS! Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Armstrong

was beautifully prepared. Many of our guests complimented on what a great ceremony it was and how David kept the crowd interested and engaged the whole time. We definitely recommend The Wedding Chaplain!

ith us, made us feel comfortable with him right away, and was extremely detailed. I strongly recommend him!

always willing to help. I would recommend to anyone!

appreciated his conviction for marriage and faith most of all.

e us wonderful advice that we will continue to use throughout our marriage. During covid he was able to help guide us through some of the rough ups and downs in the wedding planning process as well as in our relationship. We have gotten many compliments on the flow of our ceremony and how it felt. David really knew us as people, which was something we really wanted with our officiant. Overall he was fantastic and we highly recommend him!

as well as our guests, made for such an enjoyable and unforgettable day!

y made the right choice with our officiant. Pastor Dave and his wife have both become our friends.

nd him! 5 Stars all the way :)

His message during our ceremony was so unique and perfect for us. I can’t recommend David more highly!

it seemed like we knew him our whole lives. He really tailored the ceremony to fit us. My husband and I are not religious, but our parents are, so he was able to include a short but sweet religious piece in the ceremony, without it being the focal point. Exactly what we wanted. Three months later we are still getting compliments on how amazing and fitting the ceremony was.

I found David on the knot and he was a dream. We got so many compliments on what an amazing job he did.

85 degree weather and he managed to do so! Thank you so much :)

e-marriage meetings via phone since we were long-distance, and this was a great way to get to know David while also preparing us for the big step we were about to take. He used those meetings to also get to know us as a couple, which translated into a ceremony that felt very personal and matched our style. David was a very solid presence at both the rehearsal and ceremony, which was helpful in calming our own nerves. We certainly recommend David and his company to anyone considering them.

f he has known us for many years. The ceremony had the perfect balance of all the traditional wedding things you want; mixed with emotions and some humor. Every one of our guests raved about how perfect the ceremony was! We truly enjoyed working with David during the pre-wedding planning and appreciated the time and effort he gave us to make our day as perfect as possible. If we could leave 10 stars, we would!!

because Dale was wonderful! He put together a beautiful ceremony and helped us through the whole process. He suggested we have a wine box ceremony which our guests really liked. Dale was professional and would go out of his way to check in with us to see if we needed anything. If you’re looking for someone detail oriented then Dale is your guy!

thing that remained constant was our officiant David Anderson. We first met David early on in the planning process and he was extremely professional and personable. He helped to put my wife and I both at ease during the whole process and made it fun for the both of us. He personalized our ceremony to fit both of our wishes, and kept everything light and fun throughout. We received so many compliments from our guests about David’s ceremony, and my wife and I honestly can’t say enough great things about him!

, we joined our households and worked diligently to protect our family, friends and coworkers by staying apart. Our decision to marry on the third anniversary of our meeting, December 20, was a difficult one to make. Our plans were for a wedding in 2021 but we chose not to wait despite the challenge it would create. To bring our loved ones together when all indications were to the contrary. When we contacted Reverend Dr. David Anderson to perform our ceremony, it was with much trepidation and deep concern in many ways. Diane and I wanted to be married, to keep our loved ones safe but to have a memorable experience. Our zoom meetings with David inspired us in many ways, from his counseling on later in life marriages to understanding our relationship, we knew his insight would be a value to us for years to come. He listened to us intently and made our thoughts the centerpiece of the ceremony. David has an easy way about him, and our fears and doubts melted away like the winters snows. The day came and the service was beautiful. David’s words of God’s encouragement and understanding were wrapped in the love we bear for one another. He took time to learn about Diane, her family and her feeling for me. He did the same for me in a gentle and humorous way. All of this came through in the lessons, the scripture and hopes that were evident in our ceremony. His suggestion of the “wine box” was wonderful and it became a family effort to create the box which now contain our written notes to one another, the sermon and a chance for an annual reminder of why we chose to marry. Our family and friends all asked for copies of the sermon, our mothers were particularly struck by the words we shared and the thoughts that were dedicated during the service. A beautiful day, a wonderful service, a new beginning. Thank you David for all that you gave to a glowing bride and her appreciative groom; peace, reassurance and everlasting hope.

hile wedding planning. He had some fun ideas such as doing the wine box ceremony in which the bride and groom write letters to each other and place them in the wine box with a bottle of wine during the wedding ceremony. He also suggested that we ask our mothers to write letters to us too and they also participated in the ceremony by dropping their letters in the wine box. He was flexible with us regarding doing an outdoor ceremony, writing our own vows, and he even did a hand fasting ceremony with us to “tie the knot” at our request. He has a lot of experience with officiating weddings and he knows how to guide you through the process for a smooth wedding day!

g to meet or answer the phone, any time. Nick's cousin is getting married next year, and loved him at our ceremony so much that they are planning to have him officiate their ceremony, as well!! Scott made the ceremony feel so personal - he spoke such kind words toward our relationship, and tailored the entire ceremony to our love, just as we anticipated!! With covid, he was not able to come to rehearsal, but you would never have known. Everything went smoothly, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to share this moment with!! He mailed our license timely, as well.

ividuals and as a couple. It was the most US ceremony. He was very flexible and so down to earth. He introduced us to a "wine box ceremony" which was awesome. We can't wait to look through that box on our 1 year anniversary. At the reception, people kept asking "Where did you find your officiant!?" Literally he was that good, you guys. I am so grateful for my experience with him. 100/10 recommend.

tations for our ceremony. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted and needed regardless of constant changes to details because of COVID. Not to mention, he is just a really good person and was genuine in his happiness and excitement for us from start to finish.
