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.

BIS counseling with David before our marriage as well, which my fiancé and I both agreed was very beneficial. Rehearsal and the ceremony were both so smooth and easy thanks to David. David made our ceremony memorable and meaningful and we had numerous compliments. Thank you for being amazing David!

uld not meet a more easy going guy. David was always flexible to have calls to answer any and all questions as well. He did a fantastic job regarding our ceremony as well! There were countless compliments regarding his humorous yet genuine sermon. Overall, if you are a couple who is looking for a kind, organized, and genuine minister, David is your guy!

tayed with us every step of the way, through multiple venue and date adjustments. His email to us when we explained our situation was titled "take a deep breath". He had our best interests in mind from start to finish and it showed in the ceremony he performed. Nothing could have topped what he put together. It was the perfect mix of religious but not too much, tear-jerking but not sobbing the entire time, even the length was perfect. He is personable, cares about the couple and their journey together, and puts his all into his work. An absolute pleasure to work with, cannot recommend enough!

email or text with crazy questions that he was respond to immediately. He truly care about his couples and wants it to be everything you have ever dreamt of. Im so glad we found Dale. I will recommend him to anybody I know getting married. Truly remarkable experience and a great person all around. We received so many compliments on how he ran the ceremony... no words can describe how he made our day!! Thank you Dale!

ou so much David!

tact and a true pleasure to work with. We formed a personal relationship with David before our marriage with counseling sessions that deepened our understanding of each other as well as allowing him to get to know us. The Ceremony was completely and perfectly catered to our exact personalities and he was able to incorporate all of the details that were important to us. We had numerous people that came up to us at our reception and told us how the ceremony redefined how they thought about love. When our original wedding plan was derailed due to COVID-19 David stepped up and married us on our original date in March as well as again in front of family and friends on in August. We could not give David a high enough review for his services. Thank you again from a happy bride and groom!

y accommodating.

r anxiety. He found a way to incorporate all of our parents and grandparents (there’s a lot of them), he offered to let anyone speak during the ceremony, and he gave us the idea of a wine box, which we absolutely loved! We had never heard of a wine box before, but it absolutely fit us perfectly. When it came to the ceremony, I can’t say enough great things about him. He was the perfect mix between serious, sweet, and funny. So many of our guests came up to us at the reception and asked where we had found him and told us how wonderful they thought he was. If we could do it again, we’d pick him over and over again! Highly recommend!

nd we are so glad we did. He is very personable and well spoken. He was incredibly organized in our meetings and during rehearsal.

ersonalized and heartfelt. Our guests just loved him and couldn’t say enough good things about him! We would highly recommend David!

r wedding day. I highly recommend David Anderson if you're looking for an officiant or similar services.

anted to marry each other, which he ended up reading some of them at our ceremony. This was such a unique touch to our ceremony. We also wanted to do something different, and we ended up doing a wine box ceremony that he recommended and everyone loved it! I have received so many compliments on our service, and would absolutely recommend him for your wedding ceremony!

twice before our big day, and I feel got to know us as people and as a couple. Our ceremony was so amazing and truly about us. We received so many compliments about what a fabulous job he did. David was easy to work with and will not disappoint!

t a person who takes his calling seriously and is focused on leading couples forward into a long and prosperous life together. We were lucky to have stumbled upon his information in our frantic search for an officiant. Our guests were astounded with the detail and insight he added to our wedding message and his advice and assistance through the whole process was an added bonus. Thank you Reverend for adding so much meaning and significance to our day and for helping us focus on the journey ahead.

he really took the time to get to know us, which ultimately led to an amazing ceremony. During the ceremony, not only did he focus on my husband and I as a couple, but he also talked about us as individuals, and even got all of our family members involved. We did not have a religious ceremony, but my husband's mother is Jewish, and it really meant a lot her for us to break the traditional glass. He executed this for us no problem. We received so many compliments on our ceremony because of David. We are so grateful a friend referred us to him - he truly made the entire ceremony so special.

! Just the most perfect day!

e ensuring our ceremony was personal and beautiful in every way. He is passionate about what he does and it absolutely shows. Michael and I were so blessed and so thankful to have Dale preside over our special day and would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who takes pride in ensuring everything is perfect for your ceremony!

ceremony!

le together. The staff before, during, and after the wedding were wonderful. They made sure everyone was where they needed to be at what time and the entire ceremony ran so smoothly because of this. The marriage counseling sessions we did with David were so enlightening and educational. We didn't want them to be over by the time they were over! We have received feedback from friends and family that our wedding was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever been to! You are making the right decision by choosing to have your ceremony at Paradise Church!

efore the wedding were personal and meaningful. We received many compliments from our guests on David's service - he was welcoming, funny, and helped make our day exactly how we wanted.

nd David throughout the wedding planning process to not only discuss the wedding day, but discuss our future together as a couple--something that not all wedding officiants provide. We loved how interactive our wedding ceremony was and received wonderful feedback from our guests-many thought we knew David for years! David is professional and supportive, made this process so easy, and we look forward to having him as a resource in our marriage for years to come. He is an engaging public speaker with the audience, and you will not be disappointed with choosing him for your wedding day!

eremony that is exactly what you are looking for; being able to join together so many traditions and practices into one beautiful ceremony. Our friends and family asked us how long we had known him before the wedding.

thanks to Dale). It felt so personal and just perfect. He adds in small things from papers you fill out and it truly made our ceremony feel like home. We got so many compliments on our amazing ceremony. Thank you Dale, you were amazing. Highly recommend Dale if you want a personal feel for a wedding.

ything go so smoothly, from our first initial visits, to the rehearsal and finally wedding day. He personalized our ceremony so perfectly added humor just at the right spots and made it traditional enough that my dad was happy. Everyone raved about how much they enjoyed it and that it wasn't just another cookie cutter ceremony. Thank you David for everything!

first conversation, he was interested in learning about us and our families and our wants and needs for the ceremony. Not only is Dale extremely personable, but he is very detail-oriented and thorough; he made sure all bases were covered and kept us updated on everything as the process moved along. We were in communication often as questions came up, and he was quick to respond, share his thoughts, and provide suggestions. The night before the ceremony, he spent a lot of time with us and our families going over everything so we were all comfortable and ready. And the day of, Dale delivered a beautiful ceremony just like I knew he would. I would recommend Dale to ANYONE with 110% confidence. If you are looking for a wonderful person to officiate your wedding, look no further!

remony special and individualized. He truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend.

ceremony and different aspects we wanted to include to personalize it. He suggested that we do a wine ceremony which ended up being one of our (and our guests!) favorite parts of the ceremony. We were unsure of how to incorporate a deceased family member into the wedding and Scott had a wonderful presentation of the roses idea which went over with the family extremely well. Our ceremony was beautiful, several people complimented us on it, and I couldn't have been happier with Rev. Scott. He was always willing to chat with us, make changes to the ceremony where we asked him to, came to the rehearsal, and was early for the ceremony. It was a truly wonderful experience.

s again Scott!

ss went smooth because of David experience and professionalism. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted and pictured. He kept the day organized and people knew exactly knew what they were supposed to be doing because of his guidance. All of our guests thought that we had known David for years! We had a perfect day and thank David for helping that happen. I would highly recommend him for anyone that is searching for an officiant.

mality. We just wanted something short and private. I met with Rev. Lautz and found him to be very friendly and personable. After meeting with Rev. Lautz, he customized a ceremony for us. Soon afterward, he married us in our own home and he not only made the ceremony brief but also made it special and personalized it nicely. One other thing that I would like to note is that Rev. Lautz was genuinely excited to be a part of making this a special day. Whether yours is a very large formal event or a small simple one, I am confident that he will perform exactly what you are looking for and will help make it a special day for you as well.

to him. He made time in his schedule to meet with us face to face on a weekend that we happened to be in town. He asked questions to get to know Matt and I, and it made us feel like he really cared for our relationship. We had multiple phones calls leading up to the wedding and each time he gave us great advice for our engagement, wedding day, marriage and all the days of our future. He did, unfortunately and last minute have to miss our rehearsal, for no fault of his own, but he made sure the venue had everything they needed to stand in for him, so we could still have our walk through. He suggested a wine box ceremony that all my guests thought was a great idea and makes me very excited for our 1 year wedding anniversary. It is a bit strange having an almost complete stranger have such a big role in your marriage, but Rev. David did an excellent job.

ne I heard most was how awesome David was. He added a personal touch that most couples don't get to experience. Many of our guests commented (some even wrote notes) about how interesting our ceremony was. He was anything but boring!

to everyone, you definitely won't be disappointed!

ediately got the ball rolling. We had the pleasure of working with Dale as our officiant and he went above and beyond to make our ceremony as special as possible. He answered all the questions we had and was genuinely excited about tailoring a ceremony that we wanted. We can’t say enough good things about Dale, he was sincere, thoughtful, excited, went above and beyond what we expected and was in constant communication (even if we were slightly slow in responding some times). The ceremony was amazing, again, words don’t do justice to what an awesome job that Dale did. We got compliments all night from guests about how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Would recommend them to anyone, as they did a superlative job and did it on such short notice.

ble and supportive. This helped play directly into the ceremony. It was perfect. How personal, meaningful, close, fun, and spiritual. We received countless compliments for how beautifully done the ceremony was. We’d highly recommend to connect with David. You and your partner will forever be happy with the decision!

ything. I’m sooo happy we choose Scott...

t with us several times before the wedding and get to know us and our preferences for the ceremony. The ceremony went very smoothly and just how I envisioned it thanks to Scott!

r guests throughout the night on how beautiful the ceremony was which meant a lot being that both my husband and I come from Catholic families. We highly recommend David not only based off of our ceremony, but also because he really took the time to get to know us throughout our meetings. David started our day off with one of the nicest, most sincere ceremony’s we have ever been apart of and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture two lives coming together to start a new chapter in life.

ented us on finding such a good officiant! Book him!! You wont regret it.

throughout. If you want a ceremony that is full of meaning and feels as though it is yourself, your spouse, and Reverend David, he is the perfect man for the job. I absolutely would recommend him and will be using him for vow renewal in the future!

hed high and low for someone to perform our wedding ceremony, and accommodate my needs. As a disabled bride, I had certain requirements for our ceremony. Rev. David fulfilled all my requirements for our ceremony. He was willing to travel to our destination; which was close to home for us, but a distance for him. He made our ceremony less stressful, and beautiful. Thank you Rev. David for all that you did.

The perfect combination of humor and sincerity. David was so very laid back and calm, which is always in short supply during the wedding process. He made great suggestions to us to help our ceremony run smoothly. He also provides great pre-marital counseling, which I feel is pretty unique when you are choosing an officiant outside of your own church. I would pick him again in a heartbeat.

nning process. We received numerous compliments on the ceremony. Dave made the ceremony very personal and incorporated the values we felt were important to us. The ceremony was perfect, and I would recommend Dave to any bride and groom looking for an officiant.

to know each other very well and he's so easy to talk to. My husband and I will definitely meet with him in the future! The ceremony made you feel like he knew us for years and he had a wonderful surprise for us at our ceremony! Nobody could have done a better job than him, he was absolutely perfect ! We had sooooo many compliments about David from our friends and family! I could go on forever about how he made our day absolutely amazing!

epared to walk down the aisle. We've had the pleasure of seeing David in action two times previously at other family members' weddings and he always makes the ceremony a memorable experience.

s so much fun to work with and he kept us laughing the whole time. Thank you for everything!

nd funny throughout the ceremony that it kept the event magical and serious for the occasion but fun at the same time instead of some ceremonies I've been to that almost felt solemn. Many of our guests commented it was one of the best ceremonies they've ever witnessed! I highly recommend David as your wedding officiant! We could not be happier with how our ceremony turned out!

and extremely helpful. He has a great understanding on relationships and will be someone we will reach out to for guidance along the way.

dly, organized, accommodating (will customize and personalize your ceremony, have meetings over the phone) and has great suggestions from his past experience. We did not get married in a church, but we still wanted to have a religious ceremony. He provided us the perfect "religious lite" ceremony. We had many friends and relatives tell us that Dave was AWESOME, and we agreed!

r wedding ceremony was short & sweet, and David made it so special! We would highly recommend David to anyone looking for an officiant!

get along with.He is a great marriage counsalor and we both loved the two sessions we had with him. They were not boring sessions. He makes you think about your relationship and gives you ways to handle real life problems and situations that might come up during our marriage. We took all of his advice to heart and will always remember how he helped us. I know if we ever need help in the future that he would not hesitate to do so. He is a great guy and I HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding.

, caring and very knowledgeable about the wedding process. He gave great recommendations on what would and would not work for our specific group and ceremony, and everything worked wonderfully. The whole audience both laughed and cried during the ceremony and everyone said he was their favorite part of the entire weekend! Thank you for making our special day so memorable!!

any questions we may of had. Our ceremony was beautiful and we have Joseph O'Malley to thank for that!
