Reviewed On 7/19/2022 by Dustin A
When it comes to the definition of excellence and pride in a profession, David is at the head of the pack. Right from the first phone call to potentially hire David to the moment he bound our hearts and hands in marriage, he was so respectful a...
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

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.

Special days have been hard to come by in 2020. So when I asked Diane to be my bride in April of this year it was a very bright spot in an otherwise dismal socially divided and pandemically stricken world. Our lives were changing in many ways...
, 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.

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!

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.

really took the time to get to know us and develop the type of service we not only needed but was looking for. These meetings were some of our best moments as he helped us to further develop our relationship as a couple-there are no words to express the gratitude for the growth in those times. David highly suggests that couples conduct “business meetings” and participate in a date night weekly. Time management can get the best of us but who knew how beneficial these are?! David provided suggestions on how to incorporate different, symbolic events such as the Wine Box Ceremony-if you haven’t heard of this please read about it because its’s nothing short of a time capsule that I’m sure we’ll be looking forward to on our anniversaries. As far as the actually ceremony goes, you can bet that he will not only perform, but he will be one of the highlights of the day/night because he will have your guests talking about the sermon he provides for days after. He does his homework folks, he really gives a heartfelt story of who you are as an individual but also how you are as an intertwined couple. David engages the guests and really brings it home with providing, in our opinion, the greatest joining of two people. David delivers exactly what you were envisioning and then some. We HIGHLY encourage and recommend those in love to reach out to David for his services… you can be, rest assured, that this will be one thing that will be perfect for your special day!
