We will continue to use David's resources and videos to grow our marriage

is was the best decision we made! We looked forward to meeting with David every week. He helped us navigate conversations in order to strengthen our relationship.
As our wedding officiant, David provided us with a sense of peace during the hustle and bustle of the wedding day. He took time to meet with my husband before the ceremony and pray over him with his groomsmen. David gave a short sermon/talk (as requested) before our vows. We thoroughly enjoyed it and still talk about what he shared with us.
I highly recommend asking David to officiate your wedding AND pre-marriage counselor. We are very thankful for our experience with David!
David was a great pre-marital counselor and wedding officiant. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the pre-marital counseling sessions as David gave us a list of topics to choose from...
, then gave a custom tailored counseling pathway to those topics. David was a great mediator and helped us navigate difficult conversations around finances, roles & responsibilities, and having/raising kids. He has a calm demeanor yet he has intention behind his questions or affirmations.
Choosing a life partner is one of the most important decisions you will make. I would highly recommend engaging him if you are interested in prioritizing your relationship with your significant other.
David was very professional and helped calm my nerves before the ceremony.
David did everything we asked him for and more. Short and sweet ceremony like we wanted and made sure everyone enjoyed.

I had so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was and I couldn't be happier. I truly believe that things happen for a reason, and I believe David was meant to officiate our wedding. I would recommend him to anyone!!

David was absolutely wonderful as both our premarital counselor and officiant of our wedding. We actually had the pleasure of him marrying us twice (first during the pandemic in 20...
20, and again with all of our family present two years later). Both ceremonies were absolutely wonderful, and David delivered a great message that everyone loved. Thank you David for everything!

David.
Choosing an officiant was a really important decision for our wedding. David made the wedding ceremony so special and perfect. Before the wedding, we did premarital counseling with...
him, and I’m very happy we did that. He asked us what kind of ceremony we wanted (religious, non religious, etc) and it was exactly what we wanted. He delivered a beautiful message and many family members and friends thought the same as well. David made our wedding ceremony personalized and special and something that we think about still and will for a long time.

I don't know how else to say this: David was the perfect counselor and officiant to guide my wife and I into and through our wedding day. I am so glad that we decided to do pre-mar...
ital counseling with him before the big day. Through his pre-marital counseling, my wife and I got to know each other on a more intimate level and I felt that we strengthened our already strong foundation before we said "I do". Also, it was such a pleasure getting to know David personally beforehand. I strongly encourage all couples to seek pre-marital counseling whether you think you need it or not. It has already helped my wife and I to transition into our lives together.
My wife and I really enjoyed David as our officiant. He was there to help guide us through one of the most important days of our lives, and for that I will always be grateful. I highly recommend speaking to David before your big day!
David is AWESOME! David was one of the best parts of our entire wedding experience and I would recommend him to anyone seeking a ceremony officiant and/or counseling. The investmen...
t you make in working with David is far more valuable than anything else you purchase for your wedding. David was awesome as our pre-marital counselor and both my wife and I always looked forward to each of our sessions with him. The counseling experience not only helped us learn about ourselves and each other, but we were able to connect with David which made having him officiate our wedding much more meaningful. Much of what you purchase for a wedding only lasts for a single day, but David’s counseling will serve you for a lifetime. My wife and I are excited to continue our counseling with David to help each other and our marriage grow stronger. We highly recommend booking David for wedding and counseling needs!
David was incredible! He did both our premarital counseling and our ceremony and both deserve so much praise. We really enjoyed the time we spent with him leading up to the wedding...
preparing for our marriage. He opened a lot of doors for conversations we had not had and helped us learn more about communicating effectively. And with us living far from his area we were able to do Skype calls and we did not feel like anything was compromised doing our sessions this way. And we had a ton of people compliment our ceremony, thanks to David. He honored all of our wishes and made it moment we will never forget.
David was amazing! My husband and I could not have asked for anyone better. He sent samples of his work and allowed us to fit it to our personalities. We are forever grateful and r...

On our big day, it was great having David at our ceremony. From calming my nerves before walking down the aisle to giving a wonderful message that both us and our guests loved. I highly recommend David to anyone wanting a professional, easy going, and all around great guy to go through these important steps with. It’s no wonder why, he’s been rated “Best Of Weddings” on The Knot. If you’re needing counseling, or an officiant definitely give David a call. We’re so glad we did! Thanks again for everything, David!
