David's premarital course was so rewarding. I loved the way he incorporated personal stories that made the topics both relatable and fun. This course allowed my wife and I to engage in tough topics that initiated some vital conversations. Several months into marriage I still find myself using the listening techniques and conflict resolution strategies outlined in the videos. David's lessons have helped me grow into a more understanding and compassionate husband!
David's premarital course was vital in setting a strong foundation for our marriage. His videos were super easy to access, understand, and they set the stage for the virtual counseling sessions with David. There were many topics that challenged us as a couple leading to a better understanding of each other. I would highly recommend this course to any couple wanting to strengthen their relationship and set the foundation for an amazing, long-lasting marriage. David was also our wedding officiant and his sermon at our wedding was both engaging and personal. I had multiple people come up to us saying it was the best sermon they have heard at a wedding. We will continue to use David's resources and videos to grow our marriage
David was incredible! He was very thorough and asked a lot of questions about what we wanted for our ceremony. He is personable and really knows what he is doing. Everyone had such positive things to say about David after the ceremony, too. He's a crowd-pleaser and happy we chose him to officiate our special day!
David was absolutely amazing! He was so helpful the day before, day of, and afterwards! We were so blessed to have had him as our officiant! Thanks so much David for everything! ❤️
David was great! We completed our pre-marital counseling through him, which definitely enhanced my communication with my husband. He is very understanding and includes both parties during each session. I continued individual counseling services even after the wedding! He also did a great job officiating our wedding. He was very timely and communicated well when prepping for the wedding. I would highly recommend and will continue to keep in contact with him moving forward.
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant than David. From start to finish, he was a true professional, creating a personalized ceremony that perfectly captured our love story. His organization and responsiveness during the planning process made everything stress-free. On our wedding day, David delivered the ceremony flawlessly and even helped my precious groom calm his nerves. Guests were deeply moved, and many expressed how it was one of the most memorable and beautiful ceremonies they had attended. If you want a wedding officiant who goes above and beyond to make your day special, David is the perfect choice. Five stars doesn’t do justice to our gratitude and satisfaction!
David is so friendly and took the time to get to know us! We enjoyed meeting him and he made our special day go so smooth! His personal
Touch to the ceremony was great a fit! Thanks David so much!
We initially heard about David from our wedding coordinator. He was the first on her list of recommendations for wedding officiants. We hired David as our pre-marital counselor. This 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 can't say enough about how amazing David is! I had booked another vendor and when that vendor had to back out (due to moving out of state) just a couple of months before my wedding, I was worried I wouldn't find someone in time. David was there and totally eased my mind. I couldn't be more thankful for him. 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 amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better service for our day! He went over everything with us and made sure it was going to go exactly how we wanted it too!
David did a great job and we really appreciate his time. He was there for us through our entire process and made things easy for us on our end.
David was an absolute gem to work with! We did our premarital counseling with him and he was gracious enough to also agree to officiate our wedding. We learned so much from him and can’t wait to continue to use the tools he taught us for our marriage. Our guest and family members couldn’t stop talking about his beautiful message during our ceremony!
David’s message to us as a bride and groom and the family and friends in attendance was a beautiful, honest, and real message. It was so perfect and we will continue to love and live by his message forever. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony. It wasn’t cheesy, it wasn’t fake- it was a beautiful, sincere message that applies to everyone. Give, give, give.
David did a fantastic job as the officiant. We worked with him prior to/during the Ceremony and he was always in good spirits, on time, and dressed appropriately. 10/10 would recommend!
If you’re looking for someone to officiate your wedding, David is your absolute best choice! He did a wonderful job from start to finish and made us both feel comfortable throughout the whole process. He is super organized, always on time and does a great job communicating with his clients. We also met with him for premarital counseling, and we were extremely glad we did, as there were many lessons we learned that we will carry be able to use throughout our life together. Thank you David!
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 2020, 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 did an amazing job at our ceremony! I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for an officiant. Our wedding day ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much 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.
David was both our officiant and pre-marital counselor and we have nothing but rave reviews about everything.
His counseling was extremely applicable and informative and his style is approachable, allowing us to talk about whatever we wanted.
The ceremony was perfect - he was extremely flexible and nailed all our points we asked for, as well as delivered a great message that both of us loved and connected to.
We would not change a thing and would highly recommend both David's pre-marital counseling and officiating!
David did an amazing job officiating our wedding ceremony. He had a way of making it religious and traditional while keeping things relatable. We recommend David for anyone that wants memorable ceremony. Thank you David for making our special day full of love and great advice!
We found David when we were researching pre-marital counseling options. Our counseling sessions were amazing and I highly recommend him to all couples. He really took the time to get to know us and we asked him to officiate our wedding!
We were looking for a non-religious, pre-marital counseling during which the counselor could help us discover discussion topics and considerations we had not yet covered on our own. David did that for us in several light and enjoyable sessions with focused topics in each session.
David was a perfect choice to help officiate our wedding. He did a beautiful job and was incredibly easy to work with!
David performed an uplifting ceremony with words of wisdom to enrich our marriage.
Hands down Mr Roper is amazing ! He was our wedding officiant for our June wedding . Mr Roper took the time to get to know me and my fiancé . And he brought that Personal knowledge into our ceremony . Our guest are stilling talking about our Wedding officiant , David Roper and how he brought so much love , personality , and symbolism into our special day ! Thank you again David Roper for making our day so special and personal . We will always remember the four F’s of marriage !
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-marital 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 investment 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 reccomend him to all!
David was absolutely great to work with. We decided to do Pre-Martial counseling and me and my wife are both so glad we did. He walked us through everything we wanted to discuss and gave us tremendous advice on how to better our relationship.
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!
David was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. We decided to go through pre-martial counseling with David. It was really eye opening in the best way possible. We really set us up for a life time of happiness. On our wedding day the ceremony was exactly what we wanted, thank you for everything David!
David was extremely helpful, and everything ran smoothly. He helped me feel relaxed in a stressful time. Genuinely nice man, and I would highly recommend him to any one looking to get married.
David was wonderful. He was great about getting to know us and the kind of ceremony that we were looking for. He made the big day memorable and even better than I could have hoped for!
Thank you for David for walking along side us during such an important juncture in our lives.
I will always recommend David because he was more than a pastor, he was our trusted friend and confidant.
David was amazing. He helped make our special day run so smoothly and he was so friendly and genuine. We would highly recommend David to any one and are so thankful he was able to marry us.
David did an extraordinary job officiating our wedding. We couldn’t be more pleased with everything. Everything was perfect.
David was fantastic! Pre-marital counseling sessions were easy to schedule and felt like a break from all of the wedding stress. It was wonderful to have a chance to think about our marriage instead of just "the big day". He also gave us a framework for the ceremony that we could customize to our wishes. The whole experience was stress-free and a highlight of our wedding planning.
David did a great job officiating our wedding. He was very easy going and listened to exactly how we wanted the ceremony to be. Some Religion, not too long etc. When planning the wedding I got sick and he was very accomdating. He FaceTimed so we were able to get everything done that needed to be. He was punctual and professional at the service. We definitely recommend him for your wedding, big or small.
For context, I am a very reserved guy who's wife(now) usually does most of the talking for us, gladly. I was nervous about having to discuss my feelings, let alone personal details about my relationship with my fiance (at the time). But even with all of that stigma and anxiety about the sessions, David immediately impressed me with his ability to dissolve those feelings and use the time we had to really get down to business.
David has a broad range of topics that he can discuss depending on the couple that will only help your marriage be stronger and for you to grow closer to your spouse. He is a regular guy that can understand the guy's point of view but he also has a lot of wisdom and is an expert in communication. This helps him translate to the guys better about their partners and helps us relate to other points of view.
I am honestly very happy that we chose David to do our counseling and very happy with the things he taught us for conflict resolution and communication. David also officiated our wedding and did an awesome job despite us giving him the wrong time to the rehearsal! (sorry about that, man)
David is Awesome! I highly recommend him for both pre-marriage counseling and conducting the ceremony. He has great insights that my wife and I use to this day. His officiating was perfect and very memorable.
David was amazing throughout the process and especially on the big day. He helped talk through everything with us leading up to wedding day and made sure to use our suggestions even though there were many opinions being thrown around. Helped to calm our nerves with some humor and made the ceremony exactly what we wanted. Added personal touches and really was incredible. Would recommend him to anyone!
My husband and I would highly recommend David for pre-martial counseling as well as to be the officiant at your wedding! David did the ceremony at our wedding and it was perfect!
He worked with us to ensure that all the aspects of the ceremony that were important to us were covered and shared and helped us feel comfortable on our big day!
Meeting with David to do pre-marital counseling was also what I had hoped. He always made us feel comfortable and helped lead discussions that were so important to have before entering the covenant of marriage. It is clear that David is well equipped to meet with new families (as well as established families). Many of the communication tips and techniques that we discussed during the counseling sessions have stuck with us and are so helpful in day to day communicating between my husband and me.
I highly recommend David Roper to help you get your marriage started off right!
Best wishes to all the new couples!
