    Perfect Ceremony

    Reverend David is one of the best officiants you could find! I am not a super religious person, but I know it meant something to my husband and his family, so Reverend David was able to incorporate just enough God to make it perfect without being overkill. He wrote a beautiful script for our wedding as well. Our ceremony was outside in a tent in 93* heat, so we appreciate how smoothly and quickly he had the ceremony go so our guests could get back inside. We had him come to rehearsal as well which I think was good for our parents to see how the day was going to go. Reverend David sent us a copy of our marriage certificate within two days of our ceremony, so hopefully we will get our license quickly. Thank you for being a part of our day!

    Reverend By Request's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m delighted that I could put everyone’s nerves at ease. You both were a delight to work with and I wish you all the best.

    Wow! Being married by Reverends Gary and David was the single greatest choice we made in planning our wedding. From our first conversation and subsequent meeting, we knew we would look no further. They are professional, AND warm and welcoming. They worked closely with us to plan the perfect ceremony...personalized to us. And their attendance at our rehearsal luncheon was the icing on the cake. Our families absolutely loved them. They even took time to bless our new home. And since the big day (July 29), each guest I have talked to has gone out of his/her way to mention how outstanding the Reverends and ceremony were. Make sure you meet with the Reverends before you book your wedding officiants. Thanks, Reverends!

    I have to say, Reverend David and Reverend Gary are both wonderful people. Reverend David was our officiant for us. He created a wonderful, beautiful personalized ceremony for us. Any questions I had he was very responsive and professional towards us. He truly made the wedding ceremony process easy for us to handle. He was very kind and considerate towards my wife but our friends and families as well. Let me give you an example. He called me and let me know he was in an automobile accident and had to wear a boot on his foot. He asked us if we were comfortable still with him being the officiant in case we did not want to see the boot in our wedding photos. We told him we had no issue and would love him to still be our officiant. The day of the ceremony Reverend David and Gary were both there to help with the ceremony and it was a wonderful experience. We received many compliments for how sincere and positive he was towards everyone. It was a very emotional experience for all and I am so happy he was a part of the wedding. Please make sure if you are looking for a Reverend to use him.

    Rev. David has made the whole wedding process very easy for us. He has been GREAT to work with: very nice, professional, organized, and most importantly responded immediatley to any question we had! Everything for the ceremony was laid out for us to customize how we wanted. Everything went perfect and could not have done it without Rev. David. To anyone out there that is looking for an officiant and do not know who to choose, we were the same way, but we are extremely happy with the service Rev. David provided for us! Again.. Thank you!!!

    Reverend David Andrew performed a beautiful, memorable ceremony for us, even after we contacted him less than two weeks before our special day. His responses were prompt, helpful, and supportive. The ceremony was exactly as we imagined it. We couldn't have chosen a better officiant for our day. Thanks so much Reverend David!

    My husband and I are both Catholic but planned to marry outside of the church. We wanted to find someone who would make our ceremony as close to a Catholic wedding as possible. After doing quite a bit of research, I found Reverends by Request. Reverend David married us and I couldn't have asked for anyone better! He was extremely flexible and so easy to work with! He did exactly what we wanted and focused on us, love, God, and marriage. Our families and friends thought he was wonderful as well and that he did an amazing job. We would recommend Reverends by Request to anyone!

    Reverend David Andrew performed our ceremony. He was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL to work with. He was caring, detailed and above all just a wonderful person. They were recommended to us by our wedding venue, and when I first called him on the phone, I felt so comfortable speaking to him. And when we met in person, I knew we had picked the riight Reverend to perform our ceremony. During that first visit, we also had the pleasure of meeting the other reverend - Reverend Gary Mazzio. He too was as warm as a person. Love......love.....love.....everything that Reverend David did for us. Will DEFINITELY use him again for any future family events. He is now part of our family. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would.

    Rev. Gary performed a beautiful ceremony for us. We could not be happier with Rev. David & Rev. Gary. From the initial planning to the rehearsal to the ceremony itself, it was perfect. I would highly recommend them.

    I agree with one of the previous reviewers. We also didn’t want a Circus or as they put it “Night Club Act” atmosphere!The first time I emailed them, Reverend David responded immediately. I had made a request to 3 Officiants to email me back with their prices. Only Reverend David emailed me back as requested. The other two called me; I didn’t ask to be called… Reverend David’s first email was full of the information I was looking for, and this helped us decide to go with them. Reverend Gary actually performed our wedding, Reverend David was already booked. Rev. Gary did a wonderful job! The ceremony was all about us, and it was just like we had discussed. Reverend Gary showed up to the rehearsal and wedding early. He has so much experience with weddings and it showed, especially at the rehearsal. We have a couple of friends that are planning their weddings, and have ask for our recommendation; we only have 3 words “Reverend by Request”! We will also keep their card for any future Baptisms. Thank you both!!!

    Reverend Gary Phillip is a SUPERSTAR! What a wonderful human being and an incredible Officiant. I found Reverend Gary Phillip literally about 2 weeks before our long planned interfaith wedding. Our original Rabbi seemingly double booked himself and there we were with everything all set and no one to marry us! Although not a Rabbi, Reverend Gary Phillip handled EVERYTHING with grace, honor and dignity. We were still able to have parts of the Jewish Ceremony, like the breaking of the glass, so my husband’s Jewish family members didn’t feel left out. While our wedding was perfect in every way from weather to food to entertainment, Reverend Gary made it heartfelt, special and unique. We had so many compliments about him from our guests and family and I would highly recommend him for weddings or any other needs. You won't be disappointed!!!

    We would like to thank you, Reverends Gary and David, for all your hard work and effort you did to make our wedding ceremony intimate and memorable. You were very accommodating and responsive to our needs. We were able to enjoy ourselves because we knew we were both in good hands. Some of our guest thought they were a family members or family friend because they helped everyone feel so comfortable as well as we did! We hope to be able to refer their services to all of our friends and loved ones!!! Good luck in all you do and thank you again!!
