Coolest officiant there is! Dave was very quick to respond and after chatting on the phone we picked a day to meet in person. He was nice enough to meet us in our town. He asked a couple of questions to get to know us better and to prepare for our ceremony.
It was already evident that Dave truly cares about his clients but when covid hit we were blown away. Our October wedding had to be rescheduled (to March) but we still wanted to do a little ceremony with a small group of friends. As soon as we asked Dave if he would marry us in October and then again in March, he was more than willing to do so! Dave once again drove out of his way to meet us and made our day super special with a personalized ceremony. Now we're even more excited for our second ceremony in March!
Dave is cool, calm, and collected. You won't regret choosing him to help celebrate your day.

The Best Officiant, Hands Down
Dave was an incredible asset to our wedding this past weekend. He really cared about creating the perfect ceremony for us, for example timed it perfectly, added/took out what we wanted, and most importantly, made us laugh. He is well-spoken, kind, responsive, and overall a fantastic person who made the perfect officiant. Our guests couldn't get over how wonderful the ceremony was! Hiring him was of the best decisions we made, especially because we will likely be friends for a long time.

Professional and humorous!!
From the moment my husband and I met Dave we knew he would be an excellent officiant. He took the time to get to know us to ensure our vows were personal and special to us. Dave’s humor and kindness, yet professionalism was exactly what was needed during these uncertain times. Due to the pandemic we had to reschedule our wedding, however last minute we decided to elope - Dave jumped in and took the time out of his Monday morning to officiate our small ceremony without hesitation! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate.
