Professional

Our partnership with David was exceptional from start to finish. They took the time to get to know us as a couple and quickly adapted to our particular ceremony structure. Their warm and engaging presence made everyone feel included, and they struck the perfect balance between being professional and personable. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and will work with you to make your day as memorable as possible, I highly recommend David!

Tania and Scott’s wedding

David was great to work with from beginning to end for our Bilingual wedding. Great communication, very professional, and clearly experienced. He was calm and collected even in the hectic beginnings when we had to push the ceremony back almost 30 minutes. Thank you David from both Tania and myself you were excellent!

Magical and beautiful ceremony

We chose David because he was bilingual and all the great’s reviews. Also the background of the company and the touch storytelling about his wife. He made our custom ceremony more special and to be honest was magical! He get ours guests to follow the whole ceremony and made some special moments for us.

amazing! 11-12-2022

I was lucky to find David on somewhat of a short notice (roughly a month or less before the wedding) . He answered all my questions very quickly, and any email I sent he always responded right away. We decided to do a bi lingual wedding for some of our Spanish speaking guests and it was perfect! we were able to customize our ceremony to how we wanted it to flow. David showed up early to the ceremony I was not able to speak with him how the plan was too because my 2 year old was having a meltdown minutes before the ceremony which made it start a few minutes late but he was great and rolled with it and it was such a beautiful and amazing ceremony. Many of my guests complimented on David! would highly recommend him to anyone!


thank you so much again David!

David saved the day

I had never been to a wedding before, let alone planned my own, so I didn't really know what to expect when I reached out to David. I didn't realize how big of a part the officiant really plays- I figured they lead the ceremony and vows and whatnot, but David did so much more than that. He went above and beyond in preparing and informing us of what our options were ahead of time, and brought such a joyful energy to our little wedding the day of.

Through no fault of anyone, our wedding day was like something out of a sitcom where everything just kind of falls apart- so how David was able to roll with the punches and keep the show running was truly a testament to his good humor and professionalism. We ended up having to ask him to freestyle something for us with the time we were given, and he really nailed it. He made people laugh, and cry (in a good way), and just feel at ease. Thank you David! If we decide to get married a 3rd time we'll be reaching out 😉

David Cooper was Excellent

David was wonderful from start to finish. He officiated our friend's wedding with humor and love which was just what they wanted. He was organized, kind, and on time. We highly recommend! This wedding was at The Ruins in Seattle with roughly 100 guests. Thank you David!

Calm, collected, cool, and hilarious!

David went above and beyond at our small and intimate wedding we had in October 2021. We had him show up for rehearsal the night before at the lodge we were getting married at which made the next day feel so much easier to navigate since we were definitely going for a non traditional vibe for our intimate wedding. David was so helpful and easy to work with and was the exact officiant we were looking for since he specializes in handfasting rituals. Even though our bridal party forgot the cords at the ceremony, he made the crowd feel at ease with his humor which I felt made the ceremony absolutely perfect and awesome! I would totally recommend him to anyone getting married in the Seattle/Snohomish area. Thank you so much!!

Highly Satisfied!

When I reached out to several wedding officiants on Wedding Wire, David was the only one who responded in a prompt professional manner. Our total experience with him was very positive and memorable! I'm glad we chose Forever Together.

Amazing officiant!

David and Joanna were awesome!

We were initially conversing with Joanna through email and she was very informative and responded very quickly to our emails.

David was who we met with in person; and my husband and I hit it off with him very well. He was very flexible in customizing the type of wedding ceremony we were wanting. We ultimately decided to work with him because he made us feel comfortable, he had experience in all types of ceremonies (we wanted to include both Filipino and Irish traditions) our ceremony and he was super funny!

We opted to add a rehearsal the night before our wedding - David showed early and was good in catching up some bridal party members that showed up late. The day of the wedding he did more than we could have imagined. We're so happy he included humor in the ceremony - it really made us feel at ease.

Overall, if you're on the fence about deciding to work with David; I'd highly suggest to do so! You won't be disappointed.

David was great!

David was a great officiant! Very early on in the process he gave us a lot of material to do research on to make sure we have time to pick/customize our own ceremony. He is also very patient and responsive to all of our questions and emails. He also has a great sense of humor, which match our ceremony vibes perfectly! Thank you so much David! Our ceremony wouldn't have been so amazing without you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Reverends David and Joanne, and I found them friendly, professional, and genuinely concerned for the couple's joyful celebration. They go out of their way to meet their client's needs and desires for a great wedding. I happily refer any couple to the Forever, Together when I am not able to serve.

Forever Together is such a great wedding officiant to work with! We worked together on a wedding and he did such a great job both at the rehearsal as well as the wedding ceremony itself. He has a calmness about him that helps put everyone at ease, and he also uses just the right amount of joking around to calm the nerves and make everyone laugh! I would love to work with them again! ~Simply by Tamara Nicole~
