Dave is Amazing!

I got married in 2019 on NYE in Cincinnati. Dave drove all the way to Cincinnati for the initial meet and the ceremony. He talked us through the process and I really appreciate that. He is very kindhearted. If you’re looking for someone who is positive and listens to what you want to do, go for Dave.

Very personal and unique experience

Dave was great! He spent almost 2 hours with us about 6 weeks before the wedding getting to know us and our story so he could craft a wonderful story to share with our guests. He did such a fantastic job that MULTIPLE guests thought we knew him prior to our wedding! He was knowledgable on the small details that go into a wedding ceremony and helped us feel at ease, prepared, and most importantly comfortable so we could just enjoy the time with each other. He was flexible on rehearsal space and timing and even helped us navigate the Kentucky marriage license laws. We have such wonderful memories of his words about us, and we are so glad we chose him to officiate our big day!

Brunch Micro Wedding

We are an older bride & groom/second wedding.
We wanted an officiant that would "get us".
Dave was very accommodating in meeting times and wedding time. We wanted an 11am wedding.
Dave made our ceremony so personal and fun.

Dave Evans made our ceremony so special

Dave went above and beyond for me and my husband, and gave us a thoughtful, heartfelt, and professionally delivered ceremony. He met us several times before the big day to assure that he really got to know our story, our vision for our vows, and truly listened with genuine care. He gave many suggestions and really put us at ease. 100 % recommending Dave!
