Picture perfect ceremony

Rev Dave was a perfect match for us! It seemed as though we’d known him our whole lives! Our guest kept asking if he was a friend of ours and saying how beautiful the ceremony was. Not a dry eye in the crowd. Heaven sent minister who definitely has a gift

Carl Officiated our Wedding in Oct'25 and it was great!

Carl was very helpful throughout the process, which was very comforting for us who didn't have much experience with how a typical ceremony goes.

He had a list of suggestions and options for us to pick and choose how we wanted the ceremony to go, what needs to be said, and that helped us to easily choose the readings that resonated with us the most, without having to come up with them from scratch either.

He was always available to us via phone and quick to respond via email too! He was considerate in stepping aside during the vows and first kiss so that the couple (us) were front and center without distractions.

Highly recommend!

Carl Lackey was the BEST!

Carl did a phenomenal job! He made us laugh and made us cry. He knew what questions to ask to get to know you as a couple and what makes you click. I planned my elopement from Southern California. He helped us with our vows and was always available for questions. We are very happy with our choice. I couldn't imagine hiring someone else.

Rev. Carl Lackey - MVP

Carl was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, he guided us through the process and made sure every detail was covered so our ceremony went off without a hitch. He took the time to get to know us and crafted a ceremony that felt so personal, heartfelt, and perfectly “us.” His words were thoughtful and meaningful, and we received so many compliments about how beautiful it was. One of our favorite parts was how he incorporated our kids into the ceremony — it made the moment so special and unforgettable. We’re so grateful for everything Carl did to make our day seamless and memorable. We would absolutely recommend Carl Lackey to anyone getting married in the Tahoe area!

Rev. Beronio is the epitome of professionalism, class and sincerity. I write this as a colleague, but also as a bride, since after witnessing David conduct many ceremonies, he left such an impression that I had to hire him myself. There have been so many times where I've heard him speaking and stopped in my step to listen. His voice is soothing and calming, as are the words he speaks. He reminds the audience what love truly is. He has an incredible ability to make light of any unforeseen instances during a ceremony. At one lakeside wedding a few years back, a powerboat kept racing by. I wish I could remember what he said to tie it into the ceremony, but he had the whole group laughing hysterically. It was at that moment I knew I would be recommending him to every bride I met with and I'm delighted when I hear that he will be at weddings I am photographing. David is genuine and caring. For the many out of towners that come to Lake Tahoe to wed, he feels like a long time friend after your first meeting.
