About this vendor

Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality. I've performed over 100 weddings over the past two years, and each one has been an amazing experience. I look forward to helping you make your wedding exactly what you want it to be.

I believe that there should be nothing standing in the way of two loving people who want to spend the rest of their lives together. Your ceremony will be afforded the dignity, respect, and open-mindedness it deserves, regardless of your age, race, or sexual orientation.

In my other life, I'm a secondary teacher with both undergraduate and graduate degrees in English. I understand what a difference just the right words make, and I am available to help you to craft vows that convey your love and devotion to one another.

Fantastic Officiant!

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our 9/13/25 wedding ceremony. David took the time to learn our story from our initial encounter and guided us through the planning process with clarity and kindness. He made sure we knew exactly what to incorporate into our ceremony by offering helpful suggestions and making sure we were supported at every step. Our ceremony was beautiful and David delivered such a heartfelt and meaningful service. We are truly grateful for his professionalism and care.

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Altar: Why Love, Honor, Cherish Is the Universe’s Most Improbably Perfect Wedding Maestro

In the swirling cosmic dance of wedding days, where love and logistics collide like starships in a meteor shower, one man stands as a beacon of brilliance, David, the Greatest Wedding Officiator on Earth. To label him merely an officiator is to call a supernova just a spark, it’s an understatement of galactic proportions.
From our first meeting, David proved himself a rare genius, wielding creativity like a master artist painting our ceremony with strokes of originality. His humor, sharp enough to slice through the thickest wedding day nerves, had our guests laughing like they’d been let in on the universe’s best kept joke. Yet beneath this wit beats a heart so warm and caring it could melt the iciest of cold feet.
David’s attentiveness is nothing short of extraordinary. He didn’t just hear our vision for the day, he absorbed it, shaped it, and delivered a ceremony that felt like it was woven from the very threads of our story.
Punctual? The man arrived with such precision we half suspect he’s cracked the secret of time itself. And as for guiding us through the process, David was our steadfast navigator, leading us through every step with the calm assurance of a seasoned explorer, ensuring we never stumbled into the quicksand of wedding chaos.
Let’s be clear, if David isn’t officiating your wedding, you’re not just missing out, you’re practically signing up for a ceremony as dull as a moonless night. This man is a marvel, a maestro, a matrimonial wizard who transforms “I do” into a moment so perfect it could make the stars themselves swoon. So, take our advice, book David, and hold on tight. Your wedding will be nothing short of celestial.

Leading our Ceremony

Mr Lang was amazing throughout our whole process. 

To begin with, Mr Lang met with us and went over a whole bunch of different options to go about our ceremony. Once we decided, we put everything together and was able to share it with us and allowed us to make any changes or additional we felt we would like. 

During the ceremony, Mr Lang lead the whole ceremony and made his presence known. He commanded a presence. He was amazing. He was the voice of the ceremony. 

Leading up to our wedding, we had some unforeseen things come up, and Mr Lang got us through it with no issues. He was able to help days leading up, and seconds leading to our ceremony starting. 

Mr Lang was simply amazing and I would recommend him for any ceremony and know he will make it an experience you’ll never forget. 

Thank you Mr Lang.

Highly recommend!!

David was great to work with and was super helpful with our ceremony. We explained to him what vibe we wanted and he crafted several samples for us to edit and collaborate on together. Our ceremony was heartfelt and within the timing that we wanted to achieve before guests get antsy. He was helpful with what we needed to do with the town for marriage license, quick to respond to emails and flexible with making changes and meetings. Could not ask for a better officiant highly recommend!

HIGHLY recommend!!

David was perfect. At the beginning of planning our wedding, we had no clue on where to start, or who would marry us. We came across David as he came highly recommended by our DJ, and we could not have been happier we did. David helped us through the whole process, gave us plenty of options for readings and add-ons to our ceremony. He guided us through the entire process from start to finish. On the actual day of our wedding, he made us feel comfortable and at ease. We received many compliments from our guest regarding his professionalism and the way he carried out the ceremony. We would recommend David to any couple without hesitation.

Dave Made Our Wedding Ceremony Truly Unforgettable

Dave was the perfect officiant for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From our very first conversation, it was clear that he truly cares about making each ceremony unique and meaningful. Dave took the time to get to know us as a couple, listening to our story, our values, and our vision for the big day. He seamlessly incorporated those personal touches into the ceremony, creating something that felt deeply reflective of who we are.

Dave’s warm and calming presence made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, his professionalism and heartfelt delivery set the perfect tone—not just for us but for all of our guests. So many people came up to us afterward to tell us how beautiful and memorable the ceremony was.

If you’re looking for an officiant who is flexible, non-denominational, and truly dedicated to crafting a ceremony that fits your personality and style, we can’t recommend Dave highly enough. He’s a true gem, and we’re so grateful to have had him as part of our special day.

Professional officiation by David Lang

We hired Mr. Lang to be our officiant for our wedding at St. Clements Castle on Aug 9, 2024. That was the best decision. Mr. Lang was very thorough and professional. He made our wedding very special. His presentation was very on point, I must say. I like some humor myself and Mr. Lang certainly knew how to match my humor. If we could do our wedding again, I would hire Mr. Lang again no questions asked. When we renew our vows, it would be an honor to have Mr. Lang renew our vows. I can't speak highly enough how well of a presentation Mr. Lang did for us. He was very responsive and happy to help us with our questions. We had some custom skits incorporated into our ceremony and Mr. Lang was willing to customize the experience for us.
Thank you to Mr. Lang for a wonderful wedding day experience.

Andeew and Emily's Wedding

Our day with Dave could not be more perfect. During our wedding search we were looking for a justice of the peace that could be comfortable and fit well, but also that was going to distract us from our nerves. It was everything we imagined and more. The wedding was beautiful, I felt relaxed, and I just can't say enough about how amazing it was. Happiest day of our lives.

The narrator to your happy ever after

Wow. Where do we even start with David? Is it his professionalism that sold us? Was it his pure character? Was it his dedication to making sure we were completely satisfied with the script every step of the way? Who knows. What we DO know is that we got married 2 days ago and the words David spoke during our wedding still make us and our families tear up thinking about it.

David is the kind of person you WISH conducted your ceremony so thank yourself for finding him. We had a very complex dynamic needed for our wedding and David ALREADY had an outlines prepared for our first meeting that with a slight bit of tweaking ended up being nothing short of perfection.

He handles the drop off of your certificate as well and updates you if anything happens along the way. He is a wonderful human being and his talent for expressing your love is unmatched. Book with him now if you want that fairytale wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
