WOW! What an experience! David was the best! He went above and beyond his officiating duties. Our day was special and he ensured that the entire process went smoothly. I would definitely recommend his services.

Talk about a dream. David was truly the most incredible officiant I have ever met. He went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our planning and rehearsal seamless and easy. He was always available for questions, prompt and timely each and every time we met, and I truly felt like David did everything he could to get to know us as people in the time before we were married. His intimate approach, made for such a special ceremony, and I cannot describe in words how truly magical he was. Our guests and wedding party raved about how he was so down to earth, but brought such an incredible sense of love into our ceremony. It is without a doubt that he was one of the most important parts of our special day, and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!!

David was AMAZING! He made the ceremony so special and personal for us. He also helped us with the wedding license and the protocol. If you want to have an amazing ceremony this is your guy. THANKS DAVID!

David helped us make sure that our destination wedding in Puerto Rico was made official :) This is a first marriage for myself and my husband, so we didn't have a clue what to do in the marriage licence application process, much less how to do it in puerto rico! David was very prompt in emails and answering our questions, as well as making sure that we had all of the right documents prepared for our visit to the Demographics Office. We felt like we were in great hands with David submitting our paperwork for us, and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is choosing to get married in PR via destination wedding.

What's not to like about David? He is funny, caring, and experienced. I think everyone liked his presentation at our ceremony. He made himself available for us prior to the wedding. And he guided us through the process to become legally married in Puerto Rico. If you are planning a destination wedding, David navigates through the procedures and paperwork very well.

David is the BEST!!! Funny, charming, caring, all we need it to make our ceremony dreams come true. Also, he is a minister, and made us feel the importance of marriage, in not a religious way. There is a lot of officiants out there that got ordained online, but David is the real deal!! No wonder TLC requested him to do the "Say Yes To The Dress" show recording in Puerto Rico. Love you David!!!!

We contracted David during our visit in March 2016 for our destination wedding in September 2016. During our initial meeting, David sat down with us and got to know us and what we wanted. He provided us with different ceremony options we could include for our special day. He was available throughout the planning process and meet with us again prior to our rehearsal to confirm the program. He was very professional and personable. We felt like we had known him for years. He was very prompt in delivering our signed marriage license to the demographics office for processing. We received our marriage certificate within two weeks.

BOOK HIM, everything was so easy. I pick about officiant at first and he told me to basically google everything. David basically made is VERY easy, even picked up us and took us to the demographic office for the paperwork. We could find a lawyer to do the affidavit in our state so he took us to one there in PR for $40. Then took us to a beautiful beach and perform our wedding. He even gave us a booklet and took us back to the airport so we can go to our honeymoon. TRUST ME. BOOK HIM. You will not be disappointed. Nothing is worst then being in another country and lost he was everything! Most importantly HE IS A MAN OF GOD! Thank You David from the bottom of our hearts!

Working with Minister David was truly such an easy, welcoming and positive experience. When I first contacted him he was so nice through the phone and text that I immediately gravitated towards him and chose him as my minister for the wedding. Once we met in person he was extremely kind, funny, new both English and Spanish, new all the steps that had to be taken to get married in Puerto Rico. He truly guided us through every step of the way and it was so easy. Once the wedding came he followed everything we discussed and made the ceremony not only memorable for us but for our guest and family as well. I am so humbled by his services but also to have gained a friend. You will definitly not go wrong with choosing minister David. Thank you so much for everything!

When I proposed to my girlfriend last Christmas, my only requirement for our wedding, was for me to be barefoot, and on a beach. We discussed multiple locations, and decided we wanted to go back to Puerto Rico. We both have ties there, family, and love the island. When we started searching for a Minister, and discovered www.weddingwire.com. This is where we found David Mariani.

David quickly became not only our choice to marry us, but a friend as well. His knowledge as to what we needed to do, have done, and have with us when we arrived in Puerto Rico, showed many years of experience, knowledge, willingness to help, and a great desire to see everything we were looking for, be not only a success, but everything we dreamt of.

David was amazing from the first phone call. He guided us with all the requirements, paperwork we would need, letters, and obtaining our licence once we arrived. He helped us find our location for the wedding ceremony, gave us a phenomenal ideas as to where we, and all our guests went for dinner after the ceremony, and answered all of our questions, no matter how important, or silly they seemed.

It really was a dream come true...

David truly cares about the client, and their success into the future. He is an amazing man, friend, man of God, and professional, that I would recommend to everyone that is seeking a wonderful experience in marriage. His smile melts away any worries, and gives you the security knowing that you are in the best hands possible. The Conch was the best bonus!!

Thank you for giving us our dream!
