About

On WeddingWire since 2021

Reverend Dave Hilburn - Wedding Officiant is an ordained minister and wedding officiant in the greater Atlanta area. He works with couples of all kinds to turn a few simple words and the signing of papers into a true miracle. Reverend Dave is one of the most trusted wedding officiants, guaranteed to make your special day a day to remember.

Experience
Before becoming a minister, Reverend Hilburn was an Infantry officer in the United States Army, trained and commissioned at West Point. His life took many turns since September 11th, 2001, and while in search for himself he found that service to the precious souls around him was worth more than staying in the military or being a businessman 24/7. That search took him into Human Resources, being a stand-up comic, a classically trained Improv performer, and a chef. Now he practices as both a minister and practitioner of Unity Principles and faith.

Services Offered
Reverend Hilburn - Wedding Officiant has studied and is familiar with traditions and spiritual practices of many faiths. He welcomes all religions, interfaith and secular traditions in wedding ceremonies, and is happy to learn about your individual faiths and desires for the big day. Reverend Hilburn believes an organic “get to know you” process is the best for couples to decide how they want the ceremony performed, and will take in any special requests you may have.

Rev. Dave is THE BEST!

Reverend Dave made our wedding day truly unforgettable! From the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. His warm and caring demeanor instantly put us at ease, and he took the time to get to know us on a personal level. What truly sets Reverend Dave apart is his genuine commitment to making our ceremony meaningful and special. He seamlessly incorporated personal touches, including my son, which made the moment even more magical. Reverend Dave's passion for the sanctity of marriage shines through in every word he speaks. We cannot thank him enough for the beautiful ceremony he crafted for us. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about making your big day unforgettable, look no further than Reverend Dave! I cannot imagine our special day happening without him. ❤️ Thank you Reverend Dave for everything!

A+ Service - Took a level of stress out of the wedding process. Great sense of humor too!

Rev Dave officiated our wedding in June and saved us quite a bit of time with his A-Z check list, wedding prep meetings, and walkthrough of all the steps needed through obtaining our marriage certificate. We are now happily married and made it through a stressful yet joyous milestone with the help of Rev Dave. Thanks for your service!
