An intimate and heartfelt wedding ceremony

I had a good feeling about David once I read the reviews, but it was confirmed the moment he walked in the door to discuss our wedding. ceremony. He has a calm and serene presence,thatmakes you want to spend time with him.

His questions about our relationship were thoughtful endnote intrusive. He wove the into a unique and moving wedding ceremony that was perfect for us. It was our second wedding and as such carried different weight and expectations as we took our vows, as mature adults.

We included a Rumi poem and another reading which my husband and I chose as a way to express our emotions and hopes. I highly recommend David. He revised the ceremony ad sent us the different versions for our approval. I had spoken with another minister who seemed so bored and disinterested, that I did't consider him, even momentarily.

David is so professional but offers an intimacy and support that really made us feel that he was as invested as we incur ceremony. I treasure the memory and am so happy that David worked with us.

We met with a number of different officiants, but after meeting with David in our very first meeting we immediately knew that he was the one for us. He listened very carefully to us about our relationship, our families, and the type of ceremony that we wanted to have. He followed through 1000% on what he promised, hitting all deadlines and providing us with great guidance in developing what proved to be an incredible wedding ceremony. He made great suggestions about how it should flow and made excellent suggestions in how we could incorporate multiple aspects of two different religions. He was very open to feedback and it was clear he wanted to make sure we were getting everything we wanted. He also helped us understand the details surrounding the marriage license, and took care of everything on the day of the wedding. He has a very calm demeanor and also brought a lot of joy, humor and professionalism on the day of our wedding which was a wonderful presence to have. He is a very thoughtful person! We couldn't have been happier, and we weren't the only ones!! Multiple people told us after the wedding that the the officiant was outstanding and the ceremony was very touching and moving. We recommend him with highest regards!

David is entirely focused toward the matter at hand. He creates a relationship which is personal and tailored. He is engaged at appropriate times and delivered a ceremony which was beyond memorable for us, our family, and friends. We are so glad David Didio officiated the most special day of our lives. He is without peer.

David Didio did a great job officiating our wedding. It was held at Emerson Spa & Resort in Mt. Tremper New York. His vast experience and acceptance of our own personal beliefs enabled him to provide a custom tailored officiation that exceeded our greatest expectations. David added valuable input into the writing of our own personal vows, and ensured they had a similar tone. The day of the wedding he was perfect. Extremely well organized and composed. He made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire service. We cant recommend David highly enough. I hope u are as lucky as we were to have him officiate your wedding.

We invested so many hours into finding the ideal officiant for our vision and our needs on our wedding day. So happy to say that all our hard work most definitely paid off in David exponentially!!! From our very first phone consult, to our in-person meeting, our Skype session, and various texts, phone calls, and emails throughout David was simply a joy and positive spirit to work with. He really knows what he is doing and you can tell its a passion for him to bring his talents and spirit to your wedding ceremony. We are a very hands-on couple and had a lot of ideas and "wants" for our big day. David "got us" right away, fed off our commitment to each other and to this once in a lifetime process, and had a myriad of suggestions when asked! We received rave reviews from all of our friends and family, who were not only impressed, but truly touched by David's amazing spirit. Wouldn't change a thing! Our ceremony was beyond our wildest dreams and custom written for us . We heard "best ceremony ever!" and "loved your officiant!" throughout. There was not a dry eye in the house. I could really go on and on (and on) about every aspect of working with and getting to know David, but it wouldn't do him justice. Book him, get to know him, let go, and prepare to have the ceremony of your dreams. Thanks for everything David!! - <3 Vanessa & Maurice (June 2016)

David is an absolute lifesaver! We are so happy that he was our officiant :) When our original plans fell through just 2 months prior to our wedding date, David was (very luckily) available on our date. From the first phone call onward, he was very professional and friendly and put us both at ease immediately with his calm demeanor! He really makes an effort to get to know you as a couple, in order to make the ceremony really personal and not cookie-cutter. David is also really flexible with timing and is very responsive, which we both really appreciated as a working couple planning our own wedding, and made sure that the ceremony wording was exactly the way we wanted through multiple revisions.

The actual ceremony, which we had at the Harold Pratt House, was absolutely beautiful and several of our friends told us how moving it was - there were many happy tears shed :) Our parents also thought it was lovely! David was able to make it meaningful and also keep it to a good length, which was much appreciated by everyone!

Thank you so much for making our day that much more special!!

David was the best officiant we could ever ask for. With a perfect combination of his knowledge and his sensibility to our needs he helped us create a personal and warm ceremony we will never forget.

David is calm and warm, and even though he speaks with a small voice he managed to mesmerize our guest and gave us a wonderful ceremony.

On top of being a great officiant David - literarily - invited us to his home. We're forever thankful for choosing David as our officiant.

David brings such a calm and professional energy to your first meeting. We had met with a few other officiants who were pushy and rude. David invites you into his home and asks several questions to understand you as a couple and truly listens to your responses. He encourages complete honesty which was refreshing for us as we didn't want a traditional ceremony but also wanted to incorporate some religious notes which David seamlessly accomplished. He goes back and forth with you several times over email until the ceremony sounds EXACTLY how you want it. On our wedding day, not only did David execute our ceremony with eloquent words but he took the time to celebrate our happiness with us. Before and after the ceremony he was just taking in the room and smiling at how excited we were b/c he was truly happy for us. He doesn't just show up to do his job, his passion for his work is truly notable and engaging with guests. It's been 2 months since our wedding, and so many of our guests have come up to us and called us to say how much they loved how well David spoke, how kind his words were, and how he truly reflected us as a couple in our ceremony. So many personal touches. I've had several guests say that they've been to a ton of weddings and this was by far the best officiant they've seen. YOU MUST book David - you will be forever grateful!!

David was a complete professional. During the pre wedding meeting, he asked detailed questions and was able to easily ascertain what exactly we were looking for in the ceremony. Our guests were extremely pleased with the ceremony.
