Great officiant for BOTH of our ceremonies!

My wife and I had two ceremonies, one a very small ceremony to get the legal stuff taken care of and a second one where we invited the usual folks. David was able to take care of the first one on very short notice, which was awesome. It was a meaningful and sweet service in his garden that couldn't have been better. The second ceremony went off smoothly and was just as well done. My mother had to attend remotely and he remembered to greet her, in particular, which was much appreciated.

I also appreciated how clear David was on how things would work on the business side and his recommendations for vendors. He recommended the photographer we went with, for example, and she was AMAZING!

If you're doing your ceremony in the Charlotte area, you can't go wrong with David. Give him a call!

Towards A Tranquil Adventure

They say matches are made in heaven & if we are lucky, we find the one made for you! My husband & I found each other in the most extraordinary circumstance; from being best friends to man & wife, we faced numerous obstacles. But, on April 7th, 2022, when we were standing in front of David Mark Seidel, getting married, tears rolling down our cheeks, we knew it was worth it! David cannot be described as anything less than an angel sent from above to unite two bodies into one soul! Not only us, but when I see all these smiling faces on this platform, I know I was lucky to have had David officiate our wedding. He not only made my husband & me realize that we were the missing pieces in each other's lives but how much we value, love, and are proud of each other.
Thank you, David, for being the brilliant human being you are; knowledgeable & from now on, Kenneth & My guide in our journey towards enhancing ourselves & our relationship.

Highly Recommend

The great thing about working with David is his ability to make the entire experience personable and easy. We were able to meet/chat with him multiple times before the wedding and felt as though we knew him as a friend rather than just an officiant for our wedding. He sent over an example script of the ceremony and I appreciated his feedback and check ins. He was very helpful throughout this entire process and I would recommend him to anyone! The ceremony was beautiful and he even sang us a song in French at the end! So glad we found him.

Everything we could’ve asked for!

David was very accommodating to our last minute needs of a wedding. He preformed the ceremony passionately and really cares about people he is marrying. We got married at his ‘office’ on his porch, with beautiful greenery in the background. He also spiced up the first minutes of our marriage with chocolate! Super sweet!
It was wonderful!
