Easy to talk to and very professional

David is very professional and easy to talk to. He is very flexible and easy to contact. His pricing is very affordable. He showed us some of his examples for a wedding ceremony and they are very customizable. You have many selections to choose from and he is open minded to any changes or opinions that you might have. I highly recommend him.

My husband Josh and I got married on July 29, 2017 at the navy base at Mayport, and we asked David to be our officiant. We cannot thank him enough! So many people had great things to say about how professional and charismatic he was! He was also quick to respond to any communications we had. We definitely recommend David to anyone looking for a great officiant!

I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a wedding officiant. He is very organized and professional, but still has a warm and personable demeanor. He is very responsive to emails and was so easy to work with. He has a whole packet of selections to choose from for every part of the ceremony but is also open to anything additional you want to add or change. I mostly chose from options in his packet, but we added our own wine ceremony as well. Everything ran very smoothly and I couldn't have asked for anything more.

I believe picking officiants was one of the hardest parts of wedding planning. Mostly, because you want to feel a connection with the person vs some stranger. Despite being a stranger David made us feel so comfortable. Our first meeting with him was a breeze and so comfortable. David gave us tons of packets to go through to help plan out our ceremony but also stated he had no problem doing anything we wanted. The packet was a guideline and nothing we had to commit too. Although we used everything from that packet while still personalizing the ceremony to us and I could not have been more grateful for that packet. David came to our rehearsal and made that run smooth and made sure everyone knew exactly what to do! I also had a request for David. My husband did not want to write our own vows and since that was something I really wanted so I decided to let my husband have what he wanted and we went with some of the vows David gave us as options. I decided that I was going to add my own personal touch to my husbands vows in which I did not tell him about (it was a good laugh that day because it was totally expected when said). David asked if my husband knew about this and I said no he would not approve. Well David kept my secret right until that moment and let it run so seamlessly while I was giggling away. David was so great to work with, is very easy to get ahold of and quick to help with anything you need. I would definitely recommend him.

David with River City Weddings gave us exactly the ceremony that we envisioned for our wedding day!!!!!! David is extremely personable, organized and really works with you to make sure that your wedding ceremony is exactly as you envisioned it. David customizes the wedding ceremony for each individual couple and gives you lots of examples and options to help you choose and create the ceremony that is best for you. We are a blended family and wanted to do a special family ceremony and David had great ideas on how to do this part of the ceremony. David made our ceremony absolutely perfect! I highly recommend him for your wedding day.

The first day we met with David for my daughter's wedding, we knew he was the right person for the job! He was so accommodating to her and her now husband...met where we where is was easy for us to meet. Was there on time and was so professional in everything he did. Because it was David's 400th ceremony, he had a special gift for my daughter at the wedding reception. I would highly recommend David to anyone!

David was great to work with and helped us to create our dream ceremony! We loved how we were able to personalize our ceremony and vows. He was very accommodating and we would definitely recommend him to any couple looking to have a personalized ceremony but lack the creativity to write their own vows!
