Perfect in every way

Reverend Dave is the best reverend we know, and we are IN the wedding business. When we got engaged early this year, we knew who we wanted to have for our ceremony right away, and called him to make sure he was available for our date, which he was (we would have changed our date if not!). Rev Dave is not only a real reverend, ordained by the church, but he is also funny and personable, which really helps make the ceremony a FUN event! He's also has years of experience, so you cannot go wrong. Don't skimp on your ceremony - get the best reverend there is!!

Thank you Dave!

10 Star review

Rev Dave was amazing. Inspirational. Funny And engaging. His ability to capture our love story and incorporate it into our wedding ceremony was such a joy. So many guests commented on how much they enjoyed him, some saying this was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended. His ability to work the room with over 100 guests added to the pleasure of the day.

The Best to Work With!!

Reverend Dave was a pleasure to work with and far exceeded our expectations. We wanted a non-religious focused wedding ceremony while still remaining very traditional and formal, and he gave us that and more. The "marriage counseling" sessions before our wedding felt less like counseling and more like two-hour hangout sessions with a friend. He took the time to really get to know us along the way and create a special ceremony created just for us. While we were talking about the ceremony timeline, I tried to keep it formal and was turned off by the idea of jokes in his script, but when the time came for us to stand up in front of all of our loved ones... let me tell you, his jokes were perfect and just what we needed to take all the ceremony anxiety away. At the end of this experience, it truly felt like Reverend Dave was a family member.
