David is the best!

From David's initial response via email when we were looking for an officiant, almost a year ago, we knew we were in good hands. He was super responsive, professional and very helpful. He occasionally checked in as the months passed to remind us to get our wedding license and to confirm the date, time and address of the wedding. On the wedding day, he was prompt, prepared and dressed nicely in a suit. During the ceremony his delivery was smooth and polished, well-prepared and just what we were looking for; not too long, not too short, non-denominational and uplifting and emotional. Such a great guy. Rest assured, you can't go wrong choosing David.

The Only Choice!

David was astounding! He put together amazing material and personalized it, he took care of sending the marriage license for us so we had one less worry, he was great with guidance and being patient with us knowing how nervous we were and trying to adapt to an ever changing mood of a toddler mid ceremony. There was not a dry eye in the house and I can’t thank him enough. The communication from day one to day after was incredibly important and he was there for every step and answered every question. Thank you again David!
