I can’t even put into words how grateful we are to have found David to officiate our wedding ceremony in October 2023. He met with us multiple times prior to our rehearsal and wedding day, getting to know us and providing us with great advice and lessons for our marriage. Thanks to his recommendations in the months leading up to our wedding, we now set time aside for a date night, just the two of us, at least once a week - and plan to do so for years to come! He is a wealth of knowledge and a resource we are so thankful to have in our corner moving forward in our marriage. He executed our ceremony so perfectly that many guests not only complimented it, but assumed we have known David for many years. Our ceremony was better than we could have dreamed of and truly felt like “us.” During the stress of planning our wedding and finalizing details, he made us feel so comfortable, and tailored the entire ceremony to what was best for us and our day. If you are searching for a wedding officiant, I can assure you that you won’t go wrong with David and his team. David - we can’t thank you enough for your role in making our day absolutely perfect.

Rev. David Anderson made us feel very at ease with the whole marriage process. Not only did he create a beautiful ceremony, but he also takes the time to get to know his couples by talking with them a few times throughout the engagement season. As we got to know him, David really felt more like someone we could talk to as a friend or counselor and not strictly a minister trying to preach at us every second. He gave us great advice and insight on what will help a successful marriage. Thank you Pastor David!

Let me start by saying I am Catholic, while my now husband is agnostic. I knew getting married in a church was off the table, but it was still very important to me to still have some sort of religious affiliation in our ceremony/marriage. I was really struggling with how to have a religious ceremony, without going “overboard” and making my husband and his family uncomfortable (for lack of a better word). We found David through a quick search on the Knot. It was clear from the first 3 minutes of the call that he was the person we wanted to officiate our wedding. Both of us were immediately comfortable with his demeanor and the way he made us feel at ease about how the ceremony would go. He made it easy to find middle ground to have the ceremony we both wanted. We did go with the premarital counseling as well, and I would definitely recommend that to anybody and everybody, just to really take the time to learn about each other if nothing else. David talked through a lot of things we knew about each other but had never really learned to handle and I can honestly say that has eased a lot of tensions between us. Reminding us to take breaks from wedding talk and continue to prioritize our relationship was one of his key points, and that definitely helped alleviate a ton of stress and made us check in with how we were both feeling along the way. David was personable, easy to talk to, and consistently adjusted his schedule so that we could have our appointments during times that worked with ours (we live in OR, so we’re 3 hours behind his time zone and are only both available in the evenings). The entire process of working with David was easy, enlightening, and the ceremony went so smoothly thanks to his communication and timeline. I highly recommend David and WeddingChaplain.com to anybody looking for a professional and friendly officiant!
