  Amazing & Flexible

  David was absolutely phenomenal. He was flexible with how my husband and I wanted our ceremony to be. We wanted our ceremony to be personal and even though David was not familiar with what we wanted he did his research and accompanied whatever we wanted! His personality was easy to get along with and enjoyable to work with. Definitely recommend!

  David Shaffer - 10/10

  David was an amazing officiant, making our low-key ceremony lighthearted and fun. I’d recommend his services to anyone here in West Virginia!

  David was amazing!

  David was incredibly accommodating, had a great sense of humor, and really encouraged us to do our wedding however we liked. He also was patient and informative when we had no idea what we were doing in planning the ceremony. He was willing to travel to Huntington from Buckhannon-- no small drive-- and we loved (and our families loved) the ceremony he put together for us. As a queer couple we were a little nervous about finding someone who we clicked with and wasn't weird about it-- and we could not have hoped for a better officiant. Thank you, David!

  Stop it! You're making me blush! Seriously though, you two are exactly the kind of couple that I really enjoy officiating for. There is real love there. It is couples like the two of you that make my "job" so fulfilling. Thank you for the opportunity to be a small part of this joyous occasion.

  Professional and understanding!

  We are so happy to have found David. We had a unique situation with a specific area to wed at. David was very accommodating, warm, fun, and friendly! Exactly what we wanted for our momentous day. We will certainly be recommending David to anyone!

  Incredibly compassionate and understanding, very accommodating

  Appalachian Life Rituals went above and beyond to help make our wedding day as memorable and joyous as possible. David is a kind and considerate soul, who worked with us closely to understand who we are, our journey through life, and our long-term goals; he then used all of this information to write up a truly breath-taking ceremony. While obviously we will never need to marry again in the future, if we were to we would choose David again without a second thought.

  He was very accepting and helpful whilst we were planning our big day. He led a wonderful ceremony and kept us updated as we made changes. He was wonderful to work with. Would definitely recommend.
