    Perfect from start to finish

    Dave Goldstein added so much more to our wedding ceremony than just the officiating. From the beginning, Dave took great care in learning our story, our personalities, and what we wanted our ceremony to represent. He offered ideas and provided very helpful planning tools for all aspects of the ceremony and the vows. His humor and wit created levity, added engagement, and celebration to our happy day. We highly recommend working with Dave!!

    Dave Goldstein is the best!

    Dave Goldstein is a fantastic person and officiant. He is extremely professional and very funny but sincere at the same time. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple which made the ceremony very personalized. I have been to many cookie cutter wedding ceremonies over the years and this was definitely not that. His humor, sincerity, and stage presence was exactly the recipe for a fantastic ceremony.

    Wonderful!!

    Dave was wonderful! From the second that we connected via messaging and phone until after our wedding, Dave was friendly, easy going and kind. He accommodated our changing ever preferences for the ceremony and made our entire ceremony feel unique and special to us. We felt Dave’s warmth throughout our ceremony and so did our guests. You can tell that he genuinely wants to know you as a couple, and we hoping to meet up with him again if he ever comes through the Boston area :) Both my now husband and I couldn’t recommend him more!

    Adds the extra magic touch to your wedding near you


    Our wedding was looming and we didn't quite have that someone that we both knew that could be our officiant. Luckily our friend had just witnessed Dave at another wedding and recommended him to us. Dave struck the perfect balance between humor and heart, managing to keep the ceremony light and entertaining all the while keeping the focus on us.

    Dave's comedic talents were evident from the moment he began speaking, as he had the entire audience laughing within seconds. His jokes were clever, tasteful, and perfectly timed, and he had a great sense of how to read the room and tailor his humor to the audience.

    But what really stood out about Dave was his ability to connect with the couple and make their love story come alive. He took the time to get to know them and their relationship, and wove personal anecdotes and touching moments into the ceremony. After our wedding, he was often brought up as one of the highlights right behind us getting married.

    Overall, Dave was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, responsive, and easygoing throughout the planning process, and on the day of the wedding, he showed up early, dressed to impress, and ready to deliver an unforgettable ceremony. If you're looking for a wedding officiant who can make you laugh and add that extra special touch to your wedding I highly recommend Dave.

    Look no further, you have found your officiant!

    Hiring Dave as our officiant was one of the best choices we made when planning our wedding. From the moment we had our first call with him, he was so kind and professional (and funny) and we knew we had found the perfect person to marry us. Dave met with us to get to know us and then periodically checked in to see if he could help us in any way we needed. When we got close to the actual wedding date and everything was so hectic, receiving those emails made me feel so confident that we were in good hands. Our ceremony was exactly what we had hoped for and that was all because of Dave. If you are thinking of hiring him, I would definitely recommend!

    Won't go wrong with Dave!

    Dave is the best!! He is super warm and passionate about his career. He cares to get to know the couples he is working with. He made sure our ceremony was exactly what we wanted. He was willing to make changes for us multiple times until we felt it was perfect. The ceremony was great, all thanks to Dave! you will be in the best of hands!

    THE best decision

    Using Dave as our officiant was hands down one of the best decisions we made. After my sister used him for her wedding, my husband and I knew we wanted him to officiate ours as well. He took the time to get to know us and our story and created the most perfect ceremony filled with tasteful humor that had all of our guests laughing. We continue to get compliments about how unique, special, and funny the ceremony was. We cannot recommend Dave enough - he is truly the best.

    Wedding day perfection

    When we hired Dave to officiate our wedding we did not realize what we were getting. Thank you so much for making our day perfect!!. From the initial phone call to see if we were a good fit I knew he was the right choice. He is professional, funny, kind, and truly cares about his couples. He met up with my husband and I for dinner and truly got to know us. We laughed and shared stories. He is so easy to talk to and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever! He was there every step of the way and checked in to see if there was anything we needed leading up to the wedding. He was more than a vendor he became our friend!
    Guests at the wedding say it was executed perfectly. He made people cry and he made them laugh and that was 100% what we wanted. We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. We recommend everyone to hire Dave! : )

    Thoughtful and Funny

    We were recommended Dave by our wedding planner, and I am so glad we were led in his direction. He did a great job with officiating our wedding. We couldn’t have been happier. He met with us a couple of times just to get a feel for us as a couple and worked hard to personalize our special day. His final draft was traditional enough for the older crowd but Modern and lighthearted enough for the younger crowd.
    We definitely recommend Dave for your special day.

    You Will Not Be Disappointed!

    Dave was the best! After our first meeting with him, my husband and I instantly knew we had made the right choice! Dave was incredibly easy to work with and absolutely understood our vision. He was always quick to respond to my many emails, and provided so much helpful information along the way. The day of the wedding he was prompt and fully prepared. He created an incredible ceremony for us and our guests could not stop talking about the amazing job he did! Do yourself a favor and use Dave as your officiant! You will not be disappointed!

    The Perfect Choice for Officiating our Ceremony

    We can't say enough good things about how our experience with Dave was. From the moment we reached out he was always super friendly, personable and most of all, genuinely excited for us. He went above and beyond in being flexible as we navigated Covid uncertainty and was super helpful in providing the right amount of structure for an interfaith ceremony (catholic and jewish).

    Dave was a huge hit with all our guests and we continue to get comments about how well he balanced the seriousness of the wedding ceremony while also adding in his own brand of humor.

    Dave MADE Our Wedding!!

    Stop the search! You have found the perfect officiant!!

    My husband and I wanted a non-religious officiant for our wedding since I am catholic and my husband is Jewish. We are so grateful to have found Dave! He is the nicest person and took the time to get to know us ahead of the wedding day. His sense of humor made the wedding planning process more fun and less stressful, and the ceremony he wrote was beautiful! Everyone who attended our wedding loved him. It was the perfect combination of romantic, lighthearted, sentimental and funny! If you’re looking for an officiant who will kick of the wedding with the best vibes possible - Dave is your man. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! And even post wedding, I would consider Dave to be a friend 😊

    Your search is over Goldstein weddings is all you need.

    It was certainly a leap of faith to trust a name that I had found in the world of web surfing ~ to officiate my wedding ~ but that is exactly what I did. Dave made our wedding absolutely perfect. We are still receiving SO SO many comments on how personal our ceremony was to our personalities. Dave was warm, funny, professional, prompt, and dependable. He was fully prepared to guide us thought the ceremony, vows, paperwork and gave me lots of personal attention. We feel so fortunate to have found Dave to officiate our wedding and we HIGHLY recommend him to officiate at your wedding. Tracy and Barry

    Could not have found a better fit

    We really wanted a non-religious wedding ceremony that incorporated Jewish tradition and we could not have found a better person. We couldn't believe our luck when Dave said he had done multiple similar weddings and could also read Hebrew. He really helped us to pick and choose what we wanted to include and allowed us to personalize things while also providing ideas. He was super on time, always willing to make changes and offer advice, and we received multiple compliments on our officiant after the ceremony.

    Couldn't recommend Dave more!

    Dave helped make our wedding so special! I couldn't recommend him more!! Not only was he professional, easy to work with and a great public speaker - he understood exactly what we wanted out of our ceremony and made it happen. Dave provided a great starting place for our ceremony and we worked through a couple of rounds of revisions to make it personal, meaningful, sweet and funny. He made sure we were stars of the show and fully delivered on our vision.

    Best officiant ever!

    We absolutely loved Dave from our first phone call with him. He made us feel super comfortable and open to sharing our stories with him. He is one of the largest parts of your day and he takes that seriously. He listens to everything and has a great way of showing that on your wedding day.

    He custom writes a monologue based off the things you tell him about yourselves as well as anything you ask for him to include. Even if you’re unsure of what you want to be said, he can help with that too! He makes it the perfect mix of funny and touching.

    He truly made our wedding and it feels like he’s apart of our family now!

    We can not recommend him enough!!!!!!

    We can’t thank Dave enough for making our ceremony one of our favorite parts of the day! He was so easy to work with, made sure I as the bride was happy with the script for the ceremony in every step of the planning right up to the big day. He took all of my many requests and changes and made it so lighthearted, fun and special which was exactly what we wanted. Thank you Dave for everything!!! We would definitely recommend him to anyone!

    Dave is the officiant you are looking for

    We were at a bit of a loss when trying to figure out what to do about an officiant for our wedding, especially considering our venue was a llama farm. But after speaking with Dave over the phone, he immediately put us at ease. He has the perfect amount of humor, sincerity, and expertise. He went out of his way to take the time to meet up with us before the wedding in order to get to know us better. He walked us through options for the ceremony and what to expect, which was incredibly helpful for us, because we had absolutely no idea what we wanted. We would highly recommend Dave for those looking for an officiant who is flexible, reliable, funny, and easy to work with.

    The Best Wedding Officiant!

    Coolest officiant there is! Dave was very quick to respond and after chatting on the phone we picked a day to meet in person. He was nice enough to meet us in our town. He asked a couple of questions to get to know us better and to prepare for our ceremony.

    It was already evident that Dave truly cares about his clients but when covid hit we were blown away. Our October wedding had to be rescheduled (to March) but we still wanted to do a little ceremony with a small group of friends. As soon as we asked Dave if he would marry us in October and then again in March, he was more than willing to do so! Dave once again drove out of his way to meet us and made our day super special with a personalized ceremony. Now we're even more excited for our second ceremony in March!

    Dave is cool, calm, and collected. You won't regret choosing him to help celebrate your day.

    The Best Officiant, Hands Down

    Dave was an incredible asset to our wedding this past weekend. He really cared about creating the perfect ceremony for us, for example timed it perfectly, added/took out what we wanted, and most importantly, made us laugh. He is well-spoken, kind, responsive, and overall a fantastic person who made the perfect officiant. Our guests couldn't get over how wonderful the ceremony was! Hiring him was of the best decisions we made, especially because we will likely be friends for a long time.

    Professional and humorous!!

    From the moment my husband and I met Dave we knew he would be an excellent officiant. He took the time to get to know us to ensure our vows were personal and special to us. Dave’s humor and kindness, yet professionalism was exactly what was needed during these uncertain times. Due to the pandemic we had to reschedule our wedding, however last minute we decided to elope - Dave jumped in and took the time out of his Monday morning to officiate our small ceremony without hesitation! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate.
