    Wedding officiant was really personable

    He did an awesome job meeting with us beforehand and getting to know us as a couple. He saw the relationship qualities that we had a put them in the ceremony. He was a really nice person, down to earth and happy to help us. I'm si happy that we chose him!

    Brunch Micro Wedding

    We are an older bride & groom/second wedding.
    We wanted an officiant that would "get us".
    Dave was very accommodating in meeting times and wedding time. We wanted an 11am wedding.
    Dave made our ceremony so personal and fun.

    He made it easy

    Working with Dave was like talking to a friend. He made our wedding personal and meaningful. We knew from the first phone call that this was the right choice and couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony.

    Dave Evans made our ceremony so special

    Dave went above and beyond for me and my husband, and gave us a thoughtful, heartfelt, and professionally delivered ceremony. He met us several times before the big day to assure that he really got to know our story, our vision for our vows, and truly listened with genuine care. He gave many suggestions and really put us at ease. 100 % recommending Dave!

    Very personal and unique experience

    Dave was great! He spent almost 2 hours with us about 6 weeks before the wedding getting to know us and our story so he could craft a wonderful story to share with our guests. He did such a fantastic job that MULTIPLE guests thought we knew him prior to our wedding! He was knowledgable on the small details that go into a wedding ceremony and helped us feel at ease, prepared, and most importantly comfortable so we could just enjoy the time with each other. He was flexible on rehearsal space and timing and even helped us navigate the Kentucky marriage license laws. We have such wonderful memories of his words about us, and we are so glad we chose him to officiate our big day!

    All You Could Ask For

    Dave made a great first impression on the web meeting and exceeded any expectations we had. His personalized vows for us were amazing and unique. Dave met up with us twice before the wedding and was responsive to all messages! Flexible, kind, and supportive, we highly recommend Dave for your wedding!

    Christmas Wedding Officiant

    Dave was absolutely wonderful! He had such a great personality from the get so hiring him was an easy decision for us. On our big day, we had a poorly-timed winter storm, but Dave came through. He was there despite the conditions to deliver a beautiful homily that captured us well. Our friends and family commented on how much they enjoyed Dave and I highly recommend him to anyone.

    An absolutely wonderful experience!

    Dave was amazing and helped make our wedding ceremony so wonderful! He took the time to get to know us beforehand and added personal touches to our wedding that brought faith, warmth and humor to the event. Our guests were so impressed! It was clear to us that this is more of a calling than a job for Dave and we are so grateful that he was part of our special day! We highly recommend him!

    Absolutely awesome service!

    We were lucky to have Dave, a great marriage officiant who was flexible with any last-minute adjustments and has been very cooperative with us. The script was so perfect that we watched our wedding video in a loop to hear that again and again.

    Soumalya and Momita--I enjoyed watching you and your friends turn a dreary weather day into a sun-shiny one because of your wedding celebration. Thanks for introducing me to your bright, fun community of friends and the wonderful cuisine at Godavari Indian Restaurant! It made for great chemistry! :-)

    Tears of Joy!

    Dave Evans met with us beforehand, in order to get to know us, and then composed a very sweet and personal wedding ceremony script. We were both brought to tears. His attention to detail and his ability to make us feel special on our wedding day was much appreciated!

    I Hereby Pronounce You's reply:

    Debra, Joe--it was my pleasure to be with you on your very special highlight day of the year. Your love for each other is infectious and radiates warmth and joy that we all want in our relationships. Enjoy your stay at The Gaylord and have fun with the Mickey Mice! Dave

    Perfect fit!

    David was a perfect officiant for my husband and I. We didn't really know of anyone that we wanted to marry us, and when we had a consultation with him, we instantly connected! He is so personable and easy to talk to, even if you're a stranger. He walked us through the whole process, gave us example ceremony timelines, and suggested readings based on what we wanted to highlight about our relationship. As the wedding got closer, we met with David and he really got to know us so he could personalize the ceremony. It was really special getting to know him and having him officiate our wedding. Thank you David!

    Could not be better than this

    We met Dave in person in Panera Bread one week before the weeding so he could get to know us. He included our personal stories that we had shared with him in his words. All the guests in the ceremony enjoyed a lot while he was performing . My husband and I were so emotional at that time. He is so calm, relax, kind, friendly, and professional. Without exaggeration, if I want to say the best thing about our wedding, I would say his work was the best.
    We were so lucky to have him. I will miss him : ).

    Amazing!!!!

    We couldn't have asked for anyone better! Dave was amazing and wrote the most perfect homily for us. No one else could have nailed our life as well as he did. Not even our family. I honestly can't describe how it made me feel. Out of everything that happened that day when I heard what he wrote for us it melted my heart. When we had met, he was attentive and interested in us and listened intently to our story. He then took our story and put it in a way that was exciting to listen to and explained our love to the T. He put effort into his work, and it showed. He was wonderful and a pleasure to work with. I definitely recommend using his services.

    I Hereby Pronounce You's reply:

    Cruz, thank you for your kind review. I enjoy meeting couples like you and Jacob, because you affirm what I've come to realize about marriage--that it is a journey shared by two people who respect each other and appreciate what each brings to the relationship. I love what you guys have together. It was fun conducting your ceremony because it was a celebration of your love.

    Dave was amazing!

    Dave drove down from Dayton multiple times to meet with us in Cincy face to face and really get to know us. He also really took the time to get to personalize our ceremony and to make our day perfect. You can tell he's passionate and loves doing this!

    Couldn't be more pleased

    Dave Evans listened to us and what we wanted for our wedding. He was able to deliver just that. He kept it lighthearted, like we asked. He made sure to include some humor, which we absolutely loved. We wanted to show to our families that this marriage is based upon joy, laughter, love, trust, and simply the coming together to celebrate the love of family. He was able to incorporate all of it with zero judgement and zero awkwardness. We cannot express our gratitude for his service. Thank you, Dave Evans! You were meant to perform our ceremony!

    Highly Recommend

    My husband and are highly recommend Mr. Evans. We needed a minister in a hurry and Dave was the very first person that responded to my request and when me and Dave spoke, he made me feel special and everything will be okay, and he put my mind to ease.

    Overall, fantastic!

    With Dave as our officiant everything went very smoothly. Dave arrived promptly, was very very courteous and gave us exactly what we needed!

    He worked with us on everything, timing, a great speech and told our story very succinctly.

    He was so professional and I wish we could get married again to just have him be our officiant again.

    I couldn’t recommend Dave more for being our officiant!

    Perfect in every way

    Our officiant was so friendly and professional. I felt so comfortable with him marrying us. He got to know us and personalized our service, so that despite the fact that we didn't write our own vows, it was still so beautiful. Hes very responsive and I believe very affordable.

    Dave Evans was such a wonderful officiant at our wedding! We really weren't sure what an officiant for a non religious/non traditional wedding would be like, but after chatting with Dave we knew he would be perfect and he did not disappoint! We loved his passion and could tell he really was excited to be apart of our day. We met with him in person so he could get to know us and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful words he said during our ceremony!
