    David was fantastic. We had a very simple wedding, and David had many options for us to choose from for our vows. We even asked to edit some of the vows to reflect us a bit more, and he changed them immediately. He came for both our rehearsal and the ceremony, and really did an amazing job. I wouldn't change anything about the ceremony, and David had a great deal to do with that.

    David was extremely helpful in picking what to include in my wedding ceremony. We had communicated several times and he was very accommodating to changes. He presented to me a final copy of the ceremony for review prior to the wedding. I was deeply moved and it left me speechless. Everything was very on point with me and my now husband. My wedding day finally came and David delivered that incredible ceremony. Every single one of my wedding guest was moved and impressed by David's ceremony. He received great reviews from all including my bag Piper and photographer. David has a wonderful way with words. He makes you comfortable and is very good at what he does. I recommend anyone considering using him to do so!

    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.

    Dual Vow Renewal 10/26/19

    From the very first call with David we knew we chose the right officiant for our ceremony. Our friends wanted a ring blessing for their renewal and my husband and I chose to write our own vows. David was very accommodating on our last minute changes and gave us the most memorable experience., His professional and caring demeanor and enthusiasm to please us, leaving us with feelings great joy after our event. We (all four of us) highly recommend his services.

    David was outstanding! We had a small wedding and could not have asked for a better experience using David as the officiant for the ceremony. Many of our family members commented on what a great job he did as well and how nice the readings were that he chose. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day so memorable!

    Our ceremony was absolutely perfect and we can't thank David enough! He made the entire process very easy and happily incorporated poems we choose and our own vows into the ceremony. We loved the parts of the ceremony that he wrote as well and he made us feel so comfortable during the whole thing. We flew in from Florida for our destination wedding in Lake Placid and David was extremely helpful and put us at ease with the ceremony planning portion. He had great ideas and guided us the whole way. We are so thankful and happy that he was a part of our special day!!

    David is as good as it gets! Our ceremony was absolutely perfect. All of our guests raved about how the ceremony was perfect in length and how well David delivered. David was very accessible, answering any questions we had from the time we hired him to the wedding day. He is extremely easy to work with and really wants your day to run smoothly.

    We are so pleased with David Viggianni's work as our wedding officiant. He is very talented at penning vows and pays special attention to details about the bride and groom. He was very easy to work with and flexible with our atypical location. A very enjoyable experience all around.

    We cannot recommend David enough. He officiated our wedding last month and made it absolutely perfect. We had several delicate family situations had David gave us multiple options to handle them, and they all went off without a hitch. His experience and expertise are unmatched. He's extremely responsive and had an answer for all of our questions/concerns. If you're looking for a wedding officiant, definitely reach out to David--we couldn't be happier!

    David was fantastic to work with! If you are looking for someone to help you put together a unique ceremony, he is your guy. My husband and I were very happy with how he managed to work in all of the little things that are important to us. He was extremely patient and accommodating. We really didn't know where to start with the whole process but he made it easy and guided us through it. Everything from the months of preparation leading up to our big day, right through the ceremony went flawlessly. I would definitely recommend him!

    Working with David was an amazing experience! We would highly recommend him for his officiant services. From the start, he spent time getting to know us and finding out what we wanted in our ceremony. He had some ideas for us to personalize it. After receiving our draft ceremony, we asked him to make a few changes to quotes or readings. He had sent a list of many options to use and quickly revised the draft for us. During the ceremony, he was personable and professional. He went over everything with us before the ceremony as well. Really happy that we chose David!!

    Officiant- David

    We could not imagine anyone else marrying us. David is so professional, funny, and a great speaker. He made my now husband and I feel so comfortable during such an important/special part of our lives. I would recommend him to anyone who asks! Look no more, David is here to save the day!

    Great experience

    We had David perform our wedding ceremony and were VERY pleased. He was very organized and punctual for both the rehearsal and ceremony. He gave us great advice for the flow of the ceremony. He kept me calm before the ceremony. We both felt VERY confident that the ceremony would go off without a hitch. We would HIGHLY recommend David.

    We wanted a short ceremony that was to the point and we received just that. Even though it was short it was still romantic and beautiful. David was extremely helpful and having him at the rehearsal was necessary because he is so knowledgeable. We strongly recommend him!

    My wife Rebecca and I consider ourselves fortunate to have found David Viggiani to be the wedding officiant for our wedding. He has solid credentials, which is one reason we selected him. He asked to meet with us and after discussing our plans he identified the option that he offers that best suited what we wanted to do. He is able to address different levels of involvement and effort, based on what the couple is looking for. We then worked with David on the Ceremony "script", exchanging information until we had what we wanted. He accommodated a few of our custom requests and in the end it was smooth sailing. We highly recommend David to all.

    The Perfect Beginning to Our Happily Ever After

    From the moment we met David, we knew our ceremony at Boldt Castle would be in the most caring and capable hands. He took the time to know our love story — not just the details, but the heart of it — and from that, he crafted a ceremony that was as romantic and timeless as the castle itself.

    On our wedding day, beneath the towering stone walls and surrounded by the shimmering waters, David spoke with such warmth, elegance, and grace that it felt as though we had stepped straight into the pages of a romance novel. His words wrapped around us like poetry, and every moment felt touched by magic. The ceremony flowed effortlessly, filled with emotions we — and our guests — will cherish forever.

    Our guests still tell us it felt timeless, as if they had stepped into a living fairytale, and many said it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever witnessed. We will forever be grateful for the care, thought, and love David poured into making it so special.

    He didn’t just officiate our wedding; he became part of our story — the perfect beginning to our happily ever after.

    With all our gratitude,
    Nikollette & Pinhas

    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!

    David did a fantastic job officiating our wedding in October and I would recommend him to anybody. We had a non-religious same-sex wedding and he was very accommodating and easy to work with. We had no idea what we were doing - luckily he had many suggestions that ended up making the ceremony perfect. David is a great speaker - no need for a microphone for our wedding! I had several people comment to us on how outstanding the ceremony was.
