Could not say enough positive things about Rev David Anderson. His experience and professionalism made our day effortless. He took charge when needed and made the ceremony go off without issue. He was helpful in assisting with ideas and flow of the ceremony. His added touch of a personalized message just for us was touching. We also enjoyed and learned some things about ourselves and our relationship in our premarital counseling that he did with us. He is truly a special person and I would recommend him for any setting. -

Jackie Sent on 01/10/2025Beautiful Ceremony
Pastor Burl Jernigan officiated my husband and I’s wedding last September at the Glidden House. The months leading up to our wedding, we met a few times via phone and discussed what we envisioned for our ceremony. The day before we met in person at the rehearsal. On our wedding day, Pastor Burl officiated a beautiful ceremony, exactly as we envisioned. We appreciate all Pastor Burl did for us throughout the process and for being an important part of our wedding day. -

My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend David Anderson as your officiant. From our very first marriage prep session, David took the time to truly get to know us, and that care was beautifully reflected in his thoughtful and heartfelt homily during our ceremony. He provided excellent resources and insightful suggestions to help us craft a ceremony that felt deeply personal and aligned with our vision.
Beyond the ceremony, David offered invaluable advice during our prep sessions, helping us stay grounded and focused on our relationship amidst the whirlwind of wedding planning. He made every step of the process— including navigating marriage licenses and ceremony logistics—simple and stress-free.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the ceremony and David’s words, and we couldn’t agree more. Choosing David as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made! -

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. -

David squeezed us into his busy schedule and did not disappoint! The ceremony was perfect and he was very responsive through the whole process. It was probably the best ceremony I have ever attended and I was the one getting married.
If you have the chance you should definitely work with David! -

Rev. David Anderson performed a beautiful ceremony for us. He also led us through premarital counseling with the SYMBIS program which we really enjoyed and learned a lot from! -

David Sent on 10/15/2022Burl was the absolute best officiant!
We used the wedding chaplain for our wedding officiant and couldn’t be happier! Burl was extremely responsive and kind throughout the entire process. He built the ceremony to our needs and spent plenty of time getting to know us! We received so many compliments on our service and would easily recommend Burl to anyone else! -

Dustin Sent on 07/19/2022Can't be any more THANKFUL!
When it comes to the definition of excellence and pride in a profession, David is at the head of the pack. Right from the first phone call to potentially hire David to the moment he bound our hearts and hands in marriage, he was so respectful and attentive. His "homework" and pre-wedding counseling really opened our eyes to things many couples, including us, may not be focusing on. The time leading up to our wedding, his homework assignments really opened out eyes and brought us even closer than we were when we walked into his office. When it came to the ceremony, the program he created and the verses he chose were so on the money with what we had hoped to have for our ceremony. We couldn't be any more impressed with how much he truly listened to our words, and the way he incorporated our "homework" into the ceremony. There is truly nothing cookie cutter about David. His personal touch and words to cater to who we are as a couple truly amazed us. To any couples who want to truly get a hand up in their relationship, as amazing as it might already be, and also know and feel like he truly put in the time and effort to get to know who YOU are as a couple while at the alter, David is truly second to none. It's been several weeks since our wedding, and when the subject of the wedding comes up, people still bring up how great David was. They usually mention the fact that it wasn't a "run of the mill" ceremony, because David did so well to make it so personal, keep things moving along, and the consensus of the favorite part is how he kept everyone in the crowd so engaged because he finds a way to bring in a bit of laughter. We can not possibly thank him enough! All I can hope to the couples that may read this is, while shopping around, take a chance and a moment to talk to David and better yet, take a meeting. To all couples shopping around, CONGRATULATIONS!
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. Armstrong -

David was so wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning process. He spoke with us twice over the phone before our wedding day and helped to make everything run very smoothly at both the rehearsal and on the wedding day. The ceremony was beautifully prepared. Many of our guests complimented on what a great ceremony it was and how David kept the crowd interested and engaged the whole time. We definitely recommend The Wedding Chaplain! -

Rachel Sent on 11/03/2021Amazing experience working with David!
David from WeddingChaplain.com was AMAZING!!! He spent many hours with my now Husband and I prior to our wedding discussing the process, details / options, and SYMBIS. We absolutely loved the ceremony that David lead for us and highly recommend him! 5 Stars all the way :) -

Nicole Sent on 10/22/2021Dale is amazing!
Dale was absolutely amazing. From the first meetings to the big day he followed through on every detail. Would recommend to anyone, do not SKIMP on this part of the wedding.
Even though we only knew Dale for a year (we started planning early) it seemed like we knew him our whole lives. He really tailored the ceremony to fit us. My husband and I are not religious, but our parents are, so he was able to include a short but sweet religious piece in the ceremony, without it being the focal point. Exactly what we wanted.
Three months later we are still getting compliments on how amazing and fitting the ceremony was. -

Matt Sent on 05/27/2021The most memorable moment of our day!
Rev. David Anderson did a phenomenal job officiating our wedding. He created our ceremony in the most perfect way and truly made it the most memorable moment from our wedding. The ceremony was personalized towards us and David made it feel as if he has known us for many years. The ceremony had the perfect balance of all the traditional wedding things you want; mixed with emotions and some humor. Every one of our guests raved about how perfect the ceremony was! We truly enjoyed working with David during the pre-wedding planning and appreciated the time and effort he gave us to make our day as perfect as possible. If we could leave 10 stars, we would!! -

Kelsie Sent on 02/21/2021Detail Oriented
Trying to plan a wedding during covid came with a lot of challenges. We moved to California and had the added stress of planning from a distance. A month before the wedding I found the Wedding Chaplains. I am so happy that we made that decision because Dale was wonderful! He put together a beautiful ceremony and helped us through the whole process. He suggested we have a wine box ceremony which our guests really liked. Dale was professional and would go out of his way to check in with us to see if we needed anything. If you’re looking for someone detail oriented then Dale is your guy! -

We were lucky to have Dale officiant our wedding. Dale truly bent over backwards to make our wedding ceremony PERFECT. Dale met with us for hours on end to make sure every detail was spot on.

Mackenzie Sent on 09/09/2019David made our ceremony so special
When we first met with David, he asked us questions about our childhood, our families, our personalities, and of course, our relationship with each other - how we met, what we like to do together, why we were marrying each other. We felt like he really took the time to get to know us, which ultimately led to an amazing ceremony. During the ceremony, not only did he focus on my husband and I as a couple, but he also talked about us as individuals, and even got all of our family members involved. We did not have a religious ceremony, but my husband's mother is Jewish, and it really meant a lot her for us to break the traditional glass. He executed this for us no problem. We received so many compliments on our ceremony because of David. We are so grateful a friend referred us to him - he truly made the entire ceremony so special. -

Revered Dale Lautzenheiser was our officiant for our wedding. His ceremony was one of the best parts of our wedding day! During meetings with Dale, he was so prepared, very professional, and had wonderful recommendations for how to make our ceremony special and individualized. He truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend. -
![Megan]()
Megan Sent on 08/02/2018Reverend David was an absolute joy to work with. He met with us and was very flexible as I do not live in Pittsburgh anymore. We did many conference calls to accommodate this. He made our ceremony extremely special including personal touches throughout. If you want a ceremony that is full of meaning and feels as though it is yourself, your spouse, and Reverend David, he is the perfect man for the job. I absolutely would recommend him and will be using him for vow renewal in the future! -

Melanie Sent on 06/15/2016Rev. David M. Anderson was wonderful! After 2 pre-marriage counseling sessions we could not have been happier with our decision. He really takes the time to get to know you as individuals and as a couple. He was a pleasure to work with and made our ceremony so special. Thank you very much for a day we will always cherish.
