“the BEST” Rev

Our ceremony was the highlight of our wedding for us 🪴 Family & friends loved our ceremony just as much. Rev Dave made the effort to get to know us & all of our guests could tell. We had several friends who assumed that he was a family member or personal friend! We received so many complements on the format of our ceremony & how lighthearted, yet personal he made the experience. The secret silly vows are such a perfect & unique addition. The unity plant was perfect for us.

Rev Dave’s preparation & reassurance were the perfect fit for my gregarious husband AND my shy self. He livens up any event, but balances this with understanding & support for those of us who are t.e.r.r.i.f.i.e.d. of standing in front of a crowd to divulge our innermost emotions.

Our wedding would not have been what it was without Rev Dave. He was always there to guide us & made our ceremony so perfectly “us”. We can not recommend him highly enough.

Many people shared with us that this was the most engaging and enjoyable ceremony that they have ever been to. Reverend Dave made our day so special!
