- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Pastor Dave was great from the start. We enjoyed getting to know him for a few months leading up to the wedding day in the 5-6 pre-marriage counseling sessions we had. It was really important to us that whomever was going to marry us needed to know us and our relationship. I think that's what is great about Pastor Dave's program. He encourages you to go through some relationship building sessions as part of the journey.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We chose not to anything additional to the vows and rings, but we did choose vows that were special in meaning to us.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Our guests thought the ceremony was beautiful.
Review: Highly Recommend!!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? I was completely at ease with Dave! He was open to everything we asked and really took the time to get to know us as a couple.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Dave allowed us to have a last minute rehearsal at his church and he added a little something extra in our ceremony (I don't want to spoil it but it involved a bag of candy!).
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Our location was incredibly personal as it was the site of our first date. My husbands mother passed away some years ago so we asked Dave to mention her which he did beautifully. We also added a reading my our favorite author Mitch Albom, which is something we also share with Dave.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? I had several comments during the reception about how beautiful it was. My favorite though was a facebook comment the following day. One of my dads long time friends who is always joking and having a good time wrote that it was a really great ceremony. For this man to have actually enjoyed sitting through the ceremony (and not just the party after) really relayed to me that we had done something special.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? From the first time we met Dave, he totally put us at ease. He was organized and thorough, and it was clear that he wanted to understand our vision to make our ceremony exactly as we wanted.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? We wanted traditional, but not generic and Dave had some great suggestions to make the ceremony unique and memorable. One of my favorite elements of the ceremony was the marriage certificate Dave replicated from when his grandparents were married. Although the state of Georgia no longer requires a witness signature, we had our best man and matron of honor sign the replicated marriage certificate as a keepsakes.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We wrote letters to one another discussing what made us fall in love and the characteristics we admire in each other. We enclosed the letters with a bottle of wine and on our 5th wedding anniversary we will read the letters and enjoy the wine!
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? We received so many compliments, but the biggest is that we have had friends ask to use similar elements in their wedding ceremony, that speaks volumes!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Pastor Dave is just naturally calm, witty and charming. From the moment we met him we knew this was our guy, because he was so easy to talk to. It was like having a friend as our officiant.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Dave added his own touch to the ceremony and it fit our style perfectly. There's humor and stability. Pastor Dave is well aware of the importance of the ceremony, but will remind you that it's YOUR ceremony and you should enjoy it.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Since I came along with a 6 year old, Dave suggested we add a sand ceremony to symbolize the union of our family. It was a great idea and well received. It truly made my son feel like he was a big part of our day, because he was.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? There wasn't a particular stand out. Everyone enjoyed the ceremony and the reception. We were surrounded by family and friends, couldn't have asked for better weather and Pastor Dave led a wonderful ceremony. Definitely the memory we were hoping for.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Yes!!!! Dave was AMAZING!!!! He customized our wedding to fit our personalities, and he was such a pleasure to work with! He has a great personality, and makes you feel very welcome in his presence! We had more compliments about him than we did anything else. People were taken aback by the ceremony! I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to create such a special memory!
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? He added a little something, but I dont want to tell... I do not want to ruin the surprise for other Bride's and Groom's out there! But, I will tell you that it put a huge smile on our faces :)
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We did not completely personalize our wedding ourselves... Dave helped in a huge way! I am not the most traditional person in the world, so he helped customize our ceremony to our comfort and liking! He is just an amazing person!
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? We just received a card in the mail the other day, and in it said, "we love the wine box love letter reading in 5 years, that is awesome". This art of the ceremony was recommended by Dave. When he recommended it to my husband and I, we both melted! We also had MANY people come up to us at the reception telling us how great our ceremony was!
Review: Fantastic Job

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Dave did a great job with our wedding. He worked with us to create the ceremony we wanted, but was experienced and knowledgeable enough to fill in gaps we were unsure about. He kept in touch with us as the wedding day approached, and was always quick to respond if we had a question. He has a caring, calm, and professional demeanor that put us at ease throughout the process.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? He suggested a "signing ceremony" where we signed a handsome old marriage certificate. I was a neat idea that fit perfectly with our wedding.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We wrote our own vows.
Review: Thank you for making our wedding day so special!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Dave made us very comfortable! After my (now) husband Greg proposed... the planning began! Greg and I met with 3 ministers prior to meeting Dave. After meeting Dave our decision was clear! It was as if we were having coffee with an old friend. Dave made us feel very comfortable with how we envisoned our special day and even came up with a few really great ideas to make our ceremony even more special! We greatly enjoyed Dave and my big italian family just loved him! We had a number of guests who commented on what a terrific job he did. My husband and I think the world of Dave and would recommend him to anyone. If you have stumbled across his page in search of a minister for your special day.... look no further.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Dave suprised us with a bag of M&M's. The bag of M&M's was a symbol of my mine and my husband's personalities,families, character, etc. All mixed together to create our lives together. It was a nice suprise!
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? My husband's mother passed when he was 19. My husband was very sad his mother wouldn't be present for our wedding day. Dave and I suprised my husband with stories of his past experiences with his mother (provided by his father). Dave worked these stories into our ceremony beautifully and really helped to make Greg's mother a part of our wedding.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? I have a big italian family who feels it is necessary to provide their opinion on everything. The one comment that we recieved that was most consistent was how great our minister was. Everyone thought Dave had known us our entire lives. The food was great, wonderful to have the family together, adn an absolutely beautiful ceremony. We thank Dave so much for making our wedding day so special.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Yes. Dave met with us twice, and each time got to know us a little bit better, which made it very easy when we decided to go with him for our small wedding ceremony in Roswell. Our situation is not the most "normal," but Dave was understanding and gave good advice before the ceremony and during.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? He added very nice personal touches to our ceremony that helped to make both of our families feel comfortable, and laugh from time time throughout the ceremony as well.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We decided to have a smaller ceremony this year with just family, and Dave was very good about making it so special for us and helping us figure out what exactly we wanted out of our wedding ceremony.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? That Dave was very personable and well-spoken.
