  We initially stopped on David’s profile as he came across down to earth, friendly and clearly someone who loves his job. That’s exactly how David came across in person too! He’s warm, professional and made such a beautiful bespoke ceremony for us. We felt he really “got us” straight away. David is engaging, relaxed and brought everything we were looking for in a celebrant. Thank you David Xx

  From the first meeting to the big day, David was excellent. He asked questions to get to know us and our story, and crafted a wonderful service for us, even playing the music we requested and cueing them up perfectly. We couldn't be more happy with David, and had many comments from our wedding guests as to what a wonderful service it was. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

  We chose David as our wedding celebrant because on first meeting, he was very friendly, professional and thorough. What's so lovely about David's celebrant service, is that he really cares about every detail of your love story, and begins your marriage ceremony by telling this story to your guests. He also offers advice and help with writing your personalised wedding vows. He also provides you with a beautiful printed booklet of the content of your marriage service after your wedding (this is lovely to look through afterwards). I would definitely recommend David to couples who need a wedding celebrant because I know they'd be in good hands - he leaves no stone unturned in planning your perfect ceremony.

  We didn't know much about celebrant led weddings until we found David, it was a really interesting coincidence when I came across his website as I recognised his face and realised that he was one of my teachers from secondary school several years ago! I saw this as a sign and decided he had to be the one to marry us! David was great right from the first contact, we had a meeting at our venue (my Mum's farm) and he was extremely informative (just like I remember) and everything sounded great so we booked in. A few months before the wedding we had a zoom meeting to go through our love story so that David could write a bespoke ceremony for us, which on our wedding day did not disappoint! We were completely blown away with the amount of thought that went into the beautiful words. We had many compliments throughout the day about how touching and special it was. He is fantastic at what he does and spends so much time getting to know you as a couple in order to provide a personal experience. We chose the hand fasting ritual to be performed with our daughter which was such a lovely touch. Thank you so much David x

  We had a great feeling about David from the first conversation we had with him. David was very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and responsive in the lead up to our wedding. On top of all that, he offered a very fair and competitive price for his services. David personalised our ceremony to exactly what we wanted. He was also able to guide us and inform us whenever we had questions or were unsure about what options to choose for our ceremony. Many of our guests commented on how unique, engaging and beautiful our ceremony was. We would highly recommend David to anyone for their special day.

  We would like to thank David for being our Celebrant on our Wedding, which was on August 2022. It was really lovely to work with him, and he got every detail that we wanted on our big day. One detail that amazed all of our guests, was that he spoke our languages and we all feel included. We would really recommend David as a Celebrant to anyone, and surely we would request his services again if we have another event.

  We’re back from our mini-moon and unfortunately settled back into working life now! I just wanted to reach out and say a massive thank you for being the celebrant on our wedding day. I cannot tell you the amount of people who said it was the best ceremony they’d witnessed – it was so personal, fun and a bit different which is exactly what we wanted. Our guests said they loved the story of how we met, how I ‘bombed’ the ring and the way that we had described each other to you. Some of our guests weren’t aware of our full story so felt they had learned more about us during the ceremony. You specifically were amazing, you really put everyone including me and Jack at ease and we genuinely both had a really great time during the ceremony. You were a really confident and friendly speaker and had great control of the room. The ceremony was really fun and light, and didn’t feel stuffy which often legal ceremonies can feel like. It really set the tone for the rest of the day which was great. We loved every second and are disappointed we can’t do it every year! We absolutely feel like the ceremony you did for us was our ‘real’ wedding and our legal ceremony last year was just a formality. The hand-tying was our favourite bit which is interesting considering I was a bit sceptical at first. It really made our ceremony stand out as different and special. Two of our guests are engaged and have now said they want to do a hand-tying as well because they’re non-religious and absolutely loved the symbolism of it. I have said I will pass on your details to them when they get round to setting a date 🙂 Thank you so much again, it genuinely was the best day of our lives and your work as a celebrant definitely contributed hugely towards that. We loved the whole process and it was nice feeling like we already knew you well once it came to the day as we’d had spoken at length in the weeks beforehand. When we got legally married last year, we met the registrar about five minutes before the ceremony started so it wasn’t anywhere near as personal or special.

  We could not recommend David enough! He enabled us to have the most perfect day with our service being held by the river. We spoke to David a couple of months before the event for him to get to know us better so that the service was tailored to us and on the day everything was just perfect. It was exactly what we wanted, a laid back and personal service that was fun and relaxed! If we could give more than 5 stars we would!

  David performed our ceremony just under two weeks ago now and we would highly recommend. Lovely service, we originally wanted a very traditional wedding but opted for an added hand fasting ritual, that personally none of us had ever heard of. David suggested including our children in this and it was the most beautiful touch and couldn’t have been more perfect. Communication was great, he made sure every tiny detail was accounted for and was very reassuring just before the ceremony to calm our nerves. We also received a lovely handmade script just under a week later that was the perfect end to our wedding bubble. Thank you so much David

  We can’t say enough good things about David and the amazing job he did as our celebrant. With such short notice he worked wonders! We had several video calls and phone calls for him to get to know us as a couple and all of that meant the world to us. He put together a beautiful ceremony that was tasteful, elegant and even had unique traditions, that we wanted, wound within it. We had so many friends and family compliment us on the ceremony. We even got a printed copy of our ceremony delivered all the way to us in the U.S.! David knows how to make your day very special. He is fabulous! Highly, highly recommend.
