Oh David, where do we start? My hubby & I will never be able to thank you enough for the incredibly special wedding ceremony you gave us.

Every one of our family & friends commented on how fabulous our ceremony was & that was 100% thanks to you.

All our guests told us it was the best ceremony they'd ever attended & we couldn't agree more. Thank you just doesn't cover it.

You're an absolute superstar xxx

We just wanted to send along a huge thank you for helping us to have the best wedding day we could have imagined! All of your work with crafting the ceremony is so appreciated. We felt like it was so ‘us’, and I know it made an impact on the guests as well, a lot of them mentioned how this is the best ceremony they have ever attended - and we owe that to you!

We can't thank you enough!

We'll never forget the ceremony, our vows, and just how fantastic it was to have you with us.

Steph (mother of the groom)

Having covered my maternity leave 20 years ago, David was so generous with his time offering help to our son Ben and his future wife, Cait with venue advice as they back packed around Asia. No pressure from him but they loved him and asked him to be their celebrant.

What an amazing job you did on Saturday and certianly set the day up to be one of love and laughter.

I am eternally grateful!

I didn't know how to go about having a naming ceremony for my child, but desperately wanted something special and memorable.

David listened carefully to our family's story and put together the most wonderful script for the day, including all softs of details I wouldn't have thought of.

On the day the words landed in a way that I had only been able to imagine possible, all thanks to David and his patience and understanding of people. Delivered with aplomb - thank you!
