Scott officiated our ceremony at Twelve Oaks Mansion and we couldn’t be happier with our decision with booking the Wedding Chaplain. The entire planning process was so easy and organized. We trusted Scott from the very beginning, he was so helpful and so genuinely kind and excited our marriage. Our ceremony went so smoothly and was exactly how we wanted it to be. It truly was the perfect day and we’re so excited to have such a great foundation for our marriage.

Let me start by saying I am Catholic, while my now husband is agnostic. I knew getting married in a church was off the table, but it was still very important to me to still have some sort of religious affiliation in our ceremony/marriage. I was really struggling with how to have a religious ceremony, without going “overboard” and making my husband and his family uncomfortable (for lack of a better word). We found David through a quick search on the Knot. It was clear from the first 3 minutes of the call that he was the person we wanted to officiate our wedding. Both of us were immediately comfortable with his demeanor and the way he made us feel at ease about how the ceremony would go. He made it easy to find middle ground to have the ceremony we both wanted. We did go with the premarital counseling as well, and I would definitely recommend that to anybody and everybody, just to really take the time to learn about each other if nothing else. David talked through a lot of things we knew about each other but had never really learned to handle and I can honestly say that has eased a lot of tensions between us. Reminding us to take breaks from wedding talk and continue to prioritize our relationship was one of his key points, and that definitely helped alleviate a ton of stress and made us check in with how we were both feeling along the way. David was personable, easy to talk to, and consistently adjusted his schedule so that we could have our appointments during times that worked with ours (we live in OR, so we’re 3 hours behind his time zone and are only both available in the evenings). The entire process of working with David was easy, enlightening, and the ceremony went so smoothly thanks to his communication and timeline. I highly recommend David and WeddingChaplain.com to anybody looking for a professional and friendly officiant!

Dale was absolutely amazing. From the first meeting to the big day he followed through on every detail. Would recommend this company and epically DALE to anyone. Do not SKIMP on this part of the wedding. Dale was incredibly knowledgeable, organized, prompt and just overall so easy to work with. 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 families are, 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 perfect the ceremony was. THANK YOU DALE for making our wedding day stress free and memorable!

David was an amazing officiant! I had so many guests tell me how beautiful the ceremony was! He was also so much fun to work with! I would definitely recommend!

David Anderson married my husband Nick and I a few weeks ago now and I could not have asked for a more kind, organized, and amazing person to marry us and be a part of our day. David was a huge help in the entire process even when we changed our plans about three times (as any bride of 2020 knows). We had countless compliments regarding David's sermon and set up of the ceremony. If you are looking for a minister for your wedding who is kind, organized, and genuine, David is your guy!!!

2020-09-19T15:03:46.000Z

David married us this past weekend and he was wonderful! Not only did he make our pre-wedding meetings enjoyable and worth while, he officiated our ceremony beautifully. He spoke as if he had known us for years and added beautiful touches that people are still commenting about. It was perfectly timed and really kept the audiences attention. We have taken away lessons from our meetings that will stay with us for a life time. You don’t only get a beautiful ceremony from him, but advice that will benefit your life and marriage!

2020-09-12T18:35:09.000Z

David was great through the whole wedding planning process! We had to move our date several times and he made it work every time. We also received a lot of compliments on the “wine box” idea. His ceremony was engaging and personal. He took the time to get to know us on a personal level and that was reflected in the day. Would definitely recommend!

2020-09-04T03:13:29.000Z

David Anderson had EVERYTHING covered from the time we first met with him. The absolute best review I can give is that my Grandma was "very impressed", and loved our wedding ceremony, and so did we!

2019-10-04T13:01:38.000Z

What an amazing experience we received from Rev Dale L. I have nothing but incredible things to say about him. If you want a highly personalized and meaningful ceremony Rev. Dale is your guy. We had numerous guests approach us at the reception to praise the work Rev. Dale did for us. 5/5 A+!

2019-09-24T13:56:46.000Z

David performed our ceremony this past weekend and was just a delight to work with. He worked with us to make our ceremony exactly what we had hoped for. Thank you so much for being part of our special day. We will only have fond memories to look back on!

2019-09-20T02:48:48.000Z

Amazing!!! Reverend Anderson was an instrumental part of our perfect first steps together as a married couple. His dedication to not just the ceremony, but to the journey his customers will be taking after was exactly what we were looking for in an officiant.

2019-09-12T16:44:50.000Z

David did a phenomenal job officiating our Ceremony over Labor Day Weekend !! We only met with him a couple of times, and he got us right away!! I loved every minute of it! He really put in a lot of thought into our ceremony. I’m so glad we found our way to him !

2019-09-09T17:44:50.000Z

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.

2019-08-19T00:06:11.000Z

We highly recommend weddingchaplain.com for your wedding ceremony! We cannot speak highly enough of Rev. Scott Carney. We thoroughly enjoyed every step of the process with him. He was prompt with communication by phone/email/text, easy to schedule with, and developed the perfect ceremony with us. We received so many compliments on our ceremony overall. Thank you again for being there and guiding us through our big day!

2019-08-08T15:04:39.000Z

David is the best in the business! He officiated my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding at Bella Sera a few weeks ago and it could not have gone more smoothly even though it was very warm weather. My husband and I were very impressed as were numerous guests who asked for his contact info. Thank you David and May God bless you!

2019-06-25T14:30:50.000Z

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Rev. David Anderson! We knew we wanted him to officiate our wedding after witnessing him marry two of our friends last year. David is incredibly down-to-earth and easy to talk with. Our meetings before the wedding were personal and meaningful. We received many compliments from our guests on David's service - he was welcoming, funny, and helped make our day exactly how we wanted.

2019-05-31T18:51:50.000Z

Dale is an amazing officiant. Our ceremony felt perfect. Dale really made it feel like he was our pastor and gave it a special touch. It truly felt like he had known us both for 28 years! Highly recommend Dale. 10 STARS! Thank you Dale for being such an amazing person!

2018-10-07T14:38:06.000Z

We’d recommend David, hands down. He made us feel comfortable with him, like we’ve know him for years. We gained so much from our before wedding conversations. So meaningful, calming, knowledgeable and supportive. This helped play directly into the ceremony. It was perfect. How personal, meaningful, close, fun, and spiritual. We received countless compliments for how beautifully done the ceremony was. We’d highly recommend to connect with David. You and your partner will forever be happy with the decision!

2018-08-15T02:19:19.000Z

We absolutely loved Rev. David.I LOVED how he performed our ceremony, many of our guests came up to us and complimented on his style and execution. People ask us what our favorite part of our special day was and me and my fiance say it's the ceremony, David was a big part of that! If you are a bride and reading this contact David right away - you will not regret booking him for your wedding!

2018-06-20T20:22:12.000Z

I could not be happier with Rev. David, The Wedding Chaplain. He was professional, yet down to earth, and made everyone feel comfortable. I had so many guests comment on the reverend, and the wonderful ceremony he performed, June 2, 2018. I searched high and low for someone to perform our wedding ceremony, and accommodate my needs. As a disabled bride, I had certain requirements for our ceremony. Rev. David fulfilled all my requirements for our ceremony. He was willing to travel to our location in Pennsylvania; which was close to home for us, but a distance for him (over 3 hours). He made our ceremony less stressful, and beautiful. Thank you Rev. David for all that you did. As soon as I get photos, I will post them.

2018-03-23T12:24:51.000Z

David did an amazing job for our wedding! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding. I can’t recomend a better person to lead your wedding.

2017-10-07T16:05:22.000Z

David officiated our wedding two weeks ago, and it was the best day of our lives. We met Dave about a year and half before our wedding, but we felt as though we knew him much longer. He was personable, funny, and caring and provided us with valuable marriage advice. The ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Multiple guests have complimented how personal and professional David made the ceremony. We couldn't have been happier having him be a part of our wedding day.

2017-09-13T20:27:36.000Z

David was worth 5 stars +! He was able to make our wedding ceremony planning so easy and smooth. He made sure that it fit our styles and personalities perfectly by making sure he really got to know us during our counseling sessions. David was so easy to talk to and made us laugh every time we got together with him. Each session we had both my husband and I took away critical points and they've stuck with us ever since. He made everyone in our wedding party feel comfortable (including ourselves) and it made for a great ceremony! It's nice to know that even after the ceremony David is still available for us anytime we want to reach out. I would definitely recommend David for any of your wedding or relationship needs!

2017-09-10T17:53:49.000Z

David did an incredible job with our ceremony last weekend! We couldn't have asked for anything better or different. The ceremony was personalized to suit us and everything went smoothly even with the 50 degree temps on Labor Day weekend! He was so much fun to work with and he kept us laughing the whole time. Thank you for everything!

2017-08-02T02:59:45.000Z

2017-07-27T22:57:12.000Z

David was a pleasure to work with! He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and we really enjoyed all of his advice & guidance along the way! David was quick to respond to any questions that we had and made everything so simple. Our wedding ceremony was short & sweet, and David made it so special! We would highly recommend David to anyone looking for an officiant!

2017-07-09T14:28:46.000Z

I would highly recommend David to officiate your ceremony. David provided a very personal and heartfelt ceremony and people were very surprised we didn't know him for years. I LOVE the personal touches he added. It made the day truely magical! ❤️

2017-05-01T19:21:48.000Z

Rev. Joseph O'Malley was absolutely fantastic. He understood exactly what we wanted and made sure the message was personalized for our wants! He was quick to answer any questions we may of had! I would recommend him to anyone!

2016-09-25T02:39:30.000Z

If I could give Pastor Dave 10 stars I would. I was very specific when I begin my journey looking for the right pastor to marry us. I wanted something unique and different and someone that could take sarcasm and twisted into something beautiful. Not only did he suit our unique personalities but he suited a huge array of personalities in the very diverse group of people we keep close to us. We have heard nothing but compliments since our ceremony that took place on Labor Day weekend. He took time to find the meanings behind our names and made them relevant during the ceremony. I would recommend him not only for his devotion to making your day perfect, but his professionalism and attention to detail. I am so thankful that we found him and he made everything perfect for my day. Marrying my best friend Was just that much more special because Pastor Dave was the one that did it for us.

2016-06-16T01:53:38.000Z

Rev. 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!
