Ellysimon Sent on 20/07/2024Exceptional Officiant: Personalized, Professional, and Seamlessly Memorable
After meeting several officiants, we chose David to share our special day. He stood out because our conversations with him felt natural and relaxed, and he quickly grasped our desired ambiance and style. We knew he was the right person to be part of this significant moment.
The ceremony is a key part of the wedding, and David played an essential role in engaging our guests, creating an intimate yet fun and memorable experience for everyone. The ceremony's length was perfect, striking a balance that was both impressive and special. David's natural presence made it feel like he had known us for a long time, seamlessly blending into the event, which was very important to us. We also received many compliments from our guests about his heartfelt words and the impact he had on them.
David's professionalism and warmth were evident from our first meeting. He took the time to understand our love story, personalizing the ceremony to reflect our journey together. His eloquence and ability to convey our feelings in such a beautiful way made the ceremony incredibly touching and meaningful.
What meant the most to us was David's ability to make us feel comfortable and ensure a smooth flow during the ceremony. He fit right in, making the occasion truly special for us. His calming presence and clear guidance helped ease any nervousness we had, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment.
In addition to his excellent officiating skills, David's organizational abilities were top-notch. He was punctual, thorough, and always available for any questions or concerns we had. His attention to detail ensured that everything ran seamlessly and his proactive communication kept us informed and confident throughout the planning process.
I wholeheartedly recommend David. He has an exceptional ability to bring people together with his genuine and warm demeanor. He is highly organized and takes the time during the planning phase to get to know the couple, ensuring they feel comfortable from the very beginning. His passion for his role as an officiant truly shines through, making every moment of the ceremony special and unforgettable.Acorn 2 Oak Ceremonies's reply:

Becky S. Sent on 14/12/2024Perfectly curated ceremony
David's ceremony captured our relationship and story so far perfectly. We wanted a celebrant who had conviction and presence without being too theatrical or corny and David certainly accomplished this. He made us feel at total ease during the planning process and was professional and courteous throughout. He even dealt with an intruding hornet halfway through the ceremony with such effect the whole congregation gave him a round of applause! We would recommend David to anyone who wants a ceremony with authenticity, laid back vibes and lots of personal touches.Acorn 2 Oak Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you so much Becky and Callum for your lovely and kind words. It was amazing working with you and I loved officiating your ceremony, your vows to each other were so beautiful. The hornet certainly made your ceremony even more unique and memorable! Thank you again for choosing me to be your celebrant. -

Exactly what we wanted!
David took the time to know us, understand the kind of people we are and type of ceremony we wanted. He was very careful to make any wording changes exact to our request and delivered the ceremony without fault. His style was warm and relaxed while still commanding the attention of the "room" which in our case was a field!
We had comments from our guests that he was the best wedding celebrant they had seen and pitched our ceremony just right for us.
Communications were straightforward and timely. We felt well supported all the way through. Would highly recommend David.Acorn 2 Oak Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you Charlotte and Jamie for your wonderfully kind words. I loved getting to know you both (your dogs and horses too) and delivering your fun and memorable ceremony at the farm. Officiating a wedding underneath a tractor bucket arch was definitely a first for me & I loved it. Thank you for choosing me to be your wedding celebrant. -

Arindam S. Sent on 21/10/2024Thanks David!
We chose David as our wedding celebrant because he took the time to explain what the options were and he took the time to listen to what we wanted and adapted the ceremony accordingly
David's services helped to make our day more memorable and special.
What meant the most to us was when our 9 year old niece was giving her speech, he took some time to help her organise her notes beforehand so she could deliver her speech to the best of her ability. It was very touching!
We would recommend David because he will take the time to listen to what you want and help to tailor the service towards your needs -

David was recommended to us by our wedding venue (The Maynard) and he did not disappoint!
From the moment we met David (via teams due to our location) he was super friendly, inquisitive, helpful and very knowledgeable. David set up regular meetings with us, running us through every detail of the speech he wrote and giving us the chance to edit the speech (though this wasn’t required). David is clearly an expert in his field and super experienced.
As well as perfectly capturing us as a couple he was entertaining and captivated our guests with the tales of our love story!
As well as this, David provided us with a reel of our wedding and the photos he captured and a beautifully bound wedding certificate and transcript of our ceremony.
At all stages, David went over and above to make sure everything was perfect!
I could not recommend David enough!Acorn 2 Oak Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words. You were both great fun to work with and The Maynard is such a gorgeous setting. I loved delivering your ceremony and playing a small part in your big day. Thank you for choosing me as your wedding celebrant. -

Kanachan M. Sent on 02/09/2024So lucky to have found David!
We chose David to be our celebrant because his values for nature resonated with us and we thought he would be great since our ceremony was in the new forest. We feel very lucky to have found David and his service was outstanding. He walked us through step-by-step the process of planning a ceremony that would be personal to us, he was really kind throughout and did an amazing job on the day. We felt relieved to be in safe hands as he clearly knew what he was doing. The best part of David’s service was when he told our love story with the right amount of sincerity and humour that we wanted. We also opted for the hand-fasting ceremony which was really special and we’re so glad we did it. We would recommend David as he is generally a really kind person, he’s amazing at what he does and we feel very lucky and grateful to have found him to be our celebrant :) -

Alex B. Sent on 18/08/2024Fantastic celebrant
We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant in David. Right from the start he was welcoming, helpful and easy to talk to. The collaboration between us and him on our vows and service prior to the wedding went very smoothly. He allowed us to have plenty of creative freedom with creating our love story, as well as allowing us the flexibility to update or tweak any elements of our story or vows when needed.
He was very generous with his time on the big day, by turning up earlier than initially planned to put us at ease with our preparations, as well as being really friendly and approachable to our friends and family as they arrived. The ceremony itself couldn’t have gone better. David had lots of energy right from the outset and toed the line perfectly between fun and lighthearted as well as genuine sincerity where necessary. After the ceremony he didn’t rush off and stayed to mingle with the guests and have a celebratory drink with us before heading home. We had many guests coming up to us afterwards saying how much they enjoyed his ceremony and we couldn’t agree more with everything they said. We’re thrilled to have chosen David as our wedding celebrant and would absolutely recommend him to all our friends and family in the future. Thank you David! -
