David is a college professor of History who has been officiating weddings for many years now in Central Park.
“Since I prefer officiating at simple and small weddings, I can be selective. With me, you’re guaranteed as much help as you need in working on a ceremony that’s just right for you. If need be, I can also guide you through the process of getting the license and finding the perfect spot for you.”
FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a former Catholic priest, so I have had a great deal of experience working with couples, as well as organizing weddings from beginning to end. At this time, I prefer doing small weddings (under 20 people) in the city (parks, landmarks, homes, apartments, restaurants) as a different way of serving people who would like to get married.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I officiate at smaller weddings in Central Park and around the city – typically from 3 to 20 people. Same-sex couples and those looking for a last-minute wedding are particularly welcome. You can edit and customize the ceremony to fit your desires so it’s meaningful for you.
Specialties: Wedding, Elopement, Commitment ceremony, Vow renewal, Interfaith, Non-denominational (mentions God), Non-religious (no mention of God)

Dave stepped in for a very last minute change of plan to our NYC elopement, to avoid the holiday horrors of city hall. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer, kinder, more helpful officiant, who just sorted everything out for us and made us feel completely at ease. Dave, you saved the day and we definitely want to take you out for a thank you drink when we come back across the pond!!
