Incredible experience!

I am so incredibly grateful that we chose to have Ron as our officiant, and we can’t thank Ron enough for a wonderful wedding experience! We would definitely recommend his services.

On your wedding day, you want to be able to relax and trust that you are in safe hands, and we felt that with Ron completely. Ron is clearly an experienced professional, and he brought his years of experience to the table in helping us make sure that we were prepared in every way for our big day.

On the day of the ceremony, Ron was exactly what we wanted from an officiant, and was a wonderful presence. We honestly had so many of our guests tell us that this was the most moving wedding service they had every witnessed, and that is in no small part due to Ron!

Our wedding really was the fairy tale we had always wanted, and we can’t thank Ron enough for being a key part of the most important day of our lives!

Recommend-Awesome

We were very lucky to have Reverend Ron officiate our wedding. He is a great speaker and seems extremely comfortable talking to large crowds. He is also very flexible. We added a lot of Filipino traditional elements, and he did them all and made it seem like he had been doing it for years. He will meet with you over zoom, get to know you a little, and then meet again to go over a draft of the speech. You can be as involved in what is said as you want to be.

Reverend Ron Davis: A Genuine Touch to Our Ceremony

When planning our wedding, we sought someone who could make our ceremony feel intimate, personal, and genuine. Reverend Ron exceeded those expectations. His involvement truly made the day special, and his genuine touch was felt by everyone.

His coordination with our singers and string quartet was impressive. Instead of feeling like separate elements, Reverend Ron helped meld the music and his words together, creating a cohesive and heartfelt experience that resonated with all our guests.

Reverend Ron didn't just go through the motions. He took the time to understand our story, sharing it with our guests in a way that was both meaningful and relatable. The feedback we received from friends and family was a testament to this, with many deeply moved commenting on the warmth and sincerity of his words.

We were also touched by Reverend Ron's dedication to his role as an officiant/reverend. He was always open to meet and took the time to build a relationship with us. He also helped add structure and gravity to our ceremony by offering useful perspectives/opinions. An example of this was his emphasis on sharing the traditional vows in addition to personal vows as they were deeply meaningful and timeless.

In short, Reverend Ron Davis was an invaluable part of our wedding day. He provided a sincere, heartfelt touch that left a lasting impression on us and our guests. For any couple seeking an officiant who brings authenticity and genuine warmth to their ceremony, we wholeheartedly recommend Reverend Davis.
