Perfect!!!

Highly highly recommend! We had David Tropea, and he knocked it out of the park! He was super receptive to our wishes (no prayer/religion) and wrote an absolutely beautiful ceremony. We had 2-3 phone meetings with him, and it's clear he really TRULY cares about understanding who we are and getting to know us. He sent us the ceremony script and asked if any changes should be made, and we loved it and didn't want to make a single change!! He had our guests laughing and smiling, and it was indeed short & sweet, but also so tasteful and PERFECT!!

It was perfect

Gary was absolutely great to have officiate our wedding. We were sold on his personality and fit-to-your wants and needs ceremony speech. He made it fun and stress free. He was also a great guide in making the ceremony personal and special for me and my wife. It was great to have Gary be the one to marry us at our wedding!

Gary was a hit. We had multiple guests come up to us after the ceremony to commend his style and delivery. He is also very sweet and professional.
