About

As a non-denominational Christian minister I have had the honor of marrying loving couples throughout the Southern California area for more than 20 years. Although Christian in faith, I understand that everyone comes from different backgrounds and different faiths. Because of this I officiate weddings in all styles, religious or non-religious. Whatever your faith we can work together to find you the perfect ceremony.

In 2005 I graduated from San Diego State University with a BA in Sociology with an emphasis in marriage and family counseling. I also have an extensive financial advising/planning background and used this in the ministry as a financial coach and counselor at one of the largest churches in Southern California.

My wife and I settled in Temecula in 2009 and we absolutely love it here! In our free time we like to explore the local wine country, take in a great minor league baseball game with the Lake Elsinore Storm, and spend lots of quality time with our amazing pooch Harlow. Harlow and I can be seen running together frequently on the roads near wine country.

Highly Recommended Officiant

My husband and I were looking for an officiant to perform our elopement ceremony, and we found David. His reviews were impeccable, and no matter where we searched for him, all we found were raving reviews! My husband and I both agreed that we must contact him. From the beginning, he was friendly and responsive. He suggested a Skype meeting so that he could get to know us a little bit and tailor our ceremony using relevant information about us, rather than a standard generic one (unless you want generic- he can do that too). The meeting was very productive. We discussed details that were important to us, and when we asked him for location suggestions, he gave us one that was perfect! Because of the pandemic situation, we wanted a brief ceremony, and he was very respectful of our wishes. It was perfect! David wore a mask the entire time, and stood at a safe distance from everyone. He used a microphone so that everyone can hear him, and he pinned one on my husband's suit lapel so that they can hear us as well. We also wanted to integrate a "lasso," which is a Mexican wedding tradition. I thought I'd have to explain it, but he knew EXACTLY what to do (as I did not)! David is super detail oriented. I was very touched when he wore a tie to match our color (lilac), which was my mom's favorite. Additionally, David gave us suggestions with the writing of our vows, and during the ceremony, he gave us the vows on some beautiful lilac colored stationery! Another great thing about David is that he performs both secular and religious ceremonies- your choice! David went ABOVE and BEYOND what was asked and agreed upon. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND David Cutler to ease your mind on your most special day, and perform your ceremony!

Amazing officiant

When our officiant backed out at the last minute, we met with four different ones to find one and David stood out to us immediately! He was funny, personable, and kind. In lieu of completing a questionnaire, we had a second Zoom meeting with him in which he asked us questions, took notes, and got to know us both individually and as a couple. He also came to our rehearsal and was EXTREMELY HELPFUL in making sure we knew what to do when so that our ceremony went smoothly. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking - thank you David!!

The Best Ceremony Ever!

It really was a perfect ceremony! David went above and beyond to make our ceremony one to remember, and to make the process of getting married as easy as possible. He helped us understand what paperwork to fill out to obtain our marriage license and even took care of sending it off after our ceremony. After our wedding we had SO many guests come up and tell us what an amazing ceremony it was. We chose to do a non-religious ceremony, and David did a great job of talking about our history and our strengths as a couple. Guests kept asking how we knew David and were amazed to hear we didn’t know him personally. He truly loves what he does and was a joy to work with. We were nervous about writing our own vows, but David convinced us to and now we’re so glad we did! You will not be disappointed if you choose David as your wedding officiant!
