    10 out of 5 stars! Couldn't recommend him highly enough!

    My now wife Elizabeth and I knew that we wanted our ceremony to be one of the most important parts of our wedding. We wanted it to feel sacred, connected and unique. As a same sex couple we wanted a minister who would stand wholeheartedly for our wedding and who we knew deeply cared. David was all of these things and more. He's so kind and warm right off the bat and makes you feel so comfortable during the entire process. David was so excited for our wedding and he was incredibly willing to work with us to make our ceremony what we wanted it to be. He met with us before the wedding, walked us through some ideas of a ceremony, listened to the elements we hoped for and created a ceremony that was incredibly special and that felt like us. He himself has been married for a long time, so he understands marriage and truly stands for love. My wife and I could not recommend him highly enough! Thank you David for making our ceremony beyond beautiful. You truly helped us step fully into this next phase of our love.

    Fantastic Wedding Officiant

    David was instrumental to the success and happiness of our 10-person and very intimate COVID-19 wedding in August. We knew quickly that he enjoyed working with couples who demonstrated a willingness to commit to marriage, and so he gave us full access to personalize the ceremony in whichever way made us most happy, and we certainly appreciated that! He was also very flexible during our special day; he wore a mask, respected our social distancing rules, and worked at pronunciations for our last names, which can be quite hard to get right on the first, second, or even third try! His added words during the ceremony made it even more special and showed that he cared about the message we were trying to cultivate. David’s experience as a minister influenced his ability to incorporate Christian elements into our ceremony to call back to our Catholic roots while still keeping it modern. Thank you David for your warmth, support, and flexibility during these uncertain times!

    Thank you so much, Victoria. You had a worthy sendoff for a wonderful marriage. I was honored to be a part of it!

    Best Minister in NH

    David was very welcoming and accommodating. He made the wedding feel special and put is heart into it. He wasn't running across a check list, it was personal and professional. With COVID happening he was a calming presence and always reassured us. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a little church but also modern feel.

    Intimate Wedding Ceremony

    Thank you so much David for bringing warmth as our officiant on our wedding day. Hand picking the spiritual readings and the details of our ceremony made it so special, and you were so kind, poised, and welcoming on our special day to our guests. If you’re looking for an officiant I definitely suggest David Tomkinson, he can tailor to whatever you are looking for as a couple.

    Magical Experience!

    David married one of our best friends several years ago and we fell in love with the ceremony. We knew we had to see if he was available for our big day. David was very responsive from the beginning and very excited to be a part of our wedding. He walked us through how he would conduct the wedding (initial meeting at his home office), which was very clear and concise and made us feel very confident that he knew exactly what he was doing. David came the night before our wedding to conduct the rehearsal which was very easy and made us feel comfortable about what all our roles were. The day of our wedding was so seamless - he makes you feel very at peace and calm. Our family and friends couldn't say enough about how amazing he was! Thank you David for making our ceremony magical!

    Wonderful!

    David was great! We met with him twice before the wedding to go over the parts of the ceremony. We were very pleased with our decision to have him officiate our wedding.

    David was awesome!!

    We knew from the minute we met David that we wanted him to officiate our wedding. His calm, kind personality and explanation of his services reflected everything that we wanted in a minister and we knew it was the right fit. He performed an absolutely beautiful ceremony and our friends and family were all complimenting us on it afterward. I would highly recommend Rev. David Tomkinson to anyone looking for a wedding officiant. Thank you so much David!!

    Excellent Minister

    David was excellent. He was able and willing to meet our date(s) with short notice. We wanted a traditional Christian ceremony and he accommodated us well.

    10 Stars!!!

    Hiring David to officiate our wedding was the best decision I believe my husband and I made. He was completely professional, knowledgeable, and made you feel like he has known you for years. He made time to meet with us on multiple occasions before the rehearsal & ceremony making us feel completely at ease. He even offered to do a last minute ceremony if we happened to need to do it in the hospital, as my Dad is critically ill. We loved the beautiful reading options and loved how we were able to really personalize the ceremony while also keeping it traditional. I am recommending David to anyone who is planning a wedding! Thank you for making our day so incredible perfect, God Bless.

    Heartfelt, Spiritual and Very Personal

    From the moment we met David, we knew that he was the right person to officiate our wedding. He got to know us and how we wanted a meaningful spiritual component to our celebration, and he provided wonderful guidance in advance and a wonderful ceremony on the day - very touching and personal, and blessed. Thanks David for making our day extra special.

    David did such a beautiful job with our wedding ceremony. After our first meeting with him, we knew that his services were exactly what we were looking for. His readings were the perfect combination of religious and spiritual faith. Our ceremony was outside, and there was a light mist all day that miraculously stopped right before I walked down the aisle. It could not have gone more perfectly, and all of our guests keep telling us how special it was. Thank you so much David!

    David was an absolutely wonderful wedding officiant! He was warm and truly cared about making our ceremony personalized, meaningful, and spiritual. He was very responsive in planning the ceremony leading up to the wedding, and led a wonderful rehearsal and ceremony. We received compliments all night about how unique and heartwarming our ceremony was. We highly recommend David!

    David truly made our wedding the most beautiful and magical experience of our lives. His words during our ceremony were so lovely. Every guest I talked to after said they had tears in their eyes or were crying during the ceremony because it was just so heartfelt and beautiful! David truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding ceremony was perfect for my husband and I. I can’t thank David enough for everything he did to make our special day so beautiful. I recommend him for anyone who is getting married in the Maine and New Hanpshire area! Truly the most beautiful and special ceremony. Thank you David!

    David was a wonderful wedding officiant! My husband and I were thrilled with the ceremony David designed for us! We were hoping for a personal and fun ceremony and it was everything we could have asked for and then some. We HIGHLY recommend David for his responsiveness, professionalism, and for helping make our wedding ceremony a moment we will never forget.

    David was very kind and helped to make our ceremony our own. He took the time to talk with us and get to know us. We had no idea how we wanted to build our ceremony and loved the way David set it up. He had beautiful blessings and readings to chose from, and he also allowed us to add what we wanted. Our ceremony was very special!

    David is one of the most kind individuals we have ever met. When we first met with David, we both felt so at ease with him and we knew he was the perfect person to perform our ceremony. His friendly, compassionate nature was evident during our ceremony and he even included the perfect amount of humor. So many people commented on how wonderful his ceremony delivery was. Thank you, David!!!

    It took us so long to find an officiant we felt comfortable with, and we met with sooo many people before we found Dave. I am more traditionally religious than my husband, and so we wanted to find someone who made us both comfortable. My husband and I both agree that we knew we found the right person the minute we sat down with Dave Tomkinson. He is willing to customize your ceremony, while also being so experienced that he will guide you the whole way. Our ceremony was so heartfelt even the photographer was crying, and we owe a lot of that to the warmth and sincerity David brought to the day. Highly recommend.

    David is wonderful! He is confident, compassionate, and charismatic. I could go on. Even without doing a rehearsal (our choice even though David offered) we felt totally comfortable that we were in great hands. We also liked that he sat down with us at his home office for over an hour to get to know us and talk a bit about who we are, how we met, what we want in a ceremony etc. A true professional and the embodiment of who I always pictured marrying us! :)

    My husband and I will never be able to thank David enough for his role in our wedding. I can be very particular, and David was more than happy to work with any of my requests - it was clear that all he cared about was making this the perfect experience for us. Although we lived out of state and we're only able to meet with him once in person, David made us feel as though we'd known him our whole lives, and that came across in our wedding ceremony. So many of our guests commented that the ceremony was their favorite part of the event - they all agreed that it was sentimental, endearing, and a perfect balance of religious significance and spiritual faith. He is a complete pro and knew exactly how to make us all comfortable and guide us through this nervous moment. Hands down, working with him was the best choice we made for our wedding - it made our ceremony feel truly like 'us' and set the tone for the remainder of the night. I could go on for ages... just give David a call and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.
