What equipment are you able to bring?

-I use only the best brand sound equipment; Yamaha, Behringer, Sennheiser and Shure. -I have two professional sound systems, the larger one requires a power point and the smaller one can be operated by battery - both are very powerful-I have a headset microphone and wireless handheld microphones for vows, reading etc-Yes, you can use my sound system to play your music, I can operate this myself or a friend/family member of yours can-Also I can provide a signing table on request

-First, email or call me to discuss your wedding, you'll need to let me know the location and date you plan on having your ceremony so I can confirm if I'm available.-Then, we meet in person (when possible) or via Skype if you are interstate/overseas so you can get to know me and I can get to know you both.

When do you arrive at the ceremony?

-I arrive at the ceremony 1 hour before the start time. This ensures I have enough time to park, find the location, set up my equipment and do a sound check.

When is payment required?

-If I'm the one you want to marry you i'll send you an invoice for the deposit which is $100 this will confirm your date/time.-Full payment is required at least 7 days prior to the ceremony.

What is your cancellation policy?

-I understand sometimes plans change, a full copy of my terms and conditions is supplied during the communication process.

-I will ask you the style of your event and what you'd like me to wear. I have many options available; semi-formal black suit, blue or grey lounge suit, tuxedo, dinner suit, top hat & tails, shirt & bow tie and I take special requests!

*What's not included?

-The cost of your BDM marriage certificate. You will be given your official presentation certificate on the day which is a legal document. If you would like a BDM certificate there are different style options you may like to choose, you may be going straight on a honeymoon, changing addresses or want to track the postage yourself -which make it difficult if I order it for you. Not everyone wants or needs an additional certificate but if you do a copy of the actual marriage certificate is $68 and you will need to order that from Births Deaths and Marriages.

How many weddings do you do in a day?

-Generally I only do one wedding per day, quite simply because it allows me to be fully focused on ensuring your wedding ceremony is perfect! If there's torrential rain and the ceremony is delayed by 30 minutes, I won't have to rush off anywhere.-I will only take multiple booking in a day if the locations are close to one another and the ceremony times are spread far apart, ie. a 1pm ceremony and a 6pm ceremony.

What happens if you're sick on the day?

-I have never had to cancel a ceremony nor have I ever been late. Once I am committed to your ceremony it is my priority. I am a very healthy young man but if a medical emergency caused me to be unconscious, in hospital, please rest assured I have a contingency plan in place.

OVERVIEW

If you’re wondering why you recognise David’s face, it’s probably from his multiple appearances on Married At First Sight! A popular celebrant operating across Willoughby, Sydney’s North Shore and Northern Beaches, and throughout the Southern Highlands, David is renowned for his bubbly personality and ability to interact with a crowd.

When couples meet David for the first consultation, they’re struck by how much he loves love!

Every detail was meticulously crafted, resulting in a ceremony that felt both intimate and grand.

We could not recommend Dave more, both as a marriage celebrant and our official MC. Dave was extremely professional throughout our time getting to know him before the ceremony and on the day. He always was incredibly enthusiastic and friendly and very knowledgable of the intricacies on the day which made our lives much easier. He would always make sure we had submitted the right forms, had our vows and speeches written, and that there was a good flow to the actual day that was well planned out. Dave would regularly arrange meetings with to discuss what we wanted during the ceremony and afterwards, and no ask was ever too much. He beamed positivity and every time we met with Dave our days were so much brighter! All of our guests commented on how lovely Dave was, and how he also genuinely cares and you can tell he is not just being your celebrant but he really loves his job, and this shows in every interaction with him. Honestly, Dave was absolutely wonderful and he made our wedding day the best day of our lives. Thank you so much Dave.
