Acorn 2 Oak Ceremonies

We could not recommend David enough! He enabled us to have the most perfect day with our service being held by the river. We spoke to David a couple of months before the event for him to get to know us better so that the service was tailored to us and on the day everything was just perfect.

It was exactly what we wanted, a laid back and personal service that was fun and relaxed! If we could give more than 5 stars we would!

David is a fantastic celebrant and made our wedding day feel really special. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and at ease both in the run up and on the big day. He was really patient with us when we didn't know what we wanted for our ceremony, and helped us to find our individual style. His communication and payment system is really clear and efficient. The presentation of our wedding certificate, handfasting ropes and his gift to us are beautiful keepsakes we will always treasure. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

David performed our wedding ceremony at the end of November 2021 and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other couples. He was very professional during every step of the process, and in the chaos of wedding planning, we knew that the ceremony side of things was completely under control. We had wonderful correspondence over Zoom which resulted in a really personal and heartfelt ceremony. On the day, David dug his car out of the snow to make it to us during Storm Arwen! He talks to all your guests before and after the ceremony whilst you and your partner are busy with other bits and our family and friends had wonderful things to say about him.

We're back from our mini-moon and unfortunately settled back into working life now!

I just wanted to reach out and say a massive thank you for being the celebrant on our wedding day.

I cannot tell you the amount of people who said it was the best ceremony they'd witnessed - it was so personal, fun and a bit different which is exactly what we wanted. Our guests said they loved the story of how we met, how I 'bombed' the ring and the way that we had described each other to you. Some of our guests weren't aware of our full story so felt they had learned more about us during the ceremony.

You specifically were amazing, you really put everyone including me and Jack at ease and we genuinely both had a really great time during the ceremony. You were a really confident and friendly speaker and had great control of the room. The ceremony was really fun and light, and didn't feel stuffy which often legal ceremonies can feel like. It really set the tone for the rest of the day which was great. We loved every second and are disappointed we can't do it every year! We absolutely feel like the ceremony you did for us was our 'real' wedding and our legal ceremony last year was just a formality.

The hand-tying was our favourite bit which is interesting considering I was a bit sceptical at first. It really made our ceremony stand out as different and special. Two of our guests are engaged and have now said they want to do a hand-tying as well because they're non-religious and absolutely loved the symbolism of it. I have said I will pass on your details to them when they get round to setting a date 🙂

Thank you so much again, it genuinely was the best day of our lives and your work as a celebrant definitely contributed hugely towards that. We loved the whole process and it was nice feeling like we already knew you well once it came to the day as we'd had spoken at length in the weeks beforehand. When we got legally married last year, we met the registrar about five minutes before the ceremony started so it wasn't anywhere near as personal or special.

I am very happy to recommend David. He was so professional, sensitive to our needs and knowledgeable. He helped us with reading and music choices as well as writing some beautiful and fitting words. He clearly has strong public speaking skills. I don't feel that I could have made a better choice of celebrant
