Amazing celebrant - first class service
We cannot recommend David at Acorn2Oak Ceremonies highly enough. From our very first conversation, David made the entire process feel easy, calm, and genuinely enjoyable. He guided us through everything with such warmth and professionalism, taking away any stress and making us feel completely at ease.
David clearly cares deeply about the couples he works with. He took the time to get to know us and our story, and that care came through beautifully in the ceremony. One of the most special touches was his effort to speak in different languages during the ceremony, which meant so much to us and our families and made the moment feel even more personal and inclusive.
So many of our guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was, with particular praise for how thoughtful, meaningful, and heartfelt David’s words were. It was clear to everyone that this was not a generic service, but something carefully crafted just for us.
David’s kindness, attention to detail, and genuine passion for what he does made our wedding day even more memorable. He is a really special celebrant and we are so grateful we chose him. We cannot recommend him enoughAcorn 2 Oak Ceremonies's reply:

Excellent Supplier
David absolutely helped to make our day special and we would thoroughly recommend using him. On the day of the wedding he was really helpful and couldn't have done more to help make us feel at ease. -

Kaywood wedding - 31/10/2025
We cannot recommend David Willis of Acorn 2 Oak Ceremonies highly enough. From our very first consultation, David immediately put both me and my wife at ease. He was warm, approachable, and genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple, which made the whole process feel relaxed and enjoyable from the start.
David took the time to gather personalised details about our story, our values, and what mattered most to us, and he used these beautifully within the ceremony. He made it clear that the ceremony was ours and gave us complete freedom to personalise it so it felt right for us as Mr and Mrs Kaywood. His guidance was invaluable, and throughout the entire process he was calm, reassuring, and incredibly helpful.
On the day itself, 31st October 2025, David was absolutely fantastic. He conducted the ceremony flawlessly, with warmth, confidence, and the perfect balance of professionalism, emotion and humour—keeping things heartfelt without ever feeling heavy, and light-hearted without taking away from the importance of the moment. He truly helped make our wedding day feel special, meaningful, and memorable, not just for us but for everyone attending.
If you are looking for a celebrant who is caring, organised, and genuinely passionate about what he does, David is the perfect choice. We are so grateful to him for making our day exactly what we hoped it would beAcorn 2 Oak Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you Paddy. It was great getting to know you & Abbey and officiating at your wedding at Kenwood Hall Hotel. The setting for your ceremony by the lake was perfect. A joyful & special day. Thank you for choosing me as your wedding celebrant. -

Excellent!
My husband and I opted for a fairly small ceremony at Chester Town Hall for our wedding, and wanted to find a celebrant who could provide a personalised and well-written service with just enough humour, warmth and 'seriousness' - David ticked all our boxes! Warm, professional and attentive, David offered lots of options for us to choose from for our wedding ceremony, resulting in a fabulous occasion which felt just right for us.
David is communicative and calm which are both vital attributes whilst planning a wedding...! We were kept in the loop throughout the planning period, and any questions were answered quickly and thoroughly.
We'd very highly recommend Acorn 2 Oak ceremonies!Acorn 2 Oak Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you Holly for your wonderful recommendation. I loved officiating your ceremony at Chester Town Hall, it was such an amazing venue. Co-creating & delivering your ceremony with you & Simon was great fun.. Such a brilliant love story & an awesome day. Thank you for choosing me! -

David is a fantastic celebrant!
David is a fantastic celebrant! We couldn’t recommend him more highly. From the beginning David was warm, professional and listened to what we wanted. He got to know us and made our wedding ceremony very fun and personal. Many of our guests came up to us and said how much they enjoyed the ceremony and our wedding pianist (who we hired separately) said David was the best celebrant he had ever seen (and he’s seen a lot!). David also went the extra mile on the day to help organise guests and make sure everyone knew what they were doing e.g. the best man, ring bearer and our friend who did a reading. Book David for your special day, you wont regret it! -

Simply perfect!
David is a genuine personable guy. We wanted our celebrant to be someone our children could also feel relaxed with and David ensured just that, meeting them at their level and including them as much as we wanted in the ceremony. David's guidance through the vows was really clear and it helped us to create vows that were really true to our love story. David provided mass materials to help us and created beautiful crib sheets for our big day which we can treasure forever. He considered every minute detail to ensure it all ran smoothly and it never felt overwhelming both in the planning and the delivery. We couldn't thank him enough.Acorn 2 Oak Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you so much Hannah and Mark for your wonderful testimonial and review. It was an honour to work with you and your family in creating and delivering your heartfelt wedding ceremony. You were both brilliant as were the girls whose performances in the ceremony were excellent, they really did you proud; happy memories to treasure always. Thank you again for choosing me to be your wedding celebrant. -

Perfectly curated ceremony
David's ceremony captured our relationship and story so far perfectly. We wanted a celebrant who had conviction and presence without being too theatrical or corny and David certainly accomplished this. He made us feel at total ease during the planning process and was professional and courteous throughout. He even dealt with an intruding hornet halfway through the ceremony with such effect the whole congregation gave him a round of applause! We would recommend David to anyone who wants a ceremony with authenticity, laid back vibes and lots of personal touches.Acorn 2 Oak Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you so much Becky and Callum for your lovely and kind words. It was amazing working with you and I loved officiating your ceremony, your vows to each other were so beautiful. The hornet certainly made your ceremony even more unique and memorable! Thank you again for choosing me to be your celebrant. -

Exactly what we wanted!
David took the time to know us, understand the kind of people we are and type of ceremony we wanted. He was very careful to make any wording changes exact to our request and delivered the ceremony without fault. His style was warm and relaxed while still commanding the attention of the "room" which in our case was a field!
We had comments from our guests that he was the best wedding celebrant they had seen and pitched our ceremony just right for us.
Communications were straightforward and timely. We felt well supported all the way through. Would highly recommend David.Acorn 2 Oak Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you Charlotte and Jamie for your wonderfully kind words. I loved getting to know you both (your dogs and horses too) and delivering your fun and memorable ceremony at the farm. Officiating a wedding underneath a tractor bucket arch was definitely a first for me & I loved it. Thank you for choosing me to be your wedding celebrant. -
