Meet Dave!

 
 

If you love palm trees, wakeboards, and connecting with people, you’ll love Dave! Married for 30 years to his wife, Nicole, Dave celebrates 28 wonderfully happy years together (and admits there were a few rocky ones, but they’ve emerged stronger and more in love than ever). Proud dad to two grown children, Dakoda (27) and Skylar (25), Dave cherishes seeing his family grow as his kids embark on their own journeys.

Dave’s roots stretch from Calgary to Edmonton, with nine memorable years spent living in Chicago while working for a major organization. Now settled in beautiful Kelowna, Dave blends his life experiences with his passion for helping others create unforgettable moments.

Why does Dave love officiating weddings?
"A wedding is one of life’s greatest milestones—a beautiful blend of two people’s love, their journeys, and the support of friends and family. It’s full of emotions, celebrations, and yes, some challenges. Guiding couples through this meaningful moment and helping make their day truly unforgettable is one of my greatest joys."

Testimonials
We had the pleasure of working with Dave from VO. He was personable and professional throughout the whole process. Having a few meetings with Dave beforehand made it that much more personable which is what we wanted for our intimate ceremony. My friends thought Dave was a family member- it doesn’t get more personal than that!

Thanks so much Dave!!

We had the most amazing experience with Vancouver Officiant. They responded quickly with super helpful information that made our experience easy and painless. We worked closely with Dave for our ceremony and he CRUSHED it. Dave took the time to get to know us as a couple and ensured that our ceremony was authentic to us. We got SO many compliments about Dave post ceremony - I would recommend him to anyone getting married!!

Dave took the time to get to know us and made our ceremony fit our vibe perfectly. We wanted to keep it light hearted and sweet but without being too cheesy and that’s exactly what we got. Our guests enjoyed everything, there were tears and there was laughter.
