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! David considers it an honour to be chosen as your celebrant and get the ball rolling for your lives together. He will walk you through the whole process to ensure you completely understand what you need to do and explain the legal side of registering a marriage.

“Dave was with us every step of the way. He was clear with his communication, and ensured we were comfortable with all the processes and paperwork involved. He took an effort to get to know us as a couple, and our guests felt that come through with his personal approach to our wedding. We wanted to have a stress-free wedding, and Dave really helped that vision come to life. He has an easy going attitude and hilarious personality, which only helped enhance our experience leading up to the wedding and of course, on the special day itself. Pick Dave if you want to feel relaxed, calm and confident with the most important elements of your wedding!” Mitch J

In the lead-up to your wedding, David will calm your nerves and make sure all the documentation is in order. He encourages couples to have a rehearsal with all the key players for their wedding to help them envision the event as a whole and let everybody know what they need to do and when. On the day, David will actively engage with your guests, welcoming them to your venue as you and your partner prepare.

His deeply personal (and very humorous) ceremonies are known to tug on the heartstrings, usually resulting in every guest having a tear and a giggle (often simultaneously!). Using personal anecdotes, inside jokes, and a natural trait for storytelling, David will make your wedding ceremony everything you both imagined and more.

From the very first moment we met Dave, we knew we were in exceptional hands. He is nothing short of extraordinary, and our wedding was a testament to his incredible talent and passion for his work in bringing people together. Dave has an uncanny ability to blend professionalism with a deeply personal touch. He took the time to understand our love story, our values, and our vision for the big day. Our special day had a theme, a little left of centre, and Dave embraced it and did whatever it took to not only meet our expectations, but absolutely blow them out of the water. Every detail was meticulously crafted, resulting in a ceremony that felt both intimate and grand. His dedication in getting to know us made our vows feel deeply personal and truly reflective of who we are as a couple. One of Dave’s standout qualities is his knack for storytelling. He has a unique gift for weaving heartfelt narratives into the ceremony, capturing the essence of our relationship in a way that left everyone, including us, teary-eyed, full of joy, and for that moment in time, believing in the magic of true love. His words resonated with everyone present, creating a warm and emotional atmosphere that made the day unforgettable. On the day of the wedding, Dave was a beacon of calm and joy. He handled every aspect of the ceremony with such ease and elegance that it felt as though everything was unfolding exactly as it was meant to be. His attention to detail and smooth coordination ensured that the ceremony flowed seamlessly, really putting us at ease and allowing us to focus on celebrating our love. What truly set Dave apart was his role as master of ceremonies. His exceptional ability to keep the event flowing smoothly, with just the right balance of formality and warmth, ensured that everything unfolded perfectly. He coordinated seamlessly with vendors, managed the timing of events with precision, even if we got off track, and brought an effortless charm to every announcement and transition. His presence as MC was a highlight of the day, creating a fun and enjoyable experience for all our guests. In every interaction, Dave was a true professional, yet he also managed to make us feel like old friends. His genuine enthusiasm for our marriage was infectious, and his ability to create a bespoke ceremony that felt uniquely ours was nothing short of magical. We have received countless compliments from our guests, all echoing the same sentiment: it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they’ve ever witnessed. If you’re looking for a marriage celebrant who combines warmth, creativity, fun, laughter and love, combined with impeccable professionalism, look no further than David Lang. He turned our wedding into a fairytale dream come true, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his incredible work. We wholeheartedly recommend Dave to anyone seeking to make their special day truly unforgettable.

Dave was absolutely exceptional as our wedding celebrant, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a truly personalized and engaging ceremony. From our very first Zoom meeting, it was clear that Dave was the celebrant we were looking for. His vibrant personality, warm sense of humor, and genuine care for our wishes made him stand out. He crafted a tailor-made script woven our personal story by sending us a list of questions which we provided answers. Dave took the time to meet with us in person to walk through the entire ceremony few days before. He made us feel more at ease. On the day of the wedding, despite unexpected strong winds at the lawn, Dave handled everything flawlessly. He not only maintained a joyful atmosphere throughout, but also managed to secure the floral plinth under the strong wind, as he said like “Captain America” Our guests were impressed, commenting on how professional and polished Dave was, while also being as personable and welcoming as a dear friend. He truly made our special day feel even more memorable.

If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, reliable and down-right awesome celebrant, look no further than Dave Lang! We married on our private property in a garden-style ceremony, surrounded by our nearest and dearest, and Dave was the perfect piece that tied it all together. We met Dave via zoom several times in the lead up to the wedding. We got along really well, and were assured during all the planning! He made the planning part so easy on our end, too! On our wedding day, it felt like we’d known Dave for years. His calm demeanour and professionalism made us feel right at home. Rain, hail, or shine (yes, Dave even braved the rain for us), Dave’s passion for love and marriage shines through and he will make sure everything runs smoothly. THANKS DAVE!

The ceremony was heartfelt, beautifully tailored to our love story, and full of special touches that reflected us perfectly. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how unique and touching it was!

We had the absolute pleasure of having David Lang as both the celebrant and MC at our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with his incredible service. From start to finish, David was kind, helpful, funny, and incredibly friendly. His relaxed and calming presence put everyone at ease, making the day feel even more special. David's dedication and professionalism were truly outstanding. He was always there to help, and his relatable, down-to-earth approach made every aspect of our ceremony and reception run smoothly. When a sudden downpour interrupted our ceremony, David’s flexibility and quick thinking ensured everything continued seamlessly. He approached the situation with such grace and humour that it became a cherished memory rather than a disruption. Rohan and I are so grateful for David's tireless efforts to make our day extremely special. If you’re looking for someone who will bring warmth, joy, and an unflappable demeanour to your special day, we wholeheartedly recommend David Lang!
