Dave Octave Celebrant Full Description
I became a Celebrant because I wanted to bring together my experiences, my love of people and the expression of their love and a little bit of my ‘showman’ side. Am I a little bit of a show-off? Possibly, but I am passionate about creating a celebratory experience that leaves YOU in the spotlight. I’m excited to get to know you, learn all about your funny, romantic, heart-warming or downright bonkers story and create the day of your dreams.
Whether a wedding, vow renewal, naming ceremony, celebration of life or any other celebration you have in mind, I will compose and deliver a personalised ceremony detailing a story and a journey that is unique to you.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
What is your most memorable wedding?
Too many to list but they include a beautiful ceremony where the couple and their five children took part in a beautiful sand ceremony, a ceremony where the couple had original met 40 years before, lost contact and then found each other in later life. There was also the ceremony that was nothing short of a full on party and how can I forget the weddings I have been part of for E4's Married At First Sight.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Professional, engaging, fun, heartfelt, stylish
What about your business are you most proud of?
The fact that it has such a fundamental and memorable impact of others
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Make sure you do it your way. To make it truly magical you need to be at the heart of everything you do. When that happens, even if the choice may appear a little 'left-field', you guest will know that the whole occasion is uniquely you. One of my favourite personal touches was when my bride and groom choose to have their friends and family sing along to 80s Soul Weekender classics rather than standard hymns!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Following the initial conversation, I love to get to know about my couples, their story, their likes, their pet peeves and anything else that helps create a perfectly personalised reflection of who they are.
How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?
Confidence! When you are confident in those around you even the most important events are better managed.
What do you love most about your job?
Consider others but remember this is YOUR day!
What is your favourite moment at a wedding?
The moment the couple are announced. All those nerves finally disappear and the space is always filled with so much happiness.
