Our Story
Welcome to I Do’s With David! I’m David Greenspoon and founded I Do’s With David to serve couples who are secular or “spiritual but not religious” and seeking a customized, beautiful wedding ceremony filled with warmth, compassion, and just a touch of humor. I Do’s With David delivers deep interpersonal and pastoral skills, a refined appreciation for crafting beautiful and meaningful life-cycle ceremonies, and extensive experience officiating at life cycle events. Every couple will find a welcoming experience with I Do’s With David. We respect the human dignity of all our clients and treat everyone with respect and courtesy.
I Do’s With David is a US Navy veteran-owned, LGBTQ+ friendly, non-religious wedding officiant service based in Washington, D.C. and the larger DMV area, but travels nearly anywhere! Before founding I Do’s With David’s parent company, I spent a 25+ year career working as a member of the clergy, primarily serving in congregations. That service also included 7 years as a Navy Reserve Chaplain, beyond the 4 years I served during my enlistment before college.
Officiant Services
Many couples are looking for either a secular celebration, or spiritual ceremonies not defined by any one faith tradition. Couples are regularly thrilled with beautiful ceremonies that are authentic to their values and needs that will be remembered for a lifetime.
I Do’s With David is delighted to be in partnership with some of the DC Wine Country’s best vendors for unique elopement and micro-wedding packages. Elope Loudoun, “the only stop you need to a gorgeous and stress-free elopement.”

“David is an awesome wedding officiant, and we were so happy he was a part of our special day. We knew we wanted a fun and memorable ceremony, but had trouble coming up with ideas of our own. David was easy to talk with, and during our scheduled meetings, gave us a few ideas that we loved and incorporated into the ceremony. We also really appreciated that David took the initiative in reaching out to our DJ and Wedding Planner to make sure he had everything he needed the day of. It took some stress off of us leading up to and the day of the wedding. The day-of went all according to plan, David led a beautiful ceremony with no issues or hiccups. He hilariously incorporated our cat into the ceremony per our request, and many of our guests praised the ceremony throughout the night. I would absolutely recommend David to anymore searching for a wedding officiant! Thank you, David!”
