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

Secular & “Spiritual but not Religious” Celebrations
Many couples are looking for either a secular celebration, or spiritual ceremonies not defined by any one faith tradition.

I Do’s With David welcomes inquiries from couples seeking either of these options. Each couple leverages years of David’s Navy chaplaincy experience, decades of advanced pulpit experience, and a deep appreciation of ceremonies and liturgy to help craft the ceremony of your dreams. Couples are regularly thrilled with beautiful ceremonies that are authentic to their values and needs that will be remembered for a lifetime.
