Testimonials

Dear Pastor Bonselaar,  

It hardly seems like we have been back from the honeymoon over a month already!  We have been meaning to take some time to let you know how much we appreciate your officiating at our wedding.    Simply put, the ceremony fit perfectly to how we dreamed to begin our lives together! 

We were very impressed with how you were able to get a 'feel' for what we had in mind from the initial consultation, and how you wove that beautifully into the ring, hand, and sand ceremonies.  It was extremely meaningful for us, and many guests commented on how moved they were as well.  We also appreciate how you connected with our guests before and after the wedding, as many commented on how friendly you were!  

Thank you for all the care you took in planning our special day, and helping us to get our life together in God off to a joyful start!  Please feel free to give our information to anyone needing a reference.  

Love,

Chris & Traci Esslinger   

Pastor Dave,  

Thank you so much for officiating our wedding at Serenbe on 10/10/08!  I could not have been more pleased with everything you did for us.  You made our ceremony exactly how we wanted it- light, with a touch of humor, and quick!  I'm not sure if you know this, but you helped Matt and I relax and enjoy our ceremony, and for that I thank you, because now I can actually remember everything about it!  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and I will confidently recommend you to anyone for their wedding ceremony!  

Sincerely,

Laura and Matt Townsend 

Pastor Dave,
 

We can't explain in words how happy we were with your service.   You have a calming effect on people that was much needed for us, as we were expectedly nervous before the ceremony.  We had so many comments on the ceremony and how heart felt your words truly were.  You were very professional from our first meeting, to our rehearsal and to our ceremony.  We were blessed in finding you.     

Thanks you so much,

Mike & Lara  

Dave,

We just wanted to thank you for a great experience. You made us feel extremely comfortable and there were no awkward moments. The Spanish/English translator was great too. He was very professional and translated everything perfectly. Thank you again for being a major part of our special day.

Much Thanks,
Glen and Maria

Dave,

We want tell you how much we enjoyed the wedding.  We were so happy with how the ceremony turned out, you did such a great job.  The M&M's were very ironic because we had M&M's for favors for all the guests!  You got many, many compliments throughout the night, everyone commented on how personal it was - which was exactly what we wanted. 
We really appreciate everything. 

We really enjoyed working with you and are so pleased with how everything turned out. 

Dear Pastor Bonselaar,

Thank you so much for officiating our wedding ceremony in February. I received such wonderful comments about you from my family, bridal party, and guests you interacted with. The support, guidance, and encouragement you gave to Chris & me in the days prior to the ceremony were wonderful. Our ceremony was truly a celebration of love, family, and faith. Especially, how you really went out of your way to make the day special and to include my children. Even with mishaps, namely the falling arch from our rouge ring bearer, you never missed a beat and continued with the ceremony as if nothing had occurred. You are absolutely fabulous and may God bless you and your family.

“We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for officiating such a wonderful wedding ceremony. Looking back we realize that this was not an easy ceremony to take on. We offered you little time in preparation yet the ceremony captured the true essence of Simone and myself.

Many of our guests thought you were our family pastor. We were very touched by that and did not clue anyone in that we had to prepare for this via correspondence.

Additionally, we were amazed that you survived the chaos and confusion of orchestrating a rehearsal with two families from two separate continents. You most graciously calmed our nerves and helped us pull it all together. Your calm sense of direction made us all at ease. And by the way, I wondered if you spoke Portuguese? We threw in a couple of last minute touches for our Brazilian guests and you mastered that like a real pro!

We will forever have fond memories of our beautiful day.”
