How
Do You Say What Matters Most on Your Wedding Day?Hi, I'm Dave Rock and for wedding gifts and entertainment I offer a very unique service; completely personal poetry and speech creation. I am also available as a poetic celebrant - see Celebrant section of (Weddings Online). Personal poetry and speeches are the perfect way to add that depth of meaning, magic and humour to a wedding. After spending time talking with you, I transform your unique story into beautiful poetry, or a great speech. The perfect way to say what matters most, in a way that everyone will really feel it, and make the moment authentic and memorable. These words can be used in the ceremony or the afters (or the honeymoon!). I write paired poems or speeches from bride to groom and vice versa, or single poems from anyone to anyone else!I also offer live poetry shows, with on the spot spontaneous creation using all the thoughts and feelings of those gathered, which is a totally unique experience.

Jessica and Shannon Reeves
Hey Dave, just wanted to say again, working with you to co-create our ceremony was incredible. Every time we spoke to you we were brought back to the heart of why we were getting married, and the ceremony was just so beautiful and so alive. We couldn't be happier about it. It was just what we wanted. And the things our guests have said! Things like "the most beautiful forty-five minutes of my life" and "it was amazing how Dave made us all feel really a part of the ceremony" and "even if I'd never met you guys, by the end of the ceremony I would have felt I knew and loved you! Everyone was talking about it and saying they'd never been to such a special wedding before. Thank you!

Hey Dave. Just getting in touch to say thanks so much again. It was a real pleasure to go through the whole process with you. I was kinda worried that I wouldn't know what to say, or that it would be awkward. The poem took all the feelings in my heart that are so hard to express and gave them beautiful form for me to share with my fianc?. We were both moved to tears. It was amazing, thank you!

Dave, thanks again, your spontaneous spoken poetry at our wedding, using all the well wishes and blessings of our loved ones, brought the whole room to a hushed standstill. It was really spectacular, with a sense of magic in the air unlike anything else I've ever seen. I'm so glad we decided to have you as part of the day.

Thanks so much Dave. Neither of us are mad into poetry really, so we just went for it as something different, and we're so glad we did. We were both astonished and deeply moved. Captures our love how it is now, at the start of our marriage, in a way we can treasure for ever. You have a great gift for it. We'll certainly recommend you to others.

Dave, your weaving together of all of our thoughts and feelings for each other, and of all those gathered together on our anniversary, was unspeakably moving, which I guess is why we hired you! It gave a sense of beauty and depth to our time together I?d never seen in that way, and it was so nice the way it included everyone. Unforgettable.

Hey Dave, thank you so much! The poem for my fianc? was perfect. I cried reading it out to him, and he did too! I couldn't have asked for anything more than what it was. It's amazing the way you took what I shared and turned it into that incredible piece of poetry that says everything I wanted to. I'll definitely be in touch when we have our first child. Thank you.

Hi Dave, just getting in touch to say, we've been watching the video of your spoken poetry at our wedding so many times! It's just fantastic the way everyone got to share their feelings together, and you made it into something so special. I?d never really imagined something like that could be done. It was what made our wedding so special, thank you so much.
