CELEBRATING RITES OF PASSAGE

Rev Dr David William Parry (pronouns: he/him/his) is a highly experienced Clergy Celebrant of St Valentine's Hall founded in South London, UK, as an Independent Catholic Sanctuary of Love and Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) Oasis. David provides truly bespoke ceremonies to discerning couples in a warm, friendly and professional environment while helping them feel supported and giving them complete peace of mind before and after the event.

​

David’s presence and energy are infectious. He’s a game changer who exudes courage and enthusiasm during rites of passage. It’s evident through his commitment to this work that David is convinced spiritual connections are achievable for everyone and he is doing everything he can to make this possible and accessible.

​

David is a consecrated and ordained Valentinian Gnostic Tau and Independent Catholic Archbishop and has served in leadership positions in a number of denominations, including Metropolitan Community Church, and General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches since the 1990s, whereas he was additionally set aside as a Heathen goði by Freya Aswynn in 2012.

​

Overall, his role is to assist you in experiencing a significant, enjoyable and valuable day. Together we will create heartfelt words and ceremonies that reflect what your requirements.

​

PS: If you have the slightest interest in having David perform your ceremony, you are encouraged to check availability. He is usually booked 5 to 6 months in advance, with a few open dates in between, while weekday weddings are generally easier to schedule at shorter notice.
