About Us: Rev. Dave & Sophia Hunter
Who we are
We are Rev. Dave and Sophia Hunter, a couple committed to making your wedding day as wonderful as possible. We have conducted hundreds of wedding ceremonies at many locations and at our own private Chapel on our property over the past many years. We have personally built the Chapel to provide a special location for your special day. Drawing upon the experiences of conducting wedding ceremonies throughout the valley, we have tried to choose the best that each location had to offer and include it in our Chapel.
From intimate home garden wedding ceremonies we have created wonderful gardens and ceremonial deck for those outdoor marriage ceremonies. Also from the many fine venues throughout the valley we have created a beautifully decorated Chapel room seasonally decorated for those intimate indoor marriage ceremonies. Yet we have kept it to be unique in the whole valley. We would love to care for you at our home anytime you would like.

Rev. Dave has his own ministry called The Stable Ministries associated with the Canadian Evangelical Christian Churches denomination. He provides not only a ministry for couples without a church to be married but a ministry for couples who wish to Baptize their children. For divorced Catholics Rev. Dave has a great empathy for them due to their feeling of being excluded, he would be honoured to conduct your ceremony holding to your traditions. See our section on remarriage for Catholic Couples. In the future he will be expanding his ministry.
