About

   Hello! I'm Rev. Ray Van Winkle, a non-denominational wedding officiant serving the greater Puget Sound area.

   In a non-denominational service, you're not locked into any one style or type of ceremony. This gives you the freedom to have a ceremony that will reflect who you are as a couple and what your marriage means to you. Don't let anyone tell you what you "have" to do! Your ceremony can be as religious or secular, serious or light-hearted as you want it to be!

   I do not offer different "wedding packages" or plans. All ceremonies are $250 (a small travel fee applies outside of King/Snohomish county), and include the rehearsal, as well as unlimited phone or e-mail follow-ups, and a copy of my ceremony book containing enough material to create literally thousands of unique ceremonies.

   After our initial consultation (no charge or obligation, of course!), a $50 non-refundable deposit secures your date. I look forward to meeting with you, and would be honored to be a part of your very special day!

Jenny GG Photography
 Ray is simply a great guy to work with - he always greets everyone with energy and warmth - I love knowing that he's the officiant at weddings that I'm photographing. He knows what he's doing and is comforting to the most nervous of couples. He's wonderful.

Tony Schwartz Weddings
 Rev. Ray Van Winkle is one of my favorite wedding officate's in the area. A nice guy, he works great not only with the clients, but also with the vendors and venue to make sure everyone is on the same page. With a great voice and a friendly face, he puts that little personalized touch in your wedding vows - no cookie cutter script here! I have worked with Ray a bit now, and I can assure you - he is early to the reception, he doesn't cut it short if it's hot or he has another one to attend to, he plans and coordinates well, and he doesn't butcher names! If you are considering using Ray - consider this endorsement the one that says - "use him!"
