  Best Officiant Ever!

  We hired Richard to officiate our wedding last month, he did a terrific job at everything, let my little sister give a second prayer which was so special, and was quick! (everyone loved this part). We met him at a coffee shop before hiring him and got to know him better and were so happy with our decision. We are now friends and couldn't recommend him more!

  So kind! Wonderful!

  It was so nice to meet and have Mr.Richard Hudson officiate our wedding! He was pleasant, kind, and friendly! We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. My husband and I both would 100% recommend him!!

  Richard was wonderful as our officiant

  Richard was wonderful as our officiant. Would highly recommend. He is very responsive to email and is open to revising his standard script and including your own vows. Met him for coffee, went over the script and that was that. We knew we wanted to hire him. Easy peasy! He reached out several weeks before the wedding to make sure everything was ready to go. He is very experienced, friendly and helped make the ceremony stress-free. He is wonderful!

  Went above and beyond

  Richard did such a fantastic job officiating our wedding! Our guests commented how they loved his speaking voice. Richard even met us for coffee before the ceremony to go over everything. He was always in responsive and professional through the entire process. I could not recommend him enough.

  Perfect officiant for our small ceremony

  My husband and I recently got married and used JLK weddings elopement package. She immediately suggested Richard as her go to officiant. Working with Richard was wonderful and stress free. He has a standard script for a short ceremony that he reviews with the couple an any edits requested are made. He’s so professional and keeps the ceremony flowing perfectly and easy for the couple to just enjoy the moment while reciting vows and exchanging rings. I highly recommend Richard.

  Reliable and stressfree

  Richard did everything he said he was going to do and was good at following up to ensure everything went as planned. His script is adjustable and he will also add in other stuff to it. We highly recommend.

  Richard was great!

  Richard was a great addition to our wedding vendors. He did everything an officiant needed to do. He texted me a week before the wedding to confirm all details and told me when he would arrive. Though this is a small detail, it put me at ease, and i knew I had nothing to worry about the day of my wedding.

  A very nice man!

  Richard makes sure to run the script by you multiple times to make sure you are okay with everything. We had a very short and sweet ceremony which was just what we wanted. No sermon trying to preach about marriage and religious beliefs. Just a bible verse and some common knowledge about things that make a marriage last. Would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiate!

  Simply the Best!

  Richard was such a phenomenal officiant for our wedding! He made sure that our ceremony fit our personal preferences, which was wonderful. He was always very responsive any time we reached out to him to ask a question or request a change. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing an officiant for their wedding ❤

  PERFECT officiant

  We had a fantastic experience with Richard. He was flexible and answered every question I could think of! He let us have full control of what the ceremony would consist of (which I loved). We have had so many compliments on our ceremony. Richard is so friendly and interacted with our family and guests. Many of our family members came up to us afterwards and were so impressed how engaging he was! Overall perfect experience!

  Absolutely perfect

  We were thrilled that Richard was available to officiate at our December 28 at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. From our first meeting with him at a local coffee shop to happily hugging him after the ceremony, our experience with him was calm and reassuring. He is caring, thoughtful, kind, and helpful. He's also an excellent listener, and we found it easy to work with him as we developed our own unique ceremony and vows. As a result and in retrospect, we loved our intimate ceremony and its meaning to us and our families and friends, and we would not have changed one single thing about it. It was absolutely perfect.

  Richard Hudson

  Richard was fantastic! Like probably a lot of people, my fiance and I didn't have anyone picked out to be our officiant for our wedding and we really had no idea where to find someone! A Google search lead me to Wedding Wire and that's where I found Richard. It's nerve wracking to say the least to just pick someone at random to speak during the most important moment of your life! But I had a good feeling about him, so we met up and knew he was the one! He was incredibly sweet and thoughtful and really wanted to make sure our wedding ceremony was exactly what we wanted. I actually found the ceremony script I wanted and he had no issue with using mine instead of his. He was super flexible, very prompt, and did a great job during the ceremony. No stand up comedy attempts, no attempts to steal the spotlight or put on a show, just a simple and to the point ceremony - just like we wanted. He even sent us a sweet gift, which was just above and beyond! If you're nervous about booking a wedding officiant online, have no fear, Richard will do great!!

  Fantastic Experience

  Richard was a fantastic officiant. He had a wonderfully simple and non-denominational sermon and was open to any and all input from the bride and groom. I highly recommend Richard to any couple!

  Richard was absolutely amazing when it came to officiating our wedding. He met with us beforehand so that we could get to know each other a little bit more, was very responsive to texts and when it came to the big day he was on time and ready to go. He is absolutely wonderful to work with, I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to officiate their wedding.

  Came through for us when we were in a bind!

  When our officiant couldn't do do our wedding, Richard Hudson was there for us on our big day, even with only a few days notice. And he did such an amazing job!
