    Pastor Rich is the REAL DEAL!

    My now husband and I were looking for an officiant that could deliver an authentic, non-religious, and bilingual ceremony for our October wedding and we are so grateful and blessed to have found Pastor Rich! He is so kind-hearted and patient, and really works with you to craft a personalized ceremony that truly encapsulates your entire love story. When we met with him in-person, he took the time to ask questions about how we met, our relationship, and any other details pertinent to our story, and he incorporated all of these details into the ceremony - I could not have asked for a more perfect delivery of the ceremony. It was so authentic, romantic, light-hearted, and special. I loved his finishing touches of his advice for us, pulling from his own experience and relationship with his wife. Even 1 of my bridesmaids - who introduced me to my husband - got a shout out in the ceremony and I loved it! We received so many compliments from our friends and family about Pastor Rich and he truly knocked it out of the park with everything we asked for. Thank you Pastor Rich for delivering the most memorable ceremony for us.

    Pastor Rich was FANTASTIC! He made our wedding ceremony so special. His wedding speech before marrying us was the perfect balance of humor & heartwarming. We received many compliments from our family & friends about him. Highly recommend!

    A wonderful officiant!

    Pastor Rich is a true professional that will make your wedding ceremony personal & special. We also had to follow up with him after the ceremony, as our wedding license was lost in the court system. He responded promptly.

    Pastor Rich is an absolute gem! We can’t thank him enough. We gave him short notice for our wedding and he still was nothing but kind. He was a pleasure to work with and made our day very special. We would absolutely recommend him!! Such a sweet man.

    The Cison’s!

    Hi Rich,

    Thank you so much for our special day. It absolutely would not have been the same without you. Perfect mixture of catholic and modern 😉

    We were so worried we’d lose the church feel, deciding to do the ceremony at the venue, but we were beyond happy! Thank you! All because of you :)

    God Bless,
    Mr. & Mrs. Cison

    Thank you Pastor Rich!

    Pastor Rich is a fantastic officiant and person, and my wife and I couldn't have been happier to have chosen him for our wedding. From the beginning of our wedding planning process to the end, Pastor Rich was sincere, professional and attentive, answering all of our questions and helping us navigate the most important day of our lives. The planning process was made easy by Pastor Rich. He was constructive and helpful in planning our vows, incorporated the readings and traditions that we requested and even added great content that we did not think of. He continually followed up with us to make sure we were on track with our thoughts and deliverables, which was such a great help considering everything else we had to do. Where he really stood out though, was the ceremony. He did a great job navigating the ceremony, added a few funny stories about my wife and I, and was sincere and engaging throughout. He was thoughtful with his words, conveying the importance of marriage and love and really helped to make our ceremony amazing. After the wedding, Pastor Rich sent us a hand-written note expressing his gratitude for allowing him to be a part of our wedding and wishing us the best of luck, which meant so much to my wife and I. Overall, we couldn't be happier with Pastor Rich, and highly recommend his services. Thank you for making such a special day even better!

    Best officiant!

    Pastor Rich was the BEST officiant for our wedding! Our ceremony needed to be in both Spanish and English as our two families that spoke different languages and he went above and beyond helping us put together a bilingual ceremony. Not only did he help us incorporate Mexican traditions into the ceremony but all our guests felt included as he took the time to explain everything going on in Spanish and English. He even went above and beyond by giving us advice he’s learned over time with his own marriage, making everything more personal. I cannot recommend Pastor Rich enough!

    Beyond our expectations

    We could not have been more happy to have Rich officiate our wedding! From our first virtual meet, leading up to our wedding day- the amount of communication was incredible! We asked Rich for some advice and he always feel back on “it’s your day. Do what you think is best” honestly, hearing that from him helped ease some of the wedding stress. I loved how he took the time to ask about our story and what we love about one another. Rich incorporated our story into our ceremony, and our guests were raving about it! We appreciate having him in our special day. Don’t walk… RUN to book Rich!

    If you're looking for a great ceremony that really showcases you as a couple, Pastor Rich is your guy!

    Pastor Rich delivered such a beautiful ceremony for our wedding! I have a lot of family that only speaks Spanish so it was really meaningful to have had Pastor Rich cover parts of the ceremony in Spanish and is a big reason why we hired him. We loved that he asked us to share our favorite stories as a couple with him so that he could incorporate it into the ceremony. It was especially nice when my now husband and I sent him stories that the other didn't know about because it was a pleasant surprise to be reminded of that story during the ceremony and know that that was the other person's favorite memory of you.

    wonderful officiant!!

    We really enjoyed working with Pastor Rich for our wedding. He made the whole experience enjoyable and was so responsive throughout the experience. It was really important for us to have an officiant who was bilingual. We were so pleased at the mix of English and Spanish in our ceremony. We feel so blessed to have worked with Pastor Rich for our wedding

    He is the best!!!

    Thanks to him our ceremony was special, romantic and funny., Just how I asked him to be. It was perfect! With my husband being from India, and me being from Venezuela, we wanted a pastor who could get us married in English as well as Spanish simultaneously. From the first time we meet Pastor Rich, he made us feel incredibly comfortable. He understood our love story and was able to beautifully include that into our ceremony which left our friends and families emotionally overjoyed, as Pastor Rich seamlessly overcame the language barrier for our guests. We highly recommend him!!

    Wonderful Officiant!

    My husband and I were on the hunt for an officiant who would be able to do our ceremony in both Spanish and English. We had only 4ish months to plan our wedding, and were hoping for someone who would be flexible with us. Pastor Rich was one of the first people we reached out to. He was professional and incredibly helpful from the start. He traveled over an hour outside Chicago to officiate our wedding. We received many compliments on our ceremony that Pastor Rich created a welcoming atmosphere where our guests felt like active participants. They appreciated the way that Pastor Rich made the ceremony feel intimate and familiar. We set up a webcam to livestream the wedding for our relatives, and Pastor Rich helped us make it all happen. We are so grateful to Pastor Rich for making our day so special. ¡Mil gracias! (My one suggestion for future brides and grooms would be to get his premium package, which includes a wedding planning meeting, rehearsal, and the ceremony. We flubbed a few of our lines during the ceremony and would have appreciated the extra practice!)

    Very happy!

    We spent months looking for a bilingual officiant for our May 2021 wedding, and I know we couldn't have made a better choice than choosing Pastor Rich! He was attentive, timely, flexible (COVID wedding) and couldn't have been kinder and more helpful throughout our planning process and actual wedding day. Thankful to have had him on our wedding day and would highly recommend him to other couples!

    100% recommend Pastor Rich!

    Pastor Rich was a great officiant for our wedding. He answered all of our questions and was quick at responding to emails. He made the ceremony personal towards us and incorporated some nice religion into the wedding. During the wedding, his calm persona put us at ease. We would definitely recommend him!

Lo recomiendo al 1000% por que es una persona amigable, respetuosa, con un corazón gigante y hará ese día tan importante súper especial /// I have no words to thank Pastor Rich for all the support.

    Loved Pastor Rich!

    We had a great experience working with Pastor Rich! He was responsive, warm, and did a great job expressing our love during our wedding ceremony. We met Pastor Rich about a month before our wedding for a consultation and to discuss the specifics of our ceremony, and he took everything to heart and delivered it flawless during our ceremony. Everyone had wonderful things to say about Pastor Rich and our parents were especially happy with him! I would definitely recommend working with Pastor Rich for your wedding!

    Pastor Rich is the BEST! :)

    My husband Bobby and I had the BEST experience with Pastor Rich. When we met (a year before our wedding), he made everything super easy for us! We knew Pastor Rich would be great on the day of our wedding, but he truly went above and beyond our expectations. I can't wait to see the video from our ceremony so we can relive our special day. Highly recommend Pastor Rich!! :)

    More than an officiant!

    Pastor Rich was responsive and wonderful the entire process. He accommodated us through THREE different date changes with no issue. His officiating was amazing which was echoed all night by our guests. It really meant a lot to have Pastor Rich take the time to get to know us before the big day and incorporate that into his message. Big plus - he did part of the service in Spanish for my wife’s side of the family and helped me do my vows in Spanish. Great human being and officiant!!

    Perfect, Personalized Bilingual Ceremony During Pandemic

    Pastor Rich made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! Having a bilingual (Spanish/English) officiant was very important to us and Pastor Rich did a beautiful job bringing together our two cultures. We received so many compliments on how lovely and personal the experience was for our guests. Pastor Rich took the time to get to know us and was very communicative from start to finish. Even during normal times, wedding planning can be stressful, but bringing the day together during a global pandemic was unthinkable. So grateful that we had Pastor Rich in our corner!

    Amazing Experience from start to finish!

    My husband and I got married on 9/5/2020 and Pastor Rich was our officiant. We are so happy to have chosen him for our ceremony - he has such a great style and is a joy to be around. We clicked with him from our very first phone conversation and really appreciated his approach to everything. He is very organized, transparent, timely, takes detailed notes and is incredibly positive. When COVID hit, he helped us stay calm and was able to adjust as needed to ensure our big day went off without a hitch! Our families loved him and everyone was thrilled with the ceremony! Thank you Pastor Rich for playing such an important part in our big day!
