Geri and Brian's wedding
Mr R. Cambest made the whole process a breeze. He helped us put together a ceremony that was right for us well in advance of the wedding date. Was quick to respond to all correspondence and made sure we had all information we would need. Both in correspondence and day of ceremony he was nothing but polite and professional. He did a wonderful job performing our ceremony.Mr R. Cambest made the whole process a breeze. He helped us put together a ceremony that was right for us well in advance of the wedding date.

Thank you!
Our experience with Ron is truly something we as a couple and our guests will never forget and never stop talking about! All night long, our guests shared how amazing our ceremony was! We received SO many compliments on how joyful Ron was and how the energy was just beaming off him. We are so thankful we chose Ron to play such a huge role in our day. He made the entire process stress-free and so memorable. THANK YOU!Our experience with Ron is truly something we as a couple and our guests will never forget and never stop talking about!

Out of this world
Ronald was absolutely amazing! I would literally hire him 10x over. He made this process smooth and easy and as stress free as he possibly could ! The thought and dedication that he goes into to make our ceremony perfect is out of this world. He has multiple of resources and poems and outlines for you to choose from so everything is to your liking and personalized. He really is so personable it’s felt like I’ve known him forever now. I literally couldn’t be any happier. I would 10/10 recommend to everyone !Ronald was absolutely amazing! I would literally hire him 10x over.

Ronald was so kind and professional. He made our ceremony such a stress free and smooth ceremony to remember forever. He really tailors the vows and type of ceremonies for any kind of ceremony that you picture and he makes the process flow so smoothly. We were so happy with or short and romantic ceremony. Highly recommend him as an officiant for any type of wedding.Ronald was so kind and professional. He made our ceremony such a stress free and smooth ceremony to remember forever.

A wonderful wedding officiant
We had Minister Ronald J. Cambest BSW officiate our 2/22/2024 wedding at River Forest Country Club. Our relative that is involved in videography for weddings had great words to say about him as an officiant and we were quick to reach out in hopes he could be there for our day. Our wedding was planned in less than a month and we were both nervous on finding an officiant. After reaching out, Minister Cambest was fast to respond in great detail about everything. He made the ceremony part of the day so easy and stress free for us. He is a friendly and fun guy, really nice. We are very happy that we chose him and I know that you will be too!We had Minister Ronald J. Cambest BSW officiate our 2/22/2024 wedding at River Forest Country Club.

Professional, Passionate, & Friendly
Right off the bat, Ron won us over when we had our first phone call with him, while he was on a cruise. He is friendly, inviting, and really invested in making your ceremony exactly as you want it. He offers great advice along the way even if you don't have a game plan in mind. He easily meshed our preferred ceremony outline with some of his templates that we chose. Everyone at our ceremony raved about his ethos and how well the ceremony played out. Highly recommend Ron's services for an unforgettable ceremony/wedding.Right off the bat, Ron won us over when we had our first phone call with him, while he was on a cruise.

Great Officiant
Minister Cambest was fantastic to work with. He made planning our ceremony so incredibly easy it was one of the things I never had to worry about. He had provided plenty of options for us to choose from in regards to ceremony, readings, and vows. He even let me add in/reword a few things with no problem at all. He was extremely pleasant in person and helpful to us throughout to make our big day even better. He was even able to improvise regarding our unity ceremony due to our forgetfulness to bring the glass we were planning on using. He always provided service with a smile and always asked about what we wanted to make our wedding truly ours. Would 100% recommend to anyone.Minister Cambest was fantastic to work with.

Fast, flexible, and fun
Very professional, with plenty of options to make sure everything goes as you plan. Ronald mentioned that he was also a therapist outside of his officiant work, which was clearly demonstrated in his ability to connect with his clients as an officiant - his friendly personality and sense of humor before, during, and after the ceremony put our minds at ease as soon as he arrived.
The awards he's received for this are well-earned - you won't go wrong choosing him for your day.Very professional, with plenty of options to make sure everything goes as you plan.

We could not have asked for more. Ron was responsive, timely, had great resources for customizing our ceremony. He allowed us to do everything we wished to. He is great at what he does and you can tell he is so genuine. We had our wedding at Fairmont Pittsburgh and he is well known to the staff there.We could not have asked for more.

Wonderful Experience
Working with Ron was a wonderful experience. Meeting him for the first time, you could feel the warmth and genuineness he brings into his work. It was important for us to find someone who honored and understood the way our faith has shaped our relationship, and he did just that.
He walked us through the process of creating our ceremony script with scripture, poems and professional insight, handled sending our marriage license paperwork to the court, and provided resources for post-wedding name change and license acquisition.

We loved how organized he was and provided us with ideas for simple vows that we wanted for our intimate wedding
We enjoyed meeting Ronald and having him be the officiant at our wedding on December 17, 2022 at Fairmont Pittsburgh downtown. He arrived early to ensure that we knew where to stand and went over things, which I appreciated a lot and it made me have less stress. He a friendly and fun guy, really nice. We are very happy that we chose him and I know that you will be too!We enjoyed meeting Ronald and having him be the officiant at our wedding on December 17, 2022 at Fairmont Pittsburgh downtown.

Delight to work with and a perfect ceremony
Ok, getting a minister should be easy right? We're in love and God is love; what's not to like?! Oh brother, finding the right minister was not easy. I'm from out of town, so the church here, even though the same denomination as the one to which I belong back home, had multiple page questionnaires, counseling, meetings, etc. We would have had to spend hours or days proving to a stranger (who I don't think was married) we were good enough to be married by him (and make a big donation to the church). A few were ego maniacs. A few I doubt owned a Bible or any other religious text. Some looked scary. Some seemed drugged. Some were angry anti-establishment types. Some were "hippies" in a strange time warp from the 70s. They undoubtedly drove a DeLorean and would time travel to our wedding. Some had a "one service fits all" approach.
But NOT Minister Cambest.
Minister Cambest was easy to work with. Everything was in writing and promptly sent via email. We had our choice of many services and we could personalize our service to our heart's content, and we did--even at the last minute when a friend wanted to read a poem in the service. Rev. Cambest was engaging and connected with our guests. He was kind and friendly. He showed up perfectly attired and groomed. That may seem shallow to mention, but he's in all our vow pictures so that matters! There was no prepayment--we just paid him after the ceremony. Many of our guests commented on what a great minister we had and how perfect the service was.
I think so too--our service was perfect! But then I'm biased. Thank you Rev. Cambest!Ok, getting a minister should be easy right? We're in love and God is love; what's not to like?!
