Ralph was an amazing officiant. He included everything we wanted and made sure the ceremony fit our timing and culture. He is hilarious without overdoing it and a true professional. Thanks Ralph!!! -

Ralph officiated our wedding last weekend, and we really enjoyed working with him. He went above and beyond to get to know me and my wife, understand our vision for our ceremony and any additions and changes we wanted to make, and he incorporated humor in the most professional, genuine way. We feel so blessed to have found him.
Ralph's experience officiating is apparent, and it was impressive to see him in his element, speaking to us and our family and friends and guiding us through the ceremony. He also put a lot of thought and effort into his marriage prep course, and my fiancé (at the time) and I had fun going through it together.
If you're getting married in the Nashville area, you can be confident that Ralph will do an amazing job on your ceremony! -

Ralph was incredible. He was extremely responsive and communicative. He had a wedding ceremony outline that we were able to edit as we like. He also offered a marriage counseling program. During the ceremony, he barely looked down at the ceremony script and spoke to our family and friends so confidently. He made everyone laugh by being himself and adding his personality during certain moments. He did a wonderful job and we would recommend him to anyone! -

Our wedding ceremony was the favorite part of our day for many reasons, and Ralph was one of those reasons! We planned our Franklin, TN wedding from Maine (where we live) and Ralph made our ceremony planning super smooth. He sent over a Word document template of a ceremony script and we were able to easily go in and modify it to make it our own and special to us. A lot of the suggestions that Ralph made to be included in our ceremony we went with and we are SO happy that we did! During our actual ceremony, Ralph was so personable and he made it seem as though we had known him for years! We are so thankful that Ralph was the one to marry us and I will never forget how special he made it for us - thank you, Ralph!! -

Amazing officiant!
Ralph was an amazing officiant! Nashville was not mine or my husband’s hometown so we were worried about finding a minister who would marry us with a personal, faith-filled touch. Our wedding planner Sweetwater Events connected us with Ralph and after meeting with him we immediately felt like we were in good hands. He tailored the ceremony to what we were looking for, kept it professional yet some light humor mixed in, it was a perfect ceremony. Ralph also provides an online pre-marital course which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was self-paced and filled with great discussion questions and notes. -

Ralph was an absolute pleasure to work with! We were worried about finding a minister that made us feel comfortable, but he was the perfect addition to our ceremony. He met with us via phone call to go through all the details, and even included an online premarital counseling course, which we used to strengthen our relationship in months leading up to our day, as well as get a great discount on our marriage license! He also sent us a ceremony planning guide that was instrumental in helping us craft the perfect ceremony. His delivery of it combined all of the seriousness, humor, and love we hoped for and we had numerous compliments on how much our guests enjoyed it! He also filed our license for us while we were away on our honeymoon! Ralph’s communication and professionalism can not be beat, and we are grateful to have had him as part of our team that day. If you’re stuck on who to go with for your wedding, you can trust that Ralph will do an outstanding job! -

Ralph combines the 100% right mixture of solemn professionalism with a great sense of humor and this innate projection of serenity, kindness, and thoughtfulness that you look for in a wedding officiant. He was patient and walked us through the final paces of what we needed to do, and everyone at the event had only positive things to say about Ralph. My husband even shed a tear when he was talking! We strongly suggest future couples choose Ralph for your big day! -

Technically we hired Mary Griggs (Ralph's wife) to officiate our wedding ceremony and we wanted to say how wonderful she is and the prep course her and Ralph provide to couples. My husband and I thought the course was helpful and we plan to continue to work on our communication with the tools provided. Mary is so sweet and was the perfect choice for our wedding! -

I hired Ralph Griggs in January of this year for my wedding in June. I actually had to change the date of my wedding due to covid and Mr. Griggs was still able to marry my husband and I. He was quick to respond to emails. He was on time for my wedding I was actually a few minutes late. If your looking for someone great to marry you I definitely recommend Ralph Griggs! -

Sarah Sent on 04/08/2013Ralph made our ceremony so heart felt and although we have only known him for a few months for our wedding he made the ceremony so special like he had known us for years! He has such a calm air about him and he just makes everything relaxed and so perfect! I would recommend Ralph to anyone looking for a minister in the Nashville area! He is a pro :) -

Michelle Sent on 08/09/2011My husband and I are from Chattanooga, Tn. When we decided to have our wedding in Nashville, we didn't have the convenience of having everything at our fingertips. We were worried about having a minister that would suit our needs and our personalities, someone that would be perfect to do our ceremony. Ralph Griggs was entertaining, quick witted (when helicopters flew by and alarms were going off) and an overall lovely man. We could not have been more satisfied! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY STOP LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO PERFORM YOUR CEREMONY AND CALL HIM NOW. I guarantee you, you will not be disappointed! -

Jennifer Sent on 06/02/2009Finding a minister was very a very difficult thing for my husband and I to do. At the time, we lived two hours apart and did not go to church regularly. We knew we wanted someone that was a minister, though. Religion is a part of our lives and we wanted it to be part of our ceremony. When we found Ralph Griggs online, we thought he sounded like the person for us. We set up a time to meet him and we also got to do an at-home marriage preparation course. It was very fun for us to do because it gave us the opportunity to talk about some things that we may not have talked about before. I would definitely recommend Ralph Griggs for weddings in the future! He was a blessing!
