A fantastic and seamless wedding experience

I really can't say enough good things about our experience with Rev Ron. He was on his A-game during our wedding. His words were moving and felt very personal to my wife and I. He worked with us before the wedding to ensure we were happy with it. He was punctual and was patient with us when we would call and ask him questions even the day of.

Overall he made our wedding incredibly special and we will always appreciate it.

A perfectly tailored ceremony with Rev. Ron!

From the start, Rev. Ron was incredibly prompt with communication, always responding to our emails and messages quickly, which made the entire process so much smoother. His knowledge and experience were evident in every conversation, and he offered thoughtful insights that helped guide us in creating a meaningful ceremony.

He was professional and put us at ease, making sure every detail was in place. The script he crafted for our ceremony was perfect—it felt personal and reflective of our relationship, while still keeping the tone elegant and heartfelt. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, approachable, and able to craft the perfect ceremony, Rev. Ron is the one!

Incredible Officiant and so kind and warm!!!!

We were looking for an officiant just days before our wedding when Ron and his wife said they would be there! I was so relieved and after 14 years of engagement it was a pleasure to have Ron make us feel like he had known us forever! My little wedding would not have felt so special without him and recommend anyone who is getting married to choose him!!! Thank you so much Ron you will be in our wedding memories for the rest of time!
Love,
Cassandra and Daniel Smith
