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!

My guests said it was the best ceremony they'd attended!

Reverend Ron was the officiant at my wedding in September 2017. Ron is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the beginning he communicated well with us, helping us to think through what was important to us in our ceremony. He took the time to get to know what my husband and I cared about most for our wedding, and was thoughtful in structuring the words he used during the ceremony (especially our vows) to fit with us and our vision for the day and for our lives together. He was hugely helpful at the rehearsal, taking charge of the process to make sure everyone knew where to be when, making sure the people doing readings knew how to use the microphone properly, and ensuring that my husband and I would be placed well so that our photographer could take beautiful photos! The day of the wedding, we had an unexpected 110 degree heat wave, and the chapel where we were getting married didn't have A/C. Ron was terrific at helping to keep the wedding party's spirits up as we melted in the heat. Despite the heat, his ceremony was reviewed by many of my guests as the best they had attended – I kept hearing from friends in the weeks and months after the wedding that they were blown away by how meaningful his words were, especially compared to other weddings they had attended. Ron helped make our wedding special, unique to us, and filled with joy, love, and excitement as we celebrated our marriage surrounded and supported by our friends and family. I very enthusiastically recommend him!

Amazing officiant!

Rev. Ron Davis was amazing at our wedding. I’ve had numerous guest that complimented his ceremony and loved his passion. I highly recommend having Rev. Ron to officiate your wedding! Not only was he flexible (because I asked him to keep it short) but he also sent me a preview of the script. He was very professional but personable as well. I highly recommend!

Our Special Wedding Cermony

Reverend Ron was exactly the officiant my husband and I were looking for and we could not have been nay happier in how the evening turned out. It was important to us to have an intimate ceremony in the home we built together. Rev. Ron was extremely easy to work with, quickly responded to all texts/calls/emails, and worked with us to create a simple ceremony at our home. Thank you Rev. Ron for making our day special and marrying Mike & I. It is an evening we will never forget and turned out perfect and exactly as we hoped for.

Rev Ron is an excellent wedding officiant

We were looking for a small simple ceremony for our backyard wedding, we wanted to keep it non-religious due to us having different religious upbringings. We hired Rev Ron to be our officiant, and he really delivered.

Before our wedding day he called me up and we had a chance to go over our plans, which we didn't really have much of a plan, we just wanted to keep it short and simple with traditional vows. He offered to email me what he planned to say in advance to allow us a chance to review it and give input. We didn't need to make a single change to it.

On our wedding day he arrived 30 minutes early to help us sort out all of the paperwork, so that we wouldn't have to deal with it afterwards when we wanted to be celebrating with family. After that was taken care of he mingled with the guests until it was time to start.

We really didn't have much of a plan that day as far as organizing the event, but he was great in stepping up and inviting everyone to come to the back yard for the start of the ceremony. The ceremony itself was exactly what we had hoped for. It was short and sweet, while it was not religious, it had some good words of wisdom and properly conveyed the weight and importance of marrige. I had a number of people specifically say to me that they really liked what Rev Ron had said.

So I would strongly recommend hiring Rev Ron to anyone looking for a wedding officiant. He really came through in helping make our special day even more memorable.

Incredible experience!

I am so incredibly grateful that we chose to have Ron as our officiant, and we can’t thank Ron enough for a wonderful wedding experience! We would definitely recommend his services.

On your wedding day, you want to be able to relax and trust that you are in safe hands, and we felt that with Ron completely. Ron is clearly an experienced professional, and he brought his years of experience to the table in helping us make sure that we were prepared in every way for our big day.

On the day of the ceremony, Ron was exactly what we wanted from an officiant, and was a wonderful presence. We honestly had so many of our guests tell us that this was the most moving wedding service they had every witnessed, and that is in no small part due to Ron!

Our wedding really was the fairy tale we had always wanted, and we can’t thank Ron enough for being a key part of the most important day of our lives!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
