Thoughtful and Professional Officiant
We could rely on Rick
Eloquent Officant with customizable services
On our wedding day Rick ran both my husband and I through the ceremony as well as our photographer and anyone else who had a role in the ceremony.
Rick’s delivery was touching, never rushed and brought a warmth to the ceremony. He was exceptionally prepared and aware of small details like stepping away so the photographer could take photos at certain points. His attire was professional, and his bow tie choice was whimsical and my favorite part of his outfit (it was wooden).
Rick made our day feel beyond special and we couldn’t recommend him more.
Rick was fantastic!
He was always available, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable, which made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. Rick took the time to get to know us and crafted a heartfelt ceremony that beautifully captured our love story. His attention to detail and reliability gave us complete peace of mind. He even helped mail and scan our marriage certificate afterward so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
From start to finish, working with Rick was an absolute delight, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly!
His way of officiating is awesome! We absolutely loved his style!
A ceremony that was deep, humorous and sweet
