California Wedding Joy

Raymond is so kind and thoughtful. He really made our day special! He asked all kinds of questions to get to know us and provide details to our attendees on how we met, how long we’ve been together and what we enjoy doing. He kept it upbeat and beautiful and makes it exactly how you want the ceremony to go.

A Perfect Personalized Service

After hearing so many recommendations from our vendors, and reading his website, we were thrilled that Rev. Raymond Teague was available to be our wedding officiant earlier this month at the Mavericks Event Center in Half Moon Bay. Raymond definitely has a special gift for connecting with people, for listening, and observing, and that gift shines through in his writing and his speech. We never dreamed that our ceremony could be so perfect, and so well-suited to us, and we attribute it wholly to Raymond's careful attention to detail, thoughtful suggestions, and gentle guidance.

Rev. Raymond Teague was a joy to work with. He asked us questions about out life, our values, what we wanted for our ceremony, and tailored the ceremony according to our wishes. Everyone commented on how beautiful our ceremony was and asked if we had written it ourselves, but it was Rev. Teague who deserves all the credit for making our ceremony so moving and memorable not only for us, but also for all our guests that day.

My husband and I got married July 11th at Hastings House in Half Moon Bay. When looking into finding the right officiant for our wedding, I came across Raymond and had a really positive feeling about him from the start. He just seemed to have a great energy and genuineness about him. My gut ,was right! Working with Raymond was one of the smoothest aspects of our wedding start to finish. Months prior to the wedding he met with us to get to know us, and then he put together a very well-written, and personalized ceremony for us. We had the opportunity to add to it and further personalize options for during the ceremony as it fit us.
We could not have been more happy with our ceremony and having Raymond officiate our special day. He did an incredible job! We recommend him without any reservations.

Raymond met with us months before the wedding and guided us all the way to the ceremony. His warm personality and the calm voice of a poet made the event very comfortable and blissful. Because of his open-minded approach and availability via email, we would recommend Raymond to anyone who is writing their vows."

Me and my wife picked the right person to be our wedding officiant. Rev. Teague officiated our wedding on Poplar beach on July 28. It was a wonderful experience with Rev. Teague. Prior to our wedding day, Rev. Teague asked us to come over to his house for consultation. During the conversation, Rev. Teague asked us questions on how we wanted to plan our wedding. Me and wife had always wanted to do a beach wedding. During the consultation with Rev. Teague, he helped us create a very solemn and romantic wedding ceremony. He gave us suggestions and advice which made our dream wedding even more wonderful. He came up with a very simple but solemn ceremony. During the ceremony, Rev. Teague led the program, and it went exactly how we wanted it to be.

I highly recommend Rev. Teague to be your wedding officiant. Rev. Teague is a good listener. He will help you to make your dream wedding a reality.

Thank you very much Rev. Teague for being part of our special day. I could not thank you enough.

Rev. Raymond Teague was an excellent officiant at my daughter's wedding. My daughter and her husband were very busy and unclear about what they wanted. Reverand Teague worked with me to personalize their ceremony. On the day of the ceremony, he was a calming force when everyone was nervous. He even made guests from out of the country very comfortable. The ceremony was lovely, just what we wanted.
