Reverend Hunt officiated our wedding ceremony this past December and did a beautiful job. He really paid attention to who we were as individuals and as a couple and fully integrated our personal story to make a meaningful and unique ceremony. Our family is still talking about what a wonderful job he did. Thank you so much Reverend Hunt for making our day perfect! With much love, Phil and Lisa O'Brien.

Rev. Hunt was the Officiant for my daughter's wedding and we could not have been more pleased. It was a beautiful ceremony; however, beyond that Rev, Hunt was accessible and very helpful through every step of our planning and organizing. Rev. Hunt is the best!

Reverend Ron was wonderful, he spoke with us many times prior to our event. He took the time to get to know us and to see what we really valued as a couple. The custom ceremony he wrote for us was absolutely perfect, our family and friends were truly enjoyed it. Thank you so much Rev. Ron, we couldn't be happier

Reverend Hunt is the man. He did as he said: made us a personally written ceremony, completely authentic and filled with our love story. Our guests loved him and so do we! He was also the only officiant who got back to me out of ALOT of the vendors on this site. He responds to emails within hours and was so gracious about anything we asked! Thanks Ron, you'll never be forgotten!

Reverend Ron was absolutely perfect for us. Extremely flexible, I called him only several days before the ceremony. He really took the time to find out what we wanted which was hard for me to articulate, but he just knew what we needed. We had the ceremony in our back yard and he was wonderfully patient with our very pesky and large dogs, and very comfortable with our guests who loved him. I will highly recommend Rev. Ron for any ceremony!
