Dr. Rick Hessman, Wedding Officiant

Rick done our beach ceremony in Ocean Isle, he was so nice and it seemed as if he knew us for years! Highly recommend him!

If you’re looking for an officiant who communicates amazingly, cares about you / your spouse / your day and is a genuinely great person, Rick is undoubtedly your guy!! He went above and beyond assuring he included our specific needs in his script and was just enjoyable to be around. You won’t be disappointed by his services or the process he offers them. Pick Rick!

We loved him!!! Very personable and very calm and collected. I can not say enough good things about him!

Dr. Rick was a delight to work with! Excellent communication and we did the ceremony without a rehearsal and it was PERFECT!

Dr. Rick Hessman was an exceptional wedding officiant and played such an important role in making our wedding day special. From our first conversation, he was professional, kind, and genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple. He created a ceremony that was personal, meaningful, and perfectly reflected our relationship.

His calm and confident presence helped everyone feel at ease, and he delivered the ceremony with warmth, sincerity, and just the right touch of humor. Many of our guests commented afterward on how beautiful and heartfelt the ceremony was.

If you are looking for an officiant who is thoughtful, engaging, and truly dedicated to creating a memorable ceremony, we highly recommend Dr. Rick Hessman.

Dr. Rick was very personable, friendly, prompt, and communicated very well.

We are so grateful to have had Rick as our wedding officiant. He took the time out of his own schedule to personally officiate our ceremony, and it meant so much to us. From the beginning, he was kind, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day special. His warmth and care helped make our ceremony feel personal and meaningful. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who truly cares about the couples he works with.

Dr. Hessman was a God send. He was able to officiate our wedding with 12 hours notice AND he drove an hour from Carolina Beach to make our sunrise service a reality. For those of u who don’t know, that means he probably left at 4:45 am on a Sunday to meet us at 6:10 am. He has a lot of scripts but he sends them to you ahead of time so you can personalize them as much or as little as you want. Highly, highly recommend. He is one of the kindest, patient and self less humans I have met. You can’t go wrong with Dr. Rick Hessman as your officiant for your special day. 👰🏻‍♀️💜🤵🏻‍♂️

We had Dr. Hessman officiant our wedding and had a wonderful experience! We had a small ceremony and are not located in the same area so we did not meet prior to but you would never even know, he was exactly as I expected, clearly communicated how everything would go and he did an amazing job. He really made us feel like we were important to him and made the ceremony feel very personal even though we didn't personally know him. I would highly recommend hiring him!

Dr. Hessman was great. Easy going and professional. Love that he cares about it and makes you feel comfortable.
