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!

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.

Great communications!
Very Prompt and extremely professional!
Thank you for your compassion and may God Bless!

Rick was responsive, prepared, and professional. He helped make our day unforgettable!

We decided with a month left to have an actual ceremony instead of going to the courthouse. Dr. Hessman was such a blessing to find. He’s warm, friendly, and super willing to work to make each couple’s day full of love. He was definitely the friendliest person I spoke to when making this decision, and he charged half the price of the others. I’m so thankful we found Dr. Hessman!

Rick was awesome and did the ceremony liked we asked and was very personable.

Dr. Rick was incredible! He was easy to work, quick to communicate and fun to be around for our rehearsal and ceremony the day of! I loved that he was able to make our ceremony centered around Christ, and would recommend anyone that wants an easygoing, caring, and positive officiant, book with Dr. Rick!

Working with Dr. Hessman was truly a pleasure during a recent wedding that I coordinated. He brought a warm, calming presence to the ceremony and created a meaningful experience that beautifully reflected the couple. From communication to execution, he was professional, organized, and a wonderful partner during the wedding. I would absolutely recommend him and look forward to working together again!
