Randy Lioz

We were fortunate to have Randy as our wedding officiant in DC. From the very beginning, Randy's responsiveness stood out; he made us feel like a top priority, never too busy for our questions or concerns. Randy's approach is personal and thorough. He scheduled meetings with us as a couple to get to know us and to ensure that our ceremony script would be deeply meaningful. What's more, he even reached out to our chosen family members and friends to gain further insights into our relationship. He even thought of making/made the script trilingual (English, Russian, Spanish) and offered others valuable ideas to enhance the meaning of our ceremony. These personal touches made a significant difference in the final ceremony script.

Randy's support extended beyond officiating. He offered to assist in any way he could, even stepping in as our day-of coordinator. During the reception, he guided our guests through the various event sequences, from the first dance to the toasts, in a friendly and natural manner, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly.

We also rented his classic car for stunning nighttime photos in DuPont Circle, resulting in incredible pictures. He literally has a lot to offer, a one stop-man that will give that special touch to your wedding.

Overall I would say, Randy's personal touch is what truly sets him apart as well as his reliability, always on time and keeping every promise he makes, providing peace of mind. He isn't just a service provider; he's a person who genuinely cares about making your special day perfect. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and talented officiant and coordinator. Randy helped making our wedding an unforgettable experience, and we strongly recommend his services.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our wedding day! From our very first call, we knew he was the one — his easygoing nature and clear vision for the ceremony immediately put us at ease. What truly set him apart was how personal and thoughtful his speech was. He took the time to gather stories and anecdotes from the people closest to us, weaving them into the ceremony in a way that felt so genuine and heartfelt. So many of our guests came up to us afterward to compliment his words — several even said it felt like he had known us for years! He had a rare ability to capture who we are as a couple and bring that to life in front of everyone we love. It made the whole ceremony feel incredibly special and uniquely ours. Since we decided to do our vows with eachother and not during the ceremony, it was another way for the guests to understand our story from those we love. If you're looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your day memorable, look no further. We would recommend him without hesitation — 5 stars, hands down!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Randy Lioz as our wedding officiant, and he was truly amazing! From the very beginning, Randy went above and beyond to make our ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and completely us.
He took the time to get to know us before the big day and even reached out to some of our family and friends to learn more about who we are as people. Hearing those thoughtful details woven into our ceremony was such a special and emotional moment — it made everything feel so genuine and unique to our story.
Randy also shared a few versions of the ceremony in advance and encouraged us to collaborate and make edits, which meant so much to us. It really felt like a team effort, and we appreciated his flexibility and care in making sure everything reflected our personalities and values.
On the day of the wedding, Randy was incredible — he delivered the ceremony beautifully in both English and Spanish, allowing all of our guests to feel included and connected. His charisma, warmth, and calm presence instantly put us at ease and made the entire experience unforgettable.
We are so grateful to have had Randy as part of our day. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, genuine, and talented officiant!

Working with Randy was an absolute pleasure! Randy performed our wedding ceremony in both English and Spanish and did a fantastic job. He really captured the relationship between my husband and I and spoke so eloquently. He was very communicative, professional and helpful in creating a ceremony that was perfect for us. I would highly recommend choosing Randy if you are looking for an officiant!

We were so lucky to have found Randy! He was extremely professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He is also very personable and you can tell he enjoys what he does! We opted for the ‘Uniquely You’ wedding package, as we hoped for a more personalized sermon. We were absolutely blown away at how spot-on the ceremony he customized for us was and how eloquently he delivered each and every segment. Many of us were brought to tears! We cannot recommend Randy enough.

Randy was wonderful, even without having a rehearsal he made sure that we could review what he would say and help direct us. We were so confident with him even with us being very introverted people. He even knew the big rule and stepped out for us to have a picture kissing. He was responsive and even reached out to our family and friends to really get to know us.

Randy was the best person to turn to when we were looking for an officiant that would understand how to approach the fusion of different cultural backgrounds, while simultaneously celebrating our union. He communicated with us prior to the ceremony and wrote the most beautiful speech which made all of us tear up. He put his heart and soul into it while staying true to what we wanted. He was very attentive to details, like stepping aside for our first kiss without us noticing. Absolutely recommend!

Randy was able to perfectly embody us and our relationship for the ceremony. His individualized approach of privately talking to bridesmaids and groomsmen tailoring the service to match the “vibe” we were going for.
More importantly he worked with us and helped us to figure what we wanted and exactly the “level of religiousness” we wanted our ceremony to be. We didn’t want too much or too little. Our religious family member and non-religious friends BOTH loved the whole ceremony.
More than once people asked us if we knew him privately! He was able to achieve the perfect level of intimacy for our wedding day!

We were so fortunate to have Randy officiate our wedding! He made our ceremony so special, personalized and absolutely beautiful. Our wedding day was truly perfect thanks to him, and he delivered a sermon that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Randy took the time to get to really know us as a couple, to understand our history and our values. The result was a ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple. Randy even incorporated some parts of our ceremony in Spanish for my parents, which meant the world to me and my family. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and we are so, so grateful to Randy!!

Our team procured Randy for a client’s wedding that had a short planning time we all loved working with him. He was super responsive, friendly and overall had such great demeanor. The bride and groom loved how he took time to get to know them and their love story and was very attentive to detail when it came to their wants and needs for a multi-cultural/religion ceremony. He seemed to really care that both sides’ desires were met. Highly recommend!
