Reverend Ric officiated our elopement, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

Reverend Ric officiated our elopement, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! From our very first conversation, his warmth and genuine passion for what he does made us feel completely at ease. He took the time to get to know us and understand our vision, which meant so much to us.

On our special day, he created a beautiful and intimate atmosphere that perfectly reflected our love and commitment to each other. His thoughtful words and the personal touches he added made our ceremony not just a formality but a heartfelt celebration of our journey together.

Reverend Ric’s professionalism and ability to connect with us created a truly memorable experience. We are so grateful for his guidance and support throughout the entire process, which made everything feel seamless and stress-free.

Thank you, Reverend Ric, for making our elopement an unforgettable experience filled with joy and love. We will cherish these moments for a lifetime!

With all our love,
Caroline and Michael Duarte

Overall great experience!!

We could not have found a better person to officiate our wedding! Ric was amazing, and he helped make our private ceremony perfect! He was so helpful in understanding the steps we needed to take to ensure everything went smoothly. From scheduling a zoom meeting early on, to providing us with information regarding our marriage license/official certificate, and patiently waiting when our ceremony ran behind schedule! He was one of the most genuine people we worked with, is so very positive, and brought fun energy to the ceremony! His website is also very user friendly. We are so thankful we found him, and would highly recommend his services!!

Ric did an amazing job!

We have nothing but good things to say about Ric from Olive Tree Officiating! He did an amazing job officiating our wedding. Ric is very personable and made us feel like family the first time we met. He personalized his speech to us and it was very heartfelt. Our guests loved him as well! Ric also made the marriage licensing process very easy to understand. My husband and I highly recommend Ric!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
