Amazing Wedding Minister - Highly Recommend!

We would recommend Ronald to any couple who was looking for an intimate and special wedding ceremony outside of a religious setting. We wrote our own vows and Ronald was able to so perfectly fit them into our own custom ceremony and allowed us to pick and choose things that were important to us. He was able to come to our Rehearsal as well, and we felt at complete ease and stress free as soon as we met him! He was always so responsive and helpful and genuinely invested in our special day, which was so appreciated. In addition, he also provided us with so much information on our Marriage Certificate and how to change my last name! We would give him 10 Stars if we could!

Beautiful Ceremony!

We originally hired Ron based on his reviews, and I can honestly say he lived up to every single expectation. He was incredibly helpful in guiding us to create our perfect ceremony. While he offered wonderful advice and direction, he always made sure that the final result was completely personal and unique to us.

My biggest takeaway from working with Ron is seeing how much he truly cares. That genuine care was so evident in our meetings leading up to the wedding, and especially during the ceremony itself—it felt so heartfelt and was so much more than just someone reading from a piece of paper.

On top of delivering a beautiful ceremony, Ron takes care of all the behind-the-scenes logistics, which made everything effortless on our end. We are so grateful to have had him marry us!

Absolutely Amazing From Start to Finish!

We cannot recommend Ronald highly enough! From day one, he was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and detailed in all of his communication. He made the entire planning process feel effortless and was such a pleasure to work with.
Ronald was incredibly helpful when it came to choosing and planning our ceremony. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and even incorporated personalized touches that were completely unique to us. It was clear that he genuinely cared about making our ceremony meaningful and special.
Throughout the entire process, Ronald was kind, professional, organized, and attentive. He made planning with him an absolute breeze, and on the wedding day itself, he was wonderful. He spoke clearly and professionally, and you could truly tell how much he cares about every couple and every ceremony he officiates.
We have received so much wonderful feedback from our guests, and so many of them specifically mentioned how great Ronald was! It meant so much to us that our guests noticed the same warmth, professionalism, and care that we experienced throughout the entire process.
If you are looking for a wedding officiant, look no further. Ronald is absolutely fantastic, and we would recommend him 1,000 times over! We are so grateful that he was part of our special day and would choose him again in a heartbeat.

Great Officiant

Ronald was great to work with for my sister’s wedding this August. He came highly recommended by the wedding venue and we were very pleased. He was very responsive, respectful and flexible on the final touches we had added to the ceremony. He is informative before, during and after the ceremony.

Mike & Kris Elopement at Phipps 6/20/26

From the very first day we reached out to Minister Ronald Cambest until our wedding day at Phipp's Conservatory on 6/20/26 , everything went smoothly. He provided us with multiple different options for our Ceremony and Vows which allowed us to create our own vision for our special day. He made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease. He is very professional and personable. We would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant.

Ronald was the best officiant we could’ve asked for! He was so friendly and easy to work with. We wrote our own ceremony, and he offered positive feedback. Several of our guests expressed what a wonderful job he did. He was so easy to work with and I would recommend him to anyone!

Ron Cambest was kind and communicative. He knew what we didn’t know, helped us think through our service, and was there to answer questions. And the service itself was awesome! I’d recommend Ron any day of the week.

Wonderful wedding officiant!

Minister Ronald Cambest made planning our ceremony so stress free and easy! When we first reached out, he responded within the day with more information about his services and what would happen with planning and on the day of the wedding if we chose to work with him. As soon as we said we would like to hire him, he sent us many ceremony text examples and readings. Whenever we had questions or were working on ceremony text drafts, he always responded within a couple days by email and was available for a call. On the day of the wedding, he filled out the marriage license before the ceremony so we could just enjoy the ceremony. It was a pleasure working with Minister Cambest!

Personal, Inclusive, Seamless

Ron was paired with us through Phipps' Pop-Up Wedding package, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better fit. From the moment we first emailed him (about two weeks before the wedding), he was enthusiastic, responsive, and genuinely excited to work with us.
He offered a wide range of thoughtfully prepared ceremony scripts and was completely open to any edits or customization. We ended up Frankensteining a ceremony together using our favorite elements from several of his scripts and incorporating Jewish traditions to honor one bride's heritage. Ron approached everything with warmth, flexibility, and respect, making the process feel easy and collaborative.
We got exactly what we were hoping for and were incredibly grateful for the care and inclusivity he brought to our day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
