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!

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.

Minister Ronald J. Cambest is the BEST!

Our experience with Minister Ronald J. Cambest was exceptional! My husband and I did a very small & intimate ceremony with only a few guests. We didn't have much of a plan or idea on how we wanted our ceremony to go, but Minister Ronald J. Cambest provided a great deal of options and was very flexible! I would highly recommend his services to anyone! He was very professional, well spoken, enthusiastic.

Ronald is 10/10

We were planning a Pittsburgh Elopement at the Allegheny County courthouse and didn't have a plan for an officiant for the wedding.. We found Ronald on Wedding Wire after a quick search. I sent an email and it was easy to choose him from there. He made the process so easy, helped us with many personalizations to the ceremony of our choosing and overall so conforming. I knew he was going to make our wedding perfect the moment I met him before the ceremony (but I already had no doubts of that during our email exchanges). Thank you for making our day special.

Exceptional, Personable, and Professional

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding minister. From the very beginning, he worked closely with us to create a ceremony that felt truly personal and meaningful. He was always quick to answer our questions, incredibly organized, and so easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, he was the perfect balance of warm, personable, and professional, which helped put us completely at ease. The ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt, and we received so many compliments from our guests. We highly recommend him to any couple looking for a minister who genuinely cares about making their ceremony perfect.

10/10! We're truly grateful for such a beautiful experience!

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! From the very start, Ronald was incredibly responsive and made the entire process of planning our ceremony completely stress free. He provided several beautiful options for us to customize our ceremony and was more than happy to incorporate my personal changes, making it feel truly our own.
He has such a warm, genuine presence and a wonderful voice that added so much to the intimacy of our small courthouse wedding. When I first met him, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. He instantly put us at ease and helped calm any pre-wedding jitters.
I cannot recommend him enough! Any couple who chooses him to officiate their big day will be so happy they did.

Ronald is amazing!

Working with Ronald was absolutely wonderful! We wanted to ensure we could find an officiant who actually cared about us as a couple and we found that in Ronald. When we were still in the process of looking for an officiant, Ronald offered to meet us out for coffee to chat and get to know us as a couple. We greatly appreciate the time he took to do that. He made our ceremony beautiful and we can’t thank him enough for being a part of our special day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
