Christopher

Reverend Atlas was more than we could have asked for. She was prepared by having different personal stories that she wove into the ceremony. She is such a lovely person and did everything to make this a special day. I would heartily recommend Rev Atlas to anyone who is Planning on getting married.

Personal and Professional

Reverend Rita is a long time friend of the bride and the perfect choice for our non-denominational wedding. She was knowledgeable about the legal process, provided a structure for the flow of our service, was flexible about including the specific content we wanted, and creative about telling our "love story" in her remarks. She expertly guided us through the preparation and rehearsal, and was a confident and relaxed "host" for our guests. An experienced professional with a big heart, a sense of humor and true love for her profession.

Simple ceremony as we wished!

We are a couple who have been together for many years, and wanted to finalize and to make legal our arrangement. Our ceremony took place in my living room, and was very simple, but Rita made it very special for us. Our "vows" were very simple and straightforward, and we had two witnesses present. We highly recommend Rita for her flexibility in our desire to keep it simple. She is also an interesting person with the knack of making people comfortable.

Saved by Rita!

After our wedding was postponed due to COVID, our officiant backed out and we were left searching for an officiant at the last minute. Rita was recommended by another officiant and we are so lucky we found her! She came on board only 3 weeks prior to the wedding and completely gave us her all. She paid just as much attention to us as she would've normally. Rita lead the most beautiful ceremony and it felt like she had known us for years. We would definitely recommend Rita if you are looking for a warm and personal ceremony. Thank you Rita!

Wonderful!!!!

Rita was amazing from the start. She made everything so personal for us. Asking us our love story and multiple questions about each other (when we knew we loved each other, when we felt closest, what we love about each other etc) and went over them during our ceremony. I didn’t know what my husband said about me and vice versa. My guests loved it too. They felt so close to us. She gave us options of what we wanted and was super flexible and easy to work with. She made the ceremony truly so beautiful and special.
