    Look no further he’s the BEST!!

    Richard officiated our wedding 1-14-23 and it was truly better than ever imagined. Within the first few seconds of virtually meeting him we knew he was the one for us. He was funny, thorough, organized and helpful. He walked us through every step of the process and our ceremony. He made sure he tailored everything exactly to us and we were happy. During our ceremony he made us comfortable, made us laugh and made us cry. Our families have endlessly been saying Richard was amazing! Even my great aunt asked how her son can use him for his wedding next year! Doesn’t get better than that. I was looking for more photos but Richard is a pro and stepped out of the important ones! I promise look no further! Thank you Richard for making our big day perfect!

    Phenomenal

    Richard executed the most beautiful ceremony we we could have ever dreamed of! My husband and I had a vision and Richard made it happen. It was everything from traditional to a mix of personal experiences. Richard told our story better than anyone could have. He made us laugh and made us cry. We still get compliments to this day of attending the best ceremony. I will go above and beyond of recommending Richard for your ceremony. We will always remember how amazing our ceremony was and how it was the highlight of that day!!
