Ruth was truly amazing and made our evening so special

Words cannot expressed how please we are with how everything turned out. Ruth made our evening so special - she told our story in the most beautiful way. There wasn’t a dry tear in the room - she made us laugh and made us cry. Our families and friends would describe the service in one word “beautiful” - to us it as so special and something we would remember forever. If we could rate 1-10, we’d give it a 20 - we were just so pleased and happy with how everything went anti was all thanks to Ruth. Thank you for everything and helping make our day special.

Ruth is absolutely wonderful!

Ruth is so great! She so efficient and easy to work with. I feel like we only have to have few phone calls during the entire planning process which was a huge weight off my shoulders. She’s very open to any needs or wants we had and was extremely easy to work with. Love Ruth so much and so grateful she performed our ceremony. Aww

Highly Recommend for a Personalized Ceremony

My husband and I highly recommend Ruth Ellen Hasser. She did an amazing job officiating our ceremony – in fact, many of our guests said it was the best ceremony they’ve attended. Why? Because Ruth helped us personalize every aspect of it. We met with her a few times and answered questions about us and our relationship. We asked a lot of questions of our own and asked for suggestions, and she was happy to help. Ruth let us a review (and edit) a draft of the ceremony and on the day of our wedding, the short ceremony was perfect for us.

Great experience and very responsive

Ruth was awesome during the whole process. Very thoughtful and experienced. Ruth was easy to work with and willing to work with our crazy schedules for zoom meetings and that was a blessing because we live in another state. She gave us so many examples to choose from and was very open to customization. Overall the planning process went a lot smoother due to her experience.

5 Star Service!

Ruth was fantastic for us! She was able to provide the cermony of our dreams and was able to tell our story to everyone in attandance in a beautful, heartfelt manner. She kept it light, funny but most importantly, romantic and special. We had so many friends and family members come up to us afterwards and said how special and well done the cermony was. I would recommend Ruth in a heartbeat!

Ruth is the best of the best when it comes to wedding officiants!

After hearing Ruth speak at our ceremony, it's kind of hard to believe that she didn't know us prior to our wedding. She explained the story of us so well, it's like she was present for it! She captured every detail of our history and story! Ruth is such a kind and caring soul. She is extremely accommodating, responsive, and helpful. She helped provide us with tips and formats so that our ceremony was everything that we wanted it to be and ran as smooth as it could have ever gone. We are so happy that we booked with Ruth for our special day!

Wonderful experience

Ruth was wonderful to work with! She created an amazing draft of our ceremony and worked with us to get it into its final shape. She did a great job wrangling people and giving out instructions at our rehearsal. And on the day of, she did a fantastic job! We absolutely recommend her! And wish we could give more than 5 stars!
