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.

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.

Perfect match for us

From our first meeting with Ruth we could tell she was the right one to marry us. She had such a reverence for our relationship and truly wanted to understand who we were as people and as a couple.
Our ceremony was perfection. It was soulful and joyful, and really felt like it belonged to us. We didn’t feel like we were going through the motions or participating in a ritual. It was truly unique, and that was exactly what we wanted. Ruth has a great tenderness and a sense of humor that will immediately make you feel you are in the company of a friend. We felt totally at ease. We are so grateful to have met Ruth, and to have shared this special day with her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
