Reviews of A Special Wedding Ceremony

1 Million Stars

Rick and his wife Deb went above and beyond in every sense.

Rick was ALWAYS available; for questions, advice, or to joke when levity was needed. He helped my husband and I with our vows with care, kindness, and expertise not many people possess. He helped us with the logistics of our ceremony space, planning our trip, getting our license, he counseled both of us - he was even an ear to listen when things went awry.

Rick went far out of his way to make sure our entire wedding went as smoothly as possible. He showed up several hours before the ceremony to set up a livestream of our wedding so those who couldn’t attend could still watch, and he and Deb even offered her power chair to my father who was unable to walk at the time. There were multiple solutions to every problem we ran into, most of which had nothing to do with his duties as an officiant. In any given disaster (and we had many) he’d say “if that’s what it takes” and he’d get whatever needed to be done, done.

Rick is a wedding wizard and an incredible human being. My husband and I are so blessed to have had him as our officiant and to call him a friend. He and his wife put their whole hearts into each wedding they participate in and we will cherish the time we had with them before and during our wedding, and after the ceremony, for the rest of our lives. They are truly unforgettable.

Amazing! Phenomenal!

Rick was our officiant at our wedding on 05/01/2021 and he did a phenomenal job! The ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we had hoped and dreamed of for our wedding. He was wonderful to work with and made sure the ceremony turned into exactly what we wanted. Rick arrived with plenty of time to spare and was very pleasant and warm. We enjoyed having him and his wife join us on our big day and I definitely recommend using him. I couldn't imagine having used any other officiant for our day.

Rick was Amazing!

Our officiant, Rick, did a wonderful job with our ceremony, was very flexible and professional, and stayed on top of everything. He made sure our timeline was followed and routinely made contact with my wife and I to make sure we had everything we needed.

Fantastic and Easy Going

My fiancé and I decided to get married with less than 40 days to plan a wedding and we reached out to many officiants. Rick, by far was the easiest and most understanding officiant that we came across. He understood our circumstances and the unique Halloween wedding we both wanted. He was helpful and so packed with information about pre- and post ceremony and about the licensing processes. Our wedding ceremony went exactly like we wanted and Rick was such a sweet and kind person. We are truly grateful in finding him for our ceremony.

Perfect ceremony, very responsive and helpful!

Rick was wonderful to work with for our wedding ceremony. We were a little last minute in contacting him and he was extremely helpful in walking through the process, ensuring we had all our ducks in a row, and he had some great sample ceremonies we could work from to ensure we had the best ceremony for us. He was on time, handle the ceremony just like we wanted, and was very helpful afterward in making sure we got everything handled appropriately for our license.

Great from start to end

This will be my pastor for life, he did not only marry us, but he became our counselor and helped with the ceremony from start to end, he is humble and patient, and very organized, welcome to the family
