Great wedding officiant!

We quickly connected with Rick on our first introductory call. It was clear he wanted to get to know us and our vision for the ceremony. He made it super easy on us by providing a typical ceremony outline and multiple options for wording for each part, so it was relatively simple to craft a ceremony that felt like us. Thanks Rick for being part of our special day!

Perfect Fit!

Words can not express our gratitude for Richard. We both feel so lucky to have had you officiate our wedding. We had looked through several officiants untill our planner recommend Richard and Richard was a perfect fit for us. Richard exceeded our expectations, from the phone conversations to meeting with you in person. Our wedding was remote and Richard was willing to Travel. Richard guided us throughout the process. Gave great insight and shared ideas . Truly professional and genuine!

He is a great officiant!

Richard was the kindest person and one of our most helpful vendors! He was very organized in his planning and made his services clear to us as well as flexible in tailoring our ceremony to the way that we wanted it exactly. On top of that he was proactive to work with our other vendors to make sure our ceremony went perfectly which it did! I highly recommend Richard!
