Professional, Friendly, and Easygoing

Ronald was a great officiant. He demonstrated balance between guiding and listening to us while we decided what our ceremony would look like. He accommodated our requests, and offered help when we didn't know what we wanted our special day to look like. I'd hire him again, but let's not plan for that!

Flexibility and Care is Key

We hired Ron for our wedding after having a bad experience with a different officiant. Little did we know the kind of quality service, care, and compassion we would receive! Ron was able to make a long drive for a minimal upcharge, and arrived with plenty of time to help organize the ceremony. The script was very personal and he really embodied the kind of wedding we wanted. He is a great speaker, and has wonderful recommendations on how to put together a stunning ceremony. He is thoughtful, and had multiple meetings with us to make sure communication was clear. Thanks for the help Ron! You were wonderful!

Simply amazing

Ron was the perfect fit to officiate our wedding. He embodies everything we were looking for in an officiant and more! He was compassionate, straight forward and clear so we always knew what to expect next, & above all he went out of his way to make our day as stress free and fun as possible. He also provided us with great tips, advice, and recommendations that made our ceremony even more memorable.

Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with!

IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE HONOR to have had Ronald officiate our wedding!!! He made sure that our ceremony would be exciting for our guests (because we all know how boring those can be) and planned it out with us so it would be exactly what we wanted and we’d be comfortable. He even attended the rehearsal to ensure everything went off without a hitch. THANK YOU SO MUCH Ronald for an unforgettable experience and for tolerating the heat and sweat on that hot day! :) P.S. Looking forward to grabbing lunch with you when we're on the west side.

Greatest day ever

Robert made our wedding, which was a surprise to our entire family, the greatest day ever. My wife and I planned our wedding as a shower and surprised everyone with the actual ceremony. Robert made the entire process easy and stress free for the two of us. We really appreciated that Robert gave us templates of different ceremonies styles to chose from, but also allowed us to modify them to fit what we were looking for so that it fit our personalities. We could not have been more pleased with Roberts professionalism and carefree nature; anyone would be as amazed by him, just as we were.
