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.

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!
