Rita is an amazing Officiant

Rita was so accommodating and easy to work with. She was there at every step of the way providing us suggestions and tailoring our ceremony to reflect the both of us. People had asked us how long we had known her because of how genuine/personal the ceremony felt. We would DEFINITELY recommend her.

Amazing Experience

Rita is super nice, down to earth and very responsive. She was the finishing touch to our wedding and provided us with the nicest vow format. She had plenty of templates to choose from and let us cut out whatever we didn't want. She showed up to rehearsal on time and was very patient with me and my wedding party. The service was affordable and well worth it! She took care of our wedding license paperwork and answered questions even after the wedding. I would highly recommend her for your wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
