I recently had the joy of photographing a wedding that Rich was the officiant at and I was just blown away by the beauty of the ceremony he performed. I would have guessed that he had known the couple for years because of the memories and moments that he shared of theirs. Turns out he just does his research and interviews the couple beforehand and gets to know a little bit about them. But still... he laughs with them and interacts during the ceremony he doesn't just read a script and leave it at that. I would highly recommend him for any wedding ceremony, I have been to hundreds of weddings and this one was really special because of the things he brought out in between the couple. I also loved that he steps to the side when the couple went to kiss, that is a very nice touch.

I absolutely love Rich as an officiant and I equally love what he can offer his clients beyond the day of their wedding. His experience, wisdom and his ability to unconditionally listen is a gift to any engaged and married couple. I strongly recommend Rich for your special day.

I've know Rich for more than 20 years, first as we pastored separate congregations in San Luis Obispo. We shared pulpits on occasion back then, but more importantly, he quickly became a trusted friend and valued mentor. I have witnessed many wedding ceremonies he performed for couples and always found them to be personal, heartfelt, inspiring, and appropriately light where it was needed. I highly recommend him as a wedding officiant. He is a good man who possesses insight and wisdom, and he has a wonderful way with words to make weddings feel inclusive and satisfying to couples of all kinds, along with their guests. I highly recommend him, and refer couples to him regularly. Please contact him for your wedding...you won't be disappointed! --- Rev. Don Toshach, The Wedding Rev./One-of-a-Kind Ceremonies.
