Kyle A. Sent on 07/14/2023Amazing wedding experince!
We can't emphasize enough how impressed we were with Rick, our wedding officiant. From the moment we met him, he exuded professionalism and a genuine passion for his craft. Throughout the entire process, Rick went above and beyond to make our ceremony personalized and memorable.
One of the standout qualities of Rick's service was his ability to tell our love story in such a thorough and thoughtful manner. He took the time to truly understand our journey as a couple, and he seamlessly incorporated those details into the ceremony. Hearing our story being beautifully narrated in front of our loved ones was a truly heartwarming experience.
Rick's attention to detail was exceptional. He left no stone unturned when it came to preparing for our ceremony. He carefully crafted every word, ensuring that each sentence was meaningful and impactful. It was evident that Rick had invested a significant amount of time and effort into creating a ceremony that was unique to us.
Our guests couldn't stop raving about our ceremony. Many of them mentioned that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended, and we couldn't agree more. Rick's ability to engage and captivate the audience was remarkable. He struck the perfect balance between humor, sincerity, and romance, keeping everyone fully engaged throughout the ceremony.
What truly set Rick apart was his warm and genuine demeanor. He made us feel comfortable and at ease, even during the most nerve-wracking moments. His calm presence and soothing voice created an atmosphere of love and joy, setting the tone for the entire celebration.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience with Rick as our wedding officiant. He exceeded our expectations in every possible way, and we are eternally grateful for the incredible ceremony he delivered. If you're looking for someone who will take the time to understand your love story, create a personalized ceremony, and deliver it with professionalism and grace, Rick is the perfect choice. We highly recommend him to any couple looking to have a truly unforgettable wedding ceremony.aVow Ceremonies and Services's reply:

Rick was absolutely amazing! My husband and I were able to meet with him virtually (since we live out of state) before committing to his services and we were constantly in email communication as he worked on our ceremony. Rick provided lots of resources and previous ceremony transcripts for us to look through and was more than happy to include aspects we came up with ourselves/found elsewhere. Our main goal was to create a ceremony that was uniquely us, with a special emphasis on our loved ones given that most of them traveled great distances to be there that day. I had so many guests rave about him that day! He moved around during the ceremony to let the photographer get some shots with and without him in them and did not even need to be reminded to move for the first kiss. Rick guided me through questions I hadn't even considered, like which colors he should and shouldn't wear so as to not clash with the bridal parties and groom.
Overall, we would 1000% recommend Rick and aVow Ceremonies and Services to any and all engaged couples! -

We had the immense pleasure of having Rick as our wedding officiant, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the very beginning, Rick took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our love story, values, and vision for our ceremony. This personalized approach made all the difference, as it felt like a close friend was guiding us through one of the most important moments of our lives.
Rick crafted a ceremony that was uniquely ours, blending heartfelt moments with just the right touch of humor. The way he wove our personal anecdotes into the service brought tears to our eyes and smiles to our guests' faces. His warmth and sincerity were palpable, creating an atmosphere of love and connection that we'll always cherish.
On the day of the wedding, Rick was a calming presence, ensuring everything went smoothly and allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident, and we felt completely supported every step of the way.
We are endlessly grateful to Rick for making our ceremony so special and memorable. If you're looking for an officiant who genuinely cares and will create a personalized, heartfelt experience, look no further than Rick. He truly made our wedding day unforgettable. -

Choosing Pastor Rick to officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we met Pastor Rick, we were struck by his warmth, sincerity, and genuine interest in our story. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, he was incredibly supportive and accommodating, ensuring that our ceremony was not only beautifully spiritual but also personalized to reflect our relationship.
Pastor Rick has a remarkable gift for connecting with people and making them feel valued. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, which translated into a ceremony that felt uniquely ours. His presence exudes a peaceful reassurance, which was exactly what we needed on our wedding day.
We cannot thank Pastor Rick enough for making our ceremony so special. His professionalism, kindness, and spiritual guidance were invaluable to us, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond to create a smooth, meaningful and memorable wedding experience.

Rick was a professional from beginning to end. Very quick with all communication. He was flexible with our schedule and accommodating of our rehearsal/ceremony times. He spoke with us as a couple and then individually to ensure our ceremony was personalized. It was an added bonus to be able to have him handle the marriage license! We highly recommend Rick! -

Rick was so wonderful to work with for our wedding. He had so many resources for us to look through and made great suggestions for our ceremony. Rick has such great public speaking abilities which many of our guests commented on. We also appreciated that at times during our ceremony he would step off to the side so he wasn’t in the center of all of our photos. I would highly recommend him for those looking for an officiant on the central coast! -

Wedding ceremony of our dreams!
We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Rick. I contacted him a year before our wedding and he was immediately so responsive and helpful with the process of putting together a beautiful ceremony. He gave us countless resources of prayers and readings to add to our ceremony. He also told the story of how we met so perfectly just by us answering a few questions. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out on our wedding day. All of our guests kept telling us how amazing Rick was after the ceremony and how they’ve never heard such a detailed and loving ceremony before. -

Kiana R. Sent on 10/25/2023A Magical Wedding Ceremony with a Personal Touch
We recently had the pleasure of having Rick Comstock (Avow Ceremonies) as the officiant for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. From the moment we met Rick, we knew we had found the perfect person to lead our ceremony, and he exceeded our expectations in every way.
One of the most special moments of our wedding was when Rick told our love story during the ceremony. He took our separate perspectives on our journey and turned it into a beautifully crafted, cohesive rendition. It was as if he had known us for years and perfectly captured the essence of our relationship. He wove together the threads of our journey, making our love story the centerpiece of the ceremony. It was both heartwarming and incredibly personal, and our guests were captivated by every word. It felt like he had known us for years.
The impact of Rick on our wedding ceremony extended beyond just our own feelings. Our guests were equally enchanted and moved by the ceremony he conducted. Many of them shared with us that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. We had guests tell us that they had never laughed and cried so much during a single ceremony. Rick managed to strike the perfect balance between heartfelt sentiment and moments of joy and humor. His ability to engage our guests on an emotional level made the entire experience unforgettable not just for us, but for everyone in attendance.
In addition to his storytelling talents, Rick went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding ceremony was flawless. He attended our rehearsal to make sure that everything would run smoothly on the big day. His presence and guidance were invaluable in calming our nerves and ensuring that we knew exactly what to expect. This attention to detail and commitment to our special day helped us feel at ease and confident in every aspect of the ceremony.
Our wedding ceremony was a beautiful and emotional experience, and it wouldn't have been the same without Rick. We cannot express how grateful we are to have had him as our officiant. He brought an element of magic to our special day, and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for a wedding officiant who can turn their love story into a beautiful and unforgettable ceremony. Thank you, Rick, for making our day perfect!

Rick was an incredible officiant for our wedding! He took the time to meet with and get to know us and our relationship before he began writing our ceremony. He also provided an extensive amount of resources we could read through to pull inspiration from to help him create a ceremony completely unique to us. on the rehearsal and day of our wedding he made everything very clear regarding how the ceremony flow would go and he took the time to get to know our guests when there was free time. We truly couldn't have chosen a better officiant, so if you are looking for one, look no further!

Mandi Sent on 07/24/2023Felt like an old friend was marrying us.
From our very first conversation I knew that Rick was the one that was going to marry us! We met for a lunch meeting and it truly felt like we were having lunch with an old friend, immediate comfort and ease. He thoroughly explained the process and what our options were for our ceremony. He provided great resources and sample ceremonies to help curate our dream ceremony! I even accidentally spilled water on our marriage license after the ceremony and Rick went above and beyond to make sure our license got processed with the county properly. Great experience!!aVow Ceremonies and Services's reply:

My fiancé and I planned an intimate destination wedding in Paso Robles in June of 2022. My fiancé was unfortunately hit by a car while on a bicycle 3 weeks before our wedding. I had to postpone our wedding indefinitely. As I began the daunting task of notifying all our vendors and advising them of the cancellation, I reached out to Rick with the news. He immediately assured me I had nothing to worry about - he would refund my deposit immediately and then offered to help me by reaching out to any other vendors he could for me. I knew I had made the right decision in choosing Rick to Officiate our wedding! Fast forward one hard, long year later and our wedding was back on. I reached back out to Rick who was thrilled with the news. He helped us through the entire vow writing process making it so easy but also so personal. He is very attentive to detail and a pleasure to work with. Rick really helped to make our very delayed wedding very special. I guarantee you will be in good hands with Rick!aVow Ceremonies and Services's reply:

I was HONORED to meet you and Jose and share in your wedding.
Your love for each other, especially in having to face the heartache and hardship of Jose's accident and recovery is incredible and inspiring.
Thank you for the privilege you gave me in allowing me to be part of your special day. God bless you both, richly.
