Our ceremony is now a memory for a lifetime!
Rick transformed our ceremony from (what we may have thought) an important formality into a truly meaningful moment. He spoke to our journeys and those of our families, and it was clear to us that he took the time to reflect on what all of this meant for us. We were extraordinarily moved and grew more connected through our vows.
Last but not least, Rick offered to perform the ceremony in his sunny backyard under a splendid pear tree; peaceful chickens wandering around completed the idyllic atmosphere.
We couldn't have wished for a better way of celebrating our union. We will forever be grateful for Rick's crucial role in those 30 minutes that changed our lives!... -

Great experience!
It was our best decision to ask Rick to officiate our small ceremony. He made it feel very special! As a bonus he sent us a video of the ceremony which none of our family took 😂we highly recommend Rick! -

What an amazing service.
We only gave 3 days notice and Rick was there for us. Such a lovely guy. We found the setting at Redwood Ridge Near to San Francisco. We had prepared the licence in advance. Rick agreed to meet us there. Such a beautiful day and he was great. He sent us a video of the occassion which we can fondly look back on. We still can't believe how Rick managed to do this , so well, on such short notice. -

Marriage Ceremony
Rick provided us an excellent experience in planning and conducting our Marriage ceremony. He kept all invitees engaged with his beautifully crafted speech and delivery. We absolutely loved the humor and emotional touch he added in his speech!
Most of our invitees were experiencing an American wedding ceremony for the first time, and all of them truly enjoyed the experience!
Rick took deep interest to know my wife and I personally so that he could craft a speech that reflects our relationship.
I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking to get married!
Thank you, Rick! You made our big day even more memorable! -

We were so happy that we decided to have Rick officiate our wedding. He told our story in the most beautiful way in his speech, he gave amazing advice for our married life and just made our special day even more special.

A fantastic experience!
Rick was absolutely WONDERFUL as our officiant!! My husband and I are non-wedding people. We don't like the fuss and hoopla. So how do two non-wedding people get married? We found Rick! My husband and I felt really good about him as soon as we got to talk to him. He is warm, friendly, and sweet. Truly the kind of person you want doing this very important job for a very meaningful and emotional moment in your life.
What Rick brought to our wedding and the whole experience of our ceremony went beyond anything I could have imagined. He really took in and reflected on who we are as a couple based on the information I provided him. His words were beautiful, thoughtful, and very moving. I am so happy that he married my husband and I. 😊

Wonderful officiant!
Rick was a wonderful officiant, and he put so much care, attention, and thoughtfulness into our ceremony. At our very first meeting with him, he took the time to learn more about our story and love, and was then able to translate our relationship into a personalized wedding ceremony. He's an excellent communicator, and very responsive. I highly recommend him! -

Rick Kaplowitz- Renewal of vows
Rick was extremely professional. He took his time to explain to me in detail what the experience would be like. I listened while I explained what my husband and I wanted. He even gave us insight as we were not very familiar with San Francisco. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful and tailored just for us. His words were absolutely touching to both myself and my husband. I cannot say enough great things. If you are looking, look no more. Rick is your man for an amazing experience. -

Great Experience! Accommodating and Genuine.
Me and my husband were looking to have an elopement ceremony. I found Rick via Wedding Wire and sent him a request. He called me within 30 minutes and confirmed our date. Rick was so accommodating considering our date was the day before Thanksgiving and with less than a 30 day notice. He sent us an email asking to about how we met, shared experiences, etc. He incorporated that into our wedding vows in a way that felt like a recap of mine and my husbands relationship. He married us under a Pear tree where he married his wife over 25 years ago. It was very sweet. Overall, it was very a great experience and I am very happy we had Rick to ordain our wedding. -

Great insight!
Rick performed a meaningful ceremony with great insight into our needs in a timely, affordable and comfortable manner. Without much to work with, his words divined the nature of our relationship, its challenges and its promise for the future. He emphasized the positivity of it all and was flexible during COVID to allow us to share with our family afar.
For point of reference, we did a simple elopement in his backyard. Very nice place and handy to get to.

We highly recommend Rick!
We loved having Rick as the officiant for our wedding. He really took the time to learn our story and wrote a beautiful ceremony which reflected our personalities and relationship fantastically, and captured the tone and style we were looking for in a wedding ceremony.
He was very organized and communicative with us throughout the process, and his easy-going nature helped calm our nerves leading up to the ceremony. He went through all of our options for every stage of the ceremony (things we hadn't even thought of!) and we decided together what we wanted to include. He also setup a recording of the ceremony which we really appreciated afterwards.
Overall, we thought he was very professional and experienced and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful officiant! -

Everything was perfect!
We got engaged on Dec. 29, 2019 and we wanted to do an elopement/civil wedding on 02-02-2020 (we wanted to secure this date). We found Rick at the very last minute for a simple elopement. He is very professional and kept communication with us throughout and explained the process in detail. He asked for "our story" and he delivered every special moment of our story in the ceremony beautifully. We couldn't have asked anyone to marry us. This was a very specially day and everything was perfect thanks to Rick! -

Rick was perfect for our little wedding
Our wedding officiant "Rick" was prompt, courteous, pleasant-mannered, and created a perfect little speech for our wedding that I felt covered our values as a couple. I never felt rushed in the slightest, and he made it seem like we were the only ones he was doing (in reality he had another that same day he said when I asked). My wife and I wanted a very low-key wedding in the woods that we had hiked many times before our marriage, and he took my advice on the location and made it work for all of us! He also took care of all the necessary paperwork after, so we didn't have to worry about those technicalities during this very special time. I would definitely recommend him to a friend, be it a small or large wedding. -

He Set the Tone for our Perfect Day
Rick was a great choice to officiate our wedding in October 2019. After reaching out to him, he welcomed us into his home to learn more about us individually, as a couple and what we're looking for in our wedding. Rick has a warmth about him and we felt comfortable instantly. He was the first officiant we meet with, and we didn't bother meeting with anyone else because we knew he was the one we wanted.
Leading up to the wedding Rick was great about providing the script for us to edit as needed, and he sent gentle reminders to submit revisions and send our vows. At the ceremony he was engaging and set the tone we wanted for our special day - warm, welcoming and lighthearted.
Rick is a professional, he knows what he's doing and he's accommodating. We couldn't have chosen a better person to officiate our wedding. Thank you, Rick! -

Rick was our officiant for our wedding this past weekend and we couldn’t have asked for more. He personalized our service and made it special. We felt like we knew him for years. I highly recommend using Bay Area Ceremonies if you are looking for an officiant. -

Rick is one in a million.
Quite honestly a couple could not ask for a better officiant for their wedding than Rick. His warmth, intelligence, kindness and thoughtfulness will make your special day incredible. Rick will surprise you with how amazing his attention to detail is. He will lower your stress level, brilliantly guide your decisions and share in your joy. We are in your debt Rick. Thank you for being who you are. -

We are from Canada and decided to elope while visiting the Bay Area for a Raiders game. We found Rick in conjunction with Google and WeddingWire. After emailing him he responded with a phone call and answered our questions regarding out of country marriages and also offered some other outdoor venue ideas. Rick performed a personalized ceremony for us with no religious content (at our request), including a reference to the Raiders game we attended the day before. We feel as though we could not have found anyone better to officiate our ceremony, the Bride was so impressed that she said she would love to have him officiate again (hopefully for renewing vows). -

We were blessed to have Rick officiate for us last Saturday! We met with Rick a few months before the wedding day and his warm and friendly demeanor made it easy to talk with him about our plans. He listened to our ideas, and when asked for tips and suggestions, he had many that we incorporated into our script. This included performing a sand ceremony as a symbol of our union, which was a really neat addition. He also had a great list of potential readings for the ceremony, which we went through and chose ones that were most meaningful to us. Rick guided us through all the steps of the ceremony, was always responding to our questions promptly, and did a great job during the ceremony of keeping the atmosphere warm and down-to-earth. I would highly recommend Rick to any couple looking for an officiant for their wedding! -

Rick performed our son's beautiful Naming Ceremony. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. From the start Rick was keen to understand our family, our beliefs and what we wanted in a ceremony. He was patient, friendly and relaxed over the phone. He sent drafts and wonderful suggestions. We were keen to incorporate spirituality but part of our family is not religious and he was able to find away to incorporate everyone's unique religious and non-religious beliefs. On the day he was perfect - kind, professional, at ease and brought a wonderful energy to the ceremony. We couldn't recommend Rick more highly! He's absolutely lovely. -

Rick was amazing to work with. Very pleasant and warm-hearted. We are a same-sex couple and we met Rick at his home and knew right away that he was the one to officiate our wedding. He tailored our ceremony to our style and really listened to our story, which he incorporated into the ceremony. We had a lot of guests say that they enjoyed his monologue - funny and light-hearted. We definitely recommend Rick for your special day! -

Initially my fiancé found someone else for this event and I was asked to purchase a postal money order for her. I looked her up and quickly kept looking. Once I found Rick’s site I began to feel more at ease. Rick didn’t fail to deliver the best ceremony for us. He was attentive, engaging and focused the entire way tailoring the service to our life story. -

Rick was a perfect choice for our officiant. He was easy to get in touch with, quick to setup a call so we could get to know each other. He was incredibly organized and made the planning process for our ceremony incredibly easy and stress-free and delivered a beautiful wedding ceremony for us. I am so glad we went with Rick and I highly recommend him! You won't be disappointed. -

Rev Rick came highly recommended and my husband and I understand why.
Words truly can’t describe the level of service he provided to us, from beginning to the very end.
With only a letter and a few short correspondences back and forth he knew exactly what to say, and exactly what we wanted. He made our ceremony personable and was genuine and caring.
We continue the support in highly recommending Rev. Rick and look forward to utilizing his services again.

Thank You Rick!! We were truly blessed to have you as our wedding officiant. Rick is very joyful, professional and have great sense of humor. Through out our time we kept changing our plans but Rick patiently accommodated all those requests and in fact keenly suggested some wonderful ideas that helped us in finalizing our wedding location. He is very friendly and wrote wonderful wows for us. During our wedding he treated like a family member, which shows how great person he is. I would definitely recommend him to all the couples planning to get married and to make their wedding special. Thank you once again Rick, to make our life time moment memorable and beautiful. -

Rick is very accommodating, our busy schedules prevented us from meeting Rick in person so Rick scheduled a Skype Video meeting where he basically hear our life stories. Rick was very detailed about understanding where we came from and our history together, through this Rick created a personal story to present during the Wedding Ceremony.
Rick was a great choice for us as her personalized our Ceremony and vows, I know for sure he will be a wonderful choice for anyone who decides to go with him. -

I am still so happy that I chose Rick as my wedding officiant two weeks ago. My husband and I are a gay couple and Rick made us feel valued and centered during the ceremony in SF City Hall. We appreciate everything Rick did for us - getting there an hour earlier than we originally requested, getting ready for everything, filing the license back to the county clerk super fast, making us entertained all the time, and the most importantly, provided us with a moving speech and an unforgettable marriage experience. Thank you, Rick! -

We were having difficulty finding an officiant for our needs and budget. My husband and I wanted a short non-denominational ceremony that still reflected our history as a couple. Rick was very open with what services he provided and guided us on the structure of the ceremony. He also offered to have us email our wedding vows to him so he would provide them to us during the ceremony. A lovely man who did a perfect job for our wedding. -

Rick was great! Very professional, prepared, prompt, and collaborative. We spent a session with him getting to know us and about our story. After that, he prepared a script, which we were able to modify as needed. He also sent a reminder when it was time to get our marriage license. He was great at our rehearsal and the wedding, taking last minute requests from family for changes in stride. The ceremony was beautiful and several people commented on what a great job he did, how it seemed like he'd known us forever. Really made the most amazing day even better. -

When my wife and I decided that we wanted to get married we didn't know much about how to chose the person that would officiate our wedding. After spending some time looking we found Rick' s website and we thought that he seem like a good fit based on the reviews we read, but we were still a little worried since we had no idea if it was going to work out. After contacting him directly he talk to us and emailed us with all the questions he had for us and to confirm everything was going well for us with the wedding it self. He offered the best service someone can ask for and I'm very thankful that he was there for us when we needed it the most. -

Rick was amazing! He met up with us for a free consultation to ensure that we were a good match and was very informative!!! Within hours we were sent a mock up of our ceremony based on what we discussed at the consultation and we loved it! Our ceremony was perfect, personalized, and smooth. Even weeks after we were married Rick answered all my questions about next steps for the process in obtaining our marriage certificate! Amazing and well worth the $ !!!!!!! -

Rick was fantastic every step of the way. We decided kind of last minute to have an officiant (original plan was to get legally married before the big day) and Rick, thank goodness, was available. I could tell from the first phone conversation that he was kind, organized, and efficient. My fiance and I both loved him and appreciated all of his help and advice. Rick was present for our rehearsal and was the only reason we could wrangle our crazy family into a lovely and elegant ceremony. Rick helped us craft a ceremony that many people said was one of the best they've seen- heartfelt, with a few touches of laughs and tears. Thank you for everything! -

Rick was wonderful and very understanding and flexible. I was in a car accident the day before the wedding was hospitalized for 2 and a half weeks and was on bedrest not able to walk for 4 months and wasn't able to have the wedding until 8 months later. For that I am truly thankful for everything. He even checked up I me to see how I was doing. Thank you for making our wedding expressions special! -Savanna and David -

My wife and I chose to go with Rick for our quick and casual ceremony. We were pretty sure we'd stick with him based just on reasonable pricing, but when he responded to our request just a few hours later we were sold! We planned our wedding pretty last minute and we weren't sure if we'd be able to find anyone on short notice, so we were very happy to hear back from him so quickly! Rick was professional (but not stuffy!) through the whole experience, and our simple ceremony in the side yard of his house was exactly what we were looking for. He used details from the information we gave about ourselves and really incorporated it into our ceremony so that it felt personalized and unique to us. His humor was a big plus, as well! We highly recommend Rick for any ceremony -- if he helped make our simple, quick ceremony special and personal, we can only imagine what he can do for a grander event! -

Rick was fantastic! He answered all my questions so when the big day came, I was confident that our ceremony would be unforgettable. I was right - he was very professional, friendly and made our ceremony very personal. I would definitely refer him to anyone looking for an officiant. Our ceremony was held at San Francisco's City Hall and he found the perfect spot for us and made us both feel at ease. Thank you so much, Rick! Well done! -

Rick is very professional and takes care of every little detail. We did a small simple ceremony at his place. He guided us through everything we needed about getting married (when/where to apply for and submit the marriage license, etc). He was very responsive. During the planning, we had to reschedule our wedding time and added more guests. He was able to respond and meet our request very quickly. He made us feel much taken care of. Before the ceremony, he asked us to give him our pictures and paragraphs about us. He incorporated our story in his opening words! This made us feel our ceremony is really for us. He recorded our ceremony. After a few days, he sent us an edited recording, good quality recording. I really appreciate it. Btw, he mentioned to me he only shares the recording if the quality is good enough. We are very lucky!
Overall, highly recommended! The other option we had was to do a civil ceremony at the SF city hall. But we are very glad that we decided to work with Rick. It was more intimate, special, and hassle-free! -

I would truly highly recommend his services as he is a very easy going professional officiant with a very friendly manner about him. He get's a 10+ from my husband and I.......... Thanks so much Rick, you made it all work for us! 2017

We wanted to get married on January 1st, and I started my search for an officiant three weeks before the 1st. I experienced sticker shock from the high prices, but Rick Kaplowitz at Bay Area Ceremonies was one of the few who offered a range of packages based on the type of ceremony. We wanted to get married on an antique carousel with three witnesses, so we qualified for Rick’s “elopement/short-notice” ceremony package. Not only is Rick’s pricing flexible and affordable, but he’s a good writer who can take any situation, any history or interest and write a fun and memorable ceremony. In our case, we needed a ceremony under three minutes (the carousel ride was three minutes), and Rick wrote a great, humorous ceremony that spoke to our shared interests. He was also on time and knew exactly what to do, which is what you want when you’re getting married, especially on a carousel! -

We were supposed to get married at the Clerk-Recorder's office on 11/11/16 just because we wanted it to fall on 11/11. To make it short, everyone that we invited already took time off's only to realize that it falls on Veteran's Day and they will be closed! We scrambled for someone who can marry us and found Rick who does last minute ceremonies. It was short, sweet and our small number of guests mainly our parents teared up a bit while we were getting married in the fall afternoon next to a peach tree. Sure beats getting married in an office just to make it official! We're actually glad it fell on Veteran's Day and found Rick! Thank you so much Rick! -Chris and Cass -

Rick wrote a lovely ceremony for us. It was light hearted, personal, and unique, and our friends and family have told us that it was a genuine reflection of us, which was exactly what we wanted. He was also timely with responding to our questions, and very accommodating to incorporating our feedback regarding the ceremony script. We recommend Rick highly! -

We were able to complete the ceremony with no problems in the beautiful city hall. Highly recommend him as an officiant. He listens to your needs as a couple and puts together the vows or you can create your own. Thank you so much for being there for us on our special day.

Rick was fantastic to work with! We were looking for an officiant for a very small low-key, simple civil ceremony in Mountain View. From our first call with Rick we knew we wanted to go with him. He is very easy going and professional. We didn't have a rain plan (being in California...drought and all) but Rick was super accommodating. He picked up our phone calls/emails the night before to discuss possible backup plans and location changes. In the end, we had our nice small ceremony in the rain (location decided on the day of) and Rick was super supportive of the romantic setting. We would highly recommend Rick's services to anyone! -

Rick was absolutely amazing! I contacted Rick the day before our boys blessing. He was very quick to respond to my email and phone call. He was very professional and friendly when getting to know me and what exactly we wanted for the ceremony. The day of the ceremony he was very prompt and even waited until my aunt arrived as she was running late. Rick's words were so beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I could have not found a better officiant and we highly recommend Rick. Our boys blessing and day was filled with love and was performed perfectly, Thank you Rick! -

Rick is one of the most beautiful warm and genuine people I have met. Our ceremony was the perfect mix of sincerity, intimacy, joy and humor. We were lucky to meet up with Rick and his wife a few days later on our drive down Hwy 1 and we feel we now have new friends in the Bay Area. Thank you so much, from the Aussie girls!! -

Rick is an amazing officiant! He took the time to sit with us and understand what we wanted, from there he tailored a unique and special wedding ceremony that reflected our wants. We wanted to include bilingual elements in our ceremony as well, and we were able to. Along the way, Rick was very responsive and was a great resource for ideas and for editing of our vows. We both had a fantastic experience. I would recommend Rick to anyone including couples seeking a bilingual ceremony. He is fun, professional and experienced. -

Rick was absolutely amazing in the way he communicated with us prior to the ceremony, to ensure he had all the personal and important information about us, and on the day the ceremony was perfect.
We had a double wedding, and the way this was handled on the day was perfect also - both couples felt that our unique vows and readings were given the focus they needed.
Rick is professional, warm, genuine and an amazing communicator - really quick to respond, providing all the information and guidance needed about the formalities, and just a genuinely wonderful human being.
Thank you - from the girls from Aus -

Rick was amazing to work with. He communicated thoroughly every detail and created a ceremony that was so very personal and heartfelt despite the fact that he had never even met us in person. He was super accommodating with our location and helped us find the perfect nook between two redwoods to perform our ceremony. Rick is a very genuine soul and we feel he was the perfect person to have been there with us on that wonderful day. We would recommend him to absolutely anyone! -

Based on the couples ideas, Rick was able to provide the best ideas for location, timing and logistics for my friends ceremony. Rick is engaging, authentic and eager to contribute to the love and energy of the ceremony. Rick was able to capture and communicate the couple's loving journey from the day they met to their future lives together. While the most one can expect is professionalism Rick added a more important dimension of joy, energy and a connection with the couple and their guests. -

Rick was the very best! He was not only very accommodating, but also very professional. He took the time to get to know our story and incorporated that into our ceremony! What he provided us was something so special, personal, & memorable.
Thanks so much, Rick!

Rick was great.
Everybody thought he had the perfect mix between making jokes and being serious.
He adapted the ceremony to our requests made at the last moment.
He even filled all the papers on the spot right after the ceremony for us as we were on a timeline to receive the marriage certificate.
Thanks a lot Rick! -

Working with Rick was a wonderful experience. Our ceremony was nothing short of perfect and better than we could ever imagine. Even though just a few emails were exchanged it was as if Rick had known us for years. Rick was extremely professional and helpful every step of the way, offering tips and guidance. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get married in the Bay Area. -

Rick Kaplowitz of Bay Area Ceremonies officiated our wedding and we couldn't have found a better person to do so. He was professional yet made the whole experience very personal. From start to end he made sure everything went without a hitch. -

I feel truly blessed to have had Rick perform my wedding ceremony. It is just a couple of weeks since my wedding and guests continue to tell me how much they enjoyed Rick. Rick was very helpful, if you are new to how weddings work, I would suggest Rick because he will take time to go over every detail with you. Rick was very open and flexible with with my husband and I. He even did a Skype phone call with his so we could meet each other. I would highly recommend him.
I would suggest to any couple not to wait to long to find their officiant. -
