Morgan Sent on 07/09/2025The MOST special ceremony experience with Ewan!
My husband and I really struggled to figure out an officiant when planning our wedding, debating between friends or family members, and nothing felt quite right. We finally began the search for a professional, thinking that it would mean sacrificing the tenderness or the heartfelt bond that a close friend could bring... and boy were we wrong.
We found Ewan almost immediately, and let me tell you – he was an absolute godsend and made our ceremony more magical than I could have hoped! From the initial call, to the planning stages, and to the ceremony itself, Ewan had us feeling COMPLETELY at ease and so taken care of. He is so kind, so warm, and was just the best energy to have around during an otherwise stressful time.
So many of our guests told us the ceremony was their absolute favorite part of our wedding, and this was something I truly didn't expect! It was so warm, so unique, and so "us". The way we were able to hand tailor this experience and make our friends and family feel so included (with Ewan's helpful insight and leadership), I most definitely cannot imagine a better wedding ceremony for my husband and I.
Ewan, we are so so grateful! You are the best!Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:
Morgan, thank you so much for your beautiful words—what an absolute joy to read! I’m so grateful you found me, and it was truly an honor to help create a ceremony that felt uniquely and wholeheartedly you. From the very first call to the final “I do,” you both radiated love, and I’m thrilled your guests felt that magic too. Knowing the ceremony became such a cherished part of your day means the world. Wishing you both endless happiness and love in this next chapter! 💕✨ -

Ewan was professional, fun and completely unique! 5*’s for every aspect!
Ewan was nothing short of amazing! He really helped to make our ceremony completely unique to us and our families, he took the time to learn about us and our loved ones!
We were quite daunted at the thought of planning our ceremony until Ewan took us step by step and made the who thing simple and lots of fun!
On the day he delivered to the highest standard. He completely understood the tone and vibe that we wanted to set for the day!
He was amazing at every stage!Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:

Jessica Sent on 12/17/2024Ewan is amazing! Professional, prompt and gets it! Highly Recommend.
After our 1st (officiant) option "failed" (family member)- I was panicked to find a replacement. I must note: Ewan was certainly not the replacement, but who I should have reached out to day 1. He is incredible. Quick responses, open to ideas and changes- absolutely amazing to work with. Our ceremony was 100% customized and fit us as a couple. There were tears and laughs- exactly what we wanted. I received mountains of compliments from our wedding guests on how great Ewan was as our officiant. Do not waste time- Book Ewan.Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:
Jessica!! You are a dream! What an AWESOME day it was! Congrats to you both again! 🥂 Thank you for this review; it means so much to have been a part of your special day! -

Linda Sent on 03/20/2025Tom & Linda Savannah Elopement
Initially we had considered another officiant, but due to their lack of response time and lack of professionalism, we contacted Ewan. What a complete difference he was! From the first call, we knew he was the one to officiate our nuptials. He was prompt to respond to each call, text, or email. He was trustworthy, professional, charming, and accommodating.
We are so thankful we found Ewan, he's definitely met his calling!Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:
Linda & Tom, what an honor and true privilege it was to conduct your special ceremony. It was a joy to be a part of it and I am so glad that you appreciated the level of service I am always striving to offer to every single couple I am lucky enough to work with! Be well and stay happy! -

Tybee wedding
Ewan was so easy to work with. We had a small ceremony, we got married on Tybee Island at the beach. He helped us out by recommending a photographer (very reasonably priced) The ceremony was really nice and all our friends told us what a great job he did. If we decide to renew our vows in the future Ewan would definitely be involved.
10 star.Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:
Dave, thank you so much! It was such a pleasure to be part of your beautiful Tybee Island ceremony. I’m so glad the day felt easy and enjoyable—and I’m thrilled your friends loved it too! I’d be honored to be involved again if you ever decide to renew your vows down the line. Wishing you both lots of love and beachside happiness! 🌊💍✨ -

Erin Sent on 05/05/2025The Absolute Best!
Having Ewan marry us was the absolute easiest decision of our wedding planning process! He was attentive, easy going, kept us focused and most importantly the nicest, funniest and down to earth person ever. Ewan incorporated all of the important details into our ceremony and without him we would have been lost. Literally- he led the way! Haha. We are forever thankful for him and consider him a life long friend.Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:
Erin—your words truly mean the world to me. From the very start, it was a joy to work with you both, and being part of your day was something I’ll never forget. Thank you for trusting me to help guide such an important moment in your lives (literally! 😄). It’s couples like you that make this role feel less like a job and more like a lifelong connection. Wishing you endless happiness, laughter, and love in the years ahead! 💕👰🏼♀️🤵🏼♂️✨ -

From the first time I spoke with Ewan, I knew I wanted him to officiate our wedding ceremony. He felt like a friend from the beginning with his sweet, charming and comforting personality and he took so much care and interest into learning who my husband and I were as a collective unit, how we fell in love, how we wanted our love portrayed through words in the ceremony and exactly how we wanted the ceremony to go. His words were thoughtful and customized to my husband and I. Our ceremony was fun and at the same time tear jerking and Ewan made our vision of our ceremony come to life. He was very communicative throughout the process sending us options and revisions for our ceremony, different poems and options to make it absolutely perfect. If I could do it all over again, Ewan would be my first call again to officiate our wedding. I cannot Thank him enough for the amazing job he did!!!Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:
Kylie, thank you so much for this incredible review—it truly means the world! From our very first chat, I knew your ceremony would be something really special. Getting to know you both and bringing your love story to life with all the little personal touches was such an honor. I’m so thrilled it felt just right, both fun and meaningful (with a few happy tears thrown in!). If I could do it all over again with you two, I absolutely would. Sending you both so much love and gratitude! 💕✨ -
