    Tybee Beach Wedding

    From the first phone conversation I had with Ewan, I knew he was the one. He is very professional and has a great sense of humor. Through the entire process leading up to our wedding day he kept in constant contact with us. His ceremony was loving, sweet and simple. Ewan created our dream wedding on the beach which was exactly what we had always wanted.

    Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:

    Lanette, thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute joy to help bring your dream Tybee Beach wedding to life. From our first chat, I could tell it was going to be something truly special—and I’m so glad it turned out just the way you imagined. Wishing you both endless love, sunshine, and happy memories ahead! ☀️💍🌊

    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 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!

    Tom & 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!

    Ewan was the best!!

    Ewan was the most professional and supportive officiant we could have asked for. He was attentive to all our needs and questions. He was personable and easy to connect with. He created a beautiful ceremony and made it beautiful and fun. We couldn’t recommend Ewan more! 10/10!

    Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:

    Megan, thank you so much for this lovely review – it truly means the world! From the moment we connected, I knew your ceremony would be something special. I’m so glad it felt fun, personal, and full of joy – just like the two of you. You were both such a pleasure to work with, and I feel honored to have been part of your day! 🙌✨

    Ewan Riccio-Laing

    Ewan was incredible! His attention to detail, organization skills and fun, kind, calming demeanor made our day perfect! Plus his Scottish accent was a treat to listen to. The addition of the hand fasting ceremony was a fantastic and unique experience ourselves and guests will remember. Definitely recommend him for all couples wishing to tie the knot!

    Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:

    Evelyn, thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a joy to be part of your special day, and I’m thrilled that the handfasting ceremony added a unique and memorable touch. I truly appreciate your recommendation and wish you both a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and love! 💕✨

    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! 🌊💍✨

    The 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! 💕✨

    A Lovely Scottish Vow Renewal

    For our 20th wedding anniversary, my husband and I wanted to recreate our wedding in a Scottish castle with a vow renewal and celebration in our home. How fortunate to have found a Scottish officiant right here in Savannah! Our vow renewal was truly beautiful. The words and poem spoken were unforgettable. And, how lucky for us that Ewan’s brother is an excellent bagpipe player! What a memorable event! Our guests loved it too and everyone was touched by the experience. I highly recommend Ewan and I thank him for making our day very special.

    Ewan Riccio-Laing | Professional Officiant & Celebrant's reply:

    Joyce, what an absolute joy it was to be part of such a meaningful celebration! Recreating your Scottish castle wedding for your 20th anniversary was truly special, and I’m so glad the ceremony captured the magic of your love story. Having the sound of the bagpipes add to the moment made it even more unforgettable! Thank you for your kind words and for allowing me to be part of your beautiful milestone. Wishing you and your husband many more years of love and happiness! 💙✨
