Gianna A. Married on 11/14/2021Highly Recommend - Amazing Officiant!
Richard was so amazing to work with - from our first introduction call, navigating multiple postponements due to covid, writing the ceremony script and, of course, the wedding day ceremony. Richard is so thoughtful, kind and communicative. He made us feel so comfortable along the way and helped tailor the ceremony to be very personalized. We had a destination wedding and Richard made sure we had all of the instructions and details for the marriage license. Our wedding ceremony was so beautiful, thoughtful and special. It was exactly what we had hoped for and our family and friends loved it too. I cannot recommend Richard enough!Joyful Weddings & Events's reply:
Gianna and Joe: You both showed great patience through the wedding date changes. It was a pleasure working with you to co-author the ceremony. Your guests attention was riveted on the language of the heart. -

It was a Blessing!
It was such a Blessing to have Rev. Richard officiate our wedding! The many times we rewatched our wedding video and photos, for some reason it feels like Rev. Richard is part of our family. I can’t express enough of how thankful I am to him.
We were really impressed with his expertise of over 1,500 weddings. To our surprise, he used to be a Wedding Planner as well. He does not just simple officiate, but explains and applies so much psychology into the whole ceremony to capture guests’ full attention, as well as flexibly prepare for any surprises that could unexpectedly occur.
Rev. Richard is very detail-oriented and and understanding. We were very overwhelmed with the wedding planning process, but Rev. Richard was always there to patiently communicate and guide us.
And I don’t know what I was thinking at first to not invite him to the Rehearsal Day. It is a MUST! Meeting him in person to be guided with his valuable inputs is very important to ensure the Ceremony go smoothly on the Wedding day. Thank you again Rev. Richard for being our Officiant! -

Corinne C. Married on 03/04/2022A Ceremony that was "So Us"
We were fortunate enough to work with Richard for our Palm Springs wedding this year! After a phone call and filling out a questionnaire, Richard really got a sense of who we are as a couple and it showed during our wedding. Everyone said that the ceremony was "so us" and we are so grateful that Richard was able to capture that. He also helped us with the marriage license process and made everything super easy. -

Wonderful Memories
If you are looking for someone to be your officiant Richard is the man. Our wedding day was chaotic in a beautifully funny way and Richard stood by with guidance, patience and laughs. He made us feel relaxed and built instant connection. I would and will forever recommend him. Thank you for adding to our puzzle of pieces, and for being that missing one that fit perfectly. 10/10 -

Nanette I. Married on 04/09/2021Wonderfully Thoughtful Experience on the Big Day!
If you are looking for a knowledgeable and super kind wedding Minister to help make you wedding everything it should be, Richard is that person! He facilitated our ceremony with the utmost care and creativity, effortlessly thinking ahead to afford us every detail. What a memorable experience! We had the most memorable ceremony thanks in part to Richard! He came highly recommended by Randy, the wedding planner at the Parker Palm Springs, which we chose for our wedding ceremony and celebration. Such a lovely setting and a beautiful day! -

Jim B. Married on 03/27/2021Richard was great
Because of Covid we had some concerns about our small wedding but Richard assured us of his flexibility if we needed to reschedule. We communicated via phone and email so that he could get to know our story. Prior to the ceremony he sent an email with What he plan to say and asked us if we wanted to make any changes. The ceremony was just what we wanted. About 15 minutes in length with some personal anecdotes. Both of our families loved it. We highly recommend his services.Joyful Weddings & Events's reply:
Jim: Thank you for your kind words. The setting at the Chateau Lake La Quinta Inn helped your guests to remain focused, which I greatly appreciated. -

So lucky to have found Richard!
There are so many wonderful things to say about Richard Cadieux! Mostly is that he is a wholeheartedly good person that wants to make your wedding ceremony as beautiful and meaningful as possible.
From the very start, we enjoyed talking with Richard, he just makes you feel like you’re talking to an old friend! He took a lot of time during our initial conversation to learn about who we were as a couple and also to go over important details regarding our marriage license and permitting for our ceremony. Throughout the whole planning process, Richard was very friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. And then on our special day, he was on time, very professional, and greeted us with a great big smile!
Our ceremony was lovelier than I ever could have imagined. Richard’s warm and sincere presence put us completely at ease and his thoughtful words graciously guided us through an emotionally connected ceremony that touched our hearts.
We can’t thank Richard enough for helping make our day so special and we highly recommend him! -

Ed Barnhart A. Married on 03/03/2021Richard Cadieux is simply the best choice!
We are forever indebted to Richard and his skill set for making our wedding day so wonderful. He scripted the ceremony so perfectly in our casual setting to surprise some dear friends and family amongst us. We got our wish for close family and friends to share our venue with in a small but charming setting. Richard's light and friendly style was appreciated by all, especially us and we thank Richard again for being the person who married us. When we say he's the best, we mean it. We thank Richard with deepest sincerity from the two of us.

Michael L. Married on 11/22/2020Best Officiant In Palm Springs
Rev. Richard was the officiant for our small ceremony at the Dinah Shore Estate in Palm Springs in November 2020. Originally we were going to have one of our family members act as the officiant, but we are so happy we decided to work with Joyful Weddings. Rev. Richard helped us through the entire wedding process (including how to get a marriage license in the middle of a pandemic) and worked with us to create an intimate, personalized ceremony that we will never forget. He was also extremely responsive on text and email to all our little questions, which made the planning super easy and removed a bunch of stress. And maybe most important, Rev. Richard is a genuinely nice, warm, and respectful person and it is very clear from the moment you meet him that he loves being a wedding officiant. I would 100% recommend Rev. Richard to anyone looking for an officiant for their special day. -

Morgan S. Married on 08/08/2020Saved our Covid Wedding!
Back in March we had to cancel our wedding due to closures in Hawaii, my husband and I decided to have a tiny backyard wedding in Palm Springs instead. A week before the ceremony the country clerks office shut down due to the pandemic, canceling our appointment to get out marriage license, but Richard helped us obtain a private license just in time! Everything was amazing and I am so happy Richard was willing and available to officiate the ceremony. It was so personal and heartfelt. Could not have asked for a better officiant!
