    Wonderful officiant

    My husband and I had such a beautiful wedding ceremony thanks to Capt Ray! He prepared such beautiful words that really incorporated our love story and our family in such a way there wasn’t a dry eye in the house! Our day wouldn’t have been what it was without his officiating.

    Captain Ray was professional, stayed in touch through the entire planning process, put together a delightful ceremony, and was very pleasant.

    Captain Ray was professional, polite, friendly, and fun to be around. He helped us plan the wedding, including putting together a beautiful ceremony. He stayed in touch throughout the entire planning process and came early to the ceremony site to make sure all was ready and everything ran smoothly. My wife and I will always have happy memories of a day that Captain Ray was a vital part.

    Captain Ray was the perfect choice for us

    My husband and I were so fortunate to have found Captain Ray to officiate our ceremony. We were from out of state, so we met with him virtually to walk through our story and he made the process so easy for us. He created a very thoughtful ceremony script that touched on so many unique aspects of our relationship. His kind, calm and professional demeanor helped to calm our nerves. We couldn't be happier with the way the ceremony was delivered and are so thankful for his time and effort towards our most special day. Thank you, Captain Ray!

    Best Decision Ever!

    We hired Captain Ray to officiate our wedding because my Husband is a Yacht Captain. He was on time, so friendly and after asking us many questions about us during our first meeting, came up with the most beautiful ceremony, almost as if he'd known us for years. On our wedding day, he was so impressive in his uniform, well prepared and everything went just as planned. He delivered our license to the local courthouse the very next business day and emailed us the stamped copy that same day. He was outstanding! Definitely one of our best decisions for our wedding day.

    Captain Ray Became Part of Family

    Captain Ray was easy to work with, flexible, and trustworthy. Best of all he has a kind and gentle spirit - the perfect compliment for a special day. We decided to elope and Captain Ray became the unofficial representative for all our missing family members. We can highly recommend him for two or two hundred. Thank you, Captain Ray!

    Heartfelt wedding Ceremony

    Captain Ray was a pleasure to work with. He made sure our ceremony was exactly how we wanted it. He created a story so our friends and family could know just how much we loved and cared for each other. We had guests coming up to us raving about the ceremony and how they have never heard a wedding ceremony so thoughtful and personalized. It was truly a magical day! Thank you Captain Ray for such a great experience!

    Perfect! Absolutely the best choice!

    Captain Ray was absolutely the best! We came from out of state, so we emailed and had one video chat, that's all that was needed. He wrote the most amazingly, perfect ceremony for us, I cried the first, 2nd and 3rd time I read it! Our family and friends raved about him and thought that he was a friend that had known us for years, what he wrote was THAT good and he delivered it just as well! He was light hearted, witty, sincere, and overall a breeze to work with- made the WHOLE process so easy, especially with getting married in a different state! I would choose him over and over again. You will not be disappointed!

    Captain Ray for President!

    Captain Ray made our wedding more special that we could have imagined. The care he put into the ceremony, the kindness and compassion he showed on our wedding day and leading up to it, and his organized execution of the administrative tasks made him our wedding angel. We are forever grateful.

    Best way to get married!

    I booked the Sea Captain for my mom's wedding, he was super nice, charismatic, smart, punctual and made everyone feel relaxed and fun. I am going to book the Sea Captain for my own wedding when the day comes!

    Capt Ray was the storybook anchor

    He couldn’t have executed the wedding in a more loving and perfect manner. From the way he starts off with wanting to know our story, to how he delivers his words during the ceremony, it was truly perfect. You can tell this is something he loves to do. I can’t imagine having someone else marry us. Check the link out just to hear his storybook voice from our wedding. PERFECTION

    After covid cancellations, the captain came through!

    We had to cancel our Maui wedding. Shorten the story, moved it to Florida and needed an officiant. Captain Ray worked with us and made our impromptu wedding fantastic. His grace and thoughtfulness made our experience wonderful. Thank you!

    Calm, Cool & Collected - Captain Ray has you covered!

    From the moment you meet Captain Ray you know you are in good hands! There is a sense of care and attention that must go into the creation and reading of the wedding vows. Captain Ray has this and truly puts his love into the ceremony. Not only did he share meaningful excerpts and readings, but he customized it to my husband and I. He even went as far to meet up with us, at a local brewery of all places. This allowed for him to get familiar with us and understand our relationship further. He was calm, cool, and collected as he took charge of the ceremony. If you are looking for a full service officiant that will care about one of the most important days of your life Captain Ray is your guy! If you aren't sold yet, just talk to him and you'll quickly be reassured.

    Highly Recommend Captain Ray for your Big Day!

    Captain Ray married us at the Cape Florida Lighthouse in Key Biscayne and the ceremony was absolutely beautiful. He was extremely responsive and easy to work with in the days leading up to our wedding. On the day of he arrived early and was fully prepared. We can't thank him enough!

    Fantastic!

    Captain Ray officiated our beautiful wedding and was exactly what we could have asked for. We met a few weeks in advance to chat and give him our story, and he personalized the ceremony with all of it. He was even prepared (or quick on his feet) to change up his reading when rain forced us from the beach to the intracoastal side of the island on a terrace instead. We’d dreamed of being married near the water and by a sea captain, but Captain Ray delivered and then some!

    Captain Ray is amazing!!

    Captain Ray was extremely responsive & professional! He met us prior to our wedding to gain an understanding of our story & personalities. Within days of meeting Captain Ray had a beautiful sermon that took into account our venue & our story. Weeks before our wedding we had to change our venue & Captain Ray had an updated sermon turned around in a day. At the ceremony Captain Ray was on point, professional, caring & loved by all! We will definitely use his services every year we renew our vows & is highly recommended.

    From the moment we met Captain Ray, we knew he was the man for the job. He was so personable, easy to talk to, and genuinely interested in getting to know us. We met for coffee and he asked questions of how we met and what made ours a unique love story. He talked about the ceremony and what we wanted to include or exclude, but he also asked about our families and our individual histories and really got to know who we are. By the next day, he had already composed a basic script for the ceremony that showed he was really listening to what we said and humorously recounted how our story evolved to the point of marriage. The best part of Captain Ray presiding over your wedding is that he creates a ceremony that is about you. He tells your story to your guests, which makes them feel like they are a part of the ceremony as well. He allows you input into what you want him to say, what rituals to include, and even the wording of your vows so that it is a truly personalized day.
    Captain Ray graciously worked with us to insure there was a space in our ceremony where my father could give his own blessing. It meant the world to us to have that time for my dad to take part in our day as well, and it speaks to how important it is to Captain Ray to make sure you have everything you want in your wedding. Genuinely a nice man we were very happy with him.

    At some point in the process of planning our wedding, we eventually realized we needed an officiant. Who could it be? A family member or a close friend? Our wedding took place on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in Miami Beach, and we needed someone who could command the wild and unpredictable nature of the ocean; someone who could guide us through unfamiliar territory. We were so happy and lucky to have found Captain Ray, he was the perfect person for the task at hand. We found him online, and a couple months before the wedding, we met up with him because he wanted to get to know us. We talked for awhile, he asked us various questions and he learned how we met each other, what we have in common, our interests, etc... A short time later, he sent us his ideas and outlines for our ceremony. We were able to work together to customize and make adjustments, he came up with a beautiful and personal script that was unique to our lives, filled with love, humor and poetry. Our friends and family were complimenting the ceremony and Captain Ray for days and weeks after, they keep asking us questions on how did we come up with all that. Captain Ray's pacing and choice of words and timing, all feels perfect. It was wonderful to collaborate with him. We felt like he was one of the family or one of our close friends. It was a truly special and unique experience. We highly recommend Captain Ray to officiate your wedding. He will do his research and go the extra mile to make your wedding a personal, unique and memorable one. Thank you Captain Ray! From Shaun and Cristy with love!

    Ray was a blessing to have officiate our wedding! From the first minute sitting at a Starbucks, Ray just got us. His speech was amazing, of course with some injection of our own, but he hit the nail on the head.... and by the way our arch hit him in the head... SORRYY RAY we love you!

    Simply the best, 110% hire if you're looking!

    Captain Ray was a thoughtful choice for my fiancé and I. Of course, my description of Ray, in uniform, officiating our wedding, made my fiancé a little uneasy. We both agree that the ceremony is the most important part of the day and had to discuss "does a stand out officiant diminish that scared part?" Needless to say we agreed to move forward in asking Ray to marry us.

    Upon meeting Ray in person (at no additional charge), any apprehension flew out the door. We talked easily, like family friends, he has a way of making you comfortable and want to open up about your history.

    The first draft of our ceremony was jaw dropping. He 'got us'. His words were so beautiful, so personal, our final draft had only minor adjustments from the first. The day of ceremony Ray was incredible. He looked great, sounded great, it was a beautiful day. We are so happy that we chose with book with Married by A Sea Captain, it was both memorable and emotional.

    Captain Ray Goad was a perfect fit for our nautical beach mermaid wedding. He was a pleasure to work with. He customized our vows to fit our wishes and made our ceremony a dream come true. I can't say enough great things about his service! I highly recommend him for any type of wedding not just a themed one like ours.

    There are not enough nice words to describe how much we loved working with Captain Ray. Everything about our experience with him was great. Even with the several obstacles we presented (our decision to look for an officiant like him with less than 2 months to the wedding, getting married on a cruise ship, and the ship being over an hour late to board due to customs) he was spectacular. My only concern prior to speaking with him was going into a ceremony an not feeling at ease with a "stranger", but immediately we felt comfortable with him. Given the limited interaction we had due to our time crunch Captain Ray still managed to quickly perceive our relationship and we were delighted when he agreed to write his own retelling of our love story. He understood us and what marriage meant to us perfectly. Coordinating day of we were asking quite a bit of him and his time due to boarding, but he was wonderful and completely accommodating. Our ceremony was perfect and he brought exactly the amount of authority and grace we had always dreamed of. He spoke loud and clear, pausing appropriately to let meaningful moments sink in, and was the perfect calm to the excitement and little bit of chaos that was our wedding day.
    Thank you Captain Ray!

    Captain Ray was eager to learn about our personal story of how we met and our pasts to get a better idea of who we are both as a couple and individuals! He used this to create a beautiful personolized service. He accommodated as many revisions as we required and gave a beautiful wedding. I would most definitely recommend the good Captain to any of my friends!

    I wish I could give Captain Ray 10 stars for flexibility. Our original officiant cancelled 3 days before our Wedding. My husband found Captain Ray and in 2 days he wrote us a beautiful, personalized script. He made the day so much more special and I'm so glad we found him. Thanks Captain Ray!

    I am so thankful for Captain Ray! He was very friendly in planning and easy to speak with. Also, due to an oversight with another vendor, we had a significant delay in the ceremony, and Captain Ray was very accommodating, patient, and understanding about the delay. Very delightful. I would highly recommend!

    Captain Ray did an outstanding job officiating my wedding. He is friendly, kind and truly cares about the experience. Captain made sure to have a few phone calls with my husband and I before the big day to perfect what he was going to say.

    My wife and I knew from the moment we meet Captain Ray that he was the right person to perform our wedding. Captain Ray took time to get to know us and created the most perfect ceremony anyone could have asked for. He held our hand every step of the process and helped us stay focused despite all of the craziness that was going on. He was incredible to work with. In addition, Captain Ray was extremely detailed, asked all of the appropriate questions and most importantly listened to our desires for our ceremony.

    Captain Rays calming demeanor helped calm my last minute wedding jitters and kept the environment light with laughter. Im not sure that Captain would admit to this but he was so vested in our wedding that he even had tears in his eyes by the time our ceremony ended (Sorry Capt!). Had we need to plan our wedding all over again, you better believe we would be working with him.

    I highly recommend Captain Ray to my friends or family!

    Such a delight! I told him a few things that were important to us and with just a few words from me he wrote the perfect ceremony! There were tears and laughs. Everyone loved him!

    We got married at the beach off of South Pointe Park in Miami and it was absolutely perfect. Captain Ray helped us choose the location and getting our marriage license went smoothly thanks to his helpful tips. He personalized our ceremony and made it very meaningful and special. We're very happy!

    Captain Ray is such a gentleman. We came from New York, and had booked appointments with a few officiants. As soon as we met him he was our guy! Everyone asked us about him after the ceremony, and catered to how WE wanted our ceremony to go. Thank you Captain Ray- you made our day super special!

    Captain Ray perfected our ceremony to exactly what we wanted. His delivery, professionalism, and sincerity during the ceremony really stood out and made the whole experience so special. Captain Ray is truly a class act. It is obvious he takes these duties very seriously and with great pride & respect. I would recommend him time and time again. You absolutely can not go wrong with Captain Ray Goad!

    Everything about our experience with Capt.Ray was exceptional! From the moment we first contacted him through the personalized ceremony, he went above and beyond in every way. Punctual, attentive, and he truly listened to what we wanted for this special day. Our partner and I have been together over 20 years and wanted a simple, small and casual wedding, and his emotional and touching ceremony was more than we expected. My partner (husband!) and I highly recommend him, he made our day!

    I was privileged to meet Mr. Goad the way I did. I had inquired about ceremony details & have received valuable feedback from him. I work in a resort hotel that happened to be hosting a wedding he was officiating. What an honor it was to witness their beautiful day. I look forward to working with him in the future!! Sara W.

    My wife and I met on a boat 5 years ago. I knew we would get married after that first day. When we decided to have our wedding on our boat, we went searching for an officiant that fit our theme. Captain Ray, thank you so much for giving my wife and I such beautiful vows to say to each other. Our guests still compliment us on the ceremony, which was the perfect length and a delight for them to witness. I hope you get to marry many more couples and may they be as happy as we are. Blessings.

    Captain Ray is the way to go. More than pleasant and helpful. I emailed him the night before our ceremony to change our vows (10pm at night). With no problem he did and even helped me with some examples. I can't thank him enough for making our special day...perfect. He's very reasonable and professional. Very good with children and making it work. 100% satisfied!!

    Captain Ray was amazing! He guided us through the process and made us feel very comfortable with our ceremony plans. My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We actually recommended Captain Ray to another couple who had their planned officiant cancel on them just a few days before the wedding. Captain Ray stepped right in and made sure everything was as they wanted and ready to go. He is a true professional. We would HIGHLY recommend Captain Ray as a wedding officiant.

    Ray was an absolute star that went beyond what we were expecting before the date and on the date. He made sure that he kept in touch and made sure we were thoroughly organized! In person he was charming and sweet, and he looked excellent in his sea suit! Our experience was authentic and we cannot sing his praises enough.
