    Absolutely blown away

    We were so lucky to have found Randy! He was extremely professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He is also very personable and you can tell he enjoys what he does! We opted for the ‘Uniquely You’ wedding package, as we hoped for a more personalized sermon. We were absolutely blown away at how spot-on the ceremony he customized for us was and how eloquently he delivered each and every segment. Many of us were brought to tears! We cannot recommend Randy enough.

    Wedding Officiant

    Randy was wonderful, even without having a rehearsal he made sure that we could review what he would say and help direct us. We were so confident with him even with us being very introverted people. He even knew the big rule and stepped out for us to have a picture kissing. He was responsive and even reached out to our family and friends to really get to know us.

    Randy was exceptional!

    Randy was the best person to turn to when we were looking for an officiant that would understand how to approach the fusion of different cultural backgrounds, while simultaneously celebrating our union. He communicated with us prior to the ceremony and wrote the most beautiful speech which made all of us tear up. He put his heart and soul into it while staying true to what we wanted. He was very attentive to details, like stepping aside for our first kiss without us noticing. Absolutely recommend!

    Precious and Individualized!

    Randy was able to perfectly embody us and our relationship for the ceremony. His individualized approach of privately talking to bridesmaids and groomsmen tailoring the service to match the “vibe” we were going for.
    More importantly he worked with us and helped us to figure what we wanted and exactly the “level of religiousness” we wanted our ceremony to be. We didn’t want too much or too little. Our religious family member and non-religious friends BOTH loved the whole ceremony.
    More than once people asked us if we knew him privately! He was able to achieve the perfect level of intimacy for our wedding day!

    Wonderful Officiant!!

    We were so fortunate to have Randy officiate our wedding! He made our ceremony so special, personalized and absolutely beautiful. Our wedding day was truly perfect thanks to him, and he delivered a sermon that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Randy took the time to get to really know us as a couple, to understand our history and our values. The result was a ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple. Randy even incorporated some parts of our ceremony in Spanish for my parents, which meant the world to me and my family. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and we are so, so grateful to Randy!!

    Randy Lioz's reply:

    Thanks so much for the great review! It was such a pleasure working with you two, and you’re one of the sweetest couples I’ve gotten to bring together.

    Kind, friendly and fun officiant that we loved working with

    Our team procured Randy for a client’s wedding that had a short planning time we all loved working with him. He was super responsive, friendly and overall had such great demeanor. The bride and groom loved how he took time to get to know them and their love story and was very attentive to detail when it came to their wants and needs for a multi-cultural/religion ceremony. He seemed to really care that both sides’ desires were met. Highly recommend!

    Randy Lioz's reply:

    Thanks so much for the kind words, Carina. It was a pleasure working with you and I hope to do so again soon!

    The best!!

    Randy made our ceremony so special and unique to us. He took the time to meet with us, as well as our family and friends to ensure he understood our relationship perfectly! The result was a funny, heartwarming, and genuine ceremony that we, and our guests, loved. He let us pick and choose elements of the ceremony we wanted to include, and surprised us with his own personalized monologue based off of everything he learned about us throughout the process. He is new to the DC area, but you are in such capable hands with Randy!

    Amazing Officiant!

    Highly recommend Randy! He put together a beautiful and personalized service with only meeting us 6 weeks before our wedding day. He took the time to get to know us and talk to a few of our friends and family, and built it into the ceremony. It’s like he had known us for years! He even worked in some parts in Spanish, which my non-English speaking father appreciated. Truly a talent!

    Couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience

    Right from the beginning Randy was so professional and responsive and easy to work with. He made an effort to get to know us, and on top of that had us connect him with friends and family to interview in order to write a really meaningful custom ceremony. He was spot on when he talked about us and our relationship, and our friends and family all laughed and fully enjoyed the ceremony. On top of that, he helped us craft the whole ceremony, suggesting different traditions and pieces of literature that were meaningful to us, and even offered to help us write our vows. We absolutely loved the ceremony and we highly recommend Randy to couples who want a meaningful wedding ceremony.

    Wonderful!!!

    We are so grateful for our amazing officiant, Randy. We came to him a week before our wedding as we had a misunderstanding with our previous officiant. He immediately started working on our wedding. He tailored his whole sermon to exactly what we wanted. He made us laugh and cry and reflect on what we loved about each other and included fun inside jokes about stories we had told him personally. It was a blessing working with Randy and our day was so much more special because of him. We can’t thank you enough!

    Beautiful Ceremony

    Randy did an amazing job at our wedding ceremony! We chose Randy because he was friendly and easy to talk to! We felt Randy really tried to get to know us throughout the phone calls. He made our ceremony very personal by incorporating our friend's anecdotes and tying it all together into a beautiful ceremony where you got a sense of who we are as people. It was very special and we highly recommend him! :)

    Everyone commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was! Thank you so much Randy!

    Awesome & personalized!

    Randy was a great officiant. We wanted someone who wasn't cheesy and also told our story very well. He did a great job and also took the time to incorporate thoughts from our family and friends. He has a lot of ideas and we decided to go with something very simple, and he was very accommodating. Would recommend him to couples looking for an officiant who is willing to work with them and storytell!

    Thoughtful, Meaningful and Unique

    Randy did such an amazing job as the officiant of our wedding. He was easy to work with leading up to the wedding and led the most meaningful and thoughtful ceremony we could have asked for. He really took the time to understand us and our community and crafted something that fit our unique personalities. I think it is somewhat rare to get compliments from guests specifically on the ceremony, and we got so much positive feedback on it because of how special it was. Thank you, Randy!

    Disappointing Experience

    This review is based on my personal experience with Randy. Earlier this year on April 14, 2019 we spoke on the phone regarding his experience as a wedding officiant. From our initial conversation Randy seemed to be an attentive, detailed oriented and proactive wedding officiant ready to service our wedding needs. So after speaking with him for about 30 minutes my then fiancee (now wife) and I decided to hire him because of his "professional demeanor" and Spanish speaking abilities; since we wanted to have our wedding ceremony done in Spanish. Later that week we signed his service agreement and paid him in full ($490). After we paid him on April 26, 2019 we never heard from him... I had to reach out to him via email and phone a month before my wedding. Which was approximately 4 months after we had paid Randy in full. His response to both my phone call and email were unprofessional. Initially when I called him he answered with an irritated and rude tone. I told him it was me "his client" and he responded with "Yes, whats up?"... Normally when you pay someone $490 for a service you expect to receive a warm response instead of a cold and rude follow up question such as "Yes, whats up?"... I responded back asking Randy if we could meet up and prepare for the wedding ceremony. His response was "I am currently working with other clients"... Again, I had already paid him in full at this point which technically made me one of his clients. After that I realized the expectations I had of Randy which were based on his compelling initial phone call discussion and all his "excellent" reviews are false. So as a result of Randy's lack of communication skills and unprofessional business acumen I emailed him for a full refund. However his response was of course full of technicalities. For example, Randy justified keeping $171.50 of my refund because he wrote my name on his calendar and "reserved" my wedding date. Even though we never met in person nor did he really do anything at all... I highly discourage anyone from hiring Randy.

    Randy Lioz's reply:

    Fernando, I'm very disappointed that you felt you had a such a bad experience. I certainly didn't intend to treat you poorly, but I did sense that there was a misalignment of your expectations from the very beginning. For example, I explained to you that I would reach out to you 1 month before the wedding to do my full process, but about a month and a half out you emailed me, "My wedding is next month and I have not heard from you. What is the next step?" So I responded, "I usually reach out about a month ahead of time. I'm currently working on other weddings, but would be happy to set up a time for us to get together later this month." I guess this felt like a further slight to you, which certainly wasn't intended. My process is fairly intensive, so I like to focus intently on one couple at a time. I didn't mean to neglect you, but I would have given you the same priority over other clients in the lead up to your wedding.

    When you asked me to issue a refund, I mentioned that I'd refund everything but the deposit, as stated in the contract, and even offered to return the deposit to you if I were able to book another wedding for that date, and I also asked if you wanted to discuss it further. If you didn't think it was fair, we could have talked about it. I'm sorry that we weren't a good fit, but I don't think anything about the way I dealt with you was disingenuous.

    If you still feel that I've treated you unfairly, please let me know and we can try to figure out how to make it right.

    Randy's a pretty cool guy

    Randy was easy to work with. It was nice that he incorporated our friends and family into our ceremony. He took the time to understand our values and backgrounds. He was also great at accommodating us for a bilingual (Spanish/English) ceremony.

    The Perfect Officiant for our Perfect Day

    Randy was exceptionally professional, accommodating, communicative, and helpful. What we loved the most about Randy was how he shaped our ceremony to truly fit our families, heritage, and beliefs. We received a TON of compliments on our ceremony and officiant from our friends and family. If you're looking for an officiant for the most important day of your lives, go with Randy! He'll make your ceremony exactly what you're looking for; whatever that may be.

    Wedding Officiant

    Randy was the officiant for our wedding. Honestly, the ceremony was my favorite part of the whole wedding!! We met up for coffee to meet randy and he asked us some very intense questions about our relationship. He also got in contact with my mom and best friend to get to know us more as a couple. He sent me a draft of what our ceremony would look like and he corrected a few things that I wanted changed. Our ceremony truly reflected who were were as a couple and I got so many compliments on our officiant and how full of love our ceremony was. Would completely recommend Randy!! Thanks again Randy!

    Such a caring person. Everything was perfect thanks to him.

    Having Randy as our officiant on our special day was the best decision we could have ever made. Not only did he take his time to really get to know who me and my husband were but he made sure the people who meant most were a huge part of our beautiful ceremony. We are so happy we chose him to be such a huge part of our day because he is truly amazing and brings your ceremony all together. We are so thankful for you Randy, thank you!!

    Randy is the man

    Randy is such a dear! What I loved about Randy is that he put a personal touch to the ceremony. He highlighted us, the couple. He took the time to know us by interviewing us. He even went as far as interviewing a couple of our friends to get a better understanding of our values. Everybody thought the ceremony was very sweet and nice... big thanks to Randy's magic with words. I could not have asked for a better officiant!

    Wedding officiant

    Randy did an amazing job as our officiant at our wedding ceremony! My husband and I were hesitant about hiring someone that we didn’t know to officiate our wedding but we couldn’t agree on any of our friends or family to ask. I came across randy on weddingwire and I am so glad I did! He does an amazing job and spoke at our ceremony as if he had known my husband and I for years. He speaks to family and friends before hand and incorporates what they have to say into the ceremony so it feels more personalized. Every person at our ceremony said they laughed and cried. The ceremony was the best part about our day and we have Randy to thank for that!!! He is very flexible and will do his best to make the ceremony however you want it. For my husband and I, we didn’t want a traditional religious ceremony and Randy was able to accommodate that for us. Thank you Randy for everything!!!

    Randy is an amazing officiant.

    Randy was personable, humorous, sentimental, well spoken, professional, open minded, and everything we didn’t even know we wanted in a officiant. We threw Randy a little bit of a curve ball by moving up our wedding day and giving him only 3 weeks to prepare. That being said, Randy was able to put together a ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
    Leading up to the big day, Randy asked for names and phone numbers of some of our closest family and friends so he could talk to them and get some personal stories and insight from the people who know us best. He went above and beyond planning Skype calls to Australia and Italy to connect with some of our loved ones. After he spoke with them our family called us and said how much they enjoyed talking to him- how he made them feel, somehow, even more excited for the wedding! He took their personal anecdotes and tied them into his speech beautifully making it personal and meaningful.
    Randy also took time to sit and talk with my husband and I to get a sense of what we wanted out of the ceremony. He asked questions about our relationship, our upbringing, our values, and future goals. He allowed us to personalize the ceremony so it was just right for us!
    We are so grateful to Randy for giving us such a memorable, intimate, and perfect wedding ceremony.

    Thank you for all the effort you put in creating a memorable ceremony and you did it in Spanish. There were some people that thought you were our friend because you talked a lot about us as if you know us really well as a friend. You did an excellent job and you will always be remembered.

    My wife and I wanted to have a wedding vow renewal ceremony, just us on the Newport Beach Pier. We found Randy online. He was very responsive and very flexible with the time and location. We loved how he also interviews 2 people of your choosing in order to get a better sense of you as a couple. He also customized the ceremony based on our liking. Great to work with, would definitely reach out to him again if we ever renew our vows again in Southern California.
