    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!!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    ★★★★★ just now
    Randy just married my husband an I this past Saturday, and we cant be more elated with his professional and personable approach. From day 1 when I made contact with him he was so attentive. I think when trying to decide on an officiant, so many things run thru your mind, or at least they did thru mine. Unless you are using a family friend, Pastor or Deacon, the officiant is not going to know you and your soon to be spouse on a personal level. You wouldn't have known that from the services Randy performed and the script he wrote for us. You would have thought he had known us years. He took the time to personally meet with us, listen to our beginnings, what was important to us, and even took time to talk with friends and family who cloud give him some in sight of who we were to make our ceremony really about us . Our ceremony was not a generic scripted one, but one that he personally tailored to us. He was always very responsive to all my inquiries, and really made me feel confident in the services he would be providing. He even reached out to me to ask if we wanted any part of some of our ceremony in Spanish! Randy speaks very professionally with utmost confidence and we couldn't have made a better selection. If i could give Randy more than 5 stars, I would!!! We have received so many compliments on his services. The CEREMONY and VOWS are probably the most important memorable part of your wedding day, and we cant thank Randy enough for making ours so PERFECT- Yvette & Richard Aros May 19, 2018

    Our daughter had to decide very spontaneously on a person to perform her wedding ceremony. Although Randy was just a “pick” out of the internet we were truly impressed.
    To prepare for the service he wasn’t too shy to get in touch with as many family members as possible. Even though I was not able to tell any story about our engaged couple right away his guidance and perceptive way to ask questions made it easy for me to contribute.
    For the wedding ceremony he found the perfect mixture of truth, sensitivity and sympathy when he talked about our couple’s characters and their history. His speech was neither understated nor overdone but genuine.
    Our daughter is German and as a highlight Randy repeated the main part of the ceremony in German without having been asked for that. This was such a nice personalized gesture and a good example for his efforts to make this occasion so very special for us.
    I also got the impression that he has known our couple for years already.
    What better can you expect?

    Randy was fantastic! Although we have only been to a handful of weddings in our lives, we have to say he was by far the best officiant we’ve witnessed. For someone who was a stranger just days before, his level of involvement went far beyond our expectations. Yes, with only 10 days to prepare, Randy took the time to contact various members and friends of our family to get to know the more personal sides of our character and who we are as a couple. He had taken special care to familiarize himself with our values, and learn a little bit about our history as individuals. He went as far as to recite parts of the ceremony in German, Larissa’s mother tongue, and he did quite well! All and all, he lived up to every bit of his end of the deal, and made the day very personal and ever memorable. We were thoroughly impressed, especially by his authenticity and would recommend him to anyone planning to marry!

    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.

    Randy was awesome!! He’s been a good friend for a long time and to have him as an officiant was the icing on the cake. Randy took his duties very seriously. We had several phone calls with him, because we live in MI and Randy in CA, to discuss how we wanted our services to proceed. Yes, Randy performed two for us on the same day. He presented himself in a very professional manner and was very respectful of all of those that were in attendance. I believe that whom ever should choose Randy as their officiant would very happy with his work!

    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!

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

    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!

    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.
