Marissa Sent on 11/27/2023Pastor Rich is the REAL DEAL!
My now husband and I were looking for an officiant that could deliver an authentic, non-religious, and bilingual ceremony for our October wedding and we are so grateful and blessed to have found Pastor Rich! He is so kind-hearted and patient, and really works with you to craft a personalized ceremony that truly encapsulates your entire love story. When we met with him in-person, he took the time to ask questions about how we met, our relationship, and any other details pertinent to our story, and he incorporated all of these details into the ceremony - I could not have asked for a more perfect delivery of the ceremony. It was so authentic, romantic, light-hearted, and special. I loved his finishing touches of his advice for us, pulling from his own experience and relationship with his wife. Even 1 of my bridesmaids - who introduced me to my husband - got a shout out in the ceremony and I loved it! We received so many compliments from our friends and family about Pastor Rich and he truly knocked it out of the park with everything we asked for. Thank you Pastor Rich for delivering the most memorable ceremony for us. -

Sandra Sent on 01/02/2023If you're looking for a great ceremony that really showcases you as a couple, Pastor Rich is your guy!
Pastor Rich delivered such a beautiful ceremony for our wedding! I have a lot of family that only speaks Spanish so it was really meaningful to have had Pastor Rich cover parts of the ceremony in Spanish and is a big reason why we hired him. We loved that he asked us to share our favorite stories as a couple with him so that he could incorporate it into the ceremony. It was especially nice when my now husband and I sent him stories that the other didn't know about because it was a pleasant surprise to be reminded of that story during the ceremony and know that that was the other person's favorite memory of you. -

John Sent on 03/14/2022More than an officiant!
Pastor Rich was responsive and wonderful the entire process. He accommodated us through THREE different date changes with no issue. His officiating was amazing which was echoed all night by our guests. It really meant a lot to have Pastor Rich take the time to get to know us before the big day and incorporate that into his message. Big plus - he did part of the service in Spanish for my wife’s side of the family and helped me do my vows in Spanish. Great human being and officiant!! -

Kerry Sent on 12/20/2021Very happy!
We spent months looking for a bilingual officiant for our May 2021 wedding, and I know we couldn't have made a better choice than choosing Pastor Rich! He was attentive, timely, flexible (COVID wedding) and couldn't have been kinder and more helpful throughout our planning process and actual wedding day. Thankful to have had him on our wedding day and would highly recommend him to other couples! -

Grace Sent on 12/09/2021Wonderful Officiant!
My husband and I were on the hunt for an officiant who would be able to do our ceremony in both Spanish and English. We had only 4ish months to plan our wedding, and were hoping for someone who would be flexible with us. Pastor Rich was one of the first people we reached out to. He was professional and incredibly helpful from the start. He traveled over an hour outside Chicago to officiate our wedding. We received many compliments on our ceremony that Pastor Rich created a welcoming atmosphere where our guests felt like active participants. They appreciated the way that Pastor Rich made the ceremony feel intimate and familiar. We set up a webcam to livestream the wedding for our relatives, and Pastor Rich helped us make it all happen. We are so grateful to Pastor Rich for making our day so special. ¡Mil gracias! (My one suggestion for future brides and grooms would be to get his premium package, which includes a wedding planning meeting, rehearsal, and the ceremony. We flubbed a few of our lines during the ceremony and would have appreciated the extra practice!) -

Pastor Rich was very accommodating considering the uncertain times we are going through right now. He made our bilingual ceremony very personal and our guests thought we knew him for years. Thank you Pastor Rich, you made our dream day perfect! -

Juliann Sent on 11/12/2020Pastor Rich is the BEST! :)
My husband Bobby and I had the BEST experience with Pastor Rich. When we met (a year before our wedding), he made everything super easy for us! We knew Pastor Rich would be great on the day of our wedding, but he truly went above and beyond our expectations. I can't wait to see the video from our ceremony so we can relive our special day. Highly recommend Pastor Rich!! :) -

Lindsey Sent on 10/30/2020Perfect, Personalized Bilingual Ceremony During Pandemic
Pastor Rich made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! Having a bilingual (Spanish/English) officiant was very important to us and Pastor Rich did a beautiful job bringing together our two cultures. We received so many compliments on how lovely and personal the experience was for our guests. Pastor Rich took the time to get to know us and was very communicative from start to finish. Even during normal times, wedding planning can be stressful, but bringing the day together during a global pandemic was unthinkable. So grateful that we had Pastor Rich in our corner! -

Sarah Sent on 10/23/2020So personal and kind!
Pastor Rich was absolutely wonderful. Several of our friends and family asked us if we've known him our whole life, but in reality we only hired him a short WEEK before our wedding - that's how personal and kind he was.
We planned for a church ceremony for a year and a half but then only a week before our wedding date we had to change plans because of Covid-19. We scrambled to find an officiant for our now outdoor ceremony and thankfully we found Pastor Rich. He provided the BEST service and a great price. I loved that he made sure the ceremony wasn't TOO lengthy but also didn't feel rushed. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much for being there for us on such short notice and making our ceremony beautiful! -

Pastor Rich was amazing. He was so easy to work with and truly made our ceremony unique! JP and I couldn’t imagine having anyone else guide us through our wedding day. Pastor Rich, thank you so much for creating such a personal and beautiful ceremony! You were truly a blessing.

Ricky Sent on 12/09/2019Kind, friendly, attentive, and he feels like family. Wants to get every detail right.
Out of all the Pastors out there, my wife and I really believe that we made the right choice. Upon meeting him for the first time he greeted us with a warm hug and treats you like family. He's kind and very attentive to details when explaining what we wanted exactly for the wedding. Our wedding day came out so perfectly with Pastor Rich and he was early to our venue so as to not be late. We highly recommend Pastor Rich to anyone out there looking for a good officiant. Our wedding was non-denominational since my wife is Muslim and I'm Catholic. He chose the best of both of our sides and put on one great ceremony we will never forget :) -

Kristen Sent on 11/14/2019Loved Pastor Rich!
We had a great experience working with Pastor Rich! He was responsive, warm, and did a great job expressing our love during our wedding ceremony. We met Pastor Rich about a month before our wedding for a consultation and to discuss the specifics of our ceremony, and he took everything to heart and delivered it flawless during our ceremony. Everyone had wonderful things to say about Pastor Rich and our parents were especially happy with him! I would definitely recommend working with Pastor Rich for your wedding! -
![Katie]()
Katie Sent on 10/30/2019Best Ceremony Ever
Pastor Rich far exceeded our expectations! We met a few times before our ceremony and he was so easy to communicate with. He captured our love with the perfect balance of humor and sentimentality. We received numerous compliments from family and friends that it was the best ceremony they had ever been to—all thanks to Pastor Rich! He is a wonderful person and will cater to your ideas. He even researched and included several Harry Potter quotes because my husband and I are such big fans! It was so special and unique. We highly highly recommend him! -
![Audrey]()
Audrey Sent on 10/29/2019Beautiful Interfaith Ceremony in MKE
We are so thankful to have had Rich officiate our wedding in Milwaukee. Rich, and his wonderful wife, Jane, have been friends of my family since I was young. When I talked to my Jewish fiance about the possibility of having Rich be our officiant, he was slightly skeptical. We had an introductory Skype meeting which lasted about 20 minutes. We told Rich a little about our relationship and we brainstormed ideas about how to create a beautiful interfaith ceremony that everyone was comfortable with. A few months closer to the wedding, we then met Rich at a coffee shop to talk about the details. We live in Milwaukee and he made an effort to let us know when he would be in the area so we did not have to travel for the meeting. Rich promptly responds to emails, has great ideas, and makes sure everyone involved is included in the planning. The ceremony was intimate and meaningful, and a beautiful blend of religious, which is exactly what we wanted. Rich even had some portions in Hebrew! The way Rich spoke about us made it seem like he has known my husband for as long as he has known me! Rich's calm and patient demeanor is also something my type A personality self needed on that day. I will absolutely be telling my newly engaged friends to make Rich their officiant. -

Emily Sent on 10/26/2019Solid choice
My husband and I were very happy with our decision to hire Pastor Rich as our officiant, and my parents were very happy with him as well. We were able to have a bilingual English-Spanish service. The premarital counseling he provided at our planning session was also valuable. -

Elizabeth Sent on 10/21/2019This is your go-to officiant. Trust me.
My wife and I could not have been more happy with the wedding ceremony. We loved how personal Pastor Rich made it without making it corny or uncomfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Pastor Rich was exactly what we were looking for, and our wedding was perfect because of it. -

Samm Sent on 10/21/2019The best!!
What can I say besides Pastor Rich truely made our ceremony so, so special. From the planning process to after it was all over, he was there every step of the way.

As you can tell by our pictures, there were tons of laughs!! Thank you so much for spending our special day with us!! -

My husband and I were very pleased with Pastor Rich. From the very beginning until the end (and after!) Pastor Rich was extremely dedicated to pleasing us and displayed excellent communication. He is responsive to emails, pleasant, and really took into consideration what we wanted for our ceremony :) We received many compliments from our family about him after the ceremony.

Roxana Sent on 08/24/2017My husband and I could not be any happier with Pastor Rich Rubietta!!!
He officiated our July 2017 wedding in an outdoor setting at The Morton Arboretum. From the first day of our communication Pastor Rich has been organized, easy to reach and very responsive as well as caring! Very attentive throughout the getting to know us process and questionnaire. He has attention to detail and poured his heart into making our religious ceremony so memorable!
Meeting Pastor Rich and having our rehearsal was very enjoyable and fun, and he walked us every step of the way through the procession. He is punctual and his suggestions and ideas were so helpful and creative! Pastor Rich is appropriately humorous and fun and we enjoyed that in him!!
Our ceremony was perfect!! We received so many compliments from our guests!! We absolutely recommend Pastor Rich to all engaged couples!!
God Bless and thank you!!
Roxana and Dan

Alyxandra Sent on 06/18/2016Pastor Rich completely exceeded our expectations. My husband and I wanted a non-religious, fun, personal ceremony and we truly couldn't have found a better man for the job. We received compliments regarding the ceremony and the "flow" all throughout night and many people were surprised to hear that Pastor Rich wasn't someone that we had known for ages - although it felt like we had by the end of it all! Our wedding was a thousand times more incredible than we could have ever imagined and we couldn't have done it without Pastor Rich.

Cindy Sent on 03/10/2016Pastor Rich has high reviews and that is exactly why I decided to check him out for our wedding. I was looking for someone who could speak to us about Gods will for marriage but also keep in mind that my husband has not yet in a relationship with Christ. We wanted to hold our ceremony at the same location in which we were married due to it being winter and having so many out of town guests. I wanted someone who would make a connection with us prior to our big day so that it was more meaningful rather than finding a stranger online since my own pastor would not marry us off church grounds (silly). He met with us for a little counseling and even with his busy schedule he kept in touch with us and was very attentive to the emails we sent. He did such a lovely job interacting with our families and a beautiful job at our wedding. Pastor Rich, we are so thankful and pleased with the careful job you did of making our wedding special. -

Jessica Sent on 10/07/2014I found Pastor Rich through Wedding Wire-Some of our family members were skeptical but he turned out to be amazing. From our first meeting to catching up over e-mail to go over details. He ran our dress rehearsal and asked questions about things that I had not thought of but were important and he made our ceremony very beautiful. You can also see the joy and love for what he does in his face when he is performing the service. I am so glad we went with Pastor Rich and would recommend him to everyone!
