    Simply Fantastic

    Rev Russell did a fantastic ceremony. He is professional and has a boat load of experience. He is also very tall. My wife and I where thrilled to have him as our officiant.

    Fantastic time

    Because neither of us wanted a traditional church wedding, we choose to have a small ceremony with close family only. Russ walked us through the ceremony ahead of time, let us make changes without question and made this "our" wedding. Being a second marriage for both of us, and being in our late 60's, we really appreciated being able to personalize the ceremony to us. Thanks for making our day so special Russ.

    Russ is awesome!

    Rev Russ did everything that we asked & more. He was very understanding when we had to make changes because of the pandemic. He did an absolute amazing job at our wedding. All of our guests even complimented him!

    Wonderful & professional

    We had never met with Reverend Russ before our rehearsal, except for a short interview on the phone. His non denominational service was so amazingly personal, no one knew we had no prior relationship.

    With impromptu road closures due to a marathon, guests arriving late, and me thinking I forgot the marriage license, we were extremely happy with Rev. Russ' comic relief and ease for our ceremony. We were receiving questions and comments like "Where did you find him" and "He was great" throughout the afternoon. I never got a chance to thank Rev. Russ as he had another wedding, but I was very grateful to have him there. I would recommend his services for anyone looking for an officiant with a sense of humor and character.

    Rev. Russ did a fantastic job for us on very short notice. If we had it to do all over again Rev. Russ would again be our choice. He put together a greet ceremony for us and on a personal note, he is a very nice person!

    Russ is the best! I've been to other weddings where he officiated and I HAD to have him perform our ceremony. He made it unique, fun, spiritual and a direct reflection of who my husband and I are. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect fit with our personalities and our beliefs. Our friends and family really loved it.

    He's truly dedicated to giving you the ceremony you want, and is able to tailor-make it so it's a perfect fit to whatever your wants and needs are. You cannot go wrong by having Rent-a-preacher!

    A wonderful Ceremony!

    Rev Russ was great to work with! On rehearsal night, I was running around like crazy to get decor set up on a hot day. He could tell I was overwhelmed and hot, he gave me a water and made sure I drank it to keep hydrated!! Our ceremony was beautiful and he is such a great speaker. He even added in some ideas that I had sent him! I highly recommend!!

    Thanks you! Cool, open minded and fun!

    Russ made our ceremony easy, enjoyable and fun. Seemed like an old friend came over and got us married in a blink of an eye.

    Exactly what we wanted for the ceremony!

    Russ did a great job with our ceremony. He met with us to learn more about us, and I very much wanted a light-hearted but not joking tone to the ceremony and he met our expectations spot on. I felt like he made the ceremony warm and personal. He also worked with us changing dates and times due to covid. We met with a couple officiants but immediately knew Russ was personable while still being able to command a crowd. Highly recommend!

    Our ceremony was perfect

    Reverend Russ was a pleasure to work with! We met with him twice before the wedding, and we had no doubt in our minds that he would provide a wonderful ceremony for us. He was professional, knowledgeable, and performed our ceremony with a traditional yet light-hearted feel. Also, we wanted our ceremony to be 20-30 minutes long, and our ceremony was exactly 20 minutes - perfect!! Thank you so much Reverend Russ, you made our day so special.

    Russ was exactly what we were looking for in an officiant. He gave us a beautiful and personal ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

    Impeccable. Wide variety at our ceremony from the very religious to the not-so-much. From the carnivore to the vegan. Russ set a beautiful balance of light humor and solemnity and made sure the ceremony was meaningful and sacred. Would recommend him with no hesitation.

    Rev. Russ was AMAZING! We had such an amazing experience. Everyone kept asking how long we'd known him for because only a close family friend could have nailed our personalities so well! After one meeting Rev. Russ we knew there was no one else that could preform our ceremony and we're so glad we found him! Our ceremony was PERFECT. You won't regret your decision to call Rev. Russ!

    If you are looking for a great pastor to do your wedding, look no further. Rev. Russ performed a traditional religious wedding for us and everyone in attendance was impressed with the ceremony. We had a Doctorate Pastor in attendance and he was impressed with the ceremony and the words spoken. If you are looking at having a traditional religious ceremony, he is the guy to do it. He is very nice and personable and can help you through all the nuances of the ceremony. I would rate him 10 stars if I could add more stars.

    We wanted a more informal ceremony, with a Bible reading, a Chinese "blessing. The ceremony was set up for exactly what we wanted.

    Rev. Russ was simply amazing. He brought a calm demeanor to our wedding day and kept everyone laughing with his timely sense of humor. Everyone was complementing him and wondering where we found him. Hopefully I'll never have to get married again, but if I did I would ask Russ to be the one to do it.

    Rev Russ was amazing! We honestly couldn't have found a better reverend to officiate our wedding! Even our guests felt he was like family! He had a great, tailored approach that fit our wedding style. He was on board with whatever we wanted. Thanks again Rev Russ!

    Reverend Russ was amazing! From the start he took the time to talk to us and get to know us. He had a lot of great ideas for readings and the ceremony in general. He arrived well ahead of time for both the rehearsal and the ceremony. We had a lot of people come up to us afterward and ask "where did you find him!?". I'm so glad our venue recommended him!
