Rich is the best
We cannot say enough great things about Rich! From our very first Zoom meeting, we felt an instant connection. He made the entire planning process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. Rich was incredibly thorough, taking the time to walk us through every step so that we knew exactly what to expect on our big day.
On the day of the ceremony, Rich truly shined. He struck the perfect balance of warmth, humor, and heartfelt sincerity—making the ceremony not only meaningful and personal but also fun and memorable. So many of our guests went out of their way to tell us how much they loved the ceremony and how great Rich was!
If you're looking for an officiant who is professional, personable, and passionate about making your ceremony special, we wholeheartedly recommend Rich.We cannot say enough great things about Rich!

Couldn’t recommend Richard enough!
Richard was truly amazing from start to finish. We first met with him over a video call about a year before our wedding, and right from that moment, we knew we were in good hands. He took the time to understand us as a couple and made it clear that his priority was making our ceremony meaningful and personal.
He offered thoughtful advice, helped guide us through the details with ease, and brought a sense of calm, warmth, and professionalism that made the whole process feel seamless. Richard was incredibly easy to talk to and a joy to work with—responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in making our day special.
We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Richard helped set the tone for our wedding in the most beautiful way, and we’ll forever be grateful. We would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an exceptional officiant who brings heart, grace, and a personal touch to their big day.Richard was truly amazing from start to finish.

Best Officiant Ever!
We had the pleasure of working with Reverend Richard J. Colonna for our wedding in November, and he was truly outstanding! From the moment we first reached out, he was incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony perfect. He took the time to understand our vision and helped create a personalized ceremony that felt authentic to us. Every call we had with Richard to prepare for our big day was filled with laughs and smiles.
One of the best things about working with Reverend Colonna was how he handled some unexpected marriage license drama that came up due to some very unhelpful Jersey City City Clerk employees. I didn't have to worry about a thing—he took care of all the details and made sure everything was handled smoothly, which took a huge weight off our shoulders.
Reverend Colonna’s warmth and sincerity made the entire experience so special. He brought a calming presence and helped us feel relaxed and confident on our big day. Without a doubt, he was the best vendor we booked for our wedding, and we are so grateful for his guidance. We highly recommend him to any couple looking for a caring, experienced officiant who will go above and beyond to make your ceremony unforgettable!

1000% recommend Richard Colonna
We were fortunate enough to have Richard Colonna lead our wedding ceremony, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very first meeting, he took the time to get to know us, our story, and what we envisioned for our special day. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made all the difference.
The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Richard was articulate, heartfelt, and really brought our personalities and love for each other to life. They expertly blended tradition and personal touches, ensuring that it was meaningful without feeling too scripted. We were so impressed by how seamless everything was, from the words spoken to the overall flow of the ceremony.
Not only was Richard highly organized and punctual, but they were also incredibly supportive throughout the planning process, offering advice and samples of the wedding ceremony script and always keeping us at ease. Our guests commented on how moving and intimate the ceremony felt, and we couldn’t agree more.
If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about making your wedding ceremony a reflection of you, look no further than Richard Colonna. We are so grateful for the role he played in our big day, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and truly special officiant.

Thank you Thank you Thank you
We cannot recommend Richard highly enough as a wedding officiant! From the moment we first met him, it was clear that he truly cared about making our ceremony as special and personal as possible. Richard took the time to get to know us through multiple meetings, where we shared stories about how we met, our journey together, our friends, family, and our dreams for the future.
He skillfully wove all these elements into a ceremony that felt incredibly intimate, light-hearted, and captivating. It was like he had known us for years, and he brought our love story to life in a way that resonated deeply with us and our guests. Richard's genuine warmth and attention to detail made our day unforgettable.
If you’re looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony uniquely yours, look no further. Richard is a true gem, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to all couples!

the best officiant
We could not have asked for a better officiant to marry us. Rich was personable and professional. Rich conveniently met with us on ZOOM meetings prior to the wedding to help plan the ceremony of our dreams. He explained everything clearly and gave his expert advice and suggestions. On the day of the wedding, he looked handsome and presentable. We did not have a rehearsal the day before and Rich was able to do a quick run through with the bridal party before the wedding. He spoke loudly and clearly and made our guests laugh and cry. He helped us beat the storm that was heading to our outdoor beach wedding by making last minute adjustments to save time but not sacrifice the importance of the ceremony. We had so many guests comment on how great he was and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant 100 times over!We could not have asked for a better officiant to marry us.

Couldn’t be happier!
I knew when I first saw Richard Colonna’s smile on his website that he was the one! This was our second marriage and we weren’t sure how we wanted our ceremony to be, but our main goal was to keep it simple and personal. The minister responded right away and we were on a zoom call within a week. Because we weren’t sure of what we wanted, he literally held our hand through our first appointment. It was clear to us that he was a professional; he was articulate, organized and most importantly genuine. His organizational and logistical skills were extremely important during the planning phase which ensured that our ceremony went off exactly as planned. From day one he was invested in our wedding, he staid in touch, sent reminders and always answered my calls & emails right away. I can’t say enough about how happy we were with our decision to have Richard as our officiant, his presence enhanced our ceremony and although we only knew him for a few months, we felt as if a family member was marrying us. He has a very special calmness and inner peace that made both our guests and us feel at ease. He truly made our ceremony tailored to us, it was simple, sweet and resonated with everyone present. I don’t think it could’ve been the same without him and his smile!I knew when I first saw Richard Colonna’s smile on his website that he was the one!

Richard was so helpful from start to finish. We had no idea what we wanted in a ceremony, only that we wanted to get married. Richard helped us have a short ceremony that was packed with emotion and humor and everything we wanted to say. He gave us the confidence to write and read our own vows.

Best ceremony ever!!!
We have gotten so many compliments that our ceremony was the best our guests have ever been a part of! Richard built in a little 30 second photo op so that our guests could put their phones away which our guests loved, he zoomed with us multiple times to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted, and was just so easy to get along with. 100 stars!We have gotten so many compliments that our ceremony was the best our guests have ever been a part of!

Amazing from start to finish
Booking Richard for our wedding ceremony officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He stood out among all of our wedding vendors. Richard was the perfect wedding officiant in many ways. If you are reading this review, you are probably most focused on an officiant’s delivery during the ceremony. Well, he completely crushed this. He was graceful, smooth, funny, and very charismatic. People at our wedding asked us how we knew him because it seemed like we had been family friends for years. His timing was perfect and he directed everyone very well. He had to deal with intense wind gusts during our ceremony on our otherwise perfect day and he made it look easy. And most importantly, he ducked out of the photographs of our first kiss :) However, Richard’s value was not just in his actual ceremony presentation. Both before and during our wedding, he took care of all of the little details and helped us feel that everything was in good hands. Before our wedding, he always came very prepared to our Zoom meetings with many helpful details. He was sensitive to the unique style of ceremony we were looking for and never tried to push us in a certain direction. He helped us talk through different ideas and provided great context as he has been part of many weddings. And after our wedding, he worked with our witnesses to take care of our marriage license so we did not have to worry about it at all during our wedding.

Phenomenal
Richard executed the most beautiful ceremony we we could have ever dreamed of! My husband and I had a vision and Richard made it happen. It was everything from traditional to a mix of personal experiences. Richard told our story better than anyone could have. He made us laugh and made us cry. We still get compliments to this day of attending the best ceremony. I will go above and beyond of recommending Richard for your ceremony.

The Perfect Officiant
Richard was the perfect officiant for us. He is very professional and his personality made the process even better. He walks you through everything. He asks for and sees your vision for what you want in your wedding. He not only asks, but he listens. As he walks you through the scripting process, he offers ideas & options or thoughts. He is the ultimate officiant, if we could give 10 stars we would. He also guides you on the marriage application process as well and how to obtain the marriage license after his job is basically done. Richard goes the extra mile. On the day of our wedding, everything went like clockwork for the ceremony. We highly recommend him for yours. WHEN you decide to obtain Richards services, ask him to tell you about the turnpike life, then he will know you read this. Thank you so much Richard, it was awesome.

Flawless Ceremony
Richard understood exactly what we wanted after initially meeting with him.

Best reverend in nj
I can not say enough kind things about Reverend Richard. From our initial meeting I knew he was the one I needed to marry my husband & I. He made us feel as though it was an uncle marrying us - he was genuinely so happy for us & really cared about making our wedding ceremony special. He was also extremely helpful with nailing down 'the script' and even suggested unique readings to make our ceremony that much more special. Our families & guests raved about him, so the impression he left reached far more than just us. I highly recommend making Reverend Richard a part of your ceremony. If I could get married again he'd be my first call.I can not say enough kind things about Reverend Richard. From our initial meeting I knew he was the one I needed to marry my husband & I.

Absolutely amazing!
Rev. Richard is absolutely amazing! He was very organized and really listened to our ideas. The whole experience felt very collaborative.
Our ceremony was everything that we had hoped it'd be. Richard is a very eloquent, articulate public speaker and has such positive energy. Everyone came up to us afterwards and said that they loved our officiant! Thanks Richard :)Rev. Richard is absolutely amazing! He was very organized and really listened to our ideas.
