    Rick is the man

    Very appreciative of Rick and his flexibility and professionalism for our big day. He was very well spoken, prompt and made elopement perfect. He went above and beyond and even brought his Airpods and tripod to Facetime my mother for the ceremony, who was not there dealing with major health problems. Very appreciative of him doing that and made this process very easy and less stressful! I 10/10 recommend Rick!

    Thanks again RICK!

    Nothing but compliments!

    Rick performed our wedding in December of 2023. From start to finish, he made sure our ceremony was exactly the way we wanted it to be. He took time to incorporate the elements of faith as well as the new traditions that we wanted to incorporate. We’ve received nothing but compliments about the ceremony from our guests, and we so appreciate the crucial role Rick played to make that happen.

    Amazing officiant! Helpful in so many ways.

    Rick was so easy to work with from the beginning. He helped us plan our ceremony and everything went off perfectly. I highly recommend getting in contact with Mr. Grove for an amazing ceremony.

    Officiant / Ceremony

    Rick was terrific from start to finish. He made it all so easy for us. He had an amazing template which we took from him and implemented our own ideas to better customize our ceremony.

    He was helpful in preparing the ceremony dialogue. Anytime we didn’t know what we wanted he gave his suggestions and ideas through his valuable experience in officiating, which we then incorporated.

    Rick’s performance of the ceremony was absolutely stellar. We had many guests complimenting the ceremony, but specifically pertaining to Rick, regarding his voice, his tone and the flow of the ceremony which he very successfully executed.

    Rick was super prepared and professional.

    Added bonus, he helped with the handling process of our marriage license.

    10 out of 10, 100 out of 100.

    Highest recommendation possible. Great value.

    Wonderful experience!

    While I know some couples have had family and friends officiate, and it's been a really beautiful experience, I've also witnessed the exact opposite, so my husband and I wanted to bring in a professional. Rick did an excellent job. His officiating was personalized, heartfelt, and beautifully delivered, and he was absolutely lovely throughout the process. Highly recommend.

    Thoughtful, fun and memorable

    Rick was the best officiant. He patiently helped us write our script and added great ideas. All of our guests (young to older) loved different parts of the ceremony and came up to us after the ceremony. Rick also helped with the marriage certificate. He went above and beyond to make our day more smooth and special.

    Rick was absolutely amazing to work with!

    Rick was wonderful to work with! He walked us through the process of eloping seamlessly. We would have seriously been lost without his guidance. The actual ceremony was so individualized and special and we couldn't be more happy with how it all turned out!

    Rick was world class

    Rick helped make our day so special! I think it all came down to how well he prepares for the ceremony, also in how open he is to making it customized to what you want.

    Rick was amazing!

    Rick was extremely flexible during the planning process. We had to reschedule a couple of calls due to busy work schedules and other things in life that come up, but Rick always was able to work with us.
    Rick truly made an effort to get to know us and to make our ceremony personal. We received so many compliments from family and friends about our ceremony and Rick specifically. Rick made our ceremony fun, funny, and sweet all at the same time. The crowd laughed while also having serious moments, which is exactly what we asked for.
    Rick is a great speaker and a true professional, while seeming like a family member or friend officiating. Rick even made photos better because he knew when to not be in photos and where we should be standing for the best photo.
    HIRE RICK! You will not regret it. He is also so reasonably priced. Worth every penny.

    A perfect officiant

    Rick is an incredible officiant. He's caring, thoughtful, and a great public speaker. We really couldn't have gotten a better officiant and feel so lucky he was available for our wedding date. We even had several guests go out of their way to tell us how much they loved him.

    Absolutely Wonderful

    Rick was exactly what we needed and wanted for our special day. He has the perfect speaking voice, he wrote the most beautiful words to define our love and journey, and he was totally understanding of how we wanted a short, sweet and to the point, type of ceremony. All I can say is Thank You Rick! and I highly highly highly recommend hiring him for your wedding.

    Amazing! This experience was more than I could have expected.

    Finding Rick was the biggest blessing.
    We were on the search to find someone to officiate our wedding.

    Rick Skype with Brandon and myself to meet us. You can feel the passion he has for really making the couple feel like they are his top priority.

    He arranged a second phone call to go over schedule and also to do private interviews with bride groom separate this way he can make your wedding day as personable as possible. And boy did he delivered. Rick felt like he known me and Brandon for years: it really set the tone for all of our loved one.

    I felt so much gratitude and Rick really set the tone. He asked what we wanted out of the ceremony and I said I want simple, love, funny.
    Not to mention he did this all with 2 toddlers there with us. 10/10 recommend him.

    Thank you.

    Amazing Officiant!

    Rick did a great job officiating our wedding. We are so happy that we chose him. Not only is he very professional, he is personable, has a great speaking voice and he gets to know the couple before the wedding so he can say some personal things during the ceremony. I highly recommend hiring Rick to officiate your wedding, you won't be disappointed.

    Amazing job and wonderful officiant Rick Grove!

    First I just want to say if you are unsure on who to officiate your wedding Rick is the perfect choice. My husband and I found Rick through WeddingWire and talked with him a couple days after our initial email. Right away we agreed he was the perfect person to marry us. Rick took the time to really customize and help us make the perfect ceremony for us. We had phone calls both together and separately to tell him about us and our story. This attention to detail was exactly what we had hoped for in our ceremony. On the big day Rick exceeded every expectation we could have possibly had. Our ceremony was tailored to us and our story. We had so many compliments from our family and friends about what a wonderful job Rick did. It just made an already special day even more so. Thank you Rick again for everything!

He is very kind, thoughtful & came prepared on the big day! We would absolutely recommend Rick to anyone and couldn't imagine our wedding day without his officiating!

    Great San Diego officiant

    Rick did a great job on our ceremony at the Darlington House in La Jolla. He was professional and made our ceremony so much better than asking one of our friends to do it. We wanted things short and sweet, and he did a nice job of finding ways to personalize it. We'd recommend Rick to anyone who is looking for an officiant in the San Diego area!

    Perfectly Tailored Ceremony

    Rick was a fantastic officiant who took all of our requests to heart and made the ceremony very special. He was able to tailor the event to our exact specifications which left plenty of guests raving about how great he was and asking where we found him. He is a great officiant and a great man, and if Rick is available for your wedding day, I absolutely recommend you book him.

    Wedding officiant

    We really lucked out when we found Rick in such short notice to officiate our wedding. My fiancé and I knew when we had our first phone call meeting with Rick we wanted him to officiate our wedding, we liked what he had to provide and say, he sends over a templet and goes over the details with you. Rick made the process smooth and easy, he was helpful and great. Our guest really liked Rick as well, and kept talking about him. We highly recommend him, he’s nice and was great!
