We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Rev Rick made the entire process feel personal, meaningful, and stress-free. The ceremony was heartfelt, engaging, and perfectly captured our relationship and personalities. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and genuine the ceremony felt. Rick's professionalism, warmth, and ability to make us feel comfortable meant so much to us on such an important day. We are incredibly grateful for the role they played in making our wedding day so special and memorable.

Rev Rick was awesome!
Value of money was great, Rick had everything under control form the moment we got there (and we didn’t give him much time)
His vows and selection of dialogue was great.
Everyone thought we wrote our own vows and half of the crowd was teary eyed.
100% recommend to use this service and specifically rev Rick

Incredible!
Rev. Rick was absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to lead our ceremony. From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable, heard, and genuinely cared for. He made the process incredibly easy with his professionalism and organization.
On the day of the wedding, everything was seamless. Rev. Rick’s presence was warm, calm, and confident—exactly what we needed in such an emotional moment. The ceremony struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and lighthearted. I truly feel like he created a ceremony perfectly made for us.
We truly feel honored to have had him be part of such an important moment in our lives. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, kind, and able to create a ceremony that feels uniquely “you,” we can’t recommend Rev. Rick enough.

Rev. Rick was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We planned our intimate wedding at the very last minute, and he made the entire process feel completely seamless and stress-free. From our first conversation, I never felt worried or overwhelmed. On the day of the wedding, everything fell perfectly into place, and he truly made us feel so special.

We truly couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without Pastor Chris Thomas!
From the very beginning, he took the time to really get to know us and curated a ceremony that felt completely personal and true to who we are. Every detail reflected our vision perfectly. He even went as far as coordinating his wardrobe to match the tone and style of our day, which was such a thoughtful and unique touch.
Planning from New York could have been stressful, but he made the entire process feel effortless. He listened to every request, was incredibly kind and patient, and was always just an email away whenever we had questions or ideas. His warmth and genuine care made us feel so supported throughout.
The ceremony itself was everything we dreamed of and more—heartfelt, meaningful, and beautifully delivered. We are so grateful for the role he played in making our day so special. We would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

A beautiful ceremony
Reverend Rick was a wonderful wedding officiant. He is very organized and professional and always responded timely throughout the process. He provides you with a set of sample words from different ceremonies, and then you can pick and choose which words you like so that he can craft the perfect ceremony for you! We liked the fact that we had choices of words/intros/sample readings, but also that Rev. Rick made sure it all flowed seamlessly.

Pastor Chris is the best :)
Pastor Chris was so amazing to work with both before the wedding on counseling and during the rehearsal/wedding itself. He’s lighthearted and funny (which was exactly what I needed during wedding stressies) but also takes marriage seriously and was genuinely invested in the success of our relationship entering into marriage and maintaining it long term.
He also has a really lovely voice that sounds great on our wedding video 😂
I would absolutely recommend Pastor Chris to any engaged couple looking for an officiant and marriage counselor!

Perfect Display Hands DOWN
Our wedding ceremony officiated by Rick Lackore was truly one of the most meaningful and memorable moments of our lives. From the very beginning, Rick brought a calm, professional, and heartfelt presence that immediately put both of us at ease. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Rick made the entire ceremony process feel smooth, organized, and personal.
Rick took the time to get to know us as a couple and thoughtfully incorporated elements of our relationship into the ceremony. The way he spoke about commitment, partnership, and the journey of marriage made the moment feel authentic and deeply personal, rather than scripted. Our family and guests repeatedly mentioned how powerful and genuine the ceremony felt.
What stood out most was Rick’s ability to balance warmth, professionalism, and a touch of humor. He guided us through each step of the ceremony clearly, ensuring everything flowed naturally while still keeping the emotional weight of the moment intact. The pacing, tone, and delivery were perfect.
For anyone looking for an officiant who truly cares about the couple and the experience of the ceremony, we highly recommend Rick Lackore. He helped make our wedding day unforgettable, and we are incredibly grateful that he was the one to marry us.

Couldn't have asked for a better officiant!!!
We had the pleasure of working with Terry from Sensational Ceremonies, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding day.
Terry is incredibly friendly, warm, and easy to talk to. From our very first conversations, he made us feel comfortable and confident about our ceremony. We had a few specific callouts of things we wanted included, and he listened carefully and came fully prepared on the big day.
Our ceremony was beautiful. He spoke so thoughtfully and naturally, capturing exactly the tone we were hoping for. It felt personal, heartfelt, and meaningful — everything we wanted as we stepped into marriage. Beyond that, he was simply a joy to work with throughout the entire process.
We are so grateful we chose Sensational Ceremonies and Terry for our wedding and would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for an officiant who is professional, personable, and truly invested in making your ceremony special.

A truly magical night
We found ourselves in a serious pinch when our original officiant canceled just a month before our wedding, and we were so nervous about losing the personal touch we’d always imagined for our ceremony. Enter Chuck, who immediately put all of those fears to rest.
From our very first conversation, Chuck was personable, calming, and completely professional. He offers a wonderful variety of ceremony styles and formats, which gave us the perfect foundation to build something that truly felt like us. We added personal details and meaningful touches, and the end result was a ceremony so genuine and heartfelt that you would never have known Chuck hadn’t known us for years.
He struck the perfect balance of warmth and polish, guiding the moment beautifully while keeping it intimate and special. We received so many compliments from our guests about how personal and lovely the ceremony felt.
We cannot recommend Chuck highly enough. If you want someone who will step in with grace, ease your stress, and deliver a ceremony that feels deeply personal and unforgettable, he is your person.

An Amazing Pastor! Would truly recommend!
Pastor Chris was truly extraordinary to work with. As a very nervous bride, I cannot express how calming and reassuring his presence was. From the moment we met him, he made us feel comfortable, supported, and confident every step of the way. He truly made our wedding day incredibly special and meaningful.
We also completed pre-marital counseling with Pastor Chris, which helped us grow both individually and as a couple. His guidance, wisdom, and genuine care strengthened our relationship in ways we will always be grateful for.
Pastor Chris is not only our wedding officiant — he will now be our pastor for life and a dear friend. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who leads with faith, kindness, and authenticity.

Best wedding officiant
Dr. Paul Jackson was an exceptional officiant and created a ceremony that was personal, heartfelt, and flowing. He took the time to understand our story and thoughtfully incorporated our ideas, making every part of the ceremony meaningful rather than generic. Dr. Paul guided us through the entire process with calm confidence, clear communication, and genuine kindness, which made us feel completely at ease on such an important day. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend him.

We are so happy with Sensational Ceremonies and Chris Thomas!
We are so happy with Sensational Ceremonies and Chris Thomas as our wedding officiant. Choosing an officiant is such a personal decision, and Sensational Ceremonies came highly recommended by our month-of coordinator. From the very beginning, Chris was incredibly personable, kind, and genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple.
I loved the amount of choice and care that went into crafting our ceremony, from vow options, to laniappes, to even our officiant’s wardrobe selection. The communication was spot on throughout the entire wedding process, and we were so grateful to Chris for helping us create such a meaningful and personal ceremony.
He was a calming, professional presence from start to finish, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Highly recommend!

We are so thankful for and appreciative of Dr. Paul Jackson for officiating our wedding last month in Orlando! Not only was Paul very professional, he was also extremely kind and down to earth. He made sure that we had a beautiful ceremony that was both lighthearted and very meaningful. Our ceremony included some of our family members, and he allowed space for everyone that we wanted to have involved. We will forever be grateful that he was a part of our day as it was one of the most important days of our entire life!

Chuck was perfect :)
Chuck O'Connor was our officiant - and I couldn't recommend any one else! We got to meet him while we were in town before the wedding, and he was ready to get to know us and answer any questions or concerns we had. Not only was he knowledgeable and informative, he was also very flexible and understanding on how we would like to personalize our ceremony. He gave us a list of ideas to pull from, and after compiling our preferences, Chuck executed the ceremony perfectly. He even was able to make it seem engaging as we stood at the alter - he's not one of those without personality!

Our ceremony with Chuck O’Connor
We had the honor of having Chuck be our officiant for our wedding day.
Everything about our experience with him was exceptional. Not only was he the warmest, most accommodating, and positive person. But he felt like a member of our family. We worked together to craft our ceremony, and it turned out absolutely beautiful.
His communication from the beginning was amazing. He was also very quick on his feet when we forgot an essential item for our ceremony. He improvised effortlessly and made light a potential disaster.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chuck, and anyone would be blessed to have him a part of their ceremony.

We absolutely loved having Rick as our officiant! During our search, the moment we finished our very first phone call with him, we looked at each other and instantly knew he was the one. We wanted someone with an engaging voice—someone who could capture everyone’s attention from the moment he began speaking—and Rick did exactly that. He was incredibly professional and made everything feel effortless. He helped make our ceremony smooth, meaningful, and truly special. We’re so grateful to have had him as part of our big day!!

Wonderful work
Steve Trahan of Sensational Ceremonies
He is professional, personable, and friendly. He had beautiful options to choose from for the ceremony script, and the contract was simple and easy to read.
We hired him 12 days out from the wedding due to major issues with our former officiant, and he stepped in with precision and grace.
He arrived early and mailed the marriage license for us with no extra fee!
We were extremely impressed that less than 24 hours after we sent him our selections on the many different scripts that he had for us to choose from, that he already had it ready for our proofreading and approval, he really is so time oriented, and professional, it calmed our stress levels! In fact, we sent our script selections from options at 11:06pm on a Tuesday night, and the next day, Wednesday at 3:20pm, he sent us the finalized version to look over, he got our edits back to us half an hour later, this truly made us feel prioritized, and that he is on top of deadlines and communicative!!
He spoke beautifully during our service, and added humor at the right moment, which made things extra special, he even mailed the marriage license for us, and it was just such a good experience.

Helped our wedding dreams come true!
We are so thankful for Reverend Rick! He helped make our wedding dreams come true. The ceremony was perfect, and all of our family and friends were so impressed. We really appreciate how he worked with us to come up with a genuine and personalized ceremony. We also really enjoyed our premarital sessions with him, not only getting to know him but all the different things we took away from each session and will carry the rest of our lives. He also made the whole process enjoyable, even with the logistics of getting the official marriage certificate and being on top of everything (including rehearsal). We would highly recommend Reverend Rick and are so grateful for him!

Thank You Reverend Rick!
Reverend Rick did an amazing job from start to finish. From our first consultation with Rev Rick we could tell he truly cared about making our day special, from there he worked with us to create a personalized ceremony. On our wedding weekend he attended and helped facilitate our rehearsal and of course made sure our wedding day went smoothly and our marriage license was submitted. He truly paid attention to every little detail to make sure things and we were taken care. I truly couldn't have asked for anyone better to officiate our wedding and be a part of our day.

Rev. Rick officiated our wedding on August 30th at the Marriott on Water Street in Tampa, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, he was personable, kind, and genuine—it felt like we had known him for years. He went above and beyond to calm our nerves, make sure we felt prepared, and guide us through every step. He created a beautiful ceremony that flowed seamlessly and reflected us perfectly. We are beyond grateful to have had him as part of our day and would recommend him to anyone looking for not just an officiant, but someone who cares about making your wedding meaningful and unforgettable.

A Truly Wonderful Officiant – Thank You, Rev. Rick!
We are beyond grateful to have had Rev. Rick officiate our wedding. From our very first meeting, he brought a calming presence, genuine kindness, and a deep sense of care for making our ceremony personal and meaningful. He took the time to get to know us, listened to our story, and worked with us to craft a ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple.
On the day of the wedding, Rev. Rick was an absolute professional—poised, heartfelt, and warm. His words touched us and our guests deeply, and many people commented afterward on how beautiful and thoughtful the ceremony was. He struck the perfect balance of sincerity, spirituality, and light-heartedness.
We couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead us into this new chapter of our lives. Thank you, Rev. Rick, for helping make our day so special and unforgettable. We will always cherish the memories of that moment, and your part in it.

Rev. Rick.
We cannot thank Rev. Rick enough for the most beautiful ceremony. He made it everything we wanted and more. We were so impressed with his communication leading up to the wedding day. Rev. Rick walked us through every step and was such a calming presence for me leading up to the ceremony. Our families couldn’t stop talking about what an amazing job he did. We are so blessed to have found him!

Tampa Elopement
We couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate our elopement ceremony than Reverend Rick. From the moment we met him, he was warm, friendly, and incredibly professional. He made us feel completely at ease and brought such a calm, joyful energy to our special day. The ceremony was heartfelt, beautifully delivered, and truly personal — exactly what we had hoped for. We’re so grateful to Reverend Rick for making our elopement in Tampa feel so meaningful and memorable. Highly recommend!

Definitely a must-have for your wedding vendor team!
We could not be more grateful to have had Rev. Rick officiate our wedding! From our initial meeting to the ceremony day, everything was truly seamless, stress-free, and honestly perfect. Rev. Rick is thoughtful, personable, and dedicated. He made sure every step of the process was easy and provided incredibly helpful resources. The ceremony templates he shared were great, and the flexibility to personalize our ceremony made it feel truly our own. Rev. Rick came highly recommended by our venue and wedding coordinator, and we’re so glad we followed their advice. We had an A+ wedding vendor team, and we’re thrilled Rev. Rick was part of it!

Wedding Officiant
Rev Rick married us in Clearwater beach May 2025. I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! We had a Zoom session to get to know each other and he provided us several templates where we could choose what we liked for our ceremony. He put together the perfect wedding words for us and honestly felt like another friend at our wedding. He kept me calm and cool! The ceremony was beautiful and I am thrilled Rev Rick was a part of our special day! Professional, fun, quality service! I would 100% recommend Rev Rick and Sensational Ceremonies for your wedding!

Wedding Ceremony with Chuck O'Connor
Chuck was an incredible officiant for our family only wedding ceremony! He is incredibly kind and wise and we learned so much from him during our pre marital courses. He was so easy to work with and guided us through a peaceful, loving ceremony. We will keep in touch with him forever! Highly recommend!

The Best of the Best
Rev. Rick married us three weeks ago in Clearwater at the JW Marriott. Not only was he communicative in the months leading up to our planned Elopement Ceremony, he had an incredible attention to detail and made a sincere effort to get to know us prior to the wedding. No exaggeration here: he gave us the ceremony we of our dreams. It felt like an old friend was our officiant! He was truly wonderful to work with and I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again, Rev. Rick, you helped make our day magical!

Pastor Brian was a wonderful officiant on our wedding day! His speech was delivered smoothly and beautifully. It was heartfelt and he took into consideration our requests. As we wanted a Christian/God-centered ceremony, he did exactly that, and even ended on a prayer which I found absolutely beautiful. He brought so much warmth to our ceremony and he was very photogenic in our photos (a total bonus!). We couldn't have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding. We highly recommend Pastor Brian from Sensational Ceremonies Tampa!

Rev. Rick is the best!!
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Rev. Rick with Sensational Ceremonies for our wedding on May 2, 2025 at the Hyatt Regency on Clearwater Beach. We had a destination wedding, (traveled from Chicago, IL) and had no relations to Rev. Rick, but meeting him on our rehearsal day, it felt as if we have known him a long time with how welcoming he is.
Rev. Rick is absolutely amazing. He will do everything he can to accomodate you, he was extremely helpful during the whole planning process, and he is all around very professional. He is very good at what he does, and our wedding ceremony was seamless all because of him. I cannot recommend Rev. Rick enough and I am so thankful we had him officiate our special day!

Rev O'Connor provided an awesome experience for us
We chose Rev. Chuck O'Connor with Sensational Ceremonies to marry us in Tennessee. He was extremely thorough and provided us every bit of information that we needed to plan our ceremony. He also provided timelines for license application, information for name change etc. He was a delight to work with and was available to us through our entire planning process. It was like having your best friend to marry you. He also gave me the reassurance that everything would go perfectly, Our venue made the recommendation and I am so glad they did. He was so kind to join our reception and our guests loved visiting with him. I highly recommend him.

Rev Rick is the best!
Rev Rick was gracious enough to marry us on St Pete Beach FL at Hotel Zamora and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! I’m so happy with everything he did for us- meeting us in person to go over what we wanted in the ceremony as well as adding different prayers or comments specifically for us. He took great care of us and really made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. I can’t thank him enough for everything he did on our wedding day!

Thanks Pastor Chris! Amazing Job!
Pastor Chris Thomas was wonderful! He brought such an easy-going, lighthearted energy that calmed our anxiety while being an absolute professional. We got multiple comments from our guests about how great he was. He also accommodated a literal last minute change to the ceremony with a few quick words as I was standing at the altar before the bride came down! Fantastic work Chris, thanks again!

Planning our wedding from Texas to Florida was definitely a challenge, but Pastor Chris Thomas made the officiant side of things so easy. Even though we didn’t get to meet him in person before the big day, he was kind, professional, and made us feel totally at ease. If you’re looking for someone who will take great care of you on your wedding day, Pastor Chris is the one to call. Thank you, Pastor Chris, for everything! God bless!

Warm, Funny, and Genuine – Highly Recommend Pastor Chris
We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Pastor Chris Thomas. From the very beginning, he was incredibly accommodating and flexible, always willing to tailor the ceremony exactly how we envisioned it. He provided several options for ceremony scripts for us to tailor to what we wanted, and even offered us options for what he could wear—sharing a selection of suits, ties, or even a robe so we could choose what felt right for our day. He was very reliable and communicated throughout the entire process. What stood out most was how genuine he was. It never felt like he was just there to check a box—he really took the time to get to know us and our families, and made us feel completely comfortable. He brought such warmth and care to the whole experience, and even had our guests laughing during the ceremony with his great sense of humor! We wholeheartedly recommend Pastor Chris to anyone looking for someone who truly cares and brings both heart and joy to your wedding day.

Thank you Rev. Rick!
Rev. Rick Lackore married us this past March and the ceremony was absolutely beautiful. He guided us through the entire process. He helped us formulate the best ceremony structure for us as we wanted a non-denominational ceremony due to our families having different religious backgrounds. He also guided us through our vows so smoothly that one guest even thought we memorized the vows! After, he even filed our marriage license for us making everything stress free! He is very personable and his enthusiasm captures the attention of everyone. Rev. Rick provided us such an amazing, beautiful ceremony that we will forever remember and cherish. I recommend him to any future bride and groom in the Tampa area. Thank you so much Rev. Rick!

More Than an Officiant — A True Partner in Marriage Prep
As we celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary today, we couldn’t think of a better time to reflect on and finally share how grateful we are to have had Reverend Rick officiate our wedding.
From our first meeting and throughout our marriage preparation classes, Reverend Rick was both professional and approachable — articulate, insightful, and genuinely invested in helping us start our marriage on a strong foundation. His guidance was thoughtful, and his ability to balance tradition, wisdom, and a modern, relatable approach made a lasting impact on both of us.
On our wedding day, he was everything you hope for in an officiant: polished, composed, and cool, yet warm and engaging. He delivered a beautiful ceremony that felt personal and meaningful — something we and our guests still talk about.
We are so grateful for his presence and guidance and can confidently recommend Reverend Rick to any couple looking for someone who is not only professional but deeply committed to helping couples begin their marriage with purpose and heart.

Excellent ceremony, thank you!
Our wedding ceremony at the banyan tree in downtown St. Petersburg was absolutely perfect thanks to Sensational Ceremonies of Tampa. Reverend Rick was exceptional - his communication before the big day put us at ease, and his officiation struck just the right tone during the ceremony. We were particularly impressed by how seamlessly they coordinated all the vendors, from the talented harpist, Kristen Hoyos, who provided beautiful ceremony music to the videographer, Edmund Rhodes, and photographer, Tammy Lackore, who captured every special moment. The entire team's professionalism and attention to detail made our day stress-free and exactly what we'd hoped for. For couples looking for a full-service ceremony planning experience in the Tampa Bay area, we couldn't recommend Sensational Ceremonies more highly - they truly lived up to their name in creating an unforgettable celebration for us.

12/7/24 intimate wedding
Rev Rick and Tammy were absolutely amazing. They have a way of making you feel like you've known them forever. On 12/7/24, we had a intimate ceremony with our parents and siblings and it was everything we could ask for. We were able to have our 100 year old grandma in attendance and it was truly a blessing. Rev Rick and Tammy provided amazing communications and advice before, during and after the service. The day would have not been perfect, without them. They were so accommodating and we were able to bring some of our Indian heritage with a 'Thalee' ceremony during the ceremony. We appreciate you both for everything and cannot recommend you both enough!!

Reverend Rick, the Best Officiant!
We can say with complete confidence that working with Reverend Rick was the best choice we could have made for our ceremony. After having to cancel one wedding due to catastrophic weather events, Rick gave us a positive, comforting, and professional experience on our newly-rescheduled “big day.” He was able to accommodate our short, nebulous timelines, and provided an easy guide to constructing the perfect ceremony.
We give Rick the highest recommendation for any couple looking for an officiant on their wedding day, and he even handled all of the administrative tasks of filing our license and ensuring we had what we needed to move forward to make our lives “one,” including the name change process.
The ceremony itself was perfect, and Rick played a huge role to make it so. Thank you, Rick!

Deeply Grateful
For years my now husband and I anticipated having my grandfather marry us but he sadly passed away before being able to do so. We were struggling to find someone to replace him that we would feel connected with. Our venue suggested Sensational Ceremonies and we were introduced to Rev. Rick From the start, Rev. Rick was a warm and gentle personality off the bat. His instructions were clear and easy to accomplish. Not only that but he made a customized ceremony reading for us! He checked in with us multiple times before the event and showed up early on the day of our wedding and rehearsal. Rev. Rick was kind and welcoming towards all of our family and friends. He did an EXCELLENT job at our wedding and was just so loving throughout the entire process. We felt like we were personal friends of his. He took care of shipping out our wedding certificate right away and checked in with us after our wedding as well. We can tell Rev. Rick really cares about us and our marriage. Thank you, Rev. Rick and God Bless you!

Rev. Rick Lackore
We had an excellent experience working with Rev. Rick Lackore. He was extremely knowledgable, professional, and fun to interact with! We also greatly appreciated his flexibility with our quick change in plans due to hurricane disruption. Our ceremony went flawlessly thanks to him!

Rick was great!
Rick Lackore was absolutely wonderful in every way! We initially were going to use a family member as our officiant, but we decided against that and our photographer Tammy advised us that her husband was ordained and able to perform the ceremony, so we decided to go with him. We're so glad we did! From the initial consult, Rick was absolutely great to work with. He gave us multiple options to choose from for our ceremony words, and when speaking with him before the wedding, he really helped to personalize it and make it ours. During the day of the wedding, Rick and Tammy arrived even before they said they would (over an hour drive during Monday rush hour, and right before a major hurricane!) and started getting to work right away. The wedding was completely DIY and we are so thankful to Tammy and Rick for their guidance along every step. We didnt even do a rehearsal dinner, but they were both incredibly helpful before and during the ceremony, from telling how things were gonna go, to showing us how and where to stand, and so much more. They really helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives!

Made our day and experience that much better!
Rev Rick was amazing! He was very organized and communicated efficiently throughout the process. He made sure our ceremony was that of our dreams. We had so many guests tell us “wow, what a great officiant” and we couldn’t agree more. I would recommend Rev Rick over and over again!

Nothing short of perfect!
Greg Gasaway in Dallas was the perfect officiant for our special day! We were able to 100% customize our ceremony and Greg delivered it beautifully. He helped us get all the jitters out during the rehearsal and made our day so memorable. Would 1000% recommend Greg anytime you need an officiant!

Inclusive Minister and Quick Response Time!
😍Rev Rick was incredible to work with! We wanted a minister who was inclusive as I was afraid to be blessed by someone who didn't align with my values, especially as an ally and since my partner isn't religious. They took the time to get to know us and were very flexible with our requests. They also shared very useful references throughout and even post-ceremony.
We also did everything last minute and Rev Rick responded to us almost immediately after we inquired online. Highly recommend!

Officiant Greg Gasaway
Greg was absolutely the perfect person for our ceremony! From the beginning he’s been respectful, professional, and personable. He made sure to answer any question we had and offer his expertise for things we had questions on. If you’re looking for your officiant, please consider Greg Gasaway as you will not be disappointed!

We used Sensational Ceremonies for our wedding in June specifically Greg and it was a wonderful process.
We had a destination wedding so had to do meetings on the phone beforehand but Greg met up with us on one of our trips to the area for coffee which was so kind of him to do in his Saturday morning. The paperwork and documents from Sensational Ceremonies are dry detailed and thorough. You can pick and choose to customize a services that works for you and your family.
We enjoyed the process so much. Reading through everything and see what each other were drawn to and making our own little mash up of things.
Greg helped up too with flow and timing and wording. Everything was perfect in the end.
He showed up early and checked with us to see if he could help in any way. Handled documents for us after the wedding and has even checked in on us a couple times since.
I would not only recommend using Sensational Ceremonies I would also highly suggest choosing Greg. You won’t be disappointed and will feel at ease the entire way through.

Best Florida Wedding Officiant
Our experience with Sensational Ceremonies was in fact SENSATIONAL! Affordable pricing and exceptional service! We had the privilege of having Rev Rick as our officiant for our wedding. From the beginning of booking him, to the day of the wedding, Rev Rick has amazed us with his communication, kindness, punctuality, and overall passion in the wedding industry. He took the time to get to know us as a couple to ensure he would create a ceremony that best suited the both of us. He worked patiently with us as we created in collaboration our ceremony breakdown. During our rehearsal he was extremely patient, kind and thorough - as we had a bridal party of 16 people - and went through the ceremony practice as many times as we needed. And lastly, he officiated our ceremony better than we ever could have imagined. The rehearsal was already wonderful, but when the ceremony actually happened, he made sure everything went perfect! Thank you so much Rev Rick and Sensational Ceremonies for officiating our wedding and making it truly magical!

No need to look anywhere else!
We cannot say enough great things about Reverend Rick and his beautiful wife, Tammy!!! From the initial consult to the amazing pictures, Rick and Tammy handled everything for us. As the bride, I felt so special. I didn’t feel rushed, nor did I feel that something would be missed during the day. Reverend Rick entered our home with joy, ease, and confidence. It was clear we were in the best of hands for our special day!
Rick and Tammy were a pleasure to work with, and I am so happy they were willing to come to our home to shower us in love and kindness.

We signed up for premarital classes with Rev. Rick & we couldn't be more thankful for the time we spent with him. He gave us advice that we will use for the rest of our lives. He delivered us a custom ceremony that was so special. We couldn't recommend him more! Thank you Rev. Rick!

Beautiful East Tennessee Ceremony!
We had Cy from Sensational Ceremonies officiate our wedding, and it was such a great experience. Cy was instrumental in helping us put together our dream ceremony. The script was perfect and he helped direct the guests afterward. He did a great job of supporting my husband and I, keeping the event light hearted and setting the exact tone we were looking for. It was so great working with him and Sensational Ceremonies! And it was so nice that he helped file our marriage license since we were not local to the area!

We can't thank Rev. Rick enough!
Rev. Rick was an absolute joy to work with on our big day! Leading up, he was very responsive and on top of things - something we really appreciated in the wedding planning process. Once the big day came, Rev. Rick made us feel so at ease and put on a great ceremony. He was so friendly, our guests thought we had known him personally prior to the big day! I can't recommend Rev. Rick and Sensational Ceremonies enough.

Highly Recommend Reverend Rick Lackore
We could not be happier with our experience working with Reverend Rick Lackore. He not only officiated our wedding ceremony, but also led my husband and I in marriage counseling leading up to our big day. From the very beginning Reverend Rick was extremely professional, prompt and prepared for every single interaction while being gracious regarding our busy schedules.
The ceremony was an aspect of our wedding weekend that we held in high regard, and Reverend Rick allowed us to create a ceremony that was meaningful to us. We spent a great deal of time crafting this portion of the event and in the end, it was the perfect blend of our Catholic faith, our family values and elevated ceremony prose, thanks to the flexibility, guidance and presentation of Reverend Rick.
Our friends and family have shared nothing but reviews of immense positivity of Reverend Rick’s delivery. My husband and I could not have dreamed of a more magical wedding ceremony. Reverend Rick kept the ceremony sacred while infusing candid bits of personality and humor. His instruction also kept everyone and everything in beautiful balance.
We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Reverend Rick Lackore and I would highly recommend his services as both wedding officiant and pre-marital mediator. He is truly a wonderful man and an outstanding wedding professional.

My husband and I recently got married on the beach at The Don Cesar. Reverend Rick was our officiant and his wife, Tammy, was our photographer. They were absolutely wonderful and made our special day perfect! Reverend Rick was helpful and made us feel very comfortable. He provided a beautiful ceremony that was exactly what we wanted. Tammy has amazing photography skills. All of our photos are incredibly gorgeous! Rev. Rick and Tammy were so fun to work with during our photography session. We highly recommend Rev. Rick and Tammy and cannot say enough positive things! We loved our perfect day and truly appreciate everything.

The best experience!
We could not have been happier with the ENTIRE experience with Reverend Rick and his wife, Tammy! From the zoom meeting and email correspondence, we immediately felt comfortable and like our wedding would be just as we want it! And, the experience itself did not disappoint. We had a beach elopement on the beach and it was perfect and catered to us and who we are as people. We have not stopped using the word “perfect” to describe every aspect of it. Rick guided us along the way from where to have the actual ceremony, suggestions for the wording in the ceremony, getting our Florida license since we were out of state, flowers etc! He made it completely stress free and very very special! His wife, our photographer, was kind and relaxed and captured some amazing moments that we will cherish!!!! We can’t say enough good things and would absolutely recommend this to anyone and everyone!!!!

Reverend Rick did our wedding ceremony on 3/9/24. He was great throughout the entire process. He was kind and very responsive. We met with him in person initially to discuss with him our vision for the ceremony. He provided guidance and suggestions to make our ceremony exactly what we envisioned. During our rehearsal he went over in detail what exactly would happen at each step which was so helpful because we were so nervous. Rev Rick did an amazing job with our ceremony and it was exactly how we wanted it! If you choose him to officiate your ceremony you will not be disappointed. Thank you for everything Rick!

Great officiant, voice, and personality!!!
My husband, Aaron, and I completed pre-marriage counseling with Rev. Rick a few months leading up to our ceremony. It was important for us to have a connection with our officiant and feel supported. Rev. Rick filed our marriage license, brought a microphone, and helped us draft the perfect ceremony. We had our wedding at the Sandpearl and wanted to have Catholic/Christian elements in our ceremony, including our vows. Very professional and friendly and will cherish our time with him!

Rev Rick is the BEST in the Biz!
Reverend Rick is the BEST in the business. He was invested in every moment of the planning process & provided incredible pre-marital counseling as well. His ceremony was perfectly crafted and moved our guests to tears with the sincerity in his speech and timbre. He truly made our ceremony beautiful and was always open to communication if we needed it. You simply cannot go wrong with Rev Rick & I cannot imagine our planning process & wedding day without him! We are so thankful to Rev Rick!

Use Rev. Rick!
Rev. Rick was amazing! From the moment we first met him, he was so helpful and on top of everything. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but he was always checking in and sending reminders. On wedding day, he was organized, calm and everything was perfect. I will recommend him to anyone who asks. Thank you Rev. Rick!!!
