    Working with Richard was truly a blessing!

    Hiring Reverend Richard Rodriguez with Tristate Weddings was one of the best decisions we made about our big day! The guidance from a seasoned professional like Richard is invaluable. The patience and care to attention to our big day made us feel so loved and beyond taken care of. The booking process was a breeze, and his voice at the alter rang beautifully through the chapel. A million thank you's!

    Tri-State Weddings's reply:

    Thank you both so much for the honor and pleasure of marrying you and being an intimate and integral part of your special day. I cannot thank you both enough and wish you both the very best in your future together! Blessings!

    Beautiful Wedding Ceremony!!!

    Rev. Jeffrey and Tristate Weddings was absolutely incredible. From the start, Rev. Jeffrey was responsive, knowledgable and extremely kindhearted. We first scheduled a Zoom call and he took the time to learn about our relationship and presented several ceremony options. We essentially customized our entire ceremony, which made it very special and unique! During the wedding planning process, Rev. Jeffrey would touch base over the phone to offer guidance such as how to obtain our marriage license and certificate. The entire process with Tristate Weddings was seamless. Our ceremony was everything we wanted and several guests mentioned that it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever attended! If you’re looking for an officiant, look no further, Tristate Weddings is professional and Rev. Jeffrey was beyond genuine and made our special day forever memorable.

    Tri-State Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for these wonderful words! we truly appreciate it! Rev Jeffrey is an awesome asset to our team and we love him and love the fact that he is appreciated by our loving couples!

    Best Day Ever

    Rev. Richard was amazing!!
    He was informative, engaging, Godly, most of all humble. Anything we needed, he did it. Anytime we had questions, he always answered our call. I would choose him 1000 times over and over again. I completely recommend Tristate!

    Best Decision We Made

    Rev. Richard Rodriguez provided options we could use in our Wedding. My wife reviewed each verses to use for our ceremony. We then spent 1-2 hours over the phone with Rev Rodriguez as he guided us to how the ceremony would play out. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and customer focused. We invited him to our Wedding because he made it so easy for us on this important day in our lives.

    Wonderful Experience!

    Reverend Richard was spectacular to work with. Our wedding reception in Chicago was postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19, and my now husband and I wanted to keep our original date and still get married but in NY. We received Rev. Richard's information from another Rev. in Chicago and within a few days we had an elopement ceremony planned in New York this July all thanks to Rev. Richard. He was prompt and professional with responses, and incredibly flexible when it came to planning the ceremony. We asked him the night before if we could move our ceremony from 4 to 7pm so we could look out at the sunset and he quickly agreed. If you are looking for a beautiful and easy experience, look no further. Thank you for making our elopement ceremony so simple and easy!

    Tri-State Weddings's reply:

    It was truly and honor to perform your ceremony...thank you both for allowing me to be a small part of your special day! Many blessings!

    Rev Richard was perfect!

    We were lucky enough to have Rev Richard officiate our wedding and he did an amazing job! We first set up a zoom meeting where he really took the time to get to know us and presented us with all the options for how we wanted our wedding to be. We were able to pick exactly how we wanted the ceremony to be (wording and all) and even how long we wanted the ceremony to be which was really great. Being our first marriage as I’m sure it is for most of you, we really didn’t know much for what to do with things like the marriage license, etc. and he took care of all of it for us. Having someone like Rev Richard made our experience worry-free and resulted in an amazing day for us. We would definitely recommend him for any wedding and we are so thankful we had him!

    Tri-State Weddings's reply:

    I cannot thank you enough for these wonderful words. You both made it so easy for me to work with a phenomenal couple like yourselves. I hope to be part of a vow renewal in the future! Blessings!

    Stress free experience!!

    Richard was so incredibly attentive to our needs and kept us on schedule! We are grateful for him and his beautiful energy. He made us feel like we had known him for years and was so creative with helping create a unique ceremony! You will not regret choosing him as your officiant. From making sure he took care of our marriage license to giving us beautiful keepsakes he was just incredible!!

    Highly Recommend!! Went Above & Beyond

    Our experience with Reverend Richard and Tri-State Weddings was fantastic from the start. Rev Rich was very responsive, honest, caring and very communicative. We along with our family and friends alike loved the ceremony he performed it was beautiful, unique and detailed. Rev Rich was a recommendation from friends who also used his services and in addition we were also witnesses to a wonderful ceremony he performed. We recommend Tri-State weddings to anyone!!

    Tri-State Weddings's reply:

    It was truly and honor and pleasure to be part of your special day. That I was recommended by your fiends and sorority sisters whom I also married made the occasion even more special! I wish you both the most amazing life together! Blessings!

    The best officiant we could have asked for!

    Going with Tristate Weddings was one of the best decisions we could have made! Our officiant was Reverend Jeffery Talavera who did an amazing job. We spoke to Jeffery a couple of times before the actual wedding and he was always so nice. We clicked immediately and honestly felt like he was a part of the family. Quite a few of our guests even asked us if he was a family member. He conducted himself with true professionalism but also let his great personality shine through. Our ceremony was perfect thanks to him. He is very well spoken and an overall delight!

    Tri-State Weddings's reply:

    Hi Kristal!

    Seeing this warms our hearts! As we strive to be the very best we can be for all of our couples! Rev Jeff and myself are extremely elated that you were happy with our services! We hope to be a part of your vow renewal in the future!

    Many blessings to you both!

    Exceeded our expectations

    We had the pleasure of having Jeffrey as our officiant for our wedding on April 22, 2022 at The Pleasantville Manor, NY. Jeffrey exceeded our expectations and provided us with such a heartwarming and sentimental ceremony. He was very easy to work with from the very start and very responsive. All of our guests and family members were raving about him and commenting how beautiful and intimate our ceremony was. We are extremely grateful he was part of our special day and will forever be thankful for his assistance and contribution to our wedding!

    Tri-State Weddings's reply:

    We are so happy to read this review and are so thankful that you trusted in us enough to allow us to be a part of your special day! On behalf of Tristate Weddings and of course Rev Jeffrey we thank you so much! Blessings!

    Reverend Richard is amazing!

    We are very happy with our decision to work with Rev Richard for our April 2022 wedding. During our initial meeting with him, he was so informative, approachable, and made us feel comfortable. It was important to me to find someone who would make us feel at ease on our wedding day, and during the period leading up to our wedding day.

    Reverend Richard has been so easy to talk to throughout the entire process, and was informative on the steps to obtain our marriage license and certificate. Any questions we had, he was knowledgeable and responsive.

    We loved our ceremony, and we felt prepared to recite our vows, which is due to him guiding us during preparation. He is simply great for facilitating a wedding ceremony.

    Great Experience

    When we started our officiant search it was important to us to have someone who we felt could represent our backgrounds and would provide us with a customized wedding ceremony. During our initial meeting Jeff took the time to learn about us as individuals and our relationship as a couple. Asking various questions from our beginning to now. Jeff was easy to communicate with from the time we booked until we received our marriage certificate back in the mail. Though we ended up doing our wedding in English Jeff was open to doing the ceremony either in part or entirely in Spanish if we wished. We also love the personal touch keepsakes that Tristate provides for memories of our special day. Jeff will always be a special part of our wedding day and we’re so grateful!

    Tri-State Weddings's reply:

    Congratulations on your marriage! We are so excited that you were happy with Rev Jeff. He too was excited to be a part of your special day. We at Tristate Weddings want to wish you both a long and prosperous life together and many blessings!

    An absolute pleasure to work with

    Reverend Rodriguez was recommended to us by one of his business associates, and we couldn't be more grateful for him! My husband and I had been through a lot trying to reconfigure our marriage plans during COVID-19, and he made the whole process easier and much less stressful! We found him to be kind, reassuring, and professional. His Zoom ceremony was exactly what we asked for (i.e., nonreligious, very simple). I don't want to spoil it for other couples, but he provided a wonderful surprise the next day when everything was finished. Overall Reverend Rodriguez turned what could have been a bittersweet ceremony into a sweet memory that we will always cherish. I would highly recommended his services, pandemic or not!

    Thank you so much for the kind and awesome words. May you have a blessed marriage for years to come!

    Couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

    If you found Richard Rodriguez as an officiant for your wedding, but you live across the country, fly him out to you. He's amazing. Long story short, my initial officiant was unable to make the wedding. I was personally very sad about that because we were close and I was looking forward to her being there. So finding someone to fill those shoes? Tough. We met with Richard Rodriguez and another officiant one night. The meeting with Richard lasted about two hours, but for good measure. He had so many questions. He is genuinely interested in the couple he weds, and it shows. I went into it thinking, "Sure whatever, anyone will do now", but I came out of the meeting thinking, "Wow, he's perfect, I can't wait for his part of the wedding!" BEST PART IS, the audience of the wedding kept coming up to us asking about him. Everyone loved his speech. Richard does an excellent job setting up your speech. He asks you to be involved from the beginning, so my wife and I essentially created the structure of the speech from some documents he sent us. He's beyond professional, very courteous, very invested in the couple, and overall just an asset of a person to meet in your life.

    Tri-State Weddings's reply:

    Oh my! I’m am beyond myself reading these wonderful words! It was truly a team effort and I cannot express the gratitude that I feel for allowing me the honor and pleasure of performing your ceremony! Wishing you all of the very best in your future together! Blessings!

    Impressive officiant services

    Richard and Jeffrey were professional, detailed oriented, organized and great to work with overall. I had a vision for what I was looking for in an officiant - spiritual and multi-cultured and they were able to deliver that effortlessly - an impactful, moving ceremony in Spanish & English, with a spiritual undertone which both of our families valued immensely. It was a joy to have Jeffery officiate our wedding, we highly recommend Tri-state Wedding!

    AMAZING!!!! Don't look anywhere else!

    Reverend Richard Rodriguez made our ceremony. Our family and friends were constantly complimenting how beautiful the ceremony was and how great Reverend Richard was. We could not imagine picking anyone else. He was not just reading the words, but how he pronounced them, he truly believed in what he was reading. He spoke with passion. He took time before the wedding to have us on a Zoom call and no one else did that. He wanted you to care on who you were selecting to marry you. Everyone else was very transactional, and with Reverend Richard, it felt like we knew him our whole lives.

    Again, Reverend Richard made our ceremony. Without him, it would not have been as special. Thank you!

    Tri-State Weddings's reply:

    It was truly an amazing day meeting Dad and friends and meeting you two was definitely a special moment in time. I am truly grateful for you both and hope to connect with you again in the near future! Best wishes and many blessings!

    Simply the best

    My husband an I got married on 10/15/2021, and Richard was sooooo amazing, available, attentive, responsive, professional, and kind, to say the least, throughout our entire planning process and especially on our wedding day. I would highly recommend Richard as your officiant for your magical day. I especially loved how he was able to incorporate both Spanish and English into our ceremony, and loved the extra personal touches that we were able to include like our wine box ceremony and rose ceremony for our mothers. Richard was truly a pleasure to work with and a wonderful addition and part to such a memorable day. We cannot thank Richard enough! If you are considering an officiant... look no further Richard is your guy!

    Richard Rodriguez was great!

    We had Richard Rodriguez as our officiant and he was great- timely, communicative, friendly and lovely.
