    Wonderful Pastor. So glad we found him!

    You will not be disappointed in Pastor Rich Wilson. I found him online when the pastor that we were going to use couldn't marry us. He is open to working with all religions and didn't push any religion whatsoever. He is kind, caring, funny and took the time to get to know both my husband and I long-distance. We had plans to meet in person but were several hours apart. He did a couple Zoom sessions at no cost and took the time to get to know us. He listened to what we wanted and what was important to us. We laughed alot too. You will not be disappointed with him. I sure hope to keep in touch and perhaps meet again for a couple baptisms soon.

    Prefect Officiant!

    Pastor Rick did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. He took the time before hand to get to know us, so that his words were personalized to us as a couple and our history. His speech when officiating made our guests both laugh and cry, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys bringing couples together in their union under God. He was always responsive to any of our needs, on time and professional always. Thank you Pastor Rick for joining us on our special day!

    Rich Was Great!!

    Rich did a wonderful job officiating our marriage! He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and individually and used what he learned to write a beautiful speech. We had our wedding in the Sequoia National Forest but we’re from Georgia, so taking the time to get to know us was no small feat. I wouldn’t change a single thing. If you go with Rich for your wedding you will not be disappointed!

    A Truly Personal and Meaningful Ceremony – Thank You, Pastor Rich!

    We are incredibly grateful to Pastor Rich for officiating our wedding. From the very beginning, he took the time to get to know us, which made our ceremony feel deeply personal and meaningful. He was able to beautifully incorporate our story, values, and beliefs, while also weaving God's presence into the ceremony in a way that felt authentic and heartfelt. His approach was not only professional but also caring and flexible, ensuring that the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure your special day reflects who you are as a couple. We couldn't have asked for a better pastor to be part of our wedding. Thank you, Pastor Rich, for making our day even more unforgettable!

    Hernandez Wedding

    My husband and I absolutely adore Rich and we feel so thankful that we were able to spend our special day with him. Rich was very attentive, caring, and involved in our process from beginning to end. He showed up early and met the family, he calmed my nerves when I ran out frantic before walking down the aisle, and he married us beautifully. He was everything we wanted and more from our officiant!

    Made our special just that much more perfect!

    We were incredibly fortunate to have Rich as the officiant for our wedding. Despite the distance, he maintained excellent communication with us throughout the entire process. His flexibility and willingness to accommodate our needs, especially considering the distance, were truly remarkable. Rich tailored every aspect of the ceremony to reflect our preferences, ensuring it was both short and intimate, just as we envisioned. What truly set him apart was his wonderful sense of humor, which added warmth and joy to our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and would highly recommend Rich to anyone looking for a memorable and personalized wedding experience.

    Rich was pleasant to work with, funny, easygoing, and passionate about his work.

    We loved working with Rich! He was so kind, made us feel comfortable through the entire process, and did a great job at our ceremony. It was easy for us to share personal things with him, he has a great sense of humor, is welcoming, and is a good listener. He took the time to get to know us beforehand, and shared fun and special details during our ceremony from stories that we shared with him, and helped to guide us through the process. He is a great communicator and maintains professionalism. We highly recommend him if you’re looking for an officiant, he is amazing!

    Thank you Rich for being a part of our special day, it truly was a pleasure working with you.

    Pastor Rich is Amazing!!

    I would more than recommend Pastor Rich!! My husband and I reached out to Pastor Rich on a Tuesday night for a Sunday at home elopement, within two hours of reaching out, we had spoke on the phone and decided he was the perfect person to marry us. He kept in touch during the few days leading up to our ceremony, he confirmed the day before and even took our marriage license to the county for us the following day. He made our quick ceremony very special and he will always be a part of a wonderful memory for us from that day! Thank you for making our day incredibly special Pastor Rich!

    Pastor Rich is amazing

    Reach out to Pastor Rich, you won’t be disappointed! From the moment we contacted Pastor Rich to the day he performed our ceremony, he was a blessing. We had to move our ceremony from a destination wedding to a small ceremony at home due to a family illness. When we explained our situation to Pastor Rich, he started with a prayer for us and our family. He then met with us to get to know our love story and asked us to write about how we met so he could add our story to the ceremony. On the days leading up to the wedding we were unsure if we were going to have the ceremony at the hospital or our home, and Pastor Rich offered to perform two ceremonies, one at our home and another at the hospital if needed. On the wedding day just an hour before the ceremony we needed to have two ceremonies and Pastor Rich performed both without any question. After the ceremonies, our family and friends told us it felt like Pastor Rich had know us for years and he was amazing. Thank you Pastor Rich for making our day perfect; we will be forever grateful for you!

    Amazing experience

    Rich was amazing & personable! He met with us before out wedding and really got to know us. His ceremony was perfectly humorous and sentimental. He was on time and very dependable. I have had multiple people ask “where did you find such a great officiant?” He also took the time to meet our parents which was so special for them.

    The Perfect Pick!

    Rich was a dream to work with. He took the time to get to know and capture the essence of my husband and my relationship. He honored both us and our families by incorporating some Catholic traditions like the lasso into our service. He was able to get laughs from the crowd as well as tears from the audience with his beautiful words. His communications was always timely and professional. Rich was such an integral part of our seamless wedding day experience. I highly recommend his services!

    Best Officiant Ever

    Pastor Rich is AMAZING! You will not be disappointed if you choose him as your officiant. He goes above and beyond his service to provide a heart-warming, personalized ceremony to your needs. My husband and I had the opportunity to see him perform a cousin’s wedding and we loved him. So when I came across his profile, I did not hesitate to book him. What I loved about Pastor Rich was how much heart he put into our wedding. He met up with us to get to know us as a couple, he made the drive from out of town to our rehearsal, he gave us clear instructions on getting the marriage license, and he was prepared and present at the wedding. He made it soo easy for us. We had a lot of compliments on him as well. Some stating that his voice was so soothing, it really went well with the wedding. He also included reference regarding our unity activity which was the tying of three cords, which I absolutely loved. It was such a touching addition and really elevates the activity to another level, giving it that much more meaning behind it. So if you want a fabulous officiant, book with Rich. He is phenomenal!

    He made our ceremony special

    I didn't initially put a lot of thought or value into what would be said at the ceremony. He changed my mind on that. He took details about us and was able to use it in a way that made our ceremony unique to who we were. He made our ceremony so special. He was reliable and was on time to every meet up.

    Great officiant and a even better guy! He personalized our wedding to exactly how we wanted it. The way he talked about us, you would had thought we’d known him for years. We only met Rich a few months prior, but everyone thought we were family friends because how well he knew us. He was great to work with and we wouldn’t have had it any other way. Thanks Rich!!!

    10/10 recommend!

    It’s hard to find the words to describe Minister Rich, It was very important to me to have a loving ,family oriented, funny and joyful ceremony. And he captured that perfectly! There was a lot of laughter and a lot of tears. All my family truly enjoyed him. My now husband wanted him to read our vows to each other and so he had us send them to him and the way he prepared them was so perfect. He really took into consideration what my husband and I wanted to show and he delivered! If you are looking for a minister he is your 1# choice! You can’t go Wrong with Minister Rich!

    Amazing Officiant!

    Rich was a wonderful officiant for our ceremony. Very professional and easy to work with. He kept good contact and made sure everything he was going to say would fit perfectly. He also helps with the run down during the rehearsal of how everyone should walk during the ceremony which helped tremendously. 10/10 would recommend him!

    Rich is amazing and I'm so glad we booked him. Despite only knowing him for a short time, the ceremony felt very intimate and like we had known Rich for a long time. Would definitely recommend to others!

    Wonderful officiant!!

    Rich was so easy to work with from day one. He answered all of our questions, and helped us put together a ceremony unique to us. He did a wonderful job at the ceremony, we had many guests come up to us to let us know how beautiful it was! Rich was lighthearted to suit our personalities and gave heartfelt words of wisdom that had everyone teary-eyed. I can not recommend him enough!!

    Rich Wilson Is One Of a Kind

    Rich Wilson is one of a kind.
    He is funny, generous, kind and warm. He will tailor his officiant duties based on the imputes you give him. We met with him several times so he knew our personalities and what was important to us. The result was a service that touched everyone and will remain memorable for the rest of our days.

    Thank you Rich for your kind gentle manner, you might not of known it, but it relieved so much of our stress.

    A perfect spiritual and personal experience

    We knew Pastor Wilson was the perfect choice for our wedding after our first meeting. His genuine interest in our personal story and his willingness to share his life experiences made us feel as if we've known him for many years. As our wedding officiant, he provided the perfect blend of spirituality, personal touches and humor that portrayed our wedding exactly as we dreamed.

    Rich was perfect!

    Rich was so easy to work with. Responds very quickly, very personable and professional. This wasn’t our first time being married and the ceremony was just perfect! His wife is a doll too. We had a small, quaint ceremony with our grown children and grandchildren. I would highly recommend Rich! I wouldn’t have changed anything. Our wedding was perfect!

    Pastor Rich Wilson

    Having Pastor Wilson officiate our wedding was the best decision we could have made. He made the process easy for us as we planned our customized ceremony. It was important for us to have a ceremony that was tailored to us and told our love story. This added a special touch. If you’re looking for a reliable and jovial officiant, Pastor Wilson is the one!

    Having Pastor Rich as our wedding officiant was the easiest and best decision we made for our wedding. I could not imagine our wedding ceremony with anyone else as the officiant. The day we first met he was clearly the perfect choice. Pastor Rich is warm, funny and genuinely cares about your wedding, your love story and making it as personalized as possible. Along the way he was there to answer all our questions and give advice as needed. The wedding ceremony was perfectly tailored to us as a couple with plenty of humor and warm sentiments. I honestly cannot wait for the video so I can listen to his words again. I can't say thank you enough Pastor Rich for making our moment so wonderful. You're the best and I highly recommend you to all the brides out there!

    Realize Pastor Rich believes in love. And what manifests love,... Life experiences and respect. With that in mind know he will do his best to honor ALL marital requests, no matter how bizarre, as long as they do not disrespect the sanctity of marriage. Very blessed to have had him for our wedding.

    We found Rich very last minute for our wedding on November 5th, 2016. He luckily still had the date available and made every effort he could to get to know us in such a short amount of time! I don't think we could have found a better person to officiate our big day! Everything went so smoothly and the entire ceremony reflected our relationship in every way we wanted it to! I would definitely recommend Rich 10 times over to everyone I know! You won't be disappointed!

    Rich was wonderful! My husband and I had driven 26 hours to California from Kansas. I had made arrangements with an officiant before we left, but when arrived in California he didn't respond back. I was in a panic! I found Pastor Rich on Craigslist and could not be happier with his services. He agreed to do the service just 4 days before the wedding, and had to drive over 2 hours to the place we had chosen to get married. He was able to make it a very beautiful and personal experience. Thank you again pastor Rich for making my wedding perfect!

    Don't think twice....Pastor Rich is AMAZING! He makes the whole process comfortable and adds great humor to the experience. Very relatable, funny, and a great advisor. He officiated our wedding at Sequoia National Park, and his delivery blended well with the atmosphere of the ceremony. It was truly a One of a Kind Wedding!

    Pastor Rich was wonderful! My husband and I had recently moved and were not part of a church family, but having a faith based ceremony was very important to us. I reached out to Pastor Rich and after speaking on the phone, we decided to Skype. Looking back, I had a lot of requests...I knew that I wanted scripture, but I did not want the stereotypical verses. I wanted it to be a Christian ceremony, but I didn't want people to feel like they were being preached at for an hour. I wanted us to hand write our vows, but I wanted Pastor Rich to mediate. Pastor Rich certainly delivered -- on all of these things! Not only that, he was happy and light-hearted, and a perfect fit for my husband and our families. Our ceremony was everything I had imagined and I had several people tell me it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever witnessed. I could not have been happier with my decision to use Pastor Rich, I would recommend him to anyone and everyone! He will not disappoint!
    Thank you again, Pastor Rich!

    We got married in Sequoia National Forest last month, in a crazy Middle Earth/Lord of the Rings themed wedding, and we wanted to find an officiant in the area who would be willing to be part of it all. Rich was the perfect choice! He met with us initially to get a sense of who we are (individually and as a couple) and what we wanted, and helped us plan our ceremony. He made sure that he understood what we wanted to focus on in our ceremony, and what little things would be important to us. He cheerfully agreed to dress as Gandalf for the ceremony, and delivered the perfect balance between lighthearted fun and respect for the importance of the occasion. He gave us the guidance we needed to create a ceremony that was perfect for us, that reflected who we are and what we love about each other, while still honoring God.

    I am a wedding and event planner with Fairy Godmother a Wedding and Event Planning Company. I helped hire Rich for a couple of mine that were getting married September 17th 2016. Rich was extremely professional, arrived early and preformed wonderfully! Our couple had a themed wedding and he was more than willing to wear the costume they wanted. He went above and beyond for their special day to make it unique! His responses to emails and phone calls are prompt, as well. Thank you Rich for all your professionalism and services!

    My husband and I got married in San Diego last month and were recommended Rich Wilson to officiate our ceremony. We had dreamed of having a beach wedding and wanted a ceremony that was personal and captured our personalities. Although we both grew up religious, we did not want your traditional ceremony. Rich spent time getting to know us and learn about our relationship and how we fell in love, as well as he shared things about himself that helped us feel really comfortable with him. We got tons of compliments about how our ceremony was one of the best people had been too. We had tons of people crying and laughing throughout the ceremony. We did not want to read our own vows, but we still wanted some elements of surprise so Rich had us each write why we wanted to marry each other and what we loved about the other person. The way Rich shared our vows was amazing, his voice was full of passion and emotion. I am excited to recommend him to others and wish him a blessed life.

    Pastor Rich Wilson was recommended to us for our wedding this past November, and we sure are grateful we received the recommendation. My husband and I felt so at ease when it came to speaking with him from the very beginning; you can truly tell he cares about making your day a special one. Rich took the time to get to know us as a couple, helping to create a very personal and heartfelt ceremony.

    He took time to meet up with us prior in order to help guide us though every aspect of the ceremony (allowing us to feel at ease the day of), answered any and all questions we came across along the way, and was on time and prepared the day of. My husband and I cannot recommend him enough. We were incredibly happy to have him there to officiate on our special day.

    Thank you Pastor Rich Wilson for helping to make our wedding day a most memorable one.

    Pastor Rich is the absolute best! We planned our wedding on short notice for Thanksgiving weekend...not a great idea but my bride-to-be found this awesome man through this site! Not only did he agree to perform the ceremony he made a 3 mile hike up the mountain to the cross where we wanted to marry! We have made a life-long friend in Pastor Rich and his quiet, kind, caring demeanor. If you want an unforgettable wedding experience in The Palm Springs, Coachella Valley, Pastor Rich is the man for you.

    We were very nervous when trying to find an officiant and we knew it was going to be a very important decision to make our wedding day special. We live about 4 hours away from our wedding venue, so we were not sure how to go about finding someone who would meet our needs and that would connect with us. We were referred to Rich and it was the best decision we could have made to contact him. He was always available to us and easy to talk to. He went out of his way to meet with us face to face and we had an instant connection. He was very calming, professional, and confident in his work and ability to make our wedding day perfect. He was always in contact with us and had a contract that he upheld. He wanted to know all about us and our families and he used this in the ceremony which was very unique and special to us. He knew exactly what we wanted and you can tell he spent time perfecting what he needed to say. Not only was the ceremony perfect, but Rich had such a wonderful personality and was so friendly from start to finish. His heart is definitely in his work and we feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to have him be such a huge part of the most memorable day of our lives. Absolutely no regrets.

    (Married 1/21/2001)
    Rich led our wedding ceremony almost 15 years ago in Malibu, California. I can't imagine anyone else offically bringing me and my husband together. It was very important to me that it be Rich and not someone who just says the words necessary to "tie the knot". Rich's caring demeanor and calm personality brought a deep and peaceful authenticity to the ceremony. It just wouldn't have been the same without him.

    Rich was referred to me by a fellow officiant and after speaking to him on the phone for a short while I knew I wanted him to officiate our wedding! He is very personable and sweet. He wanted to know as much as possible about my fiance and I so that he could make our ceremony as personal as possible and he did exactly that! I felt as if we had known eachother for years. He has a fun wit about him that makes the ceremony more fun. He was willing to incorporate anything we wanted into the ceremony and he was very flexible. He came to the rehearsal four hours before the wedding and stayed a little while after the ceremony. We also misplaced the marriage license at the venue and did not find it until the next day and he made himself available to meet with us to sign the marriage license later in the weekend and even offered to drive to our house which is over an hour from his house. I would definitely recommend him to officiate any wedding!

    My husband and I are so grateful we found Rich to officiate our wedding. I was very particular of the person I wanted to marry us and I was a little hesitant at first when searching for an officiant online. Asking other vendors for recommendations, we were referred to Rich. Rich is a very easy going, sweet and gentle man. During our face to face meeting, we had the opportunity to get to know one another. Rich was very attentive and observant of how my fiancé and I interacted. Rich took this visit and "Our Story" from our wedding website and incorporated it into our ceremony. He gave us the reigns and wanted our ceremony to be our own, but was there for questions and guidance. For our ceremony we wanted to incorporate simple traditional vows with our own vows and Rich forwarded examples with different wording to help us decide. The ceremony ran very smoothly. Rich added a personal touch by showing our guests a picture of our dogs, who are a huge part of our family but weren't allowed to be on the premises. It brought a smile to our faces, knowing how much we wanted them both there. Rich came the distance for both the rehearsal and our wedding day and went above and beyond his duties as an officiant. I strongly recommend Rich from One of A Kind Wedding to officiate your special day.

    Rich Wilson added so much to our wedding with his soft soul, beautiful words, and keen insight into relationships. To this day, I can remember the words he spoke to us during our special moment, and they have helped keep me focused on what's important in my relationship. I feel like he set the perfect tone as we entered into such a new phase of our lives.

    I have known Rich for many years, so when it came time for my wedding, there was no one else I would have chosen! He was able to make my husband-to-be and I feel very comfortable and cared for - even with a wedding that was far from 'traditional'! I loved that everything we requested, he did for us without any hesitation, including using a Jewish wedding tent (and we're not Jewish). Our wedding was very custom designed, and Rich made our day wonderfully special with his humor and kindness. I know without doubt, that anyone looking to have a great wedding experience would be extremely happy to have Rich officiating!

    The best officiant

    Rich is an amazing officiant. Very detailed oriented, very open minded to non-traditional details in a ceremony, and amazing with everyone. He took the time to get to know us and really personalized our ceremony to us and our life.
