Captain Ray was the perfect choice for us

My husband and I were so fortunate to have found Captain Ray to officiate our ceremony. We were from out of state, so we met with him virtually to walk through our story and he made the process so easy for us. He created a very thoughtful ceremony script that touched on so many unique aspects of our relationship. His kind, calm and professional demeanor helped to calm our nerves. We couldn't be happier with the way the ceremony was delivered and are so thankful for his time and effort towards our most special day. Thank you, Captain Ray!

Best Decision Ever!

We hired Captain Ray to officiate our wedding because my Husband is a Yacht Captain. He was on time, so friendly and after asking us many questions about us during our first meeting, came up with the most beautiful ceremony, almost as if he'd known us for years. On our wedding day, he was so impressive in his uniform, well prepared and everything went just as planned. He delivered our license to the local courthouse the very next business day and emailed us the stamped copy that same day. He was outstanding! Definitely one of our best decisions for our wedding day.
