Rachel made our special day one we will always remember!

Working with Rachael as our wedding officiant was easy and flawless. Rachael was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and helped us create a beautiful ceremony script that spoke to us about love, family, union, and allowed us to tailor the ceremony to fit everything we dreamed of. She was there every step of the way from the moment we chose her, through the planning, and deeply personable involvement the day of the wedding. Thank you, Rachael, for your kindness, ideas, guidance and for being such an important part of our big day! We would highly recommend Ceremony by Rachael as the officiant for your wedding day; she will help you make the best memories that will last a lifetime!

Amazing experience

Coming up with a plan for an officiant was one of the more difficult decisions my husband and I went through during our wedding planning process – until we met Rachael. From my initial call with Rachael to several Zooms during the vow planning process, we felt comfortable and confident with her experience. She provided us with several options for our ceremony and worked with us to make it special. She’s very thorough in her job and wants everyone to feel prepared. She is someone you can trust to do right and well, and we highly recommend her if you are considering her as your officiant!

Small Backyard Wedding

First of all, I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! I reached out to her about a month before our wedding, and we quickly worked out scheduling and details! She was SO easy to communicate with, and quickly got us on the right track. We had a Zoom call with her a few days before the ceremony so we could get to know her a little bit and work out more specifics for our ceremony, and she definitely went above and beyond with helpfulness! On the ceremony day, she came in and we all instantly loved her! She was very professional, but we also felt like she was genuinely excited for us. Her ceremony was short and sweet, and the thought she had put into the vows was so apparent. We absolutely loved our experience with Rachael!

When we photograph a wedding and hear that Rachel is going to be officiating, we know that the ceremony is going to fun, whimsical, and sweet! She has a natural talent for engagement with both couples and guests and it's the little things she does that make photographing ceremonies with her so rewarding; from the moment of reflection where she has the bride & groom stand together and just gaze into each others' eyes to the way she steps back for the first kiss so we have a photo of just the bride & groom, her consideration and attention to detail is remarkable. Everyone loves Rachel, especially us!

You can tell that Rachael really cares about her clients and puts a lot of time into ensuring that the clients are getting what they want out of their ceremony. As a fellow vendor, i really appreciated how Rachael worked collaboratively and made sure that the couple have the perfect moments for us to capture during the ceremony. I highly recommend Rachael if you’re looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond!
