So Easy to Work With

Rev Russ was amazing from the first meeting where we got to learn more about Rev Russ and his process, to the day of our wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and Russ's energy was perfect. He was there for us every step of the way and even helped us with writing our vows. If you get the opportunity to work with Russ, you won't regret it. He will make your wedding ceremony very special.

If you want the very best

You should only select Rev Russ to officiate your wedding ceremony if you want the best wedding officiant.

My now husband and I have been where you are today. You are trying to select an officiant for your wedding ceremony. There are plenty to choose from on The Knot and Wedding Wire. Not to mention friends and family members who may want to do it. (Don’t go there!)

Selecting a wedding officiant was one of the last vendors we selected. Somehow, we had overlooked that our officiant was one of the most important choices we were to make.
Thankfully Rev Russ was available and our dream wedding was guaranteed to become a reality.

Do yourself a favor and ask Rev Russ for an appointment to get together…you will be glad you did.
