My husband and I recently had the pleasure of renewing our wedding vows under the guidance and leadership of Pastor Rick, and it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we reached out to Pastor Rick to discuss our vision for the ceremony, we knew we were in capable hands. His warmth, empathy, and genuine interest in making our ceremony meaningful to us were evident from our very first conversation. Pastor Rick took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding the journey we had been on since our wedding day and the significance of renewing our vows. He listened attentively to our desires for the ceremony, offering guidance and suggestions while always respecting our wishes. His ability to strike the perfect balance between tradition and personalization ensured that our ceremony felt uniquely ours. On the day of the ceremony, Pastor Rick’s presence was a calming influence amidst the whirlwind of emotions. His words were profound yet accessible, resonating with both of us. He seamlessly integrated elements of faith into the ceremony, honoring our spiritual beliefs. One of the most remarkable aspects of Pastor Rick’s approach was his ability to infuse humor and light-heartedness into the proceedings, creating moments of joy and laughter that will be cherished for years to come. His genuine affection for people and his calling to unite couples in love were evident in every word he spoke and every gesture he made. We cannot recommend Pastor Rick highly enough to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated officiant for their wedding renewal ceremony. His ability to create a sacred and joyous space where love can be celebrated is truly a gift, and we feel immensely blessed to have had him guide us through this important milestone in our journey together. Thank you, Pastor Rick, for making our wedding renewal ceremony an experience we will treasure always. Sincerely, Roland and Kara Garza

Rick is the best officiant ever! We are so blessed that he officiated our special day!!! His calm and peaceful demeanor made our wedding a beautiful event and we had lots of compliments from our friends and family. He guided us thoughtfully in preparing for our ceremony and exceeded our expectations. He was so prompt in responding to our emails and gave us some great feedback while we went the planning process. The words he shared at our ceremony were meaningful, and sincere…in short it was everything we could have wished for and more! Thank you Rick!

We loved Rick & would highly recommend to anyone looking for an officiant. He met with us before the wedding to get to know more about us which helped him personalize our ceremony. He reached out to us for clarification & also responded quickly when we had questions. On the day of the wedding his was a calming force and kept things light. In his invocation he was able to accurately capture our love story and also added humor in as well. He is such an easy going man and helped make our ceremony perfect. A lot of our guests commented on how they really liked him too!

What a pleasure to work with Rick. He was on time and listened to everything we wanted. He adapted to technical situations from our DJ calmly. What a joy to have him sermon the good word. Attentive to our needs even after his job was done. Thank you so much Rick!
