We could not have asked for a better officiant for our small wedding ceremony! I didn’t give Ray a whole lot of time to prepare (about 24 hours) and he absolutely hit it out of the park!!

The script that was written for our ceremony was the most thought out, personalized, memorable, and beautiful script I’ve ever heard at a wedding. He took all of our wants into consideration, and my entire family was very impressed with what he was able to pull off.

Bluegrass
wedding officiant was so accommodating, we threw so many challenges his way, and he took them all on with a smile, and made absolutely sure that I got the dream wedding I had always wanted. Down to the location, the structure of the ceremony itself, and he thought of things that I didn’t to really enhance the experience.

He did some research and was even able to accommodate some cultural things to add in. Every problem we threw at him, he came back with an amazing solution and made our wedding day better than I had imagined it could be, with such short notice.

We will always appreciate, and recommend Bluegrass
wedding officiant!

Thank you so much for letting us be a part of the ceremony. The “little chapel” you worked so hard on was absolutely breathtaking. Welcome to the Bluegrass Wedding Family.

Ray and Renee were such amazing people and you can really tell they love doing what they do. They’re extremely reasonable with pricing and so helpful along the way with whatever it could be that’d you’d need help with or advice with. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for an officiant!
