Reverend Harding was absolutely amazing and made our wedding ceremony everything we dreamed it would be. He took the time to get to know us, provided beautifully written vows to choose from, and created a ceremony that felt deeply personal and heartfelt.
His warm and calming presence on the big day put us at ease, and his words resonated with us and our guests. So many people commented on how meaningful the ceremony was.
If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and will make your day unforgettable, Reverend Harding is the perfect choice. We will always treasure the beautiful memories he helped create!

I love Reverend Harding! He mixes professionalism, humor, and kindness together so well. He made me, my husband, and my entire family feel at ease when conducting our wedding ceremony. The ceremony itself was beautiful and Reverend Harding is a genuine person. I would highly recommend him for others.

Reverend Richard was an exceptional officiant for our wedding. He provided us with several ceremony scripts and vows to choose from, which we could edit to our liking. He respected our wish for a short ceremony and delivered it beautifully. During the ceremony, when I started feeling nervous, his calm presence made me feel comfortable and at ease. We are so grateful for his support and highly recommend him!

Having Rev Richard as our weddingofficiant made our wedding so carefree. He took care of all of the "legalities" which meant we did not have to worry about the paperwork. He also met with us months before the wedding to nail down our "vibe", vow options, and just got to know us as a couple. A total professional with reliable communication.

Pastor Richard was beyond incredible! As soon as we met him, it felt like we had known him for years. We had a meeting about six months before the wedding to meet each other and go over what we would like for the ceremony. We knew at that meeting it was fate that we had found him! He contacted us several times leading up to the wedding making sure everything was going well. He attended our rehearsal and put any worries or nerves about the ceremony at ease. The day of the wedding, he was beyond gracious. The ceremony was so personal. Everything was heartfelt and he even added his witty charm into the ceremony. We cannot recommend Pastor Richard enough! He is a lovely soul and we are so happy we not only found an officiant, but found a friend.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I feel that my pricing is fair with today's standards, besides all of the monies received go to feeding others whom cannot afford what we take for granted.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First would like to meet you and your fiancee to determine the best way to make your day special and how we can make your wedding ceremony memorable.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
After many years of ministry studies I received my ordainment in Nov. 2013 as a non-denominational minister.
