Introduction: I have received 5 stars for every wedding I have performed. My schedule does not allow me to perform a lot of ceremonies, but when I can, I love to help couples with this special occasion. I really enjoy seeing the "sparkle" in the eyes of the couple as they exchange vows on their special day.

Wedding was March 26,2016 and Kirk Ritchey came to our home to officiate us. We set a date and planned our wedding in only a month and it turned out perfect! But Kirk was quick to respond and flexible. In the few times we spoke prior to the wedding he was very attentive and paid close attention to the people we are which made our ceromony perfect to us. I am so glad we chose him to marry us I don't think our ceromony would of been the same. The scriptures he chose for us were perfect and I have to say I love the way he explained the meanings of the scriptures and I will truly live my marriage by the words that were spoken. If I ever know anyone looking for an officiant to marry them I hands down recommend Kirk Ritchey .

Oh my gosh!!! Thank you Kirk Ritchey for an amazing wedding ceremony. If you are looking for an officiant Kirk is the one. He came in and calmed people down that were running around doing last minute things. Also took control of the groom and our attendants and kept them calm also. He took the info of us as individuals and joined that info into us being one going forward. All of our guests said it was the single most beautiful ceremony they have ever seen. Most of our guest are in their late fifties and have attended many weddings, so it really says alot about Kirk. What an outstanding ceremony. You were awesome Kirk. Thank you so much. Looking forward to our future. Sincerely and forever. Mr. and Mrs. John Patrick Doaks.

From start to finish, Kirk handled our wedding in a very professional way. He was very prompt contacting me regarding his interest in performing the service. Once I awarded the contract to him, which only took a short while after I received all the input from other providers. Kirk then contacted me and asked gentle questions to get a feel about what my wife to be and myself were all about. He arrived at my home to perform the ceremony and very quickly established himself as a very friendly, confident professional. His service, that included religious remarks per our request were absolutely on target based on what we had discussed earlier on. Each person at our small wedding were immensely impressed, as well as my new wife and I. He was superb in the ceremony in that he demonstrates and speaks with great poise and ensures that he is completely sharing a very personal experience, through us, and to the guests as well. My thoughts reflect each of the previous remarks made by other clients of Kirk; he was spot on. Made us feel very comfortable and at peace with our selection to have Kirk officiate. Will endorse him at any for any type of marriage ceremony with gratitude and pleasure.

It was only 5 days before my wedding and on such short notice he did everything so perfect. I couldn't ask for anyone better to marry me and my husband. He was very professional and gave us great spiritual and knowledge on how to keep a marriage healthy and great.

Kirk was exceptional, entertaining, spot on and everyone commented on how wonderful the service was. The best wedding I have ever been to was some of the feed back we received. I would highly without a doubt recommend him!

A phone call, text messages, or emails until we decide if we are a good match. I am flexible.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a doctorate in leadership development. This influences much of my current reading/research. I try to stay reasonably informed on newer trends in wedding ceremonies. I find that the couples who are getting married are oftentimes the ones that keep me current.
