Rick was a fantastic choice to officiate our wedding. We chose a location that wasn’t the easiest to get to, requiring a hike to get to, and Rick was more than up for the challenge. What he said during the ceremony was moving, making us both laugh and cry. I can’t recommend him more highly.

Rick prepared a wonderful personal ceremony for our elopement. It was a perfect ceremony and aligned with our Christian views of marriage. He also provided a printed copy of the ceremony for us which we will be able to put in our scrapbook to reminisce about our wedding for years to come. We highly recommend Rick to perform your wedding!
