always and 4 ever ceremonies

Rev. Rachel was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to make our ceremony beautiful and to explain everything along the way. Though we did not know her personally the ceremony still had a personalized feel to it. We would highly recommend Rev and Rachel!

My husband and I were engaged for over 10 years, but due to the cost of healthcare once married, we were never able to actually get married. When our situation changed and we could finally tie the knot officially, we didn't want to wait at all. We contacted Rachel on a Wednesday and ended up having our ceremony two days later, on a Friday afternoon. We just wanted it to be the two of us and were truly only looking for someone to sign the papers and take care of the legal stuff, but, my goodness, we got so much more!!! Thanks to Rachel, our wedding ended up being one of the most special things we've ever experienced. It was a beautiful fall day, and rather than doing the ceremony at our house, Rachel suggested we walk to the park across the street where she found the perfect spot between two trees near the river. Keeping with the theme of fall, her message compared the changes we would see in our life together to the changes we were seeing around us in nature. (We asked for a non-religious ceremony and she totally respected that.) Through her incredibly thoughtful message, she made us feel even more connected to each other and to the world around us. It was just so beautiful and perfect. And as it turns out, it didn't end up being just the two of us there at all--a flock of geese were nestled in the grass behind us. It was a moment we'll never forget, and that is all because of Rachel. As for the more logistical things, Rachel was easy to get in touch with and always responded promptly to each communication. We had most of our conversations via text which was really convenient for me and my preferred way to communicate. Her fee was very reasonable, and she, of course, was super knowledgable about all the marriage legalities. She took care of filing our paperwork promptly and even gave us a timeline so we would know what to expect with getting our marriage certificate. All in all, it was a smooth, hassle-free, personal, and deeply meaningful experience. I whole-heartedly recommend Rachel to anyone getting married in any type of ceremony. We feel so lucky we found her!!

Rachel was very professional, and help lead my whole bridal team she made everything so easy for us the day of the wedding and it was perfect she was the best definitely recommend rachel! Thank you Rachel !!

I highly recommend Rachel if you're looking for an officiant for your wedding. We ended up in need of an officiant last-minute and she was very quick to respond! She was extremely professional, courteous, and understanding in assisting us. Her ceremony options were customizable, so we were able to mix and match to put together the reading that was right for our wedding. Rachel was also very helpful in guiding us through the process during a quick rehearsal and keeping everyone on track on the wedding day itself.

My husband and I were going to be celebrating our 55th anniversary and thought we should do something a little special. We decided we wanted to renew our vows and Rachel was the perfect choice! She came to our home where we gathered around our pond joining hands as Rachel spoke of our young love that has endured all these years! It was a wonderful day! Now if only I could of still fit in my wedding gown it would of been perfect…lol Thank you Rachel for officiating our special day, you were awesome!

We are so grateful that Rachel officiated our wedding. In the months leading up to the big day, we had two video calls with her to discuss our plans and preferences. Rachel was very helpful in compiling a lovely ceremony script. She was thoughtful and flexible, and addressed important matters that we had not considered yet. On our wedding day, she arrived early and took the time to get to know everyone. She made us feel very comfortable. Then, Rachel led the short ceremony wonderfully and confidently, clearly invested in what was happening. Afterwards, she quickly signed the marriage license and waited patiently for us to toast and cut the cake. We were also very pleased that Rachel was willing to file the paperwork the next day, so that we were able to pick up our marriage certificate the same week.

We cannot express the happiness you have brought us. Thank you for officiating our wedding. You helped us create a beautiful ceremony that we will always remember. What Made it that much more personal was how you customized our ceremony to reflect who we are as a couple. We sincerely thank you for celebrating our joy and for being a part of our special day
