My husband and I always pictured a friend officiating our wedding: someone who got us as humans, could weave together the details of our story & speak eloquently with a warm energy. From the moment we reached out to Rachel, we knew she was the ...
right pick. She's all of the above and more. She took the time to learn about how Tom and I met and made sure the ceremony truly felt like a reflection of us. She’s patient and quick to respond when we had questions, and she’s clearly passionate about her work. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful officiant on our wedding day. We are so grateful to Rachel for her ability to listen and put together our story in such a beautiful way—she helped us create our dream ceremony!

Rachel of Custom Weddings is THE BEST!!! She was so responsive, kind, and made our day just wonderful and stress-free. We didn't even know that the structure of our ceremony would make all the difference, though she seemed to understand exactly...

We are so grateful that we found Rachel to marry us! My wife and I had very different ideas of how we wanted to get married, but one thing we did agree on was that we had our hearts set on an experience that was uniquely ‘us’. She took time to ...
sit down with us and explore what our individual visions were and find places that blended perfectly. The result was a moving experience. We couldn’t have dreamed up something better. Her energy is infectious and her love of her work is clear. Do yourself a favor and book her!

We absolutely could not have been happier with Rachel and Custom Weddings. My wife and I had a decent idea what to expect when choosing a caterer, florist, etc., but we knew less than nothing about creating our wedding ceremony. Rachel sat do...
wn with us and walked us through the process of designing a ceremony that was absolutely perfect for us. She presented us with so many options for all of the different sections of the ceremony that we felt as though the script had been written just for us. Not only that, but Rachel's delivery was flawless; she was professional and well-spoken, but also included just enough humor to calm our nerves. If you want an officiant who will work with you to make your wedding perfect, then look no further! Rachel was the perfect choice for our ceremony, and we can't recommend her highly enough.

With over 25 years of book publishing experience, words mean everything to me. When I got married in the midst of COVID lockdown, I didn’t stop to think about the importance of “who” married us. I missed an opportunity to make a very special moment in my life even more memorable and personal, and that regret led me to creating Custom Weddings. I love to celebrate couples, and to give them the special experience they deserve as they begin their life together is an honor.
