Let's Knot and Say We Did

cation was excellent, every detail was planned beautifully, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. It was the most special and effortless way to enjoy the most perfect day. Rene and Abria were phenomenal for hair and makeup, so talented and so much fun to start the day with. And Sidney, our photographer, was absolutely amazing. She’s such a sweetheart and matched our energy and vibes perfectly. Everyone seemed to really hear us and care about every step of our experience.  10/10, truly the best day ever!

we were in the best hands. From start to finish, Rich, Shelby, Kelsey, and the entire team were incredibly communicative, responsive, patient, kind, and genuinely enthusiastic. They took the time to really get to know us and understand the kind of experience we wanted. Honestly, if you can dream it, this team can make it happen. Rich and Shelby are absolute experts at what they do. Our elopement day itself was pure magic and by far the easiest and most joyful day of our lives. We showed up with just our dress and suit, and everything else had already been beautifully taken care of. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, leaving us free to simply soak in the moment. The entire day was filled with laughter, love, and zero stress. We would relive it over and over again if we could!

come to life. Florals, hair and makeup, ceremony and logistics, it was all taken care of! It was a day more perfect than we could ever plan ourselves. Everyone on the team was kind, professional, and genuinely happy to be part of our day. We never felt stressed or rushed. They gave us moments to breathe, laugh, take it all in, and just be together as a couple. Our guests kept saying how perfect everything felt, and we totally agree. Now we're home, still walking on air, and we keep talking about how happy we are to have done it this way and so thankful we trusted this amazing team with our story. If you're even thinking of eloping, do it with AEC! We would do it again in a heartbeat!

ess than that. If you accept anything less than that then go somewhere else that will take all your money and leave you stressed out; otherwise, keep reading. When I say that the only thing we had to worry about was where to eat for dinner the night of our wedding, I'm not joking. For whatever reason that was still the hardest decision to make and Rich & Shelby still made that easy with all their recommendations. They took care of literally everything! EVERYTHING! That doesn't come with giving a little something....trust. You can definitely be as involved as you want to be in this process, and we decided to let the collective do most of the decision making, all we had to do was send the inspo. Their photographer and videographers are incredible. I didn't even do a hair and make up trial, literally met her day of and it SLAYED! Flowers, sent inspo, it was so beautiful that we decided to preserve it in resin. They provide a detailed list of the things you need, so you don't have to think about it. They come up with the entire wedding timeline, they even help you by laying out options so you can choose your own adventure, quite literally. We went off roading for our wedding and had an absolute BLAST! My husband and I have been to quite a few weddings and we've seen people stressed out throughout the process. We got to date each other throughout ours. It's a lot mentally, emotionally, financially, to plan a wedding. The collective helps eliminate most of that stress so you get to enjoy being engaged. You get to enjoy your wedding day. Working with the collective was the best wedding decision we made and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Rich, Shelby, their vendors, and entire team are truly amazing and caring people. We will always recommend them for small, intimate, elopement style weddings.

nd not to mention, the pictures are EXACTLY what my fiancé was hoping for. They were extremely communicative throughout the entire process which made it much easier and overall were just really cool people. If you are on the fence about selecting photographer, I mean this wholeheartedly; look no further! And Doug is the coolest dog in the world by the way! Cannot thank you three enough for making our special moment just that much more special!

on transported us into a realm of ethereal wedding beauty. Waking before dawn, we hiked up to Cathedral Rock at 3:30 AM, where the world was shrouded in stillness, and the promise of a glorious sunrise awaited us. Rich and Shelby’s adventurous spirit made this early trek one of the highlights of our journey, and captured the importance of the sunrise pre-ceremony we wished for. Midday, the incredible cacao ceremony and yoga session they led grounded us in a shared intention, enveloping us in a space of love and connection. The serene sound bath, echoing through the desert, further deepened our experience, creating a tapestry of sensations that resonated within our hearts. We were able to rest, recharge, and reconnect to ourselves and one another. Later that day, their talented team of artists—from the stunning makeup and hair stylist to the enchanting Super 8 videography—brought our vision to life. Each detail was crafted with care, reflecting the sacredness of our union. The sunset ceremony, framed by the majestic red rocks of Sedona at Secret Slick, was nothing short of breathtaking. With Cathedral Rock in the background, it was exactly what we imagined and more! Peter and I are eternally grateful to Rich and Shelby for curating an unforgettable celebration of our love. Their unwavering support, enthusiasm, and artistry blessed us with a day that transcended our dreams—an experience woven into the very fabric of the Sedona desert we love so very much. Thank you, Arizona Elopement Collective, for crafting a day that will live in our hearts forever.<3

guys??" and 3) That it was the most intimate, personalized, and delightful ceremony!! Beyond this, we learned that Rich is consistently thoughtful, intentional, and just an extremely cool person. He helped make the whole process stress-free and unique to us.

tant day stress-free and super smooth -- the last thing we wanted to worry about were day-of logistics, but Rich and Shelby helped us organize an agenda and made sure that all of our vendors and celebrants were on schedule. We could not be happier with the pre-wedding consultations, officiating, and photography services provided by Let's Knot and Say We Did - We highly recommend them to anyone looking for an intimate and intentional elopement style / micro-wedding!

rsonal/intimate. Rich and Shelby are hands down some of the most incredible humans we've ever met. We had a vision and they brought it to LIFE! They were there for us every step of the way- from the our first zoom "interview" to parting our ways post ceremony-- they even stopped by our reception, how cool?! We are so extremely grateful for their genuine commitment to their customers' happiness and to bringing out the authenticity of our relationship and channeling into the most beautiful, unforgettable ceremony ever. Rich officiating, Shelby capturing the day.. the whole package!! They were our people for about 7 months. They were (are) accessible, reliable, and brilliant. They've touched us beyond our wedding; inspired us to both live a life more freely and true to ourselves. We never dreamt we would connect with a "wedding planner" so much- but what they offer is different. You won't understand until you experience it. Highly recommend, hands down. Felt like a break up when our wedding was over- even though I'm 99% sure neither one of them would hesitate to answer a random call from us. We wouldn't change a single thing.

made the ceremony like she’d known us for years. Super real and we’d both genuinely love to have some beers with her down the road. Thank you for everything!

ceremony we had the opportunity of working with Brittany, who is by far the sweetest most grounding soul in existence. Brittany captured the essence of us and was able to script a ceremony completely tailored to us and our love. We got so may complements from our guests on what a beautiful ceremony it was and many people asking if our officiant was a lifelong friend since she knew us so well. Would recommend Brittany with all my heart. She will keep you present, grounded, and guide you through your vows with ease.

edding in the midst of a pandemic. Being from the other side of the globe planning a wedding in the United States was just overwhelming. I had no idea how or when the wedding would happen. I just knew one thing, I wanted to get married to my wonderful husband, have our parents there and celebrate our love. Obviously like any bride to be I started doing an extensive research into wedding planners and all-inclusive packages. All that I was presented with was pages and pages of brochures with no human contact really. I came across Let’s Knot at the very end and knew instantly if anyone was going to marry us it had to be them. The website truly represents what they stand for. Within days of reaching out Rich and Shelby arranged for us to meet virtually and in person and iron out some details. I still remember getting off the call me and my husband said to each other, ‘Hell yeah these guys are getting us married!’ Over the next few weeks Rich, Shelby and the entire team got in touch with us to get to know the tiny little details that even I wouldn’t have thought of. They planned EVERY SINGLE thing, the decor, flowers, music, unity ceremony, make up and even our Limo ride. All I did was get dressed on the day of the wedding, enjoy a nice brunch with my mum and dad and drive down to the ceremony. I was stress free knowing exactly what was going to happen and when, because guess what they even gave me an itinerary with all the parts of the ceremony. On the day of the wedding Rich reached out and made sure we were feeling great, the ceremony was amazing and heartfelt. While we clicked couples pictures he even hung out with our parents. My father-in-law said that it seemed as though Rich really knew us as he was officiating our wedding. All the details everything, mind-blowing. The memory of the day is still fresh in my mind. Rich really helped us celebrate our love in the most unique way. If you are someone who is confused, doesn’t know where to start and wants something truly special and intimate don’t look any further. The experience of getting married by Let's Knot in the most intimate setting is something you don't want to miss out on. Did I also mention that they pulled all this off in less than three weeks after I contacted them? Yep, that’s how AWESOME they are!

ore the wedding and he truly made our ceremony so much better than we could have imagined! Our family and friends had thought he knew us for years and he was comical yet so thoughtful in his choice of wording and it was truly the best. It was truly a special ceremony I will never forget and I thank Rich for making the best day of my life even better!!!!

un that put us at ease. And really set the stage to the start of a fun and happy day. She is a true professional and we were so happy with the vows. Kristina and Zack Sutley

Your kindness is genuine! Your knowledge, experience, patience, and creativity you two bring is everything and more than we could have ever expected! We appreciate your flexibility and guidance through the hiccups and your focus on our values, along with your constant communication. We felt comfortable from our very first email to the end! Thank you again!

the right questions along with taking detailed notes.....it truly made our day amazing! It was as if one of my best friends that had known us for years was speaking in front of our family on our wedding day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

were upset that I had been hiding such a good friend that they had never met. Rich truly made everyone feel like they had known us for years and he captured our spirit and our hopes for the day perfectly. If you are looking for an officiant for your big day, you won’t find anyone better than “Let’s Knot and Say We Did.”

y made our ceremony one we will never, ever forget. We were so overwhelmed (which I'm sure he noticed from our family and my nonstop tears!) by the beautiful ceremony he prepared. Every word was so heart-felt and perfect and poetic. My husband(!) and I felt like we'd known Rich for years and he was an old friend. We wouldn't change a thing and that is all thanks to Rich. We couldn't recommend him more - if we could give 10 stars, we most certainly would! Thank you so much again, Rich!!

arrived to our ceremony with the perfect spirit of accommodation and support. We were beyond relieved, and forever grateful for them both. We very highly recommend, and I will absolutely pass on their names to anyone else getting married. Much gratitude!

er our ceremony as if he’s known us forever. He captured our relationship perfectly!

added that magic that was much needed in these crazy times, thank you for everything! Simply amazing.

and very likeable. Everything turned out fantastic at our wedding and he made everything stress free and comfortable. A recommend this guy, one hell of a guy man.

th genuine, heartfelt interest. He made us feel like our story meant something to him, and we couldn't have asked for anything more than that. He was so supportive in what may have been one of the hardest things my husband has ever done... writing vows! He has just the right tips, input, and love in his heart to get you on the right track. We highly recommend Rich if you are looking for warmth, reliability, communication, support and a heartfelt officiant. Thank you for being you, Rich!

ll recommend him to any client of mine. He personalized his service to each client, was well spoken yet relaxed, and a pleasure to work with as another vendor. You can stop searching for the perfect officiant... hire Rich!

our own vows feel a lot less daunting. On the day of the ceremony he was punctual, patient, and willing to help out however he could. We are so grateful for Rich and highly recommend him!

ve demeanor that made everything feel special and run smoothly!! So happy with our choice. Thanks Rich!

helpful! A huge THANK YOU!

e could have wished for and more! Thank you Richard !”

personality is what really won us over. He’s such a great guy and was committed to us being comfortable and my wife happy (lol). Can’t recommend Rich enough. My brother-in-law already booked him!

communication with us and had a wonderful ceremony which incorporated all of the things we requested plus much more that he got out of us when we had our meeting. I would definitely recommend him.

e to us and our story. It was as if we had known him for years. He also had a creative idea for our unity ceremony that was very special to us. It’s evident that he loves what he does and he goes the extra mile to make your day meaningful. Not to mention he married us in a pandemic and was extremely flexible with everything going on. We are so happy we chose Let’s Knot and Say We Did. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and ceremony!

as equals.
