Morris was amazing! He officiated our micro-wedding ceremony. We knew we wanted someone who would personalize our ceremony, and make it both sweet and entertaining since we only ha...
d 12 guests. He was so easy to work with, took the time to learn our story and wrote an amazing ceremony script that captured everything we wanted it to, made us laugh, and emphasized the significance of this important milestone.
He was also so flexible when a summer rainstorm meant we had to push our ceremony back by an hour. He was so understanding and joined us for a drink at cocktail hour while we waited out the rain.
We're so happy we hired Morris as our officiant.
Morris “Rippy” was my husband and I’s officiant for our wedding on January 13, 2024! Rippy is not only someone close to me, but he is a fantastic person and officiant! He made our ...
love and story feel like our family and friends had been there since day one with us. Rippy took the time to learn about our story and painted a beautiful picture throughout the ceremony! He was professional, caring, and unremarkably fantastic! Our friends and family could not stop talking about Rippy and how he made us laugh and smile and increased the love between the two combined families. From the moment the ceremony started to the beautiful speech from Rippy and finally to the “I do’s,” my husband and I could not stop smiling at how perfect he made our special day!
I would recommend Rippy to anyone who wants someone who will take the time to get to know you, ask the essential questions and the difficult ones, and want their story to be shared most beautifully!
What can I say about this man, he made my wedding so special. I wouldn’t have anybody else stand up there with me and my husband. He’s the best in the business. Has a true love for...
the people he is marrying. He has a huge heart and you can see the joy on his face, how much he enjoys seeing two people and love getting married. Not only was I honored to have him marry us, but I’m also honored to call him my dear friend. ❤️

nd to take the time to get to know us. We had an initial phone conversation where he got to know us a bit and then a more extensive followup meeting. At this meeting he asked us questions so he could get the full picture of our relationship: how we met, what we love most about each other, how we wanted the ceremony to run, and so much more.
His time and preparation made our special day run smoothly. He sent us the script beforehand so we could review it and offer and edits/suggestions.
He is an officiant that can capture the love of the couple and display it for all of your guests to see at your ceremony. He truly is amazing and we highly recommend him.

My husband and I got married on 10/21/22 and had Morris officiate our day. All we have to say is WOW. This man blew our expectations out of the water. Before our big day we met wit...
h Morris several times, once to meet and greet, and again right before the wedding to talk personal details. When I tell you he gave the MOST beautiful speech, I truly mean it. He completely captured our story and added a personal touch that really got our hearts. He literally had both of us crying at the alter. Our guests could not stop (and still haven't) saying how great of a speaker he is, and how touching the ceremony was. We could not recommend Morris any more, he truly loves what he does and it is so apparent! If you're hoping to make your special day even better, you need to hire Morris!!
There aren’t enough words to describe how incredible of a job Morris did for us at our ceremony! We have known Rippy for a really long time and the way he explained our story gave ...
us all chills. He is charismatic, engaged, and fun all while maintaining an incredible level of professionalism. When we first met with him he asked us some questions and by the time we were done he said you just wrote your vows; he was right! Every person I spoke to was so impressed by everything he said that day and I am SO thankful we had Rippy there to marry us because without the day would not have been the same! Thank you again for making our day the most perfect day, we couldn’t have done it without you. Love ya!

pent extra time getting to know us, and wrote a great personalized ceremony that we were even able to review in advance (granted, we had NO edits!). On the wedding day, Morris showed that he is clearly a great public speaker with excellent diction, and captured our story and the essence of our relationship perfectly. Guests of our wedding literally applauded him as we recessed out. Our ceremony is still being talked about as a highlight of the wedding day. I can't speak highly enough of Morris!!

He has a great personality and character that all our guests thoroughly enjoyed! He was able to come to the venue for a mini rehearsal the night prior which was very helpful. We were very happy with his services and would absolutely recommend!
I would recommend Morris to anyone who is planning to get married in Connecticut (or beyond). He made the process so smooth and easy. We live out of state, and held a face time me...
eting where he got to ask us a few questions. In that brief time we spoke, he learned who we are as a couple and wrote a beautiful service that really captured us. Our first chance to physically meet was at our rehearsal. Morris was punctual, and put everyone at ease to do their roles.
On the big day, Morris was once again punctual. There were a few last minute changes due to weather, and like a true professional he simply rolled with them. He delivered a flawless ceremony, full of heart and humor. During the reception, guests could not stop remarking how great he was!
Morris is a class act and deserves five out of five stars! Daniel and I want to take this opportunity to thank you again.
