When we started looking for our officiant, it quickly became clear that this person was going to set the tone for the entire ceremony. After speaking with multiple people, we were lucky enough to find Richard. I cannot say enough positive thing...

s about him! His presence is calming, he takes time to get to know the couples he works with and to craft a ceremony that fits their personalities and relationship. The ceremony he put together for my now husband and I was absolutely perfect - it was funny at the right moments and serious at the right moments. It was the perfect mix of what we were looking for - light hearted but serious when it should be, given the importance of what we were doing. His tone was calming and you feel the importance of the moment through both his tone and his words. We have heard over and over from our guests that Richard was amazing, and that it felt like he really knew us and our story. Don't even think twice, this is the guy! We are so, so lucky he was available to marry us!

We planned our elopement with a 24 hour notice and sent him our survey the night before, and Richard came through. We also ran into some clerical issues at the county clerk's office, which Richard was able to resolve for us quickly, which was very appreciated.

I have never experienced an officiant in any wedding I have attended that was memorable or touching so I deferred to my fiancé to choose an officiant for our ceremony since it was rather unimportant to me. I must say, I am so glad and grateful...

that my fiancé cared enough about our wedding and our ceremony to have chosen Reverend Richard Meyer. He was such a professional. He allowed us to cater our wedding to suit our needs and our particular circumstances. His words were so touching, his cadence calming. He moved not only me and my now husband but guest I thought were impervious to the words of love. Reverend Meyer said to calm us both that perfect ceremonies are soon forgotten but I disagree. I know that Reverend Meyer’s perfect ceremony will have a lasting impact in my life. I am eternally grateful to Reverend Meyer and honored that he was a part of our wedding.

Selecting Richard as our Officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Prior to our ceremony we had only met him once due to our wedding being a destination. Richard took the time to meet with us and send us a questionnaire t...

hat he then used to create our personal ceremony. His thoughtfulness and sincere dialogue used to tell our story was absolutely beautiful. Our guests were raving about him afterwards and thought we had known Richard for years! Everyone kept saying how that was the best wedding ceremony they have ever witnessed. We could not have asked for a more intimate ceremony. If you are getting married in Napa or surrounding area I highly recommend Richard Meyer!
