Pastor Rich

dhood pastors that we flew in from out of state because of how deeply he seemed to know us and care. We also had an extremely diverse guest list with many different religions and cultures and he made sure to be respectful and honor all of our guests in a way that felt like it not only encompassed what we wanted to portray, but warmly encouraged others to feel included. It was everything I could have wanted from one of the sweetest and kindest people you could ever hope to meet.

ieron muy contentos. No pude encontrar un mejor pastor, le agradezco mucho por hacer de nuestro momento especial

so comfortable. We would definitely recommend!

he shared at our ceremony had some people convinced that was a family member or that we've known him all our lives. We would recommend Pastor Rich to anyone, he really made our day more special.

rtfelt, entertaining, and deeply personal message for us and our loved ones. The anecdotes he shared and the way he described our love for each other wonderfully encapsulated our relationship, he seamlessly tied our bridal processional song into his sermon like we requested, and the message he shared about the different types of love was meaningful and inspiring to each and every person there. Guests were truly singing his praises all evening! We can't think of a better way to start a perfect day, in a perfect place, with all our favorite perfect people. Pastor Rich has our deepest gratitude for making our big day even more special!!

In summary, Pastor Rich exceeded all our expectations, playing a significant role in making our wedding day perfect. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional, personable, and dedicated officiant. Viva la Marcel y Maria (M&M)

w wonderful our ceremony was. Thank you for an unforgettable moment!

the process. We knew we wanted to write some parts of the ceremony, but we didn't have a good understanding of the structure, what's appropriate when, etc. Our guests told us after the ceremony they assumed Pastor Rich was someone that had known us for years. We loved how he went through our story and noted little things he noticed about us as a couple. He was also just genuinely fun to be with on the big day.

igiously and not. He ran the rehearsal and made us very prepared for the wedding day. The ceremony was perfect annd everyone loved the message. I especially appreciated the quick communication and turnaround. Thank you Pastor Rich!

to have found Pastor Rich! He is so kind-hearted and patient, and really works with you to craft a personalized ceremony that truly encapsulates your entire love story. When we met with him in-person, he took the time to ask questions about how we met, our relationship, and any other details pertinent to our story, and he incorporated all of these details into the ceremony - I could not have asked for a more perfect delivery of the ceremony. It was so authentic, romantic, light-hearted, and special. I loved his finishing touches of his advice for us, pulling from his own experience and relationship with his wife. Even 1 of my bridesmaids - who introduced me to my husband - got a shout out in the ceremony and I loved it! We received so many compliments from our friends and family about Pastor Rich and he truly knocked it out of the park with everything we asked for. Thank you Pastor Rich for delivering the most memorable ceremony for us.

ceremony flow and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend!

d me from the first Zoom meeting that he would be the one to help us craft a beautiful, meaningful ceremony. He delivered beyond our expectations. Our ceremony was heartfelt, entertaining, respectful and so true to us. I will always remember the wisdom that he imparted. It was perfect. Pastor Rich was flexible with our ceremony requests, timing, and music. He had wonderful ideas and offered them without expectation or pressure. He is one of a kind and will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for everything, Pastor Rich!

had known each other long before the wedding. He made the info we provided come to life during our ceremony. We definitely recommend pastor Rich to anyone looking for an officiant.

special ability to connect with people within first few moments of meeting them. We actually had multiple guests come up and ask us if we had been long term friends with Pastor Rich because of how naturally friendly he was towards our friends and family! He has a sense of calmness about him, which really helps ease wedding day nerves as well. He does a wonderful job tethering his ceremonies to each couples' unique story and considers all the little details when planning your special day to make it as great as possible. Pastor Rich is a special person and everyone loved the wedding ceremony. We highly recommend him!

ctly how we imagined it!

ng. He took time with my clients to get to know their love story and details of their life almost as if he were their friend!  We collaborated on the ceremony outline and he had some great insight on how to make the ceremony feel personal and flow in a way that felt natural for everyone involved.  The day of the wedding he had guests in stitches and tears with his perfectly pieced together sermon that blended together traditional vows and personal vows the couple wrote.  10 out of 10! Thank you Pastor Rich! 

or the ceremony. He was an active listener that took the time to get to know our story to ensure our ceremony had a custom feel. He also took great care to ensure we were comfortable with the more religious elements of the ceremony. Our guests found him relatable and funny. We received a good number of compliments on Pastor Rich afterwards. We could not have been happier with the way our special day turned out and highly recommend Pastor Rich to anyone in need of an officiant.

to the end, Pastor Rich was sincere, professional and attentive, answering all of our questions and helping us navigate the most important day of our lives. The planning process was made easy by Pastor Rich. He was constructive and helpful in planning our vows, incorporated the readings and traditions that we requested and even added great content that we did not think of. He continually followed up with us to make sure we were on track with our thoughts and deliverables, which was such a great help considering everything else we had to do. Where he really stood out though, was the ceremony. He did a great job navigating the ceremony, added a few funny stories about my wife and I, and was sincere and engaging throughout. He was thoughtful with his words, conveying the importance of marriage and love and really helped to make our ceremony amazing. After the wedding, Pastor Rich sent us a hand-written note expressing his gratitude for allowing him to be a part of our wedding and wishing us the best of luck, which meant so much to my wife and I. Overall, we couldn't be happier with Pastor Rich, and highly recommend his services. Thank you for making such a special day even better!

ing license was lost in the court system a month later. We needed to contact him to resolve the issue and he immediately responded.

ay very special. We would absolutely recommend him!!

o my ceremony. He made us feel comfortable the whole, during one of the most nerve wracking days of our lives. We were so worried we’d lose the church feel, deciding to do the ceremony at the venue, but we were beyond happy! Thank you! All because of you :) God Bless, Mr. & Mrs. Cison

now us and during our ceremony, it felt like we'd known him forever, It was such a sweet, intimate, and heartfelt ceremony that it was everything we had envisioned. We were beyond happy with our ceremony and just think Pastor Rich did a fantastic job!

the ceremony in Spanish and is a big reason why we hired him. We loved that he asked us to share our favorite stories as a couple with him so that he could incorporate it into the ceremony. It was especially nice when my now husband and I sent him stories that the other didn't know about because it was a pleasant surprise to be reminded of that story during the ceremony and know that that was the other person's favorite memory of you. If you're looking for a great ceremony that really showcases you as a couple, Pastor Rich is your guy!

so special, and he did it all with no notes in his hands. He delivered it smoothly and without hesitation. I really could not recommend him enough. He is such a kind, caring man who truly cares about the couples he bonds together. Please do consider Pastor Rich for your wedding!

y well after our meetings. Really grateful he was a part of our day! Total pro.

al and fluid. He was friendly and open with our family and friends and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to marry us. Even with the last minute venue change, despite rehearsing at the other venue the day prior, Pastor Rich was able to handle any curve ball we threw at him.

as fate that we found Pastor Rich. He had such a positive attitude throughout the whole process and took the time to get to know us on a personal level and it was reflected in our ceremony. He gave us great recommendations for our readings and our unity symbol we did. We would highly recommend Pastor Rich!

ilies. He brought his personal touch to our ceremony, recalled stories we’d previously mentioned, and he inspired everyone in attendance. If you want an officiant who can shower your wedding ceremony with love, Pastor Rich is your guy.

urch so we wanted more of a spiritual ceremony. As an ordained minister of the Methodist Church, Pastor Rich knew all the traditional aspects of a Christian wedding and invited us to leverage as much or as little of them as possible. The other important aspect that he brought to the table was that he was able to do the ceremony in English and Spanish. While most of our guests were bilingual, we wanted to make sure the most important parts of the wedding (vows and ring exchange) were in Spanish and he was able to not only make it happen but he gave my Spanish-speaking grandma a shout out from the front and thanked her for being there. Loved it. I must admit that not having a full script from him did make me a tad nervous but Pastor Rich DELIVERED on the day of the ceremony. All the prep he took us through--the questionnaire, the calls--led to him sharing a funny, thoughtful, and hopeful message. Our guests went out of the way to say that he did a great job and they could not believe how much he knew about us and our story. Overall, Pastor Rich is there for YOU. He is super flexible, willing to give ideas, calm your nerves and make sure that your day is what you want it to be. His soothing voice and humble presence led us through the most important part of the day and set the tone for what was and is to come. Highly recommend him!

ay. I highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed!

lent communication throughout the planning process. We went into wedding planning without much of an idea of what we wanted our ceremony to look like, but he guided us seamlessly through that process. Several of our friends and family thought we had known Pastor Rich for several years based on the very touching and personal ceremony he delivered. The truth is we met him a few months before our wedding - and we are so glad we did! Thank you again, Pastor Rich! -Dan & Aurora C.

eyond helping us put together a bilingual ceremony. Not only did he help us incorporate Mexican traditions into the ceremony but all our guests felt included as he took the time to explain everything going on in Spanish and English. He even went above and beyond by giving us advice he’s learned over time with his own marriage, making everything more personal. I cannot recommend Pastor Rich enough!

ed Rich for some advice and he always feel back on “it’s your day. Do what you think is best” honestly, hearing that from him helped ease some of the wedding stress. I loved how he took the time to ask about our story and what we love about one another. Rich incorporated our story into our ceremony, and our guests were raving about it! We appreciate having him in our special day. Don’t walk… RUN to book Rich!

r years and expressed how much they loved our ceremony. Rich is super friendly, kind, and communicative. Thank you, Rich! Pete and I are so grateful for you.

olved in the ceremony. He was able to blend both of our faiths into a beautiful ceremony that we’ll remember forever. A few of our guests even told us they thought he was a family friend because of how genuine and personal his stories felt! We are so grateful for Pastor Rich!

d at ease that the ceremony would be catered to our specifications. He also has the ability to make you feel as though you've known him for years and it is very much demonstrated during the ceremony. He also interacts very well with the parents, bridal party and guests. We highly recommend Pastor Rich if you are looking for peace of mind during your ceremony.

met in person for our rehearsal dinner. Pastor Rich was friendly and endearing while getting to know our friends and family. The rehearsal was exceptionally well run. Everyone felt comfortable and confident in their roles for the wedding the next day, even my French grandpa who doesn't speak a word of English. The ceremony itself could not have been better! Pastor Rich interwove our story with sage advice, drawing from experience on his own marriage. To include my wife's Colombian family watching virtually, he translated key moments of the ceremony into Spanish. They have told me that they understood every word and that they appreciated the gesture. The ceremony got rave reviews from the guests. Some of my friends were convinced that we had known Pastor Rich for years. Pastor Rich went above and beyond our expectations to make wedding day feel special and personal, and for that we can't recommend him highly enough!

to look back on. He really took the time to get to know my husband and I, and shared details of our story in a beautiful way. He also found ways to incorporate my two step sons into our ceremony that made our wedding day extra special. Thank you for everything, Pastor Rich!
