His repertoire of readings, wordings, and ceremony options made it simple for us to choose what felt right, and he was open to us combining and customizing sections. On the day of, he executed everything flawlessly. The entire process with Russ was seamless from start to finish. He even handled the marriage license completely—once we gave it to him at the rehearsal, we didn’t have to think about it again. That peace of mind was priceless during such a busy time. We had 30–40 guests from both sides of our family come up to us after the ceremony asking where we found Russ and commenting on how amazing he was.

weddings get officiated by an underqualified old friend? Rev Russ will fix it! Do ask for read receipts with emails and follow up, sometimes the back office here doesn't see every email.

we were signing contracts and I truly feel it was meant to be. He has you complete lots of documentation that helps guide your conversation with your partner on what your wishes are and for him to build your ceremony. His wife is very responsive to emails and so is he. He made our ceremony funny, interactive and simple , which is exactly what we wanted. He doesn’t push religious beliefs onto you and makes your ceremony about YOU.
