We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. Rev Russ handled everything with such care and authenticity, and the ceremony felt incredibly personal from start to ...
finish. The words he shared were both meaningful and beautifully delivered.
What stood out most was his ability to improvise and make the moment feel so genuine. There were stories included that completely surprised me, and they were told in such a heartfelt way that I found myself reliving those memories during the ceremony. I’m not usually an emotional person, but I was genuinely moved in the best way.
If you’re looking for someone who will create a memorable, personal, and truly special ceremony, I highly recommend Rev Russ. We’re so grateful and will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.

and emphasized that the ceremony was truly ours to shape—he was just there to help us build the perfect version of it.
Russ crafted a ceremony that was personal, meaningful, and beautifully balanced. It struck the perfect tone: fun and lighthearted while still being heartfelt and formal. 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. Honestly, we wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up officiating several weddings of people who were there!
If we could give him 10 stars, we absolutely would. Rev. Russ helped make our wedding day perfect, and we’re forever grateful.

elect an officiant for your wedding ceremony. There are plenty to choose from on The Knot and Wedding Wire. Not to mention friends and family members who may want to do it. (Don’t go there!)
Selecting a wedding officiant was one of the last vendors we selected. Somehow, we had overlooked that our officiant was one of the most important choices we were to make.
Thankfully Rev Russ was available and our dream wedding was guaranteed to become a reality.
Do yourself a favor and ask Rev Russ for an appointment to get together…you will be glad you did.

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.

He doesn’t push religious beliefs onto you and makes your ceremony about YOU.

We wanted our special day to be uniquely ours and to set the stage for our future life together as husband and wife. Because of this, we wanted to find the perfect wedding officiant. We searched, we interviewed, and eventually we found Rev. Russ. Our patience paid off.
Like so many things in our relationship, we feel like we were ultimately drawn to Rev. Russ. The first thing we noticed was that he was truly interested in us! He didn’t start pitching his services… He listened and the conversation flowed effortlessly and made our decision easy… We hired Rev. Russ to officiate our wedding.
Ultimately, we feel that hiring Rev. Russ was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Our ceremony was unforgettable. Nobody talks about our venue, our DJ, or our food… But they share with us is how much they loved our ceremony. The reason for that is simple… Rev. Russ was awesome. Thanks Russ!
Thanks for being a part of our ongoing love story and making our wedding ceremony the highlight of our day and a cherished forever memory.

Rev Russ is the best officiant we spoke to during our planning process. He was worth every single dollar and more. My husband and I were so open to how our ceremony would look, esp...
ecially because we are very non-traditional, so all we asked of Russ was for a heartwarming and intimate ceremony. He helped us through the process, spoke with us as many times as we needed, and made sure to take all our needs and questions into account when crafting our ceremony. And when I tell you Russ made the perfect ceremony for us, I really mean it. I’m not one to get emotional, but I cried (and bonus points because he had a tissue on hand). He presented our personal love story in a way that really spoke to the heart of our relationship and made our guests feel that love with us. He really heard our requests and delivered beyond our wildest dreams… If you are looking for the best officiant possible for your wedding, you NEED to book Rev Russ, you will be glad you did!

ony, and I was underwhelmed by what I was witnessing. The ceremonies were dull, boring, and meaningless. After attending these ceremonies, I was concerned. Could my dream wedding be brought to reality?
With that in mind, we began a thorough search for our officiant. Eventually we found Rev Russ and it did not take long for us to realize that our search was over. We found our officiant…Rev Russ Sorensen.
Boy, did Rev Russ deliver. Our ceremony was absolutely wonderful. It was my dream come true. Our ceremony was beautiful, meaningful, inspirational, and emotional. It was fun and at the same time sacred.
I can attest that we had several engaged couples in attendance and after the ceremony, they either found Rev Russ after the ceremony to meet him and get a card or called us later for his contact info.
We are so grateful to Rev Russ – Our ceremony was indeed a
dream come true. We were the center of attention, our love story was shared, and our friends and family gained a deep understanding our love for each other. Well done Rev Russ!

On our wedding day there was a buzz at the ceremony and the reception. It was obvious during the ceremony and later at our reception that something awesome had occurred.
Our dream wedding had come to life, due in large part to Rev. Russ.
Our wedding was fun, entertaining, and at the same time sacred.
