Shows to You - Formally Sealed with a Kiss

We are writing a review for Richard Aptekar who was our officiant for our wedding on July 29, 2016. From beginning to end Richard was so kind, helpful and worked with us on everything step by step. We first set up a skype meeting for us to see if he was a good fit for us. After talking to him we hired him on the spot. The next step was that he gave us the options for what we wanted to include in our ceremony. He sent us examples and when we finally met in person (we were planning the wedding 3,000 miles away), he helped in even more in depth. Once we ironed out the details after a few revisions we were ready to go. Richard was also available to do the rehearsal run through which was important to us. He did a step by step process of what he would be doing on the actual wedding day which is perfect for us to make last minute revisions and changes if needed. On the day of the wedding he met with both of us at separate times to calm the nerves and go through any questions we had. Everything was great, top to bottom, we absolutely recommend Richard!

We used Sealed with a Kiss for our wedding, specifically Richard Aptekar. He was great! We met with him before deciding and had mini "interview" and he gave us examples of the types of ceremonies he has done before. We immediately hit it off with him. He has a great sense of humor and a passion for what he does. Leading up to the wedding, we answered a brief survey and Richard used our answers to draft the ceremony. We were able to completely review and customize it how we wanted and send it back to him. On the big day, everything went smoothly. Richard entertained our audience and lead a heart felt ceremony. It was light-hearted and sincere. My husband and I were very happy with the results. He was very sweet and even offered me a hanky during the ceremony when I got teary-eyed. He spoke clearly and did a great job. I highly recommend working with Richard!!

We had Brian officiate our non-religious wedding. Two months out from the wedding, he sent us a questionnaire to complete. Our responses were used in the ceremony, which made it personal and unique. He also sent us drafts of the ceremony to review and edit starting a month out from our day. In the end, the ceremony was performed exactly as written and there were no surprises. After having gone to other weddings, I am happy that our ceremony was not cookie-cutter and we had the liberty to adapt it. To add, Brian has a great speaking voice and a very friendly demeanor. He was well-received by all.

We had Rev. Richard as our officiant. I live out of town so I didn't get to meet him until the rehearsal but he did an amazing job. He did an amazing job with the ceremony and made it very personal to our relationship. All of our guest commented on how beautiful and perfect it was, not too long but not too short. Some guest even wanted his contact info for their own wedding.
