We signed an agreement in March 2025 with Ted to officiate our wedding in scheduled for December 2025. After signing the agreement we received no further communication from Ted unt...
il payment was due. We had decided to pursue a different officiant but did not disclose this to Ted. Considering we heard nothing from Ted for the last 9 months we came to the conclusion that he was no longer officiating our wedding. We understand we should have communicated within the 6 month cancellation window that we no longer needed his services, but are extremely frustrated by Ted's lack of communication.

Low energy butchered our names, and not very patient. Copy and pasted our answers to make his speech and did not seem personable.
Response from The Officiants: Simply Perfect Ceremonies on 08/24/2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Christelle. Just to clarify: my father arrived 40 min...
utes early for your 4:00 ceremony. Unfortunately, the ceremony didn’t begin until 6:15. That meant over two hours of waiting in 95-degree Florida heat, without air conditioning, water, or shelter.
At 78 years old, standing through those conditions and still officiating as planned is hardly a sign of “low energy.” I’d argue it shows commitment and resilience that most people would struggle to match.
As for “copy and paste,” he incorporated your chosen words into your ceremony. That’s not laziness — that’s personalization.
We wish you both happiness in marriage, and sincerely hope future events in your life start closer to the scheduled time (and in more comfortable conditions).

-He's ve...
ry flexible. Unfortunately, we had to change our location multiple times as it was just not working for us. Even though our location ended up much farther than our initial location, he still worked with us
-He's very patient. My fiance ended up an hour late to our wedding to a bad car accident. Reverend Church did not complain. Not even once. He just patiently waited for us.
- He's very professional. He sent us a questionnaire when we booked him for our wedding and he really used that to do our ceremony. It felt like he's known us forever! I also read posts prior to our wedding to ask the officiant to step aside for the first kiss. I completely forgot to do this as I was stressed about my fiance being late for the wedding. But I didn't even have to ask him! He automatically stepped aside as soon as he announced that it's time for our first kiss. He really knows what he's doing!
I'm so happy that he was our officiant. Highly recommend him!

We had the honor of having Ted Church officiant our wedding in West Palm Beach on April 19th. We were unsure how the ceremony would go since Ted did not know either of us. However,...
he had us fill out a questionnaire in the weeks prior and performed the perfect ceremony as if he had known us for years. His speech was loud and clear, mixed with the right amounts of romance, humor and spirituality. We asked all our guests to wear Aloha attire in honor of my late father and Ted did not disappoint arriving in his best Hawaiian shirt. He was responsive, kind and showed up early the day of. He kept the ceremony right on time, was so easy to work with and simplifed the experience by taking the marriage license and filing it for us. We highly recommend him and so happy we chose Ted to be a part of our special day.

d the distinct pleasure of working with Ted Church at our recent nuptials on September 2nd, and it is with great satisfaction that we write this review to describe my exceptional experience with this exemplary wedding officiant.
Firstly, Ted Church displayed remarkable professionalism throughout the entire process, from our initial meeting to the day of the ceremony. Their highly organized and structured approach ensured that every detail was meticulously planned and executed flawlessly. Their ability to eloquently convey our unique love story reverberated with sincerity, engaging both ourselves and our loved ones in a truly captivating ceremony.
Secondly, Ted Church's outstanding communication skills were evident in their ability to listen attentively to our preferences and tailor the ceremony to suit our vision. Their eloquence and clarity in articulating vows and readings left an indelible impression. Their smooth and confident delivery instilled a sense of confidence and calm, creating an atmosphere of joy and reverence.
Furthermore, Ted Church skillfully balanced the traditional elements of a wedding ceremony with our contemporary desires, creating a dynamic and harmonious blend of old and new. This seamless integration of personal anecdotes and cultural traditions showcased their versatility and dedication to creating a unique and unforgettable experience for both us and our guests.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ted Church for anyone seeking an exceptional wedding officiant. Their professionalism, communication skills, and ability to tailor a ceremony to reflect a couple's unique love story was unparalleled. Ted Church expertly crafted a memorable experience that will be cherished for years to come. Thank you, Ted Church, for ensuring our wedding ceremony was a truly special and meaningful celebration of love.

Thank you Julia for your very kind review. I try very hard to write the ceremony that will...
touch the hearts of the bride and groom and help their guests remember the day they were married. Writing a meaningful ceremony takes effort, as the officiant I have to try and get to know you like a longtime friend or family member. It’s not easy but when I accomplish it, it’s a ceremony you’ll remember.

Our ceremony was personal, touching, and meaningful not only to the two of us, but to our family. Being my second wedding, I could not get married in a Catholic Church a second time, but Rev. Church made it as beautiful if not more so than if we would have had a church wedding.
In addition, dealing with The Officiants from day one was simple, easy, and hassle free. I urge anyone looking for a beautiful ceremony to contact The Officiants and request Rev. Ted Church, you can rest assure that you will have the best of the best.

I wish I could leave a good review but everything about this process was terrible. We booked the officiant Ramiro Malagon for our wedding and never heard anything from him until a ...
week before when I asked to speak to him. It took him over 48 hrs to get back to me and only responded when I said I would get a new officiant. At the actual wedding before I walked down the aisle he talked to me about pricing. this is something we discussed at an earlier date and was confused on why he was talking to me about money before walking downbeat the aisle.
When it was time to actually walk down he forgot to remind everyone to rise and got incredibly awkward. My photos came out terrible. You only get married once, and I highly suggest you think twice before booking this service.
Response from The Officiants: Simply Perfect Ceremonies on 06/01/2019
We're sorry that your perception of our service is negative, but your retelling of the eve...
nts of the day does not match reality. Ramiro was in constant communication with your husband, Joseph, throughout the process. I have seen the emails back and forth and Ramiro has shown me records of phone calls. Ramiro did not ask about final payment, the planner did. While it is our policy to collect final payment before the ceremony, we try to do so in private and will wait until after if necessary. The planner asked Ramiro if anything was unresolved and he said, "I just need the marriage license and final payment." At that point the planner took it upon herself to resolve and your husband paid the final payment using the invoice Ramiro sent the day before. I have seen your wedding script. It does include a call to stand. Ramiro said that he did read that part, but that he couldn't force people to stand and that when literally no one stood he assumed that was how you wanted it. We acknowledge that the photos of you walking down the aisle may not be what you wanted, but we hope that the rest of your photos make up for that awkward moment. Finally, I hope anyone reading this review looks at Ramiro's overwhelmingly glowing reviews before they make a judgment on him or my company. Best wishes, Dominic.

He guided us through it, helping us understand the things we should be looking for and thinking about when it came to what we wanted in our ceremony. We know we wanted it to be quick, non-affiliated, and meaningful to us as a family as we merged together. I found a sweet Disney intro and asked Dominic to incorporate it, he was so receptive and we couldn't have been happier with the ceremony he created and the services he gave us. Thank you, Dominic!

So we felt it was a lot to overcome but Ramiro made it easy. He was was super accommodating, gave us great suggestions and went above and beyond to ease our worries. On the day of our wedding he showed up on time and performed our ceremony with such grace. Both of our families loved how we were able to incorporate both traditions and cultures. As an event planner, I expect nothing but the best and that's exactly what Ramiro gave us.

You really represented our relationship as fun, loyal And true.
We couldn't have picked a better officiant you remained cool and collective even when the candles weren't lighting, lol. Even had a line to cover up the candles going out, lol.
Thank You for being on time and your tie even matched the wedding colors!!

elt like this was my best option, BOY WAS I WRONG. For the start things were great Ted seemed truly awesome and really understood what I was looking for our wedding ceremony. About 1 month before the wedding I would not get any responses to emails or calls and one day I open my email to find one from Ted. Long story short, due to medical issues Ted would no longer be able to officiant my wedding and he would have his son Anthony stand in. With all the pre wedding stress I just went along with it figuring that they are professionals and all will be fine. Come the wedding day Anthony arrives and when he greets the guest for the wedding and start of the ceremony he calls the bride “Jennifer” WHICH HER NAME IS AMANDA. The ceremony begins and goes on which Anthony seems to have a never hard time reading and is stuttering with his words. Cut forward to what was supposed to be a wine box ceremony (putting a bottle of wine with to letters in a box to open, read and drink on our one year anniversary) the box is no place to be found and also Anthony seems to have no idea what is going on. He then proceeded, as both of us newlyweds are very frustrated and ready for the ceremony to be over, HE AGAIN CALLS THE BRIDE JENNIFER. We as a couple are beyond humiliated, embarrassed and pissed to say the least about our wedding ceremony. Anthony never apologized for his actions and approximately a week after the wedding I send an email and called the company just to let them know how upset we felt, received no response. I did receive my marriage license in a timely manner, thank goodness. IF YOU ARE COUPLE LOOKING TO BOOK A PROFESSIONAL OFFICIANT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE OR YOU COULD END UP HAVING A TERRIBLE CEREMONY THAT YOU DONT EVEN WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO OF.

Hi Amanda, I'm very sorry -- what happened during your ceremony is unacceptable and my tea...
mmates didn't do a good enough job of reaching out to you to apologize afterward (they did communicate to me that they tried to call and text). There is definitely a backstory for Ted's inability to serve, as he had surgery to remove cancer from his tongue in early December. For some reason, when he wrote your ceremony (he wanted to write for all the couples he was working with), he made a mistake with your name. Because Anthony hadn't been communicating with you, he didn't catch it on the fly (either time). This isn't representative of our work, but you are still right to be frustrated and embarrassed. I'm going to reach out to you via email as well. With sincere apologies, Dominic.
