I officiated my first wedding on June 14, 1986. Since then I have performed weddings in Texas, New Mexico, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia. I LOVE weddings. And the stories I could tell! - from a dog in the bridal party to a couple coming up on horseback to a sunset beach wedding to . . .
Though I have officiated for many years, I recently began developing "Weddings by Randy" and have seen the number of couples I have united grow exponentially - from 24 in 2012 to 144 in 2016.
I believe that your wedding is about YOU. Check out my reviews. Then call me at 678-892-9145.

Randy was absolutely wonderful! He had so many options for ceremonies, and went over them with us in an online meeting. He walked us through what we would like the ceremony to look like and he gave us all his tips and asked all the right questions to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted. The day of, he arrived ahead of schedule, worked flawlessly with the wedding coordinator and made the ceremony so personal and sweet. I was complimented all night on how beautifully it went. You can’t go wrong with Randy, he will make sure you feel special and will take great care of you on your special day.

Hey Katie,
You were a gorgeous bride! You and John were so much fun to work with. I was ...
floored at all of the personal notes you wrote for all of your guests. And what you wrote for me! I couldn't have written it better myself! Now if you and John come home speaking fluent Danish, I won't be at all surprised. Hope you two have all the fun you deserve.

I called Randy today to try and book him for our wedding in September. As soon as I said it is a non-traditional wedding he said he can't do that because he doesn't believe in same-sex marriages. And said good luck. I get people are set in their ways but geez it's a business to man. Open up people.
Any questions?

Randy, thank you for making the day of our elopement so special. You were thorough, kind and you made sure to check in with us every step of the way. I’m Hispanic and often times, people mispronounce my name and I let it slide because it’s a little on the complicated side. The very first time we did a consultation with Randy, that was the very first thing he asked without prompting. It shows that he cares for the details and makes sure that each couple feels special. Randy, we’ll never forget the way you trekked all the way to Dahlonega and climbed a small hill to make our little elopement special.

Randy made our wedding ceremony special and perfect! From the moment we reached out to him, he was always quick to respond and extremely helpful. During our initial meeting he shared tips for the ceremony to run smoothly, information on obtaining our marriage license, and different styles to use for the ceremony. He will work with you to make the ceremony any way you want. I would definitely recommend Randy to officiate your wedding!

Randy W was our officiant for our wedding and we could not be happier we made the decision to have him marry us. We enjoyed getting to know Randy and are so thrilled he was the one to marry us and share in our special day !! From the first time we spoke with him we knew we made the right choice. I didn't want the typical wedding ceremony, I took it upon myself to create and write my own ceremony making it more personal towards my now husband and I and Randy was very open and receptive to it. He did not give us a hard time about having a non religious ceremony. We highly recommend him to anyone. Very happy with our choice !!

Randy was such a pleasure to work with! He offered a free zoom call to make sure he would be a good match to officiate our wedding, and during our call he offered great advice about planning/prep for our wedding ceremony to make things easier and more efficient. He also offers a selection of readings to choose from for both religious and non-religious ceremonies, or you can write your own readings/add things in as needed. My husband and I chose to add a few quotes to Randy's non-religious readings, and I got SO many compliments after about how much everyone loved Randy's officiating :)

From the beginning of the wedding planning process to the big day, Randy was truly amazing. We met with him over Zoom a few times as it was important for us to get to know our officiant and we wanted our officiant to know us a couple. He was extremely professional and offered great advice/suggestions about our ceremony.
We opted for pre-marital counseling with Randy as well and it was excellent. He really gets to know you as a couple and talks you through big topics that are important in marriage.
The day of our wedding Randy was on time and everything went smoothly during our ceremony. We were able to work with Randy to build our ceremony templates, vows, prayer, everything! It was a perfect day and we couldn't ask for a better officiant! Thank you Randy!

We had such a beautiful experience with Randy as he officiated our wedding ceremony. It was such a special day for us, and his presence and guidance made it even more memorable and meaningful. Randy’s words were eloquent and warm, and they resonated not only with myself and the groom, but also with our guests. So many of our guests mentioned to us how much they enjoyed how Randy conducted the ceremony. I’d also be remiss if I did not mention that during the planning process pre wedding day, Randy helped tremendously by sharing a few ceremony recommendations for us to customize or select from directly if we preferred, which made planning the ceremony a breeze. He made time to meet with us to get to know us a bit beforehand, which also helped to reassure us and calm and nerves we had prior to the wedding. We are forever grateful for his contributions to our wedding day, and we’re incredibly fortunate to have him as our officiant. Highly recommend!

My expectations were surpassed! Randy was the real thing. I wanted my wedding to be spiritual as if it were held in a church before God since it was an outdoor wedding. Everything that was said was true to the word of God and my husband and I truly received the blessing through Randy. All our family and friends were really impressed and mentioned how beautiful the ceremony was. I highly recommend Randy for any type of wedding theme. Religious or non. He is very accommodating and makes you and your special day very important. Thank you Randy for the best experience and blessings that have been passed on to my husband and I.

I was initially hoping I could find somebody I knew personally to officiate my wedding, but when that didn't happen, I turned to The Knot and found Randy. Randy guided us through the whole process and even did a video call with us so that we could get to know him a little better and understand the order of everything for the wedding day. He even gave us some great pointers to put to use in the ceremony. The ceremony was absolutely perfect and was very much "us." Randy's words were so eloquent and we received so many compliments on how wonderful of a service it was. I would (and will) recommend Randy to anyone looking for an officiant for their special day.

I have no idea where to start. My husband and I were together for a long time before we decided to finally get married with family there. We found Randy here on The Knot and as soon as we met him we were so sure to have him as a part of our special day. Randy was also super flexible considering our wedding got moved a full year ahead than planned. I couldn't be happier with his flexibility, services and overall personality within our wedding. Our family was super impressed with his services and his positive vibe. He's so personable and you will not regret having him as part of your special day. Thank you sir for everything.

Randy was absolutely exceptional!
He waited patiently for us while we were an hour late. He interacted positively with the photographer and wedding guests as he waited. He always wore a smile, and was constantly pleasant and engaging.
My bride and all of our guests were Black, and we got married at my house, which is in an all Black neighborhood. Randy did not stick out at all, and was extremely comfortable being literally the only White person there.
His officiating set up a strong foundation for our marriage. I HIGHLY recommend Randy for ANY and ALL of your wedding officiating needs!!! :) :)

Randy was great to work with and knocked it out of the park with our ceremony. We requested a few custom parts to be added in and he did a great job incorporating them into the script. Many of our guests told us that he did an awesome job as well. They enjoyed the ceremony and how he tied everything together.

I can’t say enough great things about Randy ! From the day we met him we knew he was the perfect guy for our wedding day. We were looking for the right blend of faith based wedding while also not feeling extremely traditional. Randy’s ability to customize our ceremony timeline and get it perfectly perfect was incredible and I still get compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was. Not only that, but he is professional and prompt, and we received our official wedding certificate within a week and a half of our wedding day. Thank you Randy !

Randy was amazing!!! As soon as I emailed him, it didn’t take him long to get back to me. I was concerned about the date because it was only 7 days from when we wanted to get married. Thankfully, he was able to officiate the ceremony on such short notice. He had another wedding scheduled for the same day but he was able to work with me on times so we could get married . He answered all my questions and made everything stress free. We were so pleased with the ceremony and very grateful we had chosen him. He was extremely professional, has a great personality and arrived on time. We were glad that he was a part of our special day. I would highly recommend him. You can see what kind of person he is just by reading all the reviews.

Randy was perfect! From our zoom meeting before the wedding, to pre-martial counseling to the actual reception he was great. Extremely responsive and worked with us to make the ceremony what we wanted. Everyone at our ceremony told us how great he was. Would highly recommend booking him!

Randy was such a pleasure to work with. From the moment we met him for coffee he was so easy to talk to and was full of useful information. He was able to take a general outline of how we wanted our ceremony to go and turn it into something beautiful. He is very well spoken and was professional throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend having Randy be the one to marry you!

We contacted Randy on a Monday night, and were married Tuesday. He was so easy to work with and absolutely unflappable. I have been to many weddings, but I have never heard such a meaningful service ever - and this was without any guidance from us...
Randy radiates calmness and sincerity. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend him to anyone wanting a meaningful wedding service!

Randy saved my wedding!
Due to COVID last year our officiant was forced to drop out. With 2 weeks to go Randy was able to squeeze us in! On top of his awesome professionalism and friendliness, he was able to provide us with a list of ceremony styles and outlines to match our preferences, since we had no idea where to start.
I highly recommend Randy if you want an experienced and professional officiant to make your day special.

Due to the last minute and unsure nature of 2020 wedding planning we were looking for someone to officiate our ceremony with 6 weeks to go. We looked online for someone in our area and starting speaking with Randy. He was very accommodating and helpful with planning as this was both of our first times, he sent some sample ceremonies (both religious and spiritual) and encouraged us to make it our own. On the day of our ceremony you could tell he was a polished and engaging speaker and we received many compliments. Neither of us are planning on getting married again, but we would definitely recommend Randy.

help you achieve the wedding of your dreams. May you both fall in love every morning and live long in joy. Blessings!

During my wedding process I struggled to find a pastor or an officiant but as soon as I contacted Randy he made all of my worries go away. Randy is extremely thoughtful and caring, he made sure that my husband and I felt comfortable throughout the whole process. My biggest worry was hiring someone that I did not know and I wasn’t sure about what they would say but Randy has written Scripts that you can edit, add to, do whatever you need to do, to have him say what you personally want him to say while he’s marrying you and your husband. Randy is the absolute best officiant you could ask for!!

Planning a wedding during Covid was one of the most stressful experiences, but finding Randy to officiate was a dream. He "met" with us virtually to give us a bit of his background and see what we were looking for, and right away we felt he was the perfect person to officiate for us. He sent us some information to help choose what we wanted for our ceremony, which made the process even easier. On the day of he really did make our intimate ceremony feel all the more special. I cannot say enough positive things about Randy's professionalism, you can tell he takes this seriously and loves what he does!

Look no further, seriously. Reach out to Randy!
My (now) husband and I are so glad we found Randy to officiate our wedding. From our first email interaction with Randy, we could feel his positive fun energy, and thats exactly what we were looking for. Randy made the process super easy for us. He had templates of different readings we can choose from, which we were able to adjust in any way we wanted. We met over zoom to discuss details and he made a few great suggestions that we didn't even think of!
You can tell he ready loves what he does. Working with Randy was a breeze and we will for ever be grateful that he was apart of our special day!

Greatest person we have every come across. Consider booking Randy for your wedding. He is someone who cares deeply about your marriage and future together. He takes the time to talk and get to know you. He made our wedding so bright and lively. Even after the ceremony and wedding, our guest were still talking about how great Randy was and how he made being in love the greatest feeling ever. Best choice we have ever made.
