A fantastic and seamless wedding experience

I really can't say enough good things about our experience with Rev Ron. He was on his A-game during our wedding. His words were moving and felt very personal to my wife and I. He worked with us before the wedding to ensure we were happy with it. He was punctual and was patient with us when we would call and ask him questions even the day of.

Overall he made our wedding incredibly special and we will always appreciate it.

Incredible Officiant and so kind and warm!!!!

We were looking for an officiant just days before our wedding when Ron and his wife said they would be there! I was so relieved and after 14 years of engagement it was a pleasure to have Ron make us feel like he had known us forever! My little wedding would not have felt so special without him and recommend anyone who is getting married to choose him!!! Thank you so much Ron you will be in our wedding memories for the rest of time!
Love,
Cassandra and Daniel Smith

Recommend-Awesome

We were very lucky to have Reverend Ron officiate our wedding. He is a great speaker and seems extremely comfortable talking to large crowds. He is also very flexible. We added a lot of Filipino traditional elements, and he did them all and made it seem like he had been doing it for years. He will meet with you over zoom, get to know you a little, and then meet again to go over a draft of the speech. You can be as involved in what is said as you want to be.
