  Amazing officiant!

  Raina was such a pleasure to work with! She was so helpful and personable. She made my husband and I feel comfortable and excited every step of the way, from trying to solidify our ceremony, to the rehearsal, and finally to our wedding day. When we had to reschedule our original wedding day due to COVID-19, Raina was flexible and reassuring. She helped make our wedding so special and we are so thankful!

  Raina was a godsend to us when our previous officiant went MIA two days before our wedding. Raina stepped in an officiated our ceremony exactly as we dreamed-- all at the very last minute. Many guests commented that they would have had NO idea she was a last minute stand in since she did such a great job. I wish we started working with her from day one!

  Raina did an amazing job! She has such a clear, confident, gentle voice that was perfect for our ceremony. We met her through our venue, where she also works, so it was a perfect match. Raina was an amazing help through the planning process. She sent us PAGES worth of ceremony options and we went through to cut and paste our own original ceremony. It was really awesome. The amount of material and options she has really makes it easy to personalize your ceremony. The rehearsal went so quick, and was so much easier than I expected. Raina makes it such a piece of cake! The ceremony was flawless, and she kept the whole thing on perfect time from beginning to end. After our wedding several guests told me how great she was. Not only is she great at her job, but she was also a really great person to work with. Very laid back and easy to talk to. Highly recommend!!

  Raina did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. She is a very sweet person and is very easy to work with. We made a lot of changes to the ceremony over the course of the planning period and she was totally fine with it and very flexible. We wrote messages to each other that she incorporated into the ceremony and she did a beautiful job reading our messages out loud. She was very relaxed and helped me feel at ease. I really enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her.

  Raina was great! She is young and fresh and totally understood the type of ceremony we wanted. She gave us some options to choose from with the availability to adjust as needed. Raina took care of all the post wedding marriage certificate details. She also followed up with me afterwards to explain what I would need to do to get additional copies.
  Raina was very responsive to all of my emails and phone calls!
  Highly recommend Raina!

  Excellent! Couldn't have been happier!
  Raina did such a great job of capturing who we are as a couple. She made us feel comfortable and at ease. She truly made our wedding day unforgettable.

  From our first meeting with Raina, we knew she was the right person to perform our ceremony. We clicked right away. She is down to earth and was very open to our offbeat ceremony ideas (even bough looking back, they probably sounded a bit corny!). We had not written our vows, up until a week before the wedding (eeks!). Raina gave us lots of ideas for the ceremony wording, readings, etc., which we customized & combined with other wording we liked, to make something a little unique just for us. She was also very helpful on the day of the wedding, trying to help me relax as I was running a little late in getting ready. If I had it all to do over again, there are a few things I would change about our whole wedding, but I would definitely have Raina officiate for us again in a heartbeat.

  Raina was awesome! She is a down to earth person who cares whether or not your wedding goes well or not.

She truly made our wedding day unforgettable. Her prices are not outrageous and even though we didn't do a rehearsal, everything went very smoothly!

  We were very pleased with the officiant services provided by Raina. She was flexible, open-minded, and professional. We wanted to have a relatively traditional ceremony, with some of our own unique and personal elements. She was always open to our ideas, and provided helpful suggestions. She crafted a ceremony, which she allowed us to review and modify, and delivered exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. She always responded promptly to emails, and was on time (early, actually) for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. She was very organized and professional and we always felt confident that she had everything handled. We would highly recommend Raina’s services, and thank her for helping to make our wedding day so special. We got tons of compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was, and we have her creativity and positive demeanor to thank for that!

  Weddings by Raina was a great choice for us. She let us decide what type of ceremony we wanted and let us customize it! She did a great job at the service of projecting out to the guests (our wedding was outdoors). We loved her!

  raina was very friendly, and went above and beyond being just an officiant. we had no wedding planner, but she along with the venue helped us coordinate the details of our wedding the day of. She was very approachable, and helped put us at ease when we were going through one of our most stressful parts of our lives (wedding planning). Her costs were considerably less than other vendors, and she met/exceeded all our initial needs, as well as needs we didn't even know we had!

  Raina was amazing as our wedding officiant. My now-husband and I are of different religious faiths, and we wanted a ceremony that incorporated different religious elements but was also personalized, incorporating our family and friends. From the day we met Raina, she was easy-going, flexible, and understanding, and helped us plan a ceremony that was exactly what we were hoping for. She was also incredibly responsive and organized, making sure to check in with us periodically between when we booked her and the week of our wedding. During our wedding rehearsal and on our wedding day, she was so helpful in counteracting some of the less helpful assistance we were receiving from other corners of our wedding. Lastly, on our wedding day, she arrived early, and stayed late, and even helped my sister bustle my wedding dress, which was no easy task. Raina exceeded our expectations and helped make our wedding ceremony everything we hoped it would be. Thank you!!!

  Raina got back to us right away. She was really great to work with. She gave us so many different ideas for the ceremony. We even customized our readings and my mom wanted something added last minute and she worked it right in. She really helped us make the ceremony that was best for us. She spoke clear and was so nice and professional. I would highly recomend Raina!

  Raina did an adequate job officiating my daughter's wedding. She worked with the bride and groom in writing the ceremony—sending potential readings and directing them to websites for more. I was a bit disappointed in the exchange of rings. She spoke the words they were to repeat away from the microphone and did not give the microphone to the bride and groom. Therefore, no one heard the exchange of words. The ceremony was a bit stiff with her simply reading their selections without ever interjecting any explanation. (i.e. "First reading...") I also heard her make repeated inappropriate remarks to guests about the restaurant where we had the rehearsal dinner, unaware that was our venue.
