Guests raved about him!

Richard was an amazing celebrant and we were so happy to have him be a part of our wedding. Richard made planning for the ceremony very easy, and offered his support throughout the journey. Our guests all raved about him and couldn’t believe that he hadn’t known us for years due to the personal touches that he added to the ceremony. Thank you Richard

Personal and Moving

Richard was amazing. We had two Zoom calls with Richard before our wedding. He was so easy to talk to, and we felt that we clicked really well with him. He spent time getting to know us, and therefore, his words were so personal and moving. He asked several of our friends and family to share messages for us, which he read out at the end of the ceremony, which was such a lovely touch. One of these was very funny,
and Richard delivered it perfectly. So many people commented on how lovely the ceremony was, and how well Richard spoke. We would highlyrecommend him.

Perfect ceremony produced and delivered by Richard!

Richard was brilliant. From our initial call, he immediately put us at ease, carefully listened to everything we shared, and then created an exceptional, unique ceremony that felt truly personal and exceeded our expectations.

All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how perfect Richard’s words and chosen poems were. Richard also took the time to review our vows, and he printed the vows, certificate, and ceremony for us as keepsake copies.

We could not recommend him more highly – we are so happy we chose him to create such a special day for us.
