We picked the perfect wording for us and it really felt like us. Mike was so nice, he made us feel at ease up in front of all our friends and family. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant.

Gwen was able to take our call late at night, assist us with all of our questions, and on top of that set up reservations for us the following week. Gwen is amazing from the start of the wedding to the end, I did not know that she was going to be doing the wedding. She got up and gave a heart warming ceremony, continuing on after the kiss :) Gwen understands her studio so well and was able to suggest great pictures that we will treasure. In the end amazing, excellent, memorable all these words come to mind and she was the one that made them happen!

We liked him the minute we met him and truly appreciated his attention to detail and his philosophy on wedding ceremonies. He is a true professional and even with his years of experience, he listened to what we wanted from our wedding ceremony and met every single expectation. He is a wonderful man and our families really enjoyed the time spent with him during the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and wedding reception. Even now, 2 months later, our wedding guests are still commenting on how intimate and special the ceremony was... so touching and beautiful. Thank you, Larry!!!!

We hired Ralph with Secular Services for our non-religious wedding ceremony in Mesa, AZ. It was so…read morehard to find an affordable wedding officiant that is comfortable with the fact that we are not religious. I stumbled upon his website using a google search and so happy I did! I emailed him and he set up a time to meet my now-husband at a Starbucks. We discussed what we had in mind and he had no problem incorporating our ideas into the ceremony. Once we met him, we knew his personality would be perfect for our ceremony. He has a great sense of humor and is very easy to talk to. Ralph did an outstanding job and we had a very beautiful and meaningful ceremony thanks to him. He is very professional! He arrived on-time, dressed in a nice suit and made sure we didn't have any last minute ideas we wanted before beginning our ceremony. If you are looking for a Secular/Humanist officiant for your wedding ceremony I highly recommend contacting Ralph to perform your wedding.

My husband and I wish we could do it all over again...not the planning but of course the celebrating with all our loved ones. We went to Papago park before the ceremony to get most of the photos out of the way and they turned out fantastic. Chadwick and his team blended right in to our party and even set up a slide show of the photos taken before the ceremony for our guests to enjoy which was super cool! We can't wait to get our wedding album from him and would definitely recommend his services for your special moments. Definitely don't pass up the chance to work with Chadwick and his team.

After looking through thousands of pictures from TONS of photographers, my fiancee (and now…read morehusband) and I decided on Chadwick for his extemely creative style, and the way he seemed to capture the different feels of each wedding. So we expected the photos to be amazing. And oh. my. gosh. I've heard "these look like they are straight out of a magazine!" from about 98% of the people who have seen them. Okay, so I said I expected them to be awesome. What I didn't expect, however, was how incredibly personal he was about everything. He took the time to get a good feel of my husband and I, and captured our "us" to a TEE! Looking back at the photos, I don't even remember seeing him there, he was so discreet, not like the photographers you see flailing themselves all over the place rudely in front of everyone. I felt like he cared as much about my day as I did! I would recommend Chadwick to anyone. He's very professional, talented, and just an all around kind-hearted person.

AMAZING OFFICIANT - PERFECT FOR ANY WEDDING! We could not be happier and absolutely cannot say…read moreenough about Ken and the service he provides! From the beginning, every interaction we had with Ken and his wife was delightful and easy. I had originally put a request on Thumbtack, and Ken stood out as having taken the time to consider our backgrounds (religious bride and non-religious groom) and provide a thoughtful response back to us. When I then contacted him to coordinate, his responses were always very clear and accommodating and instant, and it meant a lot to me that his fees were low and not based on additional meetings, rehearsal, etc. (Mostly because I figured this said a lot about him as an officiant.) Next, we really enjoyed meeting with Ken and his wife, Lorene, as they are both very genuine, easygoing, and warm, and it continued to be obvious that they put a lot of thought into crafting great personalized ceremonies for their couples. (Ken mentioned the different diverse backgrounds he had written ceremonies for too - quite impressive!) Especially after meeting them, I just knew we couldn't have made a better choice!! The whole ceremony was then drafted based on our wishes (very timely and useful - complete with directions, music changes, etc.), and we could make edits as desired. We were perfectly thrilled what he put together (a somewhat religiously-neutral ceremony that was also sweet, sincere, and uplifting), and we then just made minor changes to further personalize. Finally, the day itself couldn't have gone any better (of course by then we already knew it would be great!). He showed up early, looked very nice, spoke beautifully, and the ceremony was all that we hoped and more. We are truly forever grateful! THANK YOU FOR MARRYING US! :D

I worked a wedding with him yesterday and he had a team with him that were equally fabulous. He is very sociable, on the ball, and his photos are incredible. He is also the Spring Training photographer for the LA Dodgers, which says a lot about the quality you can expect to receive. Thanks for the smooth sailing, Tim! As a wedding coordinator it can be difficult to ensure all is on schedule and that everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing, and you are truly a professional as I didn't have to bug you once!

His video was well shot and creative, and so entertaining to watch. We watch it all the time and love it! To start, David had excellent communication with me in preparing for what we wanted the video to be like to delivering it to us so quickly. He took everything that I wanted and turned it into a beautiful video compilation, from the music to all of the special moments he unobtrusively captured. We paid David to start at 3:00 but after seeing our schedule (which had the wedding party getting ready at 10:00) he surprised us and decided to come at 10:00 "because he thought those moments should be captured". He went above and beyond and stayed until the end of the party and got everything on video. His video was our best spent money in our wedding budget. I appreciated David and what he did for us so much and you will too if you give him the opportunity to do your video!
