    My husband and I were inspired by high Yelp reviews to work with Reverend Rich for our Nestldown…read morewedding in September. That said, we are sad to be writing only a 3 star review based on our experience. HIGLIGHTS: 1) He was very quick to communicate and always friendly and personable on the phone 2) He was flexible with us changing our date due to the pandemic 3) He was very determined to say my husband's non American name correctly and he did! Thank you so much for that, Reverend Rich! DISAPPOINTMENTS: 1) Wedding day speaking was a lot more monotone and less energetic than what we had hoped for 2) The vows he read at our ceremony were NOT the same as the ones we confirmed in the "final vows" email. 2a) My husband and I both checked this before I sat down to write this review. At best, this was a lack of organization that left us surprised at the altar. Specifically, we removed "for the first time" when Reverend Rich would introduce us as "Mr. and Mrs." We had explained to Reverend Rich that because of covid, we had already been legally married for a year and I had been going by my new last name since then. So, it was not "for the first time" that I was "Mrs.". Some of our less close guests were left confused, and my husband and I had to hide our frustration at the end of the ceremony. Reverend Rich was also aware that we did not need to be legally wed (since again, we had already been legally married for a year at that point), as we discussed not having a marriage license for him to sign. 2b) He also had added "let's do that again" after my husband and I kissed. It wasn't clear if we were supposed to kiss again (which we did), or if the audience didn't clap loud enough to his opinion. The possibility of the latter left us somewhat embarrassed. TLDR; nice guy, but the word doc called "final vows" that we got was not in fact the same doc that he read at our ceremony

    Don't hesitate, and book Reverend Rich for your wedding date! We had a consultation with him after…read moretalking to another officiant, and loved him. He is funny, kind, personable, and would've crafted a great ceremony for us. His fees are very reasonable, but we unfortunately hesitated due to his additional travel fees since our wedding is a bit far for him (in the East Bay). Due to the travel fees, we decided not to book him and thought we'd find a more local officiant. We talked to several others in the next few weeks and struggled to find one we liked as much as Rev. Rich. We decided he was worth the travel fees and gave him a call back, but he was already booked for our date (over a year out)! Even though he was booked, he worked hard to give us recommendations for other officiants and even offered help with writing a script if we decided to have a friend officiate.

    Saundra was recommended to us by our wedding planner and we were glad we choose her. We were…read morelooking for a more casual and non-religious officiant for our wedding and Saundra was more than willing to accommodate our preferences. Our first intro call was extremely informative. She laid out her process and her experiences with other couples and different types of weddings she's officiated in the past. It was clear she was an experienced officiant from the well-established process she had. Her communication was very effective. Her meetings were tailored toward new couples who have zero experience with weddings and she was always responsive to any questions we had through email or text. We received many compliments about the Ceremony that she officiated. Saundra had developed 90% of the script herself and personalized it based on our preferences. Her delivery and energy was less officiant-like and more casual/home-like which was what we were hoping for. I definitely would recommend Saundra as an officiant for any wedding. Her support and preparation for our wedding left no ambiguity during the ceremony.

    After meeting a few potential officiants for our wedding, we chose Saundra because of her warmth,…read moreprofessionalism, and thoroughness discussing all of the details for our ceremony and the marriage certificate process. She thought of every detail, from synthesizing our memories together into a cohesive narrative for the ceremony message, to explaining the technical/legal difference between a public and confidential marriage license, to helping us edit our vows, and guiding us through rehearsal. We are so thankful we found Saundra and highly recommend her for any wedding!

    Carol was such a gem of a discovery. We weren't sure if we were going to have a friend to…read more'officiate' our wedding since we already had done our civil ceremony. We figured we'd just repeat a few words for the sake of a ceremony and move on... BUT THEN! We found Carol - the sweetest, caring reverend who added so many ornate intricate details to the ceremony and made it extra special for all guests. ** THE LEAD UP ** Carol spent time getting to know us personally, something not all officiants do. She also gave us homework that made us feel vulnerable with each other, and that made us feel closer together. I always thought couples counseling was for people who had issues, but it turns out you can feel closer together even when you didn't think it was possible! ** THE CEREMONY ** Carol was able to suggest things like a candle lighting, and chiming of a spiritual bowl in the beginning, but also added some lighthearted funny jokes within her speech. She brought our families closer together during the ceremony, and a found a way to get everyone involved when I thought originally it would just be my husband and I going down the aisle. Everyone was so touched by the ceremony, they mentioned this was certainly the highlight of the night -- many friends who have hearts of stone were moved and even teared up. :) Glad we were able to touch the hearts of all our friends and family with the help of Carol. TLDR: Carol is truly amazing, brings spiritual elements and families closer together when you didn't think you could be any closer. I cannot wait to meet up with Carol again.

Our guests felt connected to the ceremony. as has been mentioned many a time to us since the day. It was a beautiful fixture of the day, rather the price of admission for a good meal and a party. Carol was supportive, insightful and kind through every step of the way. We weren't afraid to say our vows to each other in front of our friends and family because she helped us to feel so confident in the words we were saying to on another. We fully trusted Carol, her help and her ability to guide the ceremony. We highly recommend meeting with Carol. Without her we wouldn't have been pushed to write the vows we needed to for one another. We may not have taken the time to reflect so deeply and in depth on our relationship and that would not have produced such a genuine exchange between us and our friends and families through the ceremony. We had not felt so much happiness, love and cheer in such a long time. Thank you Carol for making our ceremony a time in which we finally got to breath and focus on each other. In the end that is what the whole thing was about... Our love and choice to be each others partners, the joining of our worlds and the presentation of that love to those we hold dear. Thank you for helping us to honor that truly.

    We are so glad we had Irene officiate our wedding!…read more She was so knowledgeable about the process and helped us craft the perfect, nondenominational ceremony that highlighted our love story. She was easy to work with and provided us clear deadlines for when we needed to give her specific info, which really helped us manage our time and gave us structure. What I loved most of all was that I had full faith Irene had it under control, and for our wedding day, we really wanted to reduce our stress and have fun with it. Irene nailed the assignment! Several of our guests told us after the wedding how much they loved the ceremony. We have Irene to thank for it turning out just as magical as we had imagined!

For us, we wanted structure, and Irene presented us with lots of options. I want to highlight her eloquence and her natural curiosity. She asked all the right questions and weaved together an introduction that moved us, and turned a magical moment into something divine. I would recommend her regardless of the particular needs of your ceremony, because I think she has the experience and wisdom to adapt to your needs.
