We were incredibly fortunate to have Pastor Rick Givens officiate our wedding ceremony, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From our very first meeting, Pastor Rick exuded warmth, wisdom, and a genuine passion for uniting couples in love. Throughout the planning process, he was exceptionally supportive and flexible, ensuring that our ceremony reflected our values and beliefs. His words during the ceremony were not only beautifully crafted but also deeply meaningful, resonating with both us and our guests. He effortlessly created an atmosphere of love, joy, and spirituality that truly made our ceremony unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple seeking an officiant who not only delivers a flawless ceremony but also incorporates your values! BONUS: He mails your marriage certificate in for you! We were so glad since we left for our honeymoon the next day.

Pastor Rick did an excellent job officiating my wedding! I had a May 4th Star Wars themed wedding, and he did a great job incorporating that within the Christian ceremony. He kept things fun and adapted to technical issues with the audio with zero problems. Great communication and professionalism. Thank you so much!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of renewing our wedding vows under the guidance and leadership of Pastor Rick, and it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we reached out to Pastor Rick to discuss our vision for the ceremony, we knew we were in capable hands. His warmth, empathy, and genuine interest in making our ceremony meaningful to us were evident from our very first conversation. Pastor Rick took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding the journey we had been on since our wedding day and the significance of renewing our vows. He listened attentively to our desires for the ceremony, offering guidance and suggestions while always respecting our wishes. His ability to strike the perfect balance between tradition and personalization ensured that our ceremony felt uniquely ours. On the day of the ceremony, Pastor Rick’s presence was a calming influence amidst the whirlwind of emotions. His words were profound yet accessible, resonating with both of us. He seamlessly integrated elements of faith into the ceremony, honoring our spiritual beliefs. One of the most remarkable aspects of Pastor Rick’s approach was his ability to infuse humor and light-heartedness into the proceedings, creating moments of joy and laughter that will be cherished for years to come. His genuine affection for people and his calling to unite couples in love were evident in every word he spoke and every gesture he made. We cannot recommend Pastor Rick highly enough to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated officiant for their wedding renewal ceremony. His ability to create a sacred and joyous space where love can be celebrated is truly a gift, and we feel immensely blessed to have had him guide us through this important milestone in our journey together. Thank you, Pastor Rick, for making our wedding renewal ceremony an experience we will treasure always. Sincerely, Roland and Kara Garza
