Introduction
I am a marriage officiant with registration in NY. I've been awarded "Best of Thumbtack" every year since 2015. I do a thoughtful ceremony created with elements of the couple's personal narrative. It's important to me that the ceremony includes all the elements that the Bride and Groom desire. So in that respect, I try to stay out of the way and let them shine. Thoughtfully written vows and a little bit of humor makes for a great ceremony. Helping couples craft their perfect wedding ceremony is quite rewarding. When the father of the Bride comes over at the end and says, "That was wonderful. Thank you so much" or the mother of the Groom says, "That was the most entertaining ceremony I have ever seen" that makes my work so special.

Ross is exceptional at his craft. First off, he made my husband and I extremely comfortable the first time speaking with him. Felt like we knew Ross for years. He was there earlier, to talk to us and meet some of our family. We felt relief not having to reach out that day. Our ceremony had such an upbeat, entertaining, and lovable flow. I had never seen so many people entertained like they were at a wedding ceremony before. He respected our religious beliefs and incorporated them tastefully into our ceremony. He just gets it and takes the time to learn about you as a couple to find all the right things to say. I would 100 percent recommend Ross. Thank you for making our wedding so special.

Details: Wedding • Catholic • 101 - 150 guests • I'm flexible • English • I'm flexible

Ross arrived at our wedding early, dressed professionally, and with a beautiful, customized ceremony. Biana and I couldn't have asked for more. He was wonderful! I recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for an awesome officiant. (I don't have pictures on this computer, but hopefully, I'll be able to edit this review with photos later. I just couldn't forget to leave my glowing thoughts on such a wonderful experience.)

Ross Decker was the absolute perfect officiant for us! He arrived on time, went through what we had to say before hand and made the ceremony absolutely incredible. He was funny, captivating, and drew our audience into the service. He was an absolute delight to work with! We were able to schedule him the week of our wedding and he created an entire service and a night to remember. Amazing officiant and person! Would 100% recommend to anyone needing an officiant. Amazing service and night! Thank you so much!!
