Rachel was amazing! From the moment I contacted her she was warm, friendly and professional. She gave us a choice of many ideas for our ceremony, which was a second wedding for both of us. She provided us with a beautiful ceremony which we will remember all of our lives. I most highly recommend her to officiate your wedding!!!

Rachel was incredible! My partner and I were thrilled to have someone like Rachel to officiate at our wedding. Rachel listened to our vision of our ceremony and showed up with professionalism and heart. She spent time getting to know us, our love story and why it was so important for us to be married in our way. She was so passionate and honored what it meant to be queer with a loveliness that felt sacred. AND she’s funny and charming. We couldn’t have asked for more!! I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Rachel of Custom Weddings is THE BEST!!! She was so responsive, kind, and made our day just wonderful and stress-free. She was also incredibly responsive and punctual. She goes the extra mile in the little details and it shows. We HIGHLY recommend her services!

We absolutely could not have been happier with Rachel and Custom Weddings. My wife and I had a decent idea what to expect when choosing a caterer, florist, etc., but we knew less than nothing about creating our wedding ceremony. Rachel sat down with us and walked us through the process of designing a ceremony that was absolutely perfect for us. She presented us with so many options for all of the different sections of the ceremony that we felt as though the script had been created just for us. Not only that, but Rachel's delivery was flawless; she was professional and well-spoken but also included just enough humor to calm our nerves. If you want an officiant who will work with you to make your wedding perfect, then look no further! Rachel was the perfect choice for our ceremony, and we can't recommend her highly enough.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Ask me about last minute services! If you are less than a month from your wedding date and you still want a special ceremony, please contact me ASAP- your dream can be a reality.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Getting to know one another is the most important first step! Let’s talk about you and your partner’s love story, and how we can infuse your ceremony with personal details. I’ll ask you a million questions to help me understand your wants and dreams, and I’ll walk you though the ceremony step by step. You will have the opportunity to read, review, and edit every word of the script before your big day to ensure your ceremony is perfect.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I apprenticed with an established minister for many months before I began offering my own services. I also have a background in book publishing with over 30 years of experience, which has given me a great facility with words and storytelling.
