What a great wedding day we had - Rashad was so accommodating and understanding, tailoring the entire ceremony around our unconventional asks. Our wedding was very private, small, and outdoors. Even in the mist, he was positive while politely ensuring we were on schedule. Definitely recommend! Special day I will never forget.

Hired Rashad to be our officiant for a last minute pandemic wedding. Rashad was AWESOME. We started planning 3 days before the date and he had a really fast response, gave good advice, and made us feel at ease. The day of the wedding, Rashad came on time and gave a wonderful speech to our small group. The length of his speech was PERFECT---we didn't want something too long and not something too short. It felt like we'd been friends for a long time. It fit the atmosphere well. Thank you so much, Rashad! You were a memorable part of our day.

Absolutely wonderful! I knew the first time speaking on the phone that he was the perfect fit. The ceremony script used was one he hadn't used prior and I swear it was written just for us. He arrived on time, was extremely professional yet down to earth. Both my Husband and I felt so at ease with him as our officiant. Once again thank you so much! You are a true blessing to have for anyones wedding officiant!

We hired Rashad as our wedding officiant at a remote cabin near Mt. Rainier National Park. We was so helpful with all the fine details and extremely responsive to messages and questions. We planned our trip from Indiana, and he gave us piece of mind that all loose ends were taken care of to make our special day stressfree. We would recommend his services over and over again! Thank you Rashad for being so kind, attentive, reassuring, and professional. You followed through on everything we discussed and we could not appreciate you more!
