The I Do Guru

Ryan was absolutely essential in making our special, intimate day perfect! We couldn't have done it without him. His words were beautifully delivered and we were both so happy we chose him to officiate our elopement! CHOOSE HIM. You'll be glad you did!

My husband and I were so happy when we found Ryan to officiate our wedding after interviewing at least six other officiants. We were looking for someone organized and confident, who would be understanding of us wanting a non-religious ceremony. It was also important for us to find someone who would be comfortable preforming a handfasting at our ceremony. I initially spoke with Ryan over the phone. He was very informative about the ceremony and booking process, and was not pushy at all which I appreciated. Later on after booking, he emailed us information which helped us in putting our vows and scripts for the wedding together. A few weeks out before the wedding my husband and I both spoke with him on the phone to go over the order of the ceremony and talk over details such as the handfasting. Ryan practiced the exact handfasting we chose from a YouTube video which helped us all known what to expect the day of, which went off without a hitch! We were also impressed at the fact that he asked us about our wedding color scheme and dressed accordingly, as well as let us know he would be stepping aside for the first kiss photo. I know after interviewing so many officiants ourselves that it can be kind of awkward to ask the officiant if they wouldn't mind stepping to the side for the photo, so I thought it was really nice that he offered to do that without us even having to bring it up. On the day of our wedding (our first time meeting him), he showed up early, checked in with our coordinator and DJ and helped calm my nerves before walking down the isle. If we were planning a second wedding, we would book him again! lol Thanks Ryan!
