Officiant Question

[FlamingoAllie]

ok...so I need to get the ball rolling on an officiant. I want a secular service (we are not religious). Who does everyone suggest, and why?

We had Ron Rosenzweig - he was an absolute pleasure; we cannot recommend him highly enough.

I've copied and pasted my review of him below:

Officiant - Ron Rosenzweig 10/10

We wanted Ron to perform our ceremony as we are not particularly religious and liked the fact that he wore a suit rather than robes. Ron was lovely, very calm and relaxed. He walked us through everything and double checked our personal reading before the ceremony. Once the ceremony began everything was word perfect, he made it very much about 'us' and thus very intimate and romantic. As we had no guests he even offered us a toast after the ceremony, which we thought was wonderful.

During email communication Ron comes across as very much down to business, which makes it difficult to warm to him. However, once we met and spoke with him we both knew we'd made the right choice.

We are so very pleased we chose Ron as our officiant, in our opinion you could not ask for a better non religious ceremony. Thanks so much Ron!

I know there are a few other officiants that offer non religious ceremonies, it may be worth taking a look at these threads:

Good luck deciding

We also had Ron for our ceremony. We chose his because he is non-denominational but also dressed in a suit and was professional. He is highly recommended. Here is the link to his site where you can check out his services...

I had Rev. Jack Day for our ceremony. I am not a religous person nor are the families. He was so great and very pleasant to speak with. I know that quite a few Dis brides used him as well.

We used Rev. Randal Miller. He is very personable and pleasant. He was easy to communicate with via email, which I liked. He offers a non-religious service, which is what we opted for. He did wear a black robe but there are, I think, a couple of pictures on his website where he's in a suit so that may be an option to ask about.

We are not religious either and went with Rev Kevin Knox. He was professional, kind, flexible and made himself easily available via phone and email. He and his wife Teresa were great to work with and really made everything go so smoothly! Not to mention, his delivery and ability to perform the service with a sincere and kind manner were perfect! We had so many comments on how great he was!

Check out the videos on his web site to see him in action! You will see what I mean!
