Rich is a great guy, and I loved the personal touches he put on our ceremony. He's quick to respond to emails, and I love how he really got to know us and let us get to know him be...
fore we conducted the ceremony together. The little book he gives couples after doing the wedding is a wonderful keepsake, too. Everyone at our wedding kept commenting on how quickly the ceremony went (which is exactly what we wanted--short and sweet, but personal!), and how they never got bored. They loved the stories about my husband and I that Rich shared and many said they were hanging on his every word. Thanks so much, Rich, for being so cool, kind, and funny! It was truly a joy to have you as our wedding officiant!
Rich was they most amazing officiant. He came to the rescue for my groom and I when your officiant quit a week before the wedding. Not only did he make it to the rehearsal, the wed...
ding , and a pre-wedding meeting, But he also made us the most perfect and beautiful ceremony. He was excellent at the rehearsal where he made everyone feel comfortable and got us all organized and just as amazing the day of the wedding. He arrived early and made sure everything was perfect. I cannot say enough good things about Rich. He really is the best. Even if you do not think you want a custom ceremony, it makes the whole wedding special. When he brings in traditional vows with your love story and readings you select its the most amazing thing. And he gives you a book with the whole ceremony in it and its fantastic!
We knew we did not want a cookie cutter ceremony - and Rich really got that. Our ceremony was so unique and special because Rich took the time to get to know us and our story. It w...
as great working with him and we got so many complements from people who loved how personal our ceremony was. The officiant you use can really make or brake your wedding and they se the tone for the whole event. Rich was so great and we will treasure our ceremony forever.
Rich was our wedding Officiant on our wedding day on April 29, 2012. From the very first meeting with him, we knew he was THE ONE for us! After we met with him, we didn't even want...
to meet with any other potential officiants. He was very professional, organized, patient, funny, and has a magical personality. He helped personalized our ceremony(Asian & Spanish rice instead of the sand ceremony) and it was simply unforgettable. He also put together a personalized ceremony booklet for us to keep. We'll never forget it because we also captured everything on DVD. =D On our one year anniversary, my husband and I watched the DVD, and we were still blown away by how amazing our ceremony was because of Rich. It wouldn't have been the same without him. We got so many compliments about him. Since then, we've been to a few more weddings, and let me tell you...their officiants ain't got NOTHING on ours. It was so generic and they didn't possess that commanding, yet passionate voice Rich had. Thank you so much! We'll never forget you!
Rich Cowley is wonderful: warm, genuine, creative ... Great voice. He was there every step of the way to answer any questions we had. Very thorough rehearsal, I felt well prepared....
He wrote a personalized ceremony for us and tweaked it each time we asked him to change certain wording. He presented our vows that he put in a book with our photo, it was waiting for us on our table at the reception. We received so many complements about Rich from our guests as well. I would highly recommend Rich for your wedding minister any day. We are so glad we chose him. His wife even took a home video of the ceremony. He welcomed our English Bulldog as our ring bearer. Everything with Rich was fantastic, would not have changed one thing. No one will be disappointed if you choose him to be your wedding minister. We have only great things to say. Thank you Rich Cowley!!!
I honestly can not say enough wonderful things about Rich and his wife Phyllis. He created a ceremony that was truly representive of our relationship and it made people feel like t...
hey knew us more than before they walked into the wedding. Rich had everyone laughing and crying to celebrate our union. The ceremony was completely unique and I know that no one will ever have the same thing we did. Rich was extremely professional and worth every penny. His wife Phyllis took several pictures and video which she gave to us after the first meeting and wedding...it was such a nice added touch to have those little extras.
I was looking for a minister that had a real personal touch.Rich helped my husband and I come up with a beautiful ceremony.Rich took the time to get to know us and write a very per...
sonal and custom ceremony.You can't go wrong if you choose Rich to be your officiant.
Highly recommend! He takes the time to come up with a personalized ceremony. He is very funny, organized and helped us calm our nerves. Our ceremony was a great memory.
My husband and I were looking for a non-denominational officiant. We interviewed 2 before meeting Rich. He did not push any agenda on us. He was totally accepting of the fact that ...
we did not want to incorporate God or religion into the wedding at all. He had a great sense of humor. His wife came along for the meetings and was very friendly. He took note of important information we gave him. He sent us the script for the ceremony and we made necessary changes and it was sent back and forth until perfection was acheived. We each email him our vows and he typed them for us and gave them to us the day of the wedding. He surprised us with a little black book with a picture on the front. In the book was every word spoken in the ceremony, including the lyrics of the song our singer sang. Rich had a warm and humorous personality. Our family and friends spoke of him for days. They thought he was great. The only thing we did not like was he and his wife followed us around after the ceremony trying to film our response to his services. We did it because he did do a good job and obviously needs to make a living, as we all do, however it was a bit annoying. Then he filmed the first dance. Didn't know he was gunna do that. Just make sure if you don't want anything regarding your wedding on his website to reiterate this to him before and after the wedding, because he can be a bit pushy when it comes to that. Overall though, he did us proud!
