Ted co-designed an amazing ceremony for our union. He wrote and shared man oratory that was crafted specifically for our personalities and needs. Ted also helped us write our vows. He poured his heart and soul into our wedding experience and the memories will last our entire lives.

It is my pleasure to provide this reference for Theodore Richards, who officiated my wedding 15 years ago. From the very beginning, Ted demonstrated professionalism, warmth, and kindness. He spoke with reverence during the ceremony and incorporated every aspect we had discussed in advance, ensuring that our wishes were honored and reflected throughout.
In addition, Ted coordinated seamlessly with our other minister so that they could co-officiate together. This collaboration was handled with grace and ease, resulting in a ceremony that was both smooth and beautiful. His thoughtful presence and attention to detail made our wedding day meaningful and deeply special.
I would, without hesitation, recommend Ted Richards to officiate any wedding. He brings warmth, depth, and a genuine respect for the couple’s input and suggestions. Ted has a true gift for creating ceremonies that are not only well-organized, but also deeply personal and significant.
