Rev. Steven Fricke was the absolute best!!! I liked him just from our conversation back and forth on The Knot, but then we sat down with him for a meeting and fell in love with him. He is so laid back and just makes you feel comfortable. We talked about just random things, and had a blast. We got along so well with him, and knew he was the perfect officiant for our wedding.
I am a religious person but my (now) husband isn't really, and Rev. Fricke helped us to find the perfect middle ground for our ceremony. It was religious enough for me, but not over the top. He wording for the ceremony was just plain beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. He also left us a print out of the ceremony reading, which I will cherish forever. He was very courteous about our photos as well and purposely stepped out of the way during certain portions of the ceremony as to not be in the middle of shots, so the photos were a little more personal. Just an all around great guy.
His process for it all was very easy. When we left the meeting, he gave us a packet of different things people include in their ceremony- a secular, a reading, a prayer, all sorts of thing. As well as, he gave us a packet of different general vows. We looked through it all and sent him the different pieces we liked, he pieced it all together and sent us back a proof to read and edit as we wished. It was all extremely easy and painless.
His pricing was also extremely reasonable, if not cheaper than most of the other officiants I looked at. All in all, I highly, highly, highly recommend him. <3
