People ask what my style is and it always feels like a hard question to answer. Hopefully the comments below from persons whom I consider life-long friends, give a sense of who I am. I may have a ‘style,’ but my aim is to just love. I show love by caring about the details and being prepared, whether it’s family, friends or you. I am so grateful for the couples who have trusted me for their wedding prep and on their big day!
“Do not hesitate on booking Pastor Rich; he is the BEST!! All of our guests were blown away by Pastor Rich’s message at our ceremony. He really captured my husband and my personalities and did a phenomenal job. Couples, who had been married for years, came up to us later in the night to tell us how thankful they were because they needed to hear what Pastor Rich said for their own marriages.” Catherine N. (posted on the Knot)
I can’t describe in words how great Pastor Rich has been to my husband and I. We had to find a new pastor with two weeks to go to our wedding. Pastor Rich stepped up relaxed the situation and did an OUTSTANDING job. He met with us once for only one hour long and picked up on our personalities and what we visioned our ceremony to be like. Pastor rich was organized, professional, very welcoming and also VERY reasonable on price. He even learned how to say some words in Italian for us:) I wouldn’t look any further for a Pastor – thank you again! Marissa D. and Jim C.

Pastor Rich is such a wonderful person and it was so great to work with him. My husband and I booked him right on the spot after meeting him. He made our ceremony feel so intimate and spoke so beautifully. We received so many compliments from our guests on the job Pastor Rich had done. Thank you for everything, Pastor Rich!

Best experience of the wedding! Could not have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding. From beginning to ending Pastor Rich made the process so easy, very open to any ideas and dealing with a difficult groom whom was extremely nervous. Every guest said that they have not heard such a beautiful message and delivery at a wedding like Pastor Rich did. Thank You so much Pastor Rich for making is easily one of the most memorable days of our lives!
Pastor Rich was absolutely wonderful! He was flexible, easy to work with and quick to respond to e-mails or phone calls. I would highly recommend Pastor Rich to anyone who is looking for a wedding officiant, you will not be disappointed! Katie P.

My husband and I could not be any happier with Pastor Rich Rubietta!!! He officiated our July 2017 wedding in an outdoor setting at The Morton Arboretum. From the first day of our communication Pastor Rich has been organized, easy to reach and very responsive as well as caring! Very attentive throughout the getting to know us process and questionnaire. He has attention to detail and poured his heart into making our religious ceremony so memorable! Meeting Pastor Rich and having our rehearsal was very enjoyable and fun, and he walked us every step of the way through the procession. He is punctual and his suggestions and ideas were so helpful and creative! Pastor Rich is appropriately humorous and fun and we enjoyed that in him!! Our ceremony was perfect!! We received so many compliments from our guests!! We absolutely recommend Pastor Rich to all engaged couples!! God Bless and thank you!! Roxana and Dan
| An Absolutely Fantastic Officiant!! |
| We had the honor of having Pastor Rich be the officiant at our wedding this October. We couldn’t have chosen anyone better! I was pretty skeptical at first of finding an officiant online, it seemed so impersonal and kind of cold. However my apprehension completely disappeared when we first met Rich over coffee. Pastor Rich is an incredibly warm, kind-hearted, and open individual who is also a very experienced and knowledgeable wedding officiant. Pastor Rich made sure every step along the way was about us and what we wanted our wedding to be. He executed all the details of our ceremony just as we’d imagined and was a significant calming presence to our entire wedding party, especially the to the groom. Again, it couldn’t have been better. Thank you Rich, for everything…Sarah and Grant Gibson |

Everything he said was so beautiful and really helped set the mood for the wedding. Everyone loved him and talks about how friendly he was. We are so grateful that we found someone like Pastor Rich, to join our two families.”

Pastor Rich was the perfect choice to preside over our wedding. He took time to direct us through the areas of the ceremony that we had not previously thought about and brought a welcome personal touch to the proceedings. Several of our guests were interested in using his services in the future due to the success of our event.

My wife and I decided to get married on short notice between Christmas and New Years. We found Pastor Rich on The Knot (highly reviewed) and reached out only 3 days before our proposed wedding day. Pastor Rich responded quickly and was very willing to be flexible to work within our timeline over the holidays which we’re very grateful for. On the big day, he arrived on time, made both of us very comfortable with pre-wedding jitters, guided us through the ceremony and verified all the paperwork was completed correctly. I would highly recommend Pastor Rich if you’re looking for a polite, professional and seasoned officiant” Steve D. 12/30/2020
Pastor Rich was a great officiant for our wedding. He answered all of our questions and was quick at responding to emails.

Pastor Rich officiated our wedding last month and we are very happy with how everything turned out! We also did a rehearsal with him and all the bridal party and family felt very involved and that they knew exactly what to do and expect on our wedding day! He took the time to make our ceremony very personable and was very easy to get ahold of and present during the whole process leading up to our wedding (even during a pandemic). We had many people comment on how it was such a beautiful ceremony and that definitely has a lot to do with pastor Rich!” Shannon O. 5.0. 11/20/2020
My husband Bobby and I had the BEST experience with Pastor Rich. When we met (a year before our wedding), he made everything super easy for us! We knew Pastor Rich would be great on the day of our wedding, but he truly went above and beyond our expectations. I can’t wait to see the video from our ceremony so we can relive our special day. Highly recommend Pastor Rich!! 🙂 Juliann S. 5.0. 11/10/2020
Congratulations !! We want to express our total satisfaction with the Pastor Rich Rubieta, a person with many ethical values, humanity, fairness and a good sense of humor.

Pastor Rich was great to work with from the moment we decided to have him officiate our wedding, to the end of the ceremony itself. He was always professional and easy to talk to, quick to respond to our questions, and happy to help plan our ceremony and coordinate all of the little moves we would have never thought of. He took the time to get to know my wife and I, and tailor our ceremony to our story and our relationship. We’d recommend Pastor Rich to anyone who’s looking for a professional officiant that can be serious and sincere, as well as lighthearted and fun. Amanda H. 5.0. 11/01/2020
My husband and I are so happy we found Pastor Rich to officiate our wedding over the summer. We were stressed with the amount of planning and replanning we needed to do because of the ever-changing COVID restrictions. Pastor Rich made our ceremony planning EASY and was such a calm and professional presence. He took the time to get to know us and immediately after we first connected, we knew he would be the officiant for us. Pastor Rich provided the right amount guidance and suggestions to tailor the ceremony special to us, but also incorporate the traditional elements we were were looking for which didn’t overcomplicate things. If you want a professional, reliable, officiant who will make your ceremony planning a breeze, I highly recommend Pastor Rich! Audrey J. 5.0. 10/31/2020
Pastor Rich officiated our wedding on July 4, 2020 and he was wonderful to work with! He took the time to get to know us as a couple and really learn our story. His warmth, good humor, and strong faith set the perfect tone for our wedding. He portrayed our story so beautifully, and we are so happy with how it all came together. Thank you, Pastor Rich, for helping to make our wedding so meaningful, special, and memorable!!

Pastor Rich is authentic in the truest form. He listened to our story, and curated a beautiful speech that left not a dry eye at the ceremony. He took the time to listen to what we wanted as a couple and made that happen on our wedding day. He’s everything we were looking for in a Pastor – sincere, diligent, funny, spiritual, and memorable. Lindsey B. 5.0 10/30/2020
Pastor Rich made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! Having a bilingual (Spanish/English) officiant was very important to us and Pastor Rich did a beautiful job bringing together our two cultures. We received so many compliments on how lovely and personal the experience was for our guests. Pastor Rich took the time to get to know us and was very communicative from start to finish. Even during normal times, wedding planning can be stressful, but bringing the day together during a global pandemic was unthinkable. So grateful that we had Pastor Rich in our corner! Josh and Alex F. 5.0. 10/29/2020
We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to have Pastor Rich be our pastor! From the very beginning he took an interest in our relationship as a couple and helped us with building our connection for the future. Due to COVID, we had to reschedule our wedding date and change a lot of aspects of our big day. Pastor Rich was extremely flexible with our date change and was willing to help with the change in any way he could. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and we couldn’t have been more happy with our ceremony! We have gotten so many compliments from our family and friends about how much they enjoyed his message on marriage and love. Heather S. 5.0. 10/29/2020
We are so, SO pleased with Pastor Rich. He exceeded our expectations with his sincerity! We had a “get to know you” zoom call with Pastor Rich due to Covid and our ever-changing work schedules. We only met Pastor Rich in-person just mere moments before our ceremony and he was still able to provide us with such a personal and heartwarming ceremony. Pastor Rich is a great man and a phenomenal Pastor! Andrea M 5.0 10/27/2020
With my husband being from India, and me being from Venezuela, we wanted a pastor who could get us married in English as well as Spanish simultaneously. From the first time we meet Pastor Rich, he made us feel incredibly comfortable. He understood our love story and was able to beautifully include that into our ceremony which left our friends and families emotionally overjoyed, as Pastor Rich seamlessly overcame the language barrier for our guests. We highly recommend him!! Lauren M. 5.0. 10/27/2020
We loved our experience with Pastor Rich. He was so kind, supportive, and flexible with our ever-changing COVID wedding plans. Our wedding day ended up being just right, and Pastor Rich helped make it possible.
I called him to do my sister wedding. He was pleasant, genuine, and timely. His message was meaningful and appropriate for the couple. One of the best wedding ceremonies we have ever been to. Great job top notch! Joseph A 5.0 10/26/2020
Pastor Rich was great wedding officiant. He was very accommodating, professional, organized and more importantly showed a huge passion for what he does. His super friendly and heart welcoming personality shows you he genuinely loves what he does and works with you to give you the wedding of your dreams. Magaly M. 5.0. 10/25/2020

Pastor Rich was wonderful! We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID but decided to still get married with immediate family in the meantime and Pastor Rich officiated our small ceremony. He made the ceremony extremely special and was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. We would highly recommend working with him! Katy M. 5.0. 10/23/2020
Pastor Rich was the absolute best! We could not have hoped for a better person to marry us. The pandemic happening while trying to plan was stressful, but Rich was able to meet with us via Zoom, over the phone, and email to get to know us better, as well as help us with all of our questions and really put us at ease about everything. Our ceremony was beautiful and his words made it sound like he had known us for much longer than a few calls in the past year. If you are in need of an officiant, I would definitely recommend you get in touch with Pastor Rich no matter the ceremony you are looking for. Dani V. 5.0 10/23/2020
Pastor Rich was absolutely wonderful. Several of our friends and family asked us if we’ve known him our whole life, but in reality we only hired him a short WEEK before our wedding – that’s how personal and kind he was. We planned for a church ceremony for a year and a half but then only a week before our wedding date we had to change plans because of Covid-19. We scrambled to find an officiant for our now outdoor ceremony and thankfully we found Pastor Rich. He provided the BEST service and a great price. I loved that he made sure the ceremony wasn’t TOO lengthy but also didn’t feel rushed. I would recommend him to anyone! Sarah T. 5.0. 10/23/2020
My husband and I got married July 2020 (right in the middle of COVID-19). Pastor Rich was so flexible as we changed our wedding date a few times. The rehearsal was extremely organized and put my mind at ease. He made it so there was nothing to worry about on our special day. Pastor Rich officiated our ceremony so well it was as though he had known us forever. There is a reason he asks so many questions during your initial meeting! Our wedding was light hearted, sweet, emotional, and funny. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Pastor Rich! Emily G. 5.0. 10/22/2020
My husband and I got married on 9/5/2020 and Pastor Rich was our officiant. We are so happy to have chosen him for our ceremony – he has such a great style and is a joy to be around. We clicked with him from our very first phone conversation and really appreciated his approach to everything. He is very organized, transparent, timely, takes detailed notes and is incredibly positive. When COVID hit, he helped us stay calm and was able to adjust as needed to ensure our big day went off without a hitch! Our families loved him and everyone was thrilled with the ceremony! Thank you Pastor Rich for playing such an important part in our big day! Tesi H. 5.0. 10/04/2020

Pastor Rich really knows how to make your ceremony meaningful and memorable. He incorporated details into our ceremony in the planning and day of that make our ceremony so special to look back on. He really took the time to get to know my husband and I, and shared details of our story in a beautiful way. He also found ways to incorporate my two step sons into our ceremony that made our wedding day extra special. Thank you for everything, Pastor Rich! Kassie M. Crown Point IN 10.4.22
After an extensive officiant search, we decided to move forward with Pastor Rich and we are SO happy that we did. My husband and I are not very religious but did grow up in the church so we wanted more of a spiritual ceremony. As an ordained minister of the Methodist Church, Pastor Rich knew all the traditional aspects of a Christian wedding and invited us to leverage as much or as little of them as possible. The other important aspect that he brought to the table was that he was able to do the ceremony in English and Spanish. While most of our guests were bilingual, we wanted to make sure the most important parts of the wedding (vows and ring exchange) were in Spanish and he was able to not only make it happen but he gave my Spanish-speaking grandma a shout out from the front and thanked her for being there. Loved it. I must admit that not having a full script from him did make me a tad nervous but Pastor Rich DELIVERED on the day of the ceremony. All the prep he took us through–the questionnaire, the calls–led to him sharing a funny, thoughtful, and hopeful message. Our guests went out of the way to say that he did a great job and they could not believe how much he knew about us and our story. Overall, Pastor Rich is there for YOU. He is super flexible, willing to give ideas, calm your nerves and make sure that your day is what you want it to be. His soothing voice and humble presence led us through the most important part of the day and set the tone for what was and is to come. Highly recommend him! NV R. Schaumburg, IL 12.7.22
Thanks to him our ceremony was special, romantic and funny. Exactly as I asked. It was perfect! With my husband being from India, and me being from Venezuela, we wanted a pastor who could get us married in English as well as Spanish simultaneously.

He understood our love story and was able to beautifully include that into our ceremony which left our friends and families emotionally overjoyed, as Pastor Rich seamlessly overcame the language barrier for our guests. We highly recommend him!! Andrea M. San Francisco 11.9.20
My husband and I had the privilege to have Pastor Rich as our wedding officiant. Our wedding was July 12 2019, a very HOT HOT HOT day and our ceremony was outdoors but besides that Pastor Rich made the best out of it! From the moment we first met him he was super lovely and made us feel like we’ve been knowing him for years! I love that our ceremony was in both English and Spanish! He was just the best and I’m so happy we chose him. Stephany L Chicago 10.27.19
Pastor Rich was amazing. Not only was he affordable but absolutely perfect. He had a sense of humor. He really cared about us and what we wanted. I would recommend him to anyone. Rachelle O Pardeeville Wi 2018
Pastor Rich is great! He officiated our wedding in August of 2018. We are an interfaith couple so I was a little anxious in trying to find someone who would be understanding and who we both felt comfortable with. On the first phone conversation with Pastor Rich I felt comfortable right away. He is so kind and understanding and has such a calming demeanor. He made me feel comfortable and reassured me that we will work together to make it a special ceremony. He was very responsive and patient with my procrastination 🙂 We did a rehearsal and he walked us threw everything so we didn’t have to worry about figuring out all the details. He put together a beautiful ceremony for us and made it so meaningful and personal. He shared some personal stories that so many people can relate to no matter what your religion and we had so many people come up to us after and comment on how much they loved what he said. People are still bringing it up when they see us 🙂 We highly recommend Pastor Rich. Angela A. Chicago 9.7.18
Pastor Rich is amazing. He met with us before our big day and had great communication leading up to our rehearsal and wedding in WI in July of 2018. He’s one of those people that you feel like you’ve known for years from the moment you meet him. All of our family and friends commented about the beautiful ceremony. I can never thank him enough. Michele K. Muskego, WI reviewed 2018
Pastor Rich was great and very helpful from the very beginning. He was responsive to all communications. He performed an incredible and religious bilingual ceremony in both Spanish and English. We went over our initial ceremony plan line by line and with Pastor Rich’s expertise we had our perfect wedding. Brittany B. Morton Grove 2018
Austin and I are so lucky to have found Pastor Rich to officiate our wedding. From our first meeting at a coffee shop, he made us feel comfortable and he really got to know us. Pastor Rich was very open to working with us and our Hindu Priest to make our fusion wedding perfect. He walked us through every step at the rehearsal and made our ceremony very personal. We had many friends and family members come up to us and tell us that they loved what he said. We highly recommend him! Deblina D. San Francisco reviewed 2018
Pastor Rich couldn’t have been a more perfect fit for our wedding day! He took the time to really understand our story. I had guests who though we had known our pastor since we met!

Pastor Rich was simply the best. He made my son and daughter in law’s special day so memorable. He is a true professional with a heart that exudes warmth into everything he does and says. So happy we found him. Roberta H Chicago 2018
Pastor Rich was the perfect choice for our special day! He made the ceremony incredibly personal and we couldn’t have asked for anything better! We received compliments from everyone on how amazing the ceremony was! Karlie L San Francisco 2018
Pastor Rich officiated our wedding this past August in Chicago, and it was great to have a Pastor that is able to offer a service in Spanish, also, as my in-laws are from Spain and don’t speak English. Everyone commented to us afterwards about the warmth and down to earth quality that pastor Rich possessed, something I really wanted for our more relaxed wedding! He was also very attentive and caring, always probing us for different ways to make our wedding better. Thanks Pastor Rich! Joshua H. Glencoe, IL 2018
We just got married and Rich was amazing. Such a caring guy and personal ceremony. Everyone thought he had known us for years but we’d only met him once in person and once over Skype. Knows what he needs to do and ask to get the right info for what was a beautiful and perfect length speech/sermon in our fairly short wedding ceremony. I’m not religious but my wife is and he blended this perfectly. Really made it so special for us. Thanks Rich William M. Lake View East – Chicago 2018
First, it is clear that Pastor Rich is experienced in officiating over a wedding and he’s also extremely friendly and entertaining person! We had a few challenges in putting together our marriage ceremony. It was done in a bit of a rush with many details to organize. We found Pastor Rich by referral from our venue and arranged to meet with him to discuss our personal history and some simple planning details. Then a few weeks later, without a rehearsal, we all showed up and got married. Pastor Rich ran the whole thing. He patiently worked with all of our last minute hurdles and made everyone very comfortable. He described our personal details as if he’d known us for many years and provided meaningful perspective on building a lasting relationship.
Long story short – the ceremony went great and we feel indebted to Pastor Rich for proving a wonderful experience for all. Ronald U. Woodridge, IL 3.5.18
Pastor Rich made my Wedding Ceremony unique and personal. I’ve always wanted to get married outside but was worried about my Ceremony not being religious enough. But with the help of Pastor Rich he still made it a special and religious ceremony. He also spoke in Italian and Spanish for us besides English. We were very happy with his service. If you are looking for personalization and creativity contact Pastor Rich Carmela M. Streamwood, IL 11.5.17Pastor Rich officiated my wedding on August 5, 2017 in Milwaukee. He was amazing to work with and even though we only met once before our wedding day, he was able to make the ceremony feel so personal. My husband and I are not very religious and Pastor Rich was so flexible and understanding of our wishes. We had so many compliments from our guests that our ceremony was the best they had ever seen! I would highly recommend working with him. Amanda S. Oconomowoc, WI 11.18.17
Pastor Rich truly makes your wedding experience unique. He takes the time to get to know you, your families, and friends and makes sure to incorporate that into the ceremony. Pastor Rich is such a kind, genuine and faith filled human being. If you are looking to solidify your wedding ceremony with a great officiant, he is the one. Steven S. Roselle, IL 11.5.17
Pastor Rich did a remarkable job on our ceremony. Our families still talk about how great Pastor Rich was and our wedding was in June! He was very personable, great sense of humor, and was extremely genuine. He put both our minds at ease and created a perfect ceremony that suited our personality and style. Ultimate professional and friend, we were very grateful we chose Pastor Rich. We highly recommend him for your special day, you will be happy you did. Z.S. Des Plaines, IL 2017

Pastor Rich is a wonderful officiant. He took the time to understand our story and share it during our wedding. Pastor Rich is also very easy to talk to and quick to communicate back with any questions that we had. He also customized our wedding and spoke both English and Spanish for our families. As well, he included cultural traditions in our wedding and explained them to our guests. Our families and guests all asked about him and raved that he made our ceremony so wonderful! We appreciated all he did for us and loved what he did to make our day so special! Carly M Bartlett, Il 10.31.17

I didn’t grow up dreaming of weddings but I’m confident that I had my dream wedding this year. Pastor Rich gave a toughing sermon that was thoughtful and personal for my husband and I’s relationship. He also brought together pieces of both our religions, Catholic and Jewish, to help unite our two families and traditions. Even without a wedding planner, just a fantastic friend standing-in as our day-of-coordinator, Pastor Rich Rubietta lead the wedding party and the day confidently and smoothly. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Our day was perfect for us and we have a lot to celebrate for many more years. Ashlee G. Cook County 2017
With Pastor Rich our wedding was amazing! Pastor Rich is a very responsible person with a great sense of humor. Our wedding took place without any stress. Beautiful speech and gentle disposition helped me have a dream wedding! Monika C. Czarna Gora, Poland 2017
Pastor Rich officiated our wedding back in August and we couldn’t have been happier! Everything went very smoothly, and many people at the wedding had complimented us on how nice of a ceremony it was. We are very thankful to Pastor Rich and definitely recommend him as a wedding officiant! Brett W. Carol Stream, Il 2017
I truly could not put into words how amazing and special it was to have Pastor Rich as such an important part of our wedding ceremony. Not only was he kind, genuine, and passionate about what he does – he truly made us feel so calm and at ease, and we had no doubt that he was the right officiant we did not have to visit with any others after meeting him the first time. He is AMAZING at officiating. Our entire wedding ceremony was crying, laughing (literally, cracking up), and truly feeling every word he said. I had people coming up to us (even to this day), saying what a great officiant he was, how perfect his message was, and how amazing the entire ceremony was thanks to him. It’s really hard to find someone who encompasses all of the above (I myself am in the wedding industry and trust me, I know the best when I find them!). DO NOT HESITATE to choose Pastor Rich as your wedding officiant – you won’t be disappointed. 🙂 Brooke A. Evans, GA 2017
Pastor Rich was great to work with! We met a few months before the wedding to get to know each other and he had great suggestions for the ceremony to help us get organized. Pastor Rich helped us through the rehearsal and ceremony all while going the extra mile by incorporating part of the ceremony in Spanish. Many people asked us where we found Pastor Rich as he was amazing!!! i would recommend him to everyone! Irivin P. Roselle, IL 10.12.16
Pastor Rich performed an outstanding romantic wedding ceremony and caused many smiles with his humor and positivity. We gave him very little notice about our wedding date, vows and wedding ceremony details and order. Not to mention that we were late to start the ceremony and it was us who caused the delay. But Pastor Rich was just so calm, patient and encouraged us not to worry. He treated us like his own family, even after 30 or more minutes of delay. In all rush from our home to hotel Baker St. Charles IL, where our wedding was, we forgot our marriage license. Thankfully Pastor Rich was there to calm us and solve the problem. He was above kind and professional. Again we were lucky to get recommendation from our family friends and we are glad we chose Pastor Rich. We will definitely recommend him. Pastor Rich is a very good Pastor: understanding, professional. Humor, sense of calmness and experience definitely shows! Our experience was amazing and we will remember our wedding ceremony as the one of the most beautiful days in our lives, thanks to Pastor Rich!!
Love and blessings! David and Aleksandra S. Yorkville, IL 8.28.16
Pastor Rich completely exceeded our expectations. My husband and I wanted a non-religious, fun, personal ceremony and we truly couldn’t have found a better man for the job. He was very easy to communicate with and always quick to respond, remembered my husband and I’s story to a T as well as other details about the two of us for our ceremony, and made us feel like family all along the way. We received compliments regarding the ceremony and the “flow” all throughout night and many people were surprised to hear that Pastor Rich wasn’t someone that we had known for ages – although it felt like we had by the end of it all! Our wedding was a thousand times more incredible than we could have ever imagined and we couldn’t have done it without Pastor Rich. Alyxandra W. Chicago 6.18.16
We couldn’t have been any more happier and honored to have Pastor Rich marry us! He is hands down the best!!! He took the genuinely interested in getting to know my Husband and I! During our ceremony he was able to verbalize how we felt about each other in a very sweet, heart fulling way!!! He is such a nice kind hearted man!!! We fall in love with Pastor Rich!!!

Pastor Rich Made Our Ceremony Perfect!!
Pastor Rich was wonderful. He was extremely responsive and helpful from day one. I was nervous because my husband and I were extremely unsure of how we wanted the ceremony to go, at the rehearsal Pastor Rich comforted us and walked through everything so that we could add/change anything we wanted. We were also unsure of how intimate it would be since we did not know Pastor Rich, however he asked a lot of questions and really got to know my husband and I, at the rehearsal he came up with the perfect personal touches that fit us and our bridal party to a tee. On the wedding day everything was absolutely perfect, thanks to him. All of our guests/wedding party LOVED him and said how great our ceremony was. Reviewed On 11/17/2014 Kelsey J

Great Experience
I’m so thankful that my husband and I found Pastor Rich to marry us. Before our wedding we had a little meeting with the pastor so that he could get to know us and so we could make sure that he was someone that would reflect our style and tell our story in a way that was “us”. Instantly we felt so comfortable with him. This meeting was really enjoyable because it allowed us to really reflect on us as individuals and as a couple. Pastor Rich kept in touch with us quite a bit just making sure our planning was going good, and making sure all our questions were answered. The day of the wedding out ceremony had to start 1 hour late because some of our VIP’s got a little lost on the way. I understand that wedding officiants have a very busy schedule during wedding season and he kept me calm and reassured me that everything was fine. I was very thankful for his patience that day. I would highly recommend him! Reviewed On 11/16/2014 Danielle S

Pastor Rich performed a wonderful ceremony. He aided and coached my husband and I prior to the ceremony, which I appreciated dearly. I did not know what to expect but he was great. To be honest, we were slacking a bit on finding a pastor to marry us, but I am happy that my husband found Pastor Rich. He worked with our busy schedule and was very patient with us. And even though we didn’t talk much prior to our wedding he talked about us and told our story as if we were all long time friends. My husband and I enjoyed our ceremony so much that we even talked about getting Pastor Rich to perform our ceremony 10 years from now when we renew our vows. I am happy to have had Pastor Rich marry us. Reviewed On 10/30/2014

Amazing Officiant
My husband and I had our wedding officiated by Pastor Rich this past August and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our decision. Upon our first premarital visit with Pastor Rich, he asked us questions about how we met, how we grew up, what qualities we like and dislike about each other to get a feel for us as a couple. We talked about ourselves and individuals and as a couple. He, in turn, told us about himself. We thought that was very important as Pastor Rich incorporated what he learned about us into our wedding ceremony and getting to know him made us feel comfortable in choosing him as our officiant. Pastor Rich was very easily accessible and very kind, making us feel like we have known him for many years. He listened to and incorporated our ideas into the ceremony and preformed it flawlessly. I must say we were both touched with the words he spoke about us in front of our family and friends. We would definitely recommend Pastor Rich to any and all who are seeking a stress-free and beautiful wedding ceremony experience.

Amazing Experience
We used Pastor Rich to perform our wedding ceremony on October 18th. I can’t say enough good things. We met prior to the ceremony and we all sat down together and visited which was a great experience. Pastor Rich really tried to get to know my husband and I and how we were brought together as a couple, and also really got to know us individually. My husband and I did pay the higher priced option to also be able to have him at our rehearsal. I felt it was worth the extra money. It gave such peace of mind after rehearsing with him and our bridal party and family. Our experience was amazing! We really made a great connection with Pastor Rich and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to perform their wedding ceremony! Reviewed On 10/30/2014 Lauren B
An Absolutely Fantastic Officiant!!
We had the honor of having Pastor Rich be the officiant at our wedding this October. We couldn’t have chosen anyone better! I was pretty skeptical at first of finding an officiant online, it seemed so impersonal and kind of cold. However my apprehension completely disappeared when we first met Rich over coffee. Pastor Rich is an incredibly warm, kind-hearted, and open individual who is also a very experienced and knowledgeable wedding officiant. Pastor Rich made sure every step along the way was about us and what we wanted our wedding to be. He executed all the details of our ceremony just as we’d imagined and was a significant calming presence to our entire wedding party, especially the to the groom. Again, it couldn’t have been better. Thank you, Rich, for everything. Reviewed On 10/29/2014 Sarah R
Great Officiant!!!!!
Pastor Rich was everything we were looking for in an officiant. He is a very good listener, very perceptive and very personable. He was also very amenable to what we wanted our ceremony to be. In our first meeting with him he asked a lot of questions and got a very good idea of who we were as a couple and it really showed during our ceremony. He was funny and charming and everyone enjoyed what he had to say, but at the same time
he didn’t steal the show and he kept it about us. He was everything we had wanted in our wedding officiant and we got lots of positive feedback about him from people who attended. I would definitely recommend him to a friend. Reviewed On 10/27/2014 Jamie A

We were extremely happy with his services! From the time we first met all the way to the day of the wedding he went above and beyond for us especially taking into account the very little instruction we gave him on the ceremony. We felt like he truly cared for us and was not just performing another “gig”. Many of our friends and family commented on how well he handled our wedding and asked if we were friends for a long time because it seemed so. He was very helpful in guiding us in the process and very knowledgeable and open to sharing ideas. He was open to our desires and specific requests. Thank you!! Reviewed On 10/25/2014 Sultan O

Pastor Rich will make your wedding ceremony the highlight of your day!
My wife and I poured over reviews for a pastor for our wedding. Her and I both agreed that we did not want to do a church wedding, and being from different faiths we wanted to find a pastor that would not only respect our decision, but incorporate both Catholic and Lutheran aspects to our wedding ceremony without being overly “churchy”. We found this in Pastor Rich Rubietta. Initially we met with Pastor Rich and immediately fell in love with his calm demeanor, attention to detail when it came to what we expected from a pastor, as well as his genuine interest in us as a couple. He asked several questions to get to know us individually, as well as a couple. While I thought this was simply a nice gesture, he surprised both of us by incorporating some small yet intricate details of our lives into the ceremony he officiated. Pastor Rich, while he stays busy makes every effort to accommodate a busy wedding schedule, he was tolerant to our somewhat rambunctious wedding party during our rehearsal, and made every effort to make sure when we were done rehearsing we were confidant for our big day. We were. On the day of he was on time, even early which allowed for some pictures with him. He coordinated with the dj, venue, and wedding party making everything seamless for both my wife and I which was great of him! The ceremony he performed was very heartfelt, included aspects from both our lives, both our religions, and he kept it light yet meaningful as well as adding some genuine humor to keep everyone awake and interested. In closing, Sarah and I want to thank you Pastor Rich for making us comfortable on our big day, also for taking the time to genuinely bring two people together as one. Your eloquent words and concern for us as a couple made this a very easy review to write. Thank you for everything you did! We truly met a stranger and made a great friend in the process of our wedding! Wishing you and everyone reading this review all the best in everything you do!

Great Ceremony!
We had the pleasure of meeting Pastor Rich in June of 2013, He did my sister’s wedding at the Brookfield Zoo and we absolutely loved him. When I proposed to my wife and we began planning for our big day there wasn’t a doubt in our mind that we would hire Pastor Rich for our ceremony. His personalization, attention to detail, and true care to get to know us was really impressive. Being that neither of us have had a life long relationship with him his words at the ceremony meant so much. You would’ve sworn he has known us for years. Anyway, for anyone looking to plan their ceremony Pastor Rich is great, probably the best! I would give him 10 stars out of 5! He did a great job! Reviewed On 10/20/2014 Jim B

On the day of our wedding he kept me calm and cool and delivered a funny yet touching ceremony, he focused on who we were as a couple and delivered some wonderful words of advice.

My husband and I chose Pastor Rich to officiate our outdoor wedding. He met with us right away and really listened and understand just what we wanted in our ceremony. He was very accommodating and caring about our unique situations and wants. During the rehearsal, Pastor Rich was fun and energetic just like my family and bridal party! He got down to the details quickly and efficiently. I didn’t think it was possible, but on our wedding day, Pastor Rich was so flexible and even more understanding and caring. We started a half hour late and he didn’t let that bother him or make him rush through our ceremony. He took his time and made it so special to us. I still to this day get compliments about what a great job Pastor Rich did and how he must have known us for years to speak at our ceremony in the personal and intimate way he did.
