Officiants

So we are getting married at the RH and need an officiant to marry us, we meet with one, hes not on here, but we thought we liked him but now we are having second thoughts about it. Can anyone recommend an Officiant? We both think we want to go with a male one (i really don't know why) so if anyone can recommend some it would be really helpful. TIA

i believe the officiant i was speaking to was from the Church of Ancient Ways
don't let the name fool you, they are great.
we decided to get married in a church but if we hadnt they are who we would have gone with.
hope that helps

also... your RH might have a list of people they work with. If you don't like any of them, those poeple could probobly help you find someone else.
From what i've seen, officiants tend to help you find someone who works well with you and arent all that competitive. it's more about getting you the right service.

There are lots of great reviews about Pastor April from the Church of Ancient Ways. Looks like she really personalizes your entire ceremony and makes it special. I am definintely going to look into her!

We actually meet with the one that the RH recommends and thats the person we thought we liked but now we're not sure..also charges $650 it think thats a little expensive..does anyone know what the normal price should be?

I know but FH wants a male, I'm not really sure why but thats what he wants so I guess I have to give him something. I actually talked to her at a show and she was really nice but I think she said she had my date booked anyway. Maybe I'll email her anyway maybe I can get FH to change his mind!!
