Pastor Rich

Pastor Rich was the officiant for our wedding last September, and I could not have been happier with our choice! He worked hard to get to know us before the wedding, and his ceremony was very personal and touched on all the things we wanted (and needed) to hear. Pastor Rich was very flexible, and worked with us to plan a ceremony that was exactly how we wanted it. He certainly went the extra mile during the ceremony itself-- many of our friends and family members are from Puerto Rico, and Pastor Rich translated/repeated several parts of the ceremony in Spanish. My wife and I actually hadn't thought to ask him to do that, and it was a very nice touch. Pastor Rich was genuinely interested in helping us start out our married life on the right foot, and our ceremony was everything I could have hoped for!

Pastor Rich was the perfect pastor for our wedding. Neither of us are very religious, but do have our own spiritual beliefs. Pastor Rich helped make our ceremony just what we wanted. He was very flexible on working with us and gave a great message to us and the guests at our wedding. He is a very genuine and charasmatic person, and our guests felt the ceremony was very heartfelt. We couldn't have been happeir with him. We would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding, religious or not.

Pastor Rich was wonderful as officiant at our wedding. He took the time to get to know us over the course of our engagement and made our ceremony extremely personal. I highly recommend him if you are looking for an officiant for your wedding!

Pastor Richard Rubietta performed my wedding ceremony, and I could not have asked for a more professional, caring, loving, and faithful Pastor. He cared for my wedding and made me feel loved not only by God but also by my husband. He paid attention to both of us. I recommend Pastor Rich to any bride that is looking for a Pastor. God sure showed Pastor Richard that his call is to listen and guide future couples through their wedding process.

We could not have been happier with the job Pastor Rich did at our wedding. Many of our family and friends commented on what a great choice Pastor Rich was to join Jessica and me in marriage. In our initial meeting Pastor Rich put Jess and me at ease and showed a genuine desire to get to know us as a couple and individuals. Throughout the rehearsal and ceremony he was professional and courteous. He responded immediately to phone calls and e-mails, and accommodated a last-minute time-change for the rehearsal without question. Having Pastor Rich officiating our wedding helped Jess and me relax and enjoy our special day. Dustin and Jessica White

Pastor Rich did an Amazing job as our Pastor for our November 2010 wedding! We chose him because he is a very down to earth, friendly, and just an honest person. We feel that he did a phenomenal job at my sisters wedding during their ceremony back in Aug 2009. Pastor Rich took time to meet us both for an hour or so before the wedding and asked how we meet, and he incorporated some of these personal details in our ceremony. We will never forget what a great job he did and how clear and confident his words were during our wedding ceremony! Thank you, we will keep in touch! Natalie & Chris Evangelides

Pastor Rich Rubietta really made our wedding day special. From the start, he made it convenient to work with him and he really met all of our needs as an interfaith marriage officiant. We met him at our local starbucks and we hit it off right away. He was genuine in getting to know us and always kept in touch and quickly responded up until our wedding day if we had any questions. We also had a rabbi and he really meshed well. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to officiate their wedding.

Pastor Rich performed an amazing ceremony. From the first time we met him, we knew he was the officiant for us! Not only are his services extremely reasonable, but more importantly, he made our ceremony very personal. Several of my guests commented on how much they enjoyed our service. He was always very quick with responding to my questions and ideas whether it was through email or phone. Thanks so much again Pastor Rich!

Rich is wonderful! What I found best about working with Rich is that he is extremely charismatic and really wants the day to be about the couple. He met with my husband and I early on in the process and this meeting really served multiple purposes. Rich was able to personalize the ceremony with the information that he got and my husband and I were able to identify strengths and weaknesses with us individually and as a couple. It got us talking about what we wanted from the marriage and wedding without having to go through lengthy premarital classes. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and everyone loved it. That wouldn't have been possible without Rich's participation.

Pastor Rich was a delight to work with. He took the time to talk to us and really listened as we told our story. Rich has a good sense of humor and made us feel as though we could just be ourselves. Many of our guests commented on Pastor Rich and how wonderful the ceremony was. We feel very blessed to have had pastor Rich as our officiant and recommend his services. We also plan to keep Pastor Rich in our circle as we continue on our journey.

Pastor Rich was very knowledgeable and and helpful in planning our service. We were very glad to have him there.

"Rich Rubietta was an absolute wonder to have as our minister, on our wedding day. He is friendly, calm and non judgmental. You can tell he is listening from his heart, when you are speaking to him. He made our wedding ceremony run smoothly, with lots of laughs. We had so many guests come up to us and ask where we met him etc. He has a glowing light, that just makes you feel you have known him for years. He was a true gift from God." Bride LouAnne Stockdale

At first we were going to have my husbands uncle to marry us, but when that fell through, we didnt have much time to find someone. We came across Pastor Rich and he was a god send. He was able to work with us on such a short schedule. He made our ceremony personalized and special. I dont think our wedding would have been very memorable if it were not for Pastor Rich. He took time to really get to know who we were and he incorporated that into our ceremony. It was truly special.

Eight months after our wedding, we are still getting comments about how beautiful the ceremony was -- thanks to Pastor Rich. He took the time to get to know us, and to understand what kind of ceremony we wanted. Then Pastor Rich added his own personal touch. The result was amazing. Although we only met Pastor Rich through the internet, our guests thought he had known us for many years!

"Pastor Rich performed our wedding with such elegance, grace and patience. He was extremely supportive and responsive on the day of our wedding as well as throughout the entire wedding planning process. With all the stressful events that lead up to up that special moment, he was there to remind us of what is truly important, Love, Friendship, Communication, and Partnership. Thanks Pastor Rich for making our day everything we dreamed about and more!" The Stupecs

Would highly recommend!! He made our day very special. He was prepared, professional, and polished at all times. He took the time to get to know us before the wedding which was important for my husband and I-we wanted to feel like we had a connection with the Pastor that married us. He guided us throughout the process and supported us spiritually. He was an important part of our perfect day!

Pastor Rich was wonderful. He really came through for us in a pinch. We had coordinated with another person almost a year prior to our wedding date. This other pastor came highly recommended by a friend, but did not do wedding officiating very often. Therefore she did not have a contract for us to sign. She assured us that her word was as good as gold. Sure enough, a week before the wedding she backed out on us and put us in a pinch. Enter Pastor Rich. He met with us, got to know us, and was very experienced in providing officiating services at our venue. He came on time, was prepared, was very professional, and was a pleasure to work with. We did not want a cookie-cutter wedding service, which is why we chose to have it outdoors on a beach. Pastor Rich was non-judgemental and embraced us as a couple. We have several family members that are extreme right-wing religous people, and we are not. Pastor Rich was careful to adhere to our wishes for the service, yet he was able to tastefully balance the fine line of appealing to our family members as well. We do not hesitate to recommend his services to other couples. Thanks, again Pastor Rich! Mike and Jenny Chicago, IL Wedding date: June 4, 2011

Pastor Rich was very nice to work with and provided a great ceremony. We found him to be quite easy to talk to regarding ourselves and the ceremony we wanted to have. He gave a very nice homily incorporating what was meaningful and important to us. We would recommend him as an officiant any time!

My husband and I couldn’t have been happier having Pastor Rich marry us. From the first time we met him, he made us feel comfortable and truly took the time to get to know us and learn about our relationship. He was helpful with planning our ceremony and allowed us to customize it fit our needs. Some members of our families were not excited that we were having an outdoor ceremony instead of at a church. Many of our guests commented that it was a beautiful ceremony and our grandmothers were pleased that it had just the right amount of religion of a traditional ceremony. Pastor Rich is experienced and professional and it is evident that he enjoys what he does!
