Love Notes

The kind words and heartfelt feedback from my couples mean more to me than I can express. It is truly an honor to be trusted with such an important day, and every review inspires me to continue giving my very best to each and every couple I have the privilege of working with.

  • Randy was such a pleasure to work with! He was friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable through our nerves. The first time I ever spoke to Randy I knew he would be our perfect officiant. I could just hear the kindness in his voice and knew he loved his job and helping people. He was very open to any suggestions and very easy to work with. Thank you, Randy, for finding the perfect words to write for our ceremony and for being a part of our special day!

  • Randy was wonderful. There were really four parts to his service, and he excelled at them all: 1) Finding the right feel — Randy got to know us, asking questions about our backgrounds, our life together, and our thoughts on how we wanted to feel during our wedding ceremony. He was friendly, politely probing, experienced in various ‘types’ of weddings, and adept at determining what we were hoping to achieve. 2) Writing the script — He put together a succinct, easy to understand script which nailed the “Spiritual-but-not-Religious” feel we were hoping to create. He was prompt and open when I gave feedback, and after three drafts we had built the perfect ceremony for Us. Randy has the knowledge, experience, and creative skill needed to create something beautiful which matches your desire. 3) Wedding Weekend performance — With the help of professional vendors and our coordinator, we executed a sound plan. Randy guided us through a rehearsal on the night before. On the wedding day, he was early, having already (behind the scenes) coordinated with the DJ for his inconspicuous microphone. He was very neatly and stylishly dressed, and was comforting in the minutes ahead of my wedding. When we got to the ‘altar’ he was confident and reassuring, and his voice was very pleasant throughout the ceremony. Through small glitches in the music and mis-steps by the wedding party he kept a natural and easy mood in the room. Despite his strong performance he never ‘up-staged’ anyone in the wedding. ​4) Administrative — Randy promptly collected signatures on the wedding license and sent those documents to the Register of Deeds via priority mail on the day after the wedding, sending us the tracking number so we could conveniently track their arrival. It was very easy to pay him online. His fees definitely match the value of his service.

  • Randy was professional, pleasant, and so enjoyable to work with! I am so glad he was a part of our wedding day! He helped us create the perfect ceremony and he delivered it with his heart. We are so thankful we found him.

  • Everything went great with Saturday’s wedding, even with all the rain and little delay! Rev. Taylor, you were very helpful at the rehearsal, and so kind. At the wedding, you made no mistakes, you spoke very clearly to be heard, and the guests loved you. You worked so well with the couple to help customize everything and you gave great advice and answers to their questions. I am very  impressed with your services, and we highly recommend you!

  • Randy officiated our wedding in August, and we loved working with him! He helped us to design a ceremony that was both beautiful and meaningful to us. He was always very quick to respond to emails during the planning process, and was prompt and professional on the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

  • 3 weeks before the wedding and the previous wedding officiant dropped us with no warning and I was in a serious panic. I got on line and searched for wedding officiants who were LGBT friendly and started emailing as many as I could. By morning, I had many tell me they were already booked and only 2 possible replies. Randy Taylor was one of them. His sympathy and compassion in our predicament felt genuine and with only 3 weeks, I had to go with my gut feeling. We made arrangements to talk on the phone and his assurances and willingness to take care of us put my fears at ease. Even though he had 2 other weddings later in the day, he made room for our 9am wedding. We communicated mainly through email. He was always quick to respond. He emailed us all the information we needed and based on our desires, he wrote the perfect ceremony. We didn’t feel the need to change one word! The wedding day came and his part in the wedding was above superior! I can’t think of anything I would have had him change or improve. It was perfect! I would recommend Randy to anyone getting married – including my other, unmarried at this time, children!!

  • Randy did an amazing job officiating our wedding! He was very easy to work with and helped made out wedding one of a kind.

    David

  • I am so happy we found Randy. Neither my husband nor I are religious and we wanted to keep our ceremony as secular as possible. We didn’t really want to use traditional vows, but we also didn’t want to write our own vows. Given those criteria, Randy came back with a beautiful ceremony. There were a couple of things I asked to adjust, such as refer to it as our union (as opposed to marriage) and don’t announce me as “Mrs. Husband’s Name.” He fixed them right away, and it was perfect. Even my religious in-laws were moved to tears and gushed over how sweet and special our vows were. In fact, we had many, many guests comment on Randy and how impressed they were with the ceremony and his performance, specifically. I would not have changed a thing about working with Randy and I cannot express enough that you should work with him too!

  • My husband and I planned a firefighter wedding at a fire station in a week! I must say we couldn’t have done it without Randy! He was able to meet with us the same day I put in a request for a wedding officiant; he designed our ceremony as if he had known us for months. The ceremony was very personal, and did not seem thrown together at all, which was a concern I had while planning in such a short amount of time. He was early to all of our meetings and the ceremony. He is a very kind, and flexible gentleman, and we will have him again at our big wedding! I couldn’t imagine anyone else officiating our wedding. Thank you again Randy!

    Ka’Isha

  • Randy officiated our wedding a week ago. Over the course of several months, Randy helped with our wedding vows and ceremony. He stayed in contact and was very professional and supportive. He kept our rehearsal orderly, and offered lots of useful advice that helped to make the wedding perfect. Absolutely perfect! We could not have chosen a better person to officiate our wedding.

    Angela

  • I could not recommend a better Officiant for your wedding! Not only was he professional, but he was kind and so very helpful. A true man of God and such a pleasure to be around. He helped make my wedding day perfect!

    Shawna

  • Randy was wonderful! He is very genuine and easy to talk to. He was very organized and made it so easy for us planning our ceremony. We would definitely recommend him!

    Hilary & Robert

  • I called Randy Taylor the day before my wedding. I did not think that he could fit me in his busy schedule. It turned out that he gave me a few options. Wow! I was surprised and thankful. The ceremony was wonderful! 100% class act.

    Thomas

  • Randy was great. He was reasonably priced and flexible. He did great with what we wanted to do for our ceremony.

    Anonymous

  • Randy was nothing short of amazing. He was so well prepared leading up to the wedding day and was extremely professional and flexible on the day of the wedding. We planned our wedding on short notice and Randy was responsive to our needs and situation. We would highly recommend Randy – he is fantastic!

    John

  • I can’t brag on Randy enough. My wedding was planned in a hurry. On top of the wedding, I was also busy packing for a move about 1,000 miles away. Randy was SO WONDERFUL. He was easy to work with and went out of his way to keep me in the loop with what was going on with his responsibilities for the wedding. He was always so helpful and asked on several occasions if there was anything he could do to help with wedding stuff ect. At the wedding, his delivery of the wedding talk was fluent and very well written. My family (who is very religious) enjoyed it and most importantly, my husband and I were very pleased. I highly recommend.

    Andrea

  • Randy was amazing! He worked closely with us to put together a ceremony truly tailored to our personalities and relationship. It was so well written and terrifically executed. Randy was so helpful at the rehearsal and really helped to ease my anxiety in a stressful, chaotic time. The ceremony was magical, everyone was just breathless at how beautiful it was! I cannot recommend Randy enough.

    Anelie

  • Randy was so wonderful to work with! I left most of the details to him and he made our ceremony wonderful, even when I made changes at the last moment. There was no rehearsal and no one even noticed because of how calm and terrific Randy was. I had several people ask if we had written the vows since they were so perfect for us (we didn’t write them, Randy did after speaking with us). I highly highly recommend working with Randy, he is a wonderful person and fantastic officiant!!

    Pam

  • Randy was the perfect choice for my wife and I as our officiant for our wedding this past weekend! He was polite, warm, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, and helped us easily complete one important piece of the wedding planning puzzle. Our ceremony was non-religious and not that traditional, and we wanted to keep things relatively short, as the outdoor North Carolina sun would have probably melted the wedding party and guests if the ceremony was too long, but we didn’t want the ceremony to feel rushed or lack feeling. Randy helped erase any of our fears, as he was adaptive to our requests and desires, and crafted a beautiful ceremony that was full of love and respect, and at all times, my wife and I felt that he genuinely cared about our story and ceremony. He was also great when chatting with my groomsman, father-in-law, and myself while we waited for the bridesmaids and mothers to arrive, and all of our family were incredibly impressed with the grace and poise he exuded while leading the ceremony. Thanks again Randy, and we would definitely recommend Randy Taylor Weddings for anyone looking for the perfect officiant for their ceremony!

    Zack

  • Randy recently officiated at the wedding of my partner and I and I have nothing but glowing reviews for the job he did. The wedding was a small gathering of just 6 people but with Randy’s help, we were able to make it very special and memorable. In preparation for the wedding, Randy worked closely with us to customize the ceremony with readings and rituals we selected. On the day of the wedding, even though we had just met him, Randy made us feel like we were all old friends. The day turned out to be one we will always cherish in large part to Randy.

    Steven

  • I am so glad we had Randy be officiant for our special day! His enthusiasm and passion made creating a ceremony that much easier for us. He was always helpful and responsive. I definitely recommend him!

    Breya

  • How can I say thank you for so many things! If I were to list them all, it would take an eternity. My family and I thank you first of all, for giving my brother such a wonderful ceremony. I thank you for all the back and forth emails about the program and everything else that are not listed in your duty. You are a wonderful person and if for some reason you ever questioned your purpose, I think this is it for you. You are such a wonderful soul and you are now a person that I can refer all my friends to.

    Jeanne

  • It was a pleasure working with Randy to write our wedding ceremony. It was exactly what we wanted. Despite adverse weather conditions Erica made it out to perform our ceremony which was greatly appreciated. Both Randy and Erica’s professionalism was apparent throughout the process. We highly recommend them to other couples.

    James

  • Randy was absolutely perfect! Great to work with, very helpful in all aspects of our wedding and very responsive. He was extremely professional and friendly from our initial meeting, and he was invested in us on a personal level. He made an effort to make sure our ceremony was personalized and exactly what we imagined for our special day. We cannot thank Randy enough – definitely choose him if you are looking for the perfect officiant. Best vendor of our entire wedding!

    Tim

  • Justin was our officiant at our Angus Barn Pavilion wedding and was great! We really enjoyed the ceremony that was written for us, and RTW’s willingness to accommodate during the ceremony writing/review phase. Highly recommend them to other couples.

    Emily

  • Randy and Justin were really helpful with planning the wedding. They were also really approachable with all wedding-related questions, even though I only hired them for their officiant service and that was really helpful for a helpless Australian like me to plan a wedding here in Raleigh.

    Elaine

  • Randy was very responsive and helpful in picking the right officiant for our ceremony. We gave him the guidelines of a script and he tweaked it for us and then Ellen, our officiant, also gave us some good advice (vows were way too many lines!) and helped us edit the vows section. Ellen was very professional and fun to work with–we felt very comfortable with her and everyone told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony.

    Jessica

  • Without a doubt, we would recommend Randy Taylor Weddings to anyone. Randy assisted us with writing the perfect ceremony that fit everything we wanted. He was incredibly helpful and had lots of great ideas to customize a ceremony exactly for us in addition to providing us updated edits of the ceremony on short notice. Justin was the officiant for the ceremony, and we honestly do not have enough kind words to say about the job he did. He did a great job putting us both at ease during our big day and he delivered the ceremony perfectly. Many guests commented on how great the ceremony was. We honestly could not have asked for a better job from him.

    Adam

  • Randy was wonderful to work with! He was very easy going and always open to our suggestions. He made sure the ceremony was exactly the way we wanted it, and had wonderful fun ideas! He is very quick with response via phone and email. He gave us clear instructions on how to get our marriage license, and how to get a certified copy when we got back from our honeymoon. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

    Carla

  • Thank you so much for being with us on our big day. I was thrilled with your service. Thank you very, very much.
