Perfect experience
I found Rachel on the Knot, and I am very happy that I came across her profile because my ceremony was perfect! She has a very calming and soothing presence especially during a very stressful time (wedding planning) and of course a hectic day. I highly recommend Rachel!

Rachel was truly incredible for our wedding day, and we could not have asked for a better officiant. She was very quick to respond when we first got into contact and patient with us as we worked through various copies of our script. On the day of the wedding, she brought a calm, peaceful energy to the occasion which gave my wife and I the confidence to settle back and enjoy our special day. I would highly recommend anyone to Rachel!

There truly are not enough words to describe how amazing Rachel is. From our very first meeting, she made us feel so comfortable and took the time to genuinely get to know us. She listened to our story and created the most beautiful ceremony that was completely personalized to us. Every word was written from scratch, and you could tell it came straight from the heart. She told the story of how we met and why we were standing there that day in such a sweet, heartfelt, and humorous way. Our guests laughed, cried, and told us afterward how much they loved the ceremony. It was one of the most memorable parts of our wedding. I’m originally from Georgia, and Rachel went above and beyond by learning how to welcome our guests in Georgian. Throughout the planning process, Rachel met with us multiple times, answered our questions, offered guidance, and made everything feel easy. She genuinely cares about her couples and wants their ceremony to be as special and meaningful as possible. If you’re looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony feel personal, joyful, emotional, and unforgettable, Rachel is the one. She is kind, incredibly talented, and such a wonderful person. And I have to mention - she has the best style, too! We couldn’t have imagined anyone better to marry us.
Custom Weddings by Rachel•Jul 2, 2026Lika, you and Colin are a special couple, with both of you bringing out the absolute best in one another. It was an honor to work with you and I had so much fun interacting with your guests at the wedding— what a fun crowd! Wishing you both all the happiness in the world! Thank you, again. ❤️
