Wedding Officiant Ray Cross

A seasoned and sensitive wedding officiant for your wedding ceremony

Sensational is my goal in wedding officiating. The word ‘Sensational” incorporates essential ingredients of a wonderful wedding – exceptional with feeling (sense). I want your wedding, whether small or large, to have warmth and excitement foundational to memories for lifetime marriage enjoyment together. I grew up in a troubled home, but my experience of marriage with my dear wife of 48 years has been sweet. Give me the opportunity to invest in your marriage. As your wedding Officiant I will give you my absolute best. I especially love the warmth and creativity I can build into weddings with exceptional rehearsals. — Rev. Ray Cross

Your wedding as you like it –
non-religious, religious, cultural, humorous

…

“Ray was exactly what we needed in a marriage officiant. He was helpful, friendly, open minded, professional and even funny. Ray is extremely well organized, more than you could hope for from any wedding vendor. His organization made our day go that much more smoothly. We did a rehearsal (which I highly recommend) and he did a great job controlling our wedding party and staying focused on the task so we didn’t waste any time. Ray has more years of experience officiating than I have been alive and it really shows! Many of our guests complimented his voice and demeanor. The Brides Candy Store that comes with Ray’s officiating is also so helpful for planning. Lots of great information in there. You have the ability to really customize your wedding service which makes your day that much more special. Don’t hesitate to use Ray as your Officiant, he’s worth every penny!”  — Brittany

For this reason U+2 and Sweet and Simple weddings do not include pre-ceremony planning meetings, customizing or access to the ceremony prior to the wedding, as this invites tweaks that push services into Package #1 pricing. Be assured all ceremonies provided for U+2 or Sweet and Simple weddings have always been well received.
