Rev. Russ was awesome! We planned our wedding in 3 weeks and he was totally accommodating! The ceremony that he wrote for us was perfect for us and beautiful. My husband is a total introvert and Rev. Russ made him feel completely comfortable standing at the altar. He's funny, easy going and thorough! I know everyone will be more than happy having him as their officiant! The day was PERFECT! Thank You Rev. Russ! Looking forward to the baptism!

Rev. Russ (aka Rent A Preacher) did an outstanding job on our ceremony. He was very easy to work with and it was wonderful to get to know him in preparation for our ceremony. He took the time to get to know us. During our ceremony (and during the rehearsal) he was perfectly light-hearted in the right places, while serious in other places. He brought just the personality we wanted in our ceremony.

Reverend Dycus was absolutely perfect! His demeanor and his understanding of what we wanted our wedding and ceremony to convey was wonderful. His ability to deliver our sentiments, with his spoken words and feeling, made our ceremony exactly what we had hoped for!!! Even though we choose our readings and vows, he offered a good variety of sources and choices to help us with our decisions. At one point, the words I had chosen for us to repeat to one another were too emotional for me to get out!!! Reverend Russ VERY smoothly took over, changing the wording for me to simply say "Yes", or an appropriate response, to make the words as if I was saying them myself!!! In the middle of the ceremony - he was a true life saver. I would HIGHLY recommend him for use at any sort of a function where an officiant is needed. He was flexible in tailoring the wedding to our style. He also greeted and talked with guests before and after the ceremony, making our families and friends feel quite comfortable. We're so glad that we found Rev. Dycus.

I was pretty disappointed overall. Granted I'm out of state (in Texas) but we talked over Skype. I repeatedly mentioned that my (now) husband's legal name was Jamie, but he only goes by James. In the first mention of us during the ceremony, he was called Jamie and Reverend Russ had to be quietly corrected. When we were announced at the end of the ceremony, he presented 'Mora and James' instead of Moria and James, pronouncing my name incorrectly! I received my Marriage License in the mail and Reverend Russ had written the wrong wedding date (July 27 instead of 28). It had to be crossed out by the County Clerk and correctly typed next to it. For the rest of my life my Marriage License has on the side 'Corrected by the Local Registrar Per Officiant'.

Russ did such a great job with our ceremony. I loved every moment of it, and how personal he made it! Made things light and comfortable at the rehearsal as well. I would recommend him to anyone.

Rev. Russ did a great job with our ceremony. He was open to the customized ceremony we wanted and super hot and humid location (tropical dome at Mitchell Park Domes). His wife Nancy is also an amazing florist (Fantasy Flowers in Thiensville).

Rev. Russ did a fantastic job for us on very short notice. If we had it to do all over again Rev. Russ would again be our choice. He put together a greet ceremony for us and on a personal note, he is a very nice person!

Rev. Russ did an amazing job as the officiant for my wedding. He was friendly, proffessional, and really brought things together well. He was on-time for every event, and put me at ease before the big day. I reccommend him highly.

Rev Russ was very flexible and cordial from beginning to end. Very helpful at the ceremony working with vendors and speaking with guests. Extremely outgoing, friendly, and a sense of humor. We highly recommend Rev Russ! Typically we do not give out ratings over a 4 on a survey (ever). Rev Russ has gone above and beyond and is easy to work with. Thank you so much for being a part of our celebration and making out day so memoriable! (6/18/10)

Reverend Russ was very open to our feedback and really worked to customize our ceremony to meet our desires. From the moment we met, he worked to get to know us, to understand not just what we were looking for in an officiant, but for the overall feeling of our wedding as well.
Rev Russ provided an outline of his services and asked some basic questions of us prior to our first meeting. We met in a public setting to go over our feedback, get to know one another, and decide whether or not to work together. He was very open, and asked questions of us as well, to help us think through our marriage. If anything, Rev Russ may have been a bit nervous on our first meeting as well, which soon faded to comfort and gave us a sense of how quickly he adapts as well!
Upon our rehearsal dinner, Rev Russ was fun and structured. We had a great rehearsal and when the location was set up slightly differently the next day, his contingency plans were well utilized (a nod here and there to indicate timing etc). He was profiessional, organized, and very easy to hear and follow. Prior to the ceremony we exchanged the script verbatum and he incorporated all of our feedback (and we his!). Rev Russ made smooth transitions to and from our reader, and was very timely with the marriage license as well.
All in all, Rev Russ was a perfect choice for our ceremony. He really gave us the experience and environment we were seeking, and incorporated all of our guests with ease (they had a response to confirm support of us too)! Thank you!

Russ is the best! I've been to other weddings where he officiated and I HAD to have him perform our ceremony. He made it unique, fun, spiritual and a direct reflection of who my husband and I are. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect fit with our personalities and our beliefs. Our friends and family really loved it.
He's truly dedicated to giving you the ceremony you want, and is able to tailor-make it so it's a perfect fit to whatever your wants and needs are. You cannot go wrong by having Rent-a-preacher!
