MY NAME IS RICH SATNAM.

First of all, I want to say thank you. I am grateful our paths are crossing by way of love.

I get the joy and honor of leading and guiding you through one of the most intentional days in your life: committing to the dance of marriage. I am hardwired to bring heart and a feeling of community into all that I do. Love has this intricate way of moving through us. Whether it be in the form of joyful tears, belly laughing, or a warm embrace, I create, encourage, and welcome all of your expression. You aren’t required to ‘hold it together’ anymore.

I receive inspiration from you in so many ways. From listening to how love has beautifully woven your paths together, to hearing what you love most about yourself since meeting your lover, I am constantly left in awe. Together, let’s create magic. I express myself in many ways but at my core,

I am a masterful communicator with the gift of storytelling.

I get to know each of my couples in an intimate way. You aren’t just hiring “an officiant,” but rather a Master of Ceremony. My goal is to tell your love story in a way that is playful, inclusive to your guests, and meaningful to you. Don’t be surprised when a family member or friend you’ve invited asks how we’re related. I believe in alignment. What we as a company, and I as an individual, offer is uniquely tailored from a place of love and peace.

I want to work with couples who live their own lives from a place of authenticity, joy, and freedom. I encourage you to make any decision, especially when it comes to your wedding day, with your heart or your gut. Check in with yourselves and each other. How does your body respond to the idea of working with me or with us?

The best wedding experiences come when you both feel a FULL yes from within.

Officiant: FAQ


Is the Investment Worth it?

Your wedding ceremony is the most important ceremony of your life. It should be one of your all time favorite memories. I want you to look back on your day with joy and love and peace, wanting to live it over and over again! If you’re looking for the absolute cheapest option, we probably aren’t for you. And that’s ok!! I know that we offer a premium, personal service that is completely customizable to your needs. Each officiant invests 8-10 hours into each ceremony to make sure it’s of the highest quality, while other ministers use a templated format often saying the same thing for each wedding. We are able to add in favorite memories, include pets, and present a variety of ideas that will make your wedding completely YOURS. After all, this is YOUR big day!


DO YOU SUPPLY THE MARRIAGE LICENSE AND WHAT DO WE DO WITH IT AFTER THE CEREMONY?

Couples are legally required to get their own marriage license. Your county website is the best place to get an appointment. For those in Maricopa County, the button below will take you there! After the ceremony, we’ll sign the license, and I’ll take care of mailing your license back to the courthouse. This way you and your guests can get on with the celebration!


WHAT DO YOU WEAR FOR THE CEREMONY?

I always ask what style and colors each couple is using so I can compliment their style in what I wear. This is your day!


HOW LONG IS YOUR CEREMONY?

My typical ceremony lasts 15 minutes, but can absolutely be shorter or longer depending on what you want to include in the ceremony.


WILL YOU TELL OUR GUESTS WHERE TO GO AFTER THE CEREMONY?

Absolutely! I’ll direct your guests on who needs to go where for pictures and who gets to start cocktail hour early. Unless told otherwise, I usually instruct guests to turn off or silence their phones before the ceremony begins. I’m also comfortable telling your guests to not have their phones out during the ceremony if that’s something you would like.


DO WE WRITE OUR OWN VOWS? HELP!

I’m always a fan of couples writing their own vows. I am more than happy to assist with different techniques and writing tools. If that’s not your thing, I have a few pages of pre-written vows you can choose from!


DO YOU ATTEND THE REHEARSAL?

Often your wedding coordinator or planner is here for this. However, if you’d like me to, I can for an additional $150.


Can we do a uNity ceremoNy?

Of Course! I love thinking outside the box on these! Some of the favorite ones I’ve done include mixing a favorite cocktail, tying a Celtic Knot, and building a rock cairn! Oh! And this one time a family of five throwing paint on a canvas! Your unity ceremony, if you decide to have one, should bring out your own flavor!


WHAT SHOULD WE BRING WHEN WE MEET YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME?

Come with your love, personality, and ideas on how you want your ceremony to feel! I have a list of questions I use to gather the best details for your ceremony. Bring any questions or ideas you have! I love answering your questions!


CAN YOU RECOMMEND ANY PHOTOGRAPHERS, VENUES, DJS, ETC.?

Yes! We’ve put together packages that include EVERYTHING where all you have to do is show up! We only work with the BEST because we want you to have the best experience possible.
