Rion Dugan – Officiant

Rion officiated my wedding last month. I found him here on Unilocal after doing research on a few officiants. I am so glad that we chose him!
We initially had a phone call to give him our basic information and wedding plan. He sent us a contract in the mail which we signed and returned to him and later we set up a date and time to meet. He lives in Palm Springs but met up with us at a coffee shop near our home in Los Angeles. There we went into more detail about the service and went over some ceremony plans that he had previously emailed to us. Our meeting lasted just about an hour and he was able to take it from there from that point.
Rion came to our rehearsal dinner on time a do ready to go. We did several run-​throughs of the service and he gave us a lot of great advice as to what things to consider and what works best in his opinion.
On the date of our wedding he was there on time once again. The ceremony went perfectly and exactly as we had discussed it. He made sure that our witnesses signed our marriage license on the correct lines and mailed it off to the county recorder’s office for us.
I could not have asked for a better person to officiate my wedding. Thank you so much Rion! I would recommend him to anyone getting married in Southern California.

I cannot express what a wonderful find Rion was. We set our wedding date within a month of the initial meeting. Then we had a conflict and had to move it up to the week before. Rion was fantastic about it. He created a personal ceremony that incorporated the memories of our fathers and childhood stories from our mothers. After the ceremony we had an issue with our license and he took care of all of it. Rion made our day less stressful and flow perfectly. Thank you Rion for helping make our beautiful day!

We were so very lucky to find Rion! By luck, we found him on craigslist and I have never had such luck on that site until we found him. He is so easy and sweet to work with. His price in my opinion was very reasonable and I believe for the price he charged us, we got the better bargain! He came out to meet me for the first time by my house and was very helpful in figuring out what our ideal ceremony was. He even said since we wanted a religious ceremony he could wear a robe! He was just amazing and many of our guests asked where we found someone so genuinely nice and talented! His speaking voice was easy to carry over the crowd as well.
Rion not only met up with us to discuss our ideal ceremony, but he came to our rehearsal all the way out in Ventura and then was early for the ceremony to make sure everything ran smoothly the next day. I did not need to turn into a Bridezilla, everything went perfect and I was not stressed or nervous at all! I am definitely going to recommend him to all of my friends. He is honestly the best out there! He was even so helpful when it came to the marriage license. He mailed it for us and everything, as a matter of fact we got the copy and packet he sent us two days ago! He is efficient, pleasant, and it was an honor to have him be our officiant. Thank you Rion from the bottom of our hearts!

We found Rion on craigslist on a last ditch effort to find a wedding officiant when ours cancelled last minute. He was willing to meet with us on the same day we contacted him and even came out to our location. He was incredibly personable, professional, and we were super happy we found him. We liked him so much, we booked him at the end of our meeting. He listened and helped us feel at ease about our non traditional ceremony plans. We had no idea how to go about setting up the ceremony, but Rion was there to lay down the basics. He personalized our ceremony and kept in contact with us since our initial meeting. He sent us links of vows and different wedding related material. The dude is just an all around funny and good person. And he doesn’t charge you and arm and a leg like a bunch of other officiants we had previously looked up. We highly recommend his services and we know that you will not regret it!!!
