Let me start by saying you are doing yourself a huge disservice if you don't allow Rich and Shelby to create your dream wedding . They create absolute magic and I still can't get over how smooth our day was!! My fiancé and I were one of the couples whose international wedding got cancelled due to Covid last year, and we were totally bummed and lost trying to figure out how to start from scratch again. One day I came across the Let's Knot website, died at the sound of it at all and what they could possibly provide, submitted a request form, and literally within a few hours Rich had already reached out about setting up a phone call to discuss details. From that day forward everything was a walk in the park. We picked a date that only gave Rich and Shelby 6 weeks to plan, but our wedding day literally could not have been more beautifully organized and well delivered. We chose one of the all inclusive elopements, and it was worth every ounce. We are from MD so Rich and Shelby literally scouted Sedona AZ to find the perfect ceremony site for us, they set up/ broke down ceremony decor, hired and delivered the florals, hired the violinist, hired us a personal driver, handled every ounce of communication with all of the vendors, formalized a detailed itinerary for us and our parents, and best of all Rich delivered a magnificent officiating ceremony that left everyone in happy tears. Our parents still cannot stop talking about how impressed they were with everything. From that day forward everything was a walk in the park.

The energy these two give off is infectious and they are not only great to work with but honestly just really cool people to talk to. We were so excited for our day but also to just meet them! Shelby is always smiling and Rich is always making sure all parties are happy. They are so perfect at what they do that we still feel like we're soaring on a high. HIRE LETS KNOT AND SAY WE DID! read more

This is a long overdue review and it's going to be lengthy because this team deserves it. When I got engaged to my now husband I had no idea how hard it was going to be to plan a wedding in the midst of a pandemic. Being from the other side of the globe planning a wedding in the United States was just overwhelming. I had no idea how or when the wedding would happen. I just knew one thing, I wanted to get married to my wonderful husband, have our parents there and celebrate our love. Obviously like any bride to be I started doing an extensive research into wedding planners and all-inclusive packages. All that I was presented with was pages and pages of brochures with no human contact really. I came across Let's Knot at the very end and knew instantly if anyone was going to marry us it had to be them. The website truly represents what they stand for. Within days of reaching out Rich and Shelby arranged for us to meet virtually and in person and iron out some details. I still remember getting off the call me and my husband said to each other, 'Hell yeah these guys are getting us married!' Over the next few weeks Rich, Shelby and the entire team got in touch with us to get to know the tiny little details that even I wouldn't have thought of. They planned EVERY SINGLE thing, the decor, flowers, music, unity ceremony, make up and even our Limo ride. All I did was get dressed on the day of the wedding, enjoy a nice brunch with my mum and dad and drive down to the ceremony. I was stress free knowing exactly what was going to happen and when, because guess what they even gave me an itinerary with all the parts of the ceremony. On the day of the wedding Rich reached out and made sure we were feeling great, the ceremony was amazing and heartfelt. While we clicked couples pictures he even hung out with our parents. My father-in-law said that it seemed as though Rich really knew us as he was officiating our wedding. All the details everything, mind-blowing. The memory of the day is still fresh in my mind. Rich really helped us celebrate our love in the most unique way. If you are someone who is confused, doesn't know where to start and wants something truly special and intimate don't look any further. The experience of getting married by Let's Knot in the most intimate setting is something you don't want to miss out on. Did I also mention that they pulled all this off in less than three weeks after I contacted them? Yep, that's how AWESOME they are! read more

My honey and I went on a road trip for a belated birthday trip for him. We knew we were going to Utah, that was it, but also that we had the time to keep the road trip going. We set our sights on Sedona, neither of us had ever been, and then had a thought "what if we eloped in Sedona?!" This was 10pm on a Thursday night and we were checking out the next morning by 9am with, at this point, no concrete destination to head to. I did a quick hashtag search on Instagram of #sedonaelopement and found Let's Knot and Say We Did. Everything looked right but, again, this was crazy spontaneous and entirely unplanned. I emailed them straight away and Rich got back to me within minutes. He and Shelby happened to be going to Sedona for the weekend and had sunset on Saturday free for a ceremony if we wanted to do it. Game on. Everything from that moment was yes upon yes. Cosmic grace and ease abound. All we needed was to confirm we actually had a marriage license (!) which we procured, very simply I might add, in Flagstaff on our drive down to Sedona. It was just the two of us, the two of them, our scruffy muppet of a dog and a backdrop to die for. Shelby picked me a bouquet of wildflowers (definitely something I hadn't thought about), Rich incorporated anecdotes that felt like he'd known us forever (that he'd known us for longer than 36hrs, very least), Shelby played and sang us a song so we could experience a first dance- another detail we definitely would have overlooked. They both intuited exactly what we needed to make the experience perfectly private, perfectly seamless, and perfectly OURS. I wholeheartedly celebrate this company and cannot hype them enough for making our marriage day so intrinsically breezy and FUN. In short(!!): we had green lights all the way from the idea to the altar, with Let's Knot and Say We Did. And our pics, trust me, are bonafide stunners. Hire them, hang onto your hats, and live your BEST WED life! read more

Stop questioning whether or not you should book a wedding package with Rich & Shelby and just do it! They truly gave us the most magical wedding day and we couldn't be more appreciative. They really made every effort to get to know us as a couple, and made our wedding ceremony so personal and special. They pay attention to detail, and make you feel at ease during the whole wedding planning process. My now husband (Chris) and I had to cancel original wedding plans in Mexico due to Covid-19, and our initial wedding plans in Sedona with Rich & Shelby were put at risk due to the wildfires happening in AZ. They went above and beyond to rearrange our wedding plans, and still figured out a way to give us the wedding of our dreams even though our original wedding spot was not accessible. They are just as excited for you to get married as you are, and they are so accommodating to everyone involved, as well as everyone attending the wedding. Not only was Rich an amazing officiant for the ceremony, but Shelby as the photographer made us feel so comfortable and at ease during the picture taking process. Chris and I have always been terrible at taking photos, and have never been ones to take a lot of photos of ourselves ; Shelby did a great job at making us laugh, allowing us to be in the moment, and getting us to genuinely enjoy the whole photo shoot. Chris and I will forever be grateful to them both, and I could talk forever about all the positives they brought to our wedding day. Our wedding visions could've never came to fruition without them, and for that we are thankful. They come with good vibes, a genuine love for what they do, and allow you as a couple to make some of the most special memories you will ever have!! They honestly got the stars to align for our wedding day, and I know they will continue to move mountains for anyone they work with in the future. read more

We received Let's Knot as a recommendation from our planner for our micro wedding and we are so glad that we did. Rich was amazing from initial outreach all the way through wedding day, and we are so appreciative that we were able to have him with us. He truly took the time to get to know us as a couple, and almost every guest commented how personalized and lovely our ceremony was. I was very hesitant to write our own vows, but with a small push in the right direction from Rich it truly made the ceremony that much more special. The only very small detail I will say is that we had requested a microphone or mic to be used so that we could insure all guests could hear very clearly (as well as for video audio), and there may have been a mishap as one was not used during the ceremony itself. We only received one comment that is was hard to hear Rich when he was speaking, but just though it should be noted for future weddings especially to pick up those special moments as Rich is a fantastic speaker and told our story beautifully. This falls into the coordinator/planner lap so not a reflection on Let's Knot, again just mentioning for future weddings as those small details sometimes get missed in the hustle and bustle of the day. On the business side of things they have their outreach and system automation set up perfectly so you are aware of next steps, upcoming meetings, any questions/follow ups, and invoicing. If you are planning the wedding yourself you will be so grateful to have vendors that have taken the time to really set up their business as a business to streamline the process as it can be overwhelming with all the vendor emails and notifications. Overall we could not recommend Rich and Let's Knot & Say We Did enough! Thank you again Rich, it was a pleasure!! read more

FIRST - Pick Rich as your officiant! We have nothing but the best things to say about having Rich as our officiant - our wedding truly would not have been the same without him. From the very beginning, Rich made apparent his love for helping facilitate truly authentic wedding. Throughout the entire process, we were challenged to consider the details that would make our ceremony special to us. And any suggestion we had; Rich had a way to make our idea a vision and encouraged us to include any details important to us. Rich spent the time to get to us know us as both individuals and a couple. He has the ability to read people so well and was able to learn about our relationship and articulate it during our ceremony in the most beautiful way. All of guests asked how we knew Rich as it seemed he is a friend/family. We included many religious details as well as a unity ceremony into our ceremony. Rich scripted a ceremony that not only included all the details in a smooth manner but included sentiment and humor at the same time. If having a unique ceremony that will highlight you and your partner's compassion and love for each other - he will accomplish it! We both had our personalized vows, but Rich's words during our ceremony seemingly encompassed our vows to each other (and he hadn't read our vows!). He truly has a way of connecting with others and articulating love and compassion in words. Our ceremony was truly more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed of! I couldn't be more thankful that we had Rich as part of our special day. read more

We postponed our Fall 2020 wedding to Fall 2021; however, a variety of both lingering and new hurdles brought about the decision to scrap everything and elope instead (someplace gorgeous and in nature). We came across Let's Knot & Say We Did via Instagram during the summer and through their posts, we found a large part of the courage to make the jump on the elopement plan as we were instantly drawn to Rich and Shelby's beaming smiles and obvious joy in doing what they do. From those posts to the introductory video call to email communications and eventually to meeting in person on our elopement day, their energy was infectious! Rich was engaged and always on top of any communications, and he offered a very warm and confidence-inspiring response when my husband reached out looking for reassurance about a unique style for his vows. On our special day, Rich led us through a beautiful, relaxed and customized ceremony (and Shelby sang for us with soft yet lifting vocals) where we felt very comfortable letting tears flow while expressing our love and promises through hand-written vows. Rich and Shelby took care of every little detail - from arranging all the vendors to helping our parents to and from the ceremony site, ensuring we didn't leave anything behind at the site to presenting us with a special surprise, and even filing the marriage license for us. We had a wonderful experience and would recommend Let's Knot to any couple looking for a team of beautiful souls that radiate love and happiness. read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of stumbling upon "Let's Knot and Say We Did" through a Google search, and we were more than pleased. Everything, from their work to create a perfect narrative that described our relationship, to the attention to detail in how we imagined our wedding to go. Shelby and Rich have perfected their process to truly preserve the meaning of a wedding. Administratively, they accomplished everything they said they would with precision; they contacted and arranged the floral work, they hired the musician, and settled all discussions pertaining to venue (we were lucky enough to have our wedding during the summertime, where they were willing to travel to us - Philadelphia). However, I was most impressed with Shelby and Rich during our "off the record" interactions. Because it was their first time visiting Philly, my wife and I treated them to cheesesteaks, and we chatted logistics, finalized details, etc. However, despite gabbing about work, there were subtle moments where they shared a glance, or Shelby laughed a school girl giggle, or Rich cheese a romanticist's smile. They were, for lack of better words, so honest in their love for each other. Truly, there were no better people to entrust our wedding with than to Rich and Shelby, two people so well-versed and understanding of love. read more

I mean, 5 stars doesn't even do them justice. This was by far the best decision I have ever made in my life. We were slightly nervous about eloping and missing out on a traditional wedding. Absolute nonsense. Rich & Shelby organized the single most intimate, stress free, beautiful, fun, exhilarating experience my husband and I have ever experienced. Every detail was thought of. The best part was we didn't have to do any of it!! We just got to show up. Things I've heard about traditional weddings; "it was a blur, I don't remember any of it." "There was so much family drama." "We barely got alone time because we were visiting with so many people" "I was so nervous I blacked out". The list goes on. We left this expierence with an even deeper love for each other than I ever knew possible. It truly felt like the whole day was made for us. Even the weather. Rich and Shelby are absolute angels and I wish everyone could expierence their presence. I wish words could make the reader understand the level of happiness and emotion Rich & Shelby can pull out of a 6 hour experience. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Rich was an outstanding officiant for our wedding! This role is critical to make the ceremony come to life, and Rich is an absolute professional. He created such a touching, emotional moment for us and our guests that everyone commented our ceremony was the best they've experienced. Rich worked closely with us leading up to our wedding date and with his calm, comforting style, assured us that everything will go smoothly. On top of listening to our story and incorporating deep personal elements into his words, he helped us prepare our vows and gave us ideas for unique unity cermonies. Rich will cater to anyone's wedding event style; in our case it was formal and he dressed very well and brought a grounded energy that truly made a memorable moment; this is not a simple feat, as the bride and groom are nervous, and being ushered around on a tight schedule - he made us and our guests feel present and we are so glad we experienced such a once in a lifetime cermony under his lead. We highly recommend working with Rich and thank him sincerely. read more

Hey Lovebirds, In the wedding planning process? Still in search of the perfect officiant for your special day? Great news! You can stop searching. Seriously, you aren't going to find anyone better than Let's Knot and Say We Did. From the first contact, through the planning, and during our elopement ceremony, they are a truly a company that cares about making your wedding unique and special for you. We reached out to Let's Knot and were quickly partnered with Brittany. To put it simply, Brittany was an amazing officiant and made our elopement ceremony so much better than we expected. She took time to learn our story and what brought us together. She listened to what was important to us. She brought out what makes us unique as a couple and delivered a ceremony that was personal and tailored to us. She truly enjoys what she does and goes above and beyond to give you the best wedding possible. To summarize, do yourself a favor and let Let's Knot do what they do. You won't be sorry. Live happily ever after, ya lovebirds! 5+*/5* read more

My *now* husband and I had the absolute pleasure of randomly finding Let's Knot on Instagram. Seeing how much genuine happiness and love these two possess and how it translated into their work had us sold from the start, and we never looked back. We signed up for obviously officiant services for our wedding, but also bridal party yoga. Whaaaaat?! (Seriously, do it. We had a total blast and relived all the stress) Both Rich and Shelby knocked it out of the park on everything, we just adore them! Their communication, knowledge, and all around personalities just made everything easy and comfortable. They take their time and put their all into making your day just that- YOUR day. No matter what that looks like to you. If we could do it all over, we would pick these guys a million times over Take a deep breath, and a little leap of faith, because you found the perfect addition to your wedding team right here. read more

Rich and Shelby were incredible. What a fantastic team! We got so many compliments about our ceremony, the sneak peek photos (more to come), and the snazzy jacket Rich wore. It was such a personalized experience that our guests thought we had known Rich and Shelby for a good while, but we had only video conferenced a couple times. Shelby's photography skills are UNMATCHED and Rich inspires her with new and fun ideas throughout the session. They are so good at what they do and their love and enjoyment of their profession and one another is contagious. They bring forth natural joy and happiness; you can see it in photos. It just felt natural that they were at our wedding, like old friends you haven't seen in awhile. Heaven forbid I have to get married again, but I would use them again. lol read more

Rich was referred to me by a mutual friend and I couldn't be happier that he was. We originally thought we wanted one of our friends to officiate our wedding but ultimately didn't want to burden them with the pressure. We wanted a professional but also wanted it to feel special. I can't say this enough but Rich was PERFECT. In our initial meeting with Rich, he said that his goal was to have people at our wedding ask us how long Rich has known us. His ceremony tied in everything about Rachel and I as a couple which lead to people all night being SHOCKED to find out the Rich wasn't actually a lifelong friend of ours. I can't recommend Rich enough. We had a perfect wedding, with an extremely professional officiant and it was just so refreshing to see how much Rich actually loves Love. read more

Brittany was absolutely amazing! We planned a non-traditional adventure elopement and stumbled upon this company through google while looking for an officiant. Brittany went way above and beyond anything we could possibly have hoped for. Not only was she up for the 45 minute off insanely bumpy off-road adventure to an epic ceremony location in Sedona, she created a personalized ceremony that felt as if a longtime friend or family member was officiating. She got to know intimate details of our personalities, family life, and relationship and created such a beautiful script. Not only did we have a beautiful memorable ceremony, we gained a new friend. We had excellent communication through zoom and text before meeting. 5 stars simply isn't enough!! read more

Rich and Shelby are absolute rockstars! We contacted this fabulous couple about our adventure elopement and they seamlessly orchestrated a day we will never forget. From the thoughtful prep calls, to the very clear and easy "to-do" tasks (IE picking meaningful songs on your wedding day, etc), to providing guidance on writing personal vows...they made getting married easy, free from stress and focused on the most important thing - LOVE. Rich weaved our story into the ceremony, personalizing our special day and Shelby captured photos we have only seen in magazines. We can't say enough positive things about this dynamic duo to accurately summarize the impact they had on our wedding day. I wish we could get married again!! read more

Tristan was a spectacular officiant. We chose her because we thought her humor and personality would complement ours well and it certainly did. She gave us some excellent resources that assisted us in writing our vows and giving her the material she needed to create a memorable ceremony. Even our religious attendees who would've probably felt more at home at a wedding mass were blown away by her performance. Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. Whether it was poking fun at the green bay fans in the audience or the beautiful comments about our relationship, she really nailed it, and understood exactly what we were looking for. We couldn't be happier with her, and we know you will be as well. read more

Rich was an expert at wedding ceremonies. He helped us from everything like where to stand and what to do to help writing our vows and thinking about what was important to us. During our ceremony Rich spoke a lot about all the details he had come to learn about us, and after the ceremony family and friends remarked about how lovely and personal the ceremony was. Rich was experienced, professional, and friendly. He also took care of all the filling at the court for us. I highly recommend working with Rich to make your wedding day great! I really feel like he got to know us and wanted to make sure our ceremony had the exact vibe we were going for. read more

I cannot put into words how special our day was because of them. Rich took the time to get to know us and our story and crafted the most beautiful ceremony for us. It felt like he had known us throughout our relationship. Shelby played the guitar and sang for us. We picked our processional music and first dance song and she killed it!! She is an amazing singer and has a beautiful voice. Our first dance was so special because of her. Our friends and family couldn't get over how awesome they were. I can't recommend them enough for your special day. They will go above and beyond for you and I would pick them over and over again. read more
