Our Journey: From Corporate Life to Celebrating Love

After a successful corporate career spanning 25 years, I realized that there was more to life than just financial success. In 2003, I embarked on a new path, leaving behind the international business world to support my wife Cyndi in her new venture, Cavender Castle, a charming wedding venue in Dahlonega, Georgia.

As I witnessed various ceremonies conducted at Cavender Castle, I noticed a lack of personalization and genuine emotion in many weddings. Drawing upon my background in sales and public speaking, I saw an opportunity to make a difference. Driven by a desire to create heartfelt and memorable experiences, I became ordained as a non-denominational minister.

Crafting Unique and Meaningful Ceremonies

At Ceremonies by Rick, my journey into officiating weddings opened my eyes to the art of crafting ceremonies that truly celebrate the love and connection between couples. I learned not only how to make a marriage legally binding, but also how to infuse each ceremony with personal touches that make it a reflection of the couple's relationship.

Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a grand wedding with hundreds of guests, or a destination wedding, I bring the same level of dedication and preparation to every ceremony. Each ceremony is a labor of love, ensuring that your special day is filled with touching moments, cherished memories, and a genuine celebration of your relationship.
