Todd Rodarmel, The OC Wedding Guy

Todd is the best wedding officiant anyone could ask for. He was easy and fun to work with. All of our guests loved Todd with raving reviews of the ceremony. Everyone asked us for his information and commented how great he was. He gave a lasting impression and made our day very special.

We were so lucky to have found Todd, and we liked him from our first meeting! He listened to us and our requests and made the most perfect ceremony! It was emotional, spiritual, and funny which kept it light-hearted and happy. Everyone is still commenting on how wonderful our ceremony was and asking how we found Todd. He managed to calm my husband's pre-ceremony nerves instantly too with just a few words. Highly recommended!

It is so hard to find an officiant that you connect with when you're not affiliated with a church or have a family friend, so finding Todd was beyond amazing. In our first meeting with him, both my husband and I were blown away and immediately said, "I want him to do our ceremony." There was no discussion needed. Once you meet Todd, you'll understand. He has this amazing likability to him. The way he speaks and asks questions to get to know a couple is a natural talent and cannot be taught. On our wedding day, he did an awesome job. He had the guests interact, made people laugh, and really made our ceremony more than we could've ever imagined. Even our guests loved him, which isn't something you hear often about a wedding. It’s usually about what a great venue or awesome DJ, but seldom do you hear about how great your officiant was. I can honestly say it was an absolute honor to have Todd marry us.

Reverend Todd served as the officiant for our wedding in October. Just like the other reviewers on this site I can go on and on with many superlatives that describe Reverend Todd, but instead, I will just say that if you were like me, just months ago searching for an officiant, then you need to look no further. Reverend Todd will do an excellent job and truly delivers. Our ceremony had the right amount of sentimentality as well some humor that was so well received by the guests that afterwards we received many compliments on our choice for the officiant. I'm glad that I found Reverend Todd. In every way, he was outstanding. It was a great pleasure working with him.

My husband and I felt that the most important part of our wedding day is choosing the right officiant. From the first time we met Pastor Todd , we knew he was the perfect person to marry us. He made us feel very comfortable and really listens and works with you to ensure that your day is perfect. He is caring, smart, funny, and GREAT speaker!! His style and presentation was perfect for our ceremony. Everyone raved on how excellent Pastor Todd was! I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married! He'll make your day PERFECT!

We had found Todd through our wedding planner. Todd delivered the most amazing wedding ceremony we could ever ask for! It was funny but not comedic to the point where it lost its taste. He was very well spoken and most importantly delivered a message from God. I am Christian and my wife is Catholic and he was able to tie everything together as one in the name of Jesus Christ. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Pastor Todd! Keith and Monica

My husband and I were married by Pastor Todd in August. After our first meeting with him, we knew he was a perfect fit for our wedding. He was genuine, laid back, personable, pleasant to be around, and a great speaker. He did not make anything sound rehearsed or stuffy and kept everything light. The day of the ceremony, I felt he even exceeded our already high expectations of him from the reviews, meetings, and marriage counseling with him. His speaking provided the perfect blend of spirituality, humor, and commitment, making the ceremony a definite highlight for our guests...everyone commented on how excellent Pastor Todd was and how great a job he did. My husband is Jewish and I am a Christian, but I still wanted a Christian Pastor to do our wedding. It was so amazing that Pastor Todd was able to pull scriptures and elements from both of these religions and make such a cohesive picture of them together. Everything he said was easy for everyone to relate to. He is the best! You will not be disappointed, and you will not have to worry whether or not he will do your wedding ceremony perfectly. One less thing to worry about for your big day!

Yes, definitely 5 stars. This was the first time that I ever heard guests comment positively about the officiant. Normally the words/phrases that I hear at a wedding about an officiant are: boring, too long, looked disheveled, didn't understand him/her, didn't pay attention, etc. These are the words that we kept hearing repeated about Todd on the day of our wedding and we continue to hear even a month afterwards: * amazing words by the officiant * the perfect length * he made it fun and relaxed * it wasn't stuffy * he was great... where did you find him? * we want him for our wedding * he was _______ (fill in the blank with... cute, hunky, handsome, etc) Our parents were very impressed... and some of our parents (mine) are a bit difficult to please. Some of the positives: * he genuinely likes what he does * he actually presides over a congregation (although we have not attended) - makes it feel a bit better than simply having a "rent-a-reverend" * he looks extremely presentable (yes, may not be the most important thing but he will be in a lot of your wedding pictures and videos) * speaks clearly and in a manner where the guests are drawn in * does exactly what he says and shows up exactly when he says he will * doesn't really cost anymore than many of the other officiants we met (many of who had a couple things that were questionable so why take the risk) In our initial meeting, we immediately felt that "he is the one." Definitely worth your time to at least meet with him. Good luck and congratulations.

Todd was great to work with! We knew we wanted to book him after our first meeting. The ceremony he performed was beautiful. Our guests really loved his message and lighthearted style.

Todd was a great choice for us. He made the ceremony just what we wanted, traditional with a modern feeling. I highly recommend him for your event.

We found ourselves in a bind last minute in need of a very important aspect of our otherwise beautiful beach-side wedding, an officiant. Todd more than met both my husband-to-be and my very particular expectations. His presentation of our ceremony was perfect down to the last detail; funny when appropriate, touching at the most opportune moments, included our family and children in exactly the way we had hoped. Many positives were commented on following our wedding, however the two raves of the event were the amazing food and our fantastic officiant. Thank you Todd, sincerely, from the bottom of our hearts! It was an unforgettable experience!

Todd is the greatest. We absolutely loved him. Todd has a way about him that makes everyone want to listen. Everything he said was so powerful and honest that I still have people telling me how much they loved the ceremony. Both my husband and I highly recommend Todd. He made our wedding perfect. Kerry and Jeff Pettis

Todd is the best!!! Everything was perfect.

We highly recommend Todd to anybody who wants a professional and a ceremony that isn't dull. When looking for an officiant, we were very picky because we did not want a boring ceremony but we didn't want it to be too much at the same time. Todd was perfect. He is very flexible and easy to work with. We've been married for almost a month now and we still get compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was and how Todd delivered such a beautiful message. Meet with him in person and you'll know he's the right one for your wedding!

Rev Rodarmel was the perfect choice for us! We got married this September and he really made it the best day of our lives! He really took the time to get to know us and we felt very comfortable with him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married!

I highly recommend Todd to officiate your wedding. He did a great job for us. We had guests specifically mention to us how much they enjoyed Todd. He really cared about giving us the type of ceremony we wanted. He always returned our calls and was very reliable. My husband and I are very glad we used Todd for our special day.

Rev Todd was absolutely wonderful. Before we even selected him, my wife had almost unrealistic criteria. Luckily, when we met with Rev. Todd, he met and exceeded the criteria. He is such an eloquent speaker, and is very real. He was in communication with us before the wedding, and quickly responded to all of our emails. At our wedding, we had several guests who are not religious or really appreciate religion. They all really enjoyed the ceremony and all told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony. We have received at least 10 compliments from our guests as to how much they enjoyed his sermon. I would not choose anyone else for our wedding.

Todd did such a FANTASTIC job with our ceremony. It was very hard on the groom and I as we live in Colorado and our pastor could not make it out to our wedding. Since we live out of state, we couldn't meet with Todd in person.. but he did make sure to take time out of his schedule to have a phone conference and get to know us. It REALLY showed during our ceremony. Not only was his message very personalized with some comments about each of us personally but it was VERY beautiful and the way he explained it was just perfect. I would recommend him to ALL new brides and grooms looking for a fantastic officiant!

Todd did a great job, made everyone feel welcome, was punctual, and even at the rehearsal kept everyone on task and educated about each person's role and responsibilities. We would definitely recommend Todd to anyone looking for a quality Pastor for their most special day! John and Adria

Rev. Todd was awesome. Everyone at our wedding said it was the best ceremony they have ever seen! He was so awesome and kept our ceremony short and sweet, just like we asked :) He was very professional and we only met with him one time before our ceremony and he was very reassuring. I definitely recommend Rev. Todd! :)
