Any one work with Pastor Rick York??

[msredbird51]

I know Pastor York gets rave reviews and, given that, I plan on contacting him regarding our wedding.

 

However, I'm wondering.....is he the only option for a minister in the Punta Cana area?

 

I'm one of those annoying anal retentive, overly analytical, has eight different spreadsheets for everything types of people. I like to figure out all the options for every single decision and then weigh them all against each other to make the best decision for my situation. Basically, I'm a dork (lol) and feel odd that when it's coming to the minister it appears I only have one option and, thus, have no pro and con list to make. Plus, I'd like to know if there's a backup in case Pastor York isn't available.

Wow... can you imagine how much money he is raking in? Good for him, sounds like he deserves it.

My wife and I were married in April 2009. We had Pastor York perform a religious ceremony following the legal ceremony conducted by a local justice. That is the one factor I would be mindful of if I were you - you must have a legal ceremony in the DR conducted by a judge if it is not a Catholic ceremony.  Ours was beautiful with the required components up front and a lovely ceremony officiated by Rick following. He put a lot of real thought and consideration into our ceremony and was nothing but a pleasure to work with. Rick truly made our day a special one, and I could not recommend him enough to anyone. He is a truly remarkable person and a very articulate / eloquent pastor.

I was told by a TA, to use caution in having a Civil Ceremony in DR becuase you can run into a lot of barriers. I was also told that you have to pay almost $100 per page/documents (needed for marriage) to be translated in Spanish. Does anyone know if this is true. 

 

At Christy: I was in contact with Rick York about 2 weeks ago and he mentioned that he was going on vacation for a month. He did say that he would periodically be able to check his email. So, if you don't hear from him right away, that's why:)

It's not all that bad.  If you use WEDO the cost is $300 total (provided you have never been married before).

 

Sometimes TA's are just that - TA's.  Some of them know very little about the actual wedding details.
