Rev. Ray Van Winkle & Associates

Rev. Ray Van Winkle & Associates is a Lynnwood-based wedding and ceremony officiant serving the Puget Sound region, with a focus on full-time, professional officiant services for religious, secular, interfaith, and multicultural ceremonies. Ray performs religious and secular ceremonies, with a noted specialty in Filipino weddings incorporating traditional elements such as the veil, cord, candle, and coins, and is an LGBTQ+ ally who conducted some of the first same-sex weddings in Washington state. With over 2,500 ceremonies performed since 2003, Ray operates as a full-time professional officiant, not as a side business or add-on service.

Reviewers consistently highlight Ray's professionalism, humor, and logistical reliability, including attending rehearsals, handling technical issues during ceremonies, and arriving early on the wedding day.
