Sarasota officiant recommendation!

Hi everyone.  I'm getting married in 6 months at the RItz Carlton's beach club on Lido.  Pretty much the only thing we don't have yet is an officiant.  We want something non denominational, short and sweet to get the party started. Anyone have recommendations, or warnings of who NOT to use?  Thanks!

    We used Rich and Georgeamm==nn Butler.  They were great.  Georgeann wrote our ceremony and Rich performed it, but you can have her do it too.  I totally recommend them!!

    I used Rev Tom Greene and was very nice.  He def knew us and geared our ceremony perfectly...It was very heartfelt...there wears tears in every row:)  Happy tears of course.

    I just got married there on 10/3/10... First off, we had an AMAZING wedding there!!

    I used Father Pat Wenrick. He was GREAT. We had met with him once about a month before the wedding and during our ceremony he added some personal touches that he must have picked up on us during our meeting. His info is below:

    We used Katie Rauh who was awesome. She has such a great sense of humor and really mashed well with my husband (now) and I.
