Marty is great!!! He gives you so many options on style and wording for the ceremony.
DH and I originally had no idea what we wanted and with all Marty's material and information we had a hard time choosing!!! He has every style from very religious to non religious, to second marriage to reaffirming of vows, etc, he has it all!! He lets you choose what style you want for each section of the ceremony - you can mix and get the exact ceremony you want. He ask us before the ceremony if we wanted it formal or casual. We wanted causal - He did a perfect mix of serious, beautiful moments and he also added many comments that made the guests smile or laugh. Many of the guests thought we had known him for years because he made it feel so personal. The guests all loved it at the end because before he introduced us as the new 'Mrs & Mrs XXX' he said he had been doing ceremonies for years and had always had one wish and that was to marry Ken and Barbie and now he could say he had - I am sure he had used this line before but he sounded so sincere and it was so cute all the family and guest loved it! So when he announced us all the guest were laughing and clapping - it made it a wonderful end. Guest have even commented on the ceremony and said that it was the best they had heard. You just cannot go wrong using him!!!

Dwayne with LoveNotes was great to work with. He met with my fiance and I in advance of the ceremony to get an understanding of our wishes and then put together a beautiful ceremony that was absolutely perfect for us. When I heard him at the ceremony, I was amazed at how he was able to capture the feelings that my fiance (now husband) and I have for each other. I would recommend him to anyone.

We booked Dwayne Pedroza through Love Notes and he did a fantastic job. He made the ceremony very personal with his warm demeanor and wonderfully chosen words. He adhered to our wishes for a civil ceremony though he is an ordained and active minister. He does 50+ weddings a year and is very good at tailoring the event to the bride and grooms wishes.

I could not have picked a better group of officiants to do the job, and provide a memorable ceremony as they have. Our minister was Carol Sage, and she really surprised everyone at out wedding with her charm and great sense of humor. She did such a great job in getting us not only prepared for the wedding ceremony, but also in letting us feel more at ease with the whole wedding. Very organized and precise, and etremely charming...I would recommend love notes to anyone and everyone regardless of religious preference. They have a little something for everyone. I highly recommend Love notes for anyones decision for their wedding.
THANK YOU LOVE NOTES....
Thank you Ms Carol...We still will be sending pictured as soon as my photographer has them ready..
We had a blast.

Our officiant, Ken Savage, did a fabulous job at our wedding! I was most appreciative of his ability to handle and coordinate the rehearsal in a fun, organized, and professional manner. We also had many compliments from our guests on the delivery of the ceremony.

The LoveNotes organization is the definition of professionalism. We placed our faith in Marty within five minutes of meeting with him. His demeanor and wit immediately put us at ease. Our confidence in LoveNotes and in Marty never faltered for a second. Marty is excellent in prompt communitcation, and he always made us feel like we were a priority.
With the help of the Wedding Ceremony Planner that LoveNotes supplied, we were able to plan the ceremony to fit our specific wants and needs. Marty delivered the exact ceremony that we wished for. In fact, he far exceeded our expectations. We feel so fortunate that he was such a large part of the beginning of our lives as husband and wife.
Our guests complimented us on many aspects of our wedding, but by far our minister received the most positive comments. Marty did all that we wanted and then some. We have seven daughters between us and imagine that Marty will be somebody that we will see again, and again, and again....and that would be our pleasure. Thank you Marty....we found our "preacher"!

I highly recommend Love Notes, and Randy Dickens. From day one I felt comfortable that Randy would make our day special, and he did. While following the guidelines that we set for the ceremony, he added special touches that lightened the mood and helped ease my stress! This service was absolutely wonderful, and I am so happy I used them!

We used Ken Byrd who did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony. Several people commented on it and the groom and I were really very pleased. The ceremony was perfectly tailored to our wishes and Ken really did treat us as though he had known us for a long time. This service is too expensive in my opinion but we did get exactly what we wanted.

If the next thing on your checklist is to find an officiant to marry you....look no further...Love Notes is it! In the 12 solid months Michael and I invested planning all the details of our wedding day as well as researching and booking each of our vendors...we saved finding an officiant for last. It is my belief that this one person holds the biggest responsibility of all the vendors on a wedding day...they help you and your fiance exchange your vows and cross that bridge to become husband and wife. That's a BIG deal in my eyes! Even though Michael and I didn't have any clear ideas on what kind of ceremony we wanted in the beginning...we knew we had to find not just any officiant, but THE officiant to help us create it. We began the search for THE officiant, and it didn't take long for us to come across Love Notes web site. They came highly recommended by many. From beginning to end, Ken Byrd (with Love Notes) was a sincere pleasure to collaborate with. He really treated us like we were his first, last and only clients. He pays incredible attention to the ideas, wishes and details that you have or come up with along the way...which is so important when your mind is scattered over all the seemingly million-and-one things that you've got to get accomplished while organizing your wedding! Through his guidance, creative suggestions, and the WONDERFUL book (A Wedding Ceremony to Remember: Perfect Words for the Perfect Wedding by Marty Younkin) Michael and I were able to create an incredible ceremony and Ken Byrd fine-tuned it to perfection! It was beautiful, unique, full of meaning, of deep love and respect for each other and our families. Ken gave 110% of himself before and on our wedding day. Not only were Michael and I swept away in a moment of time listening to him, but our families, friends and guests were as well. We too were told...'this was the BEST wedding ceremony we've ever seen!'. Please believe me when I say that you will NOT be disappointed if you choose Ken Byrd (or any of the other officiants) with Love Notes. It's true...5 stars are not enough praise to give him. He is that one person who can make all the difference between delivering an 'ok' ceremony and one that allows you to experience that 'invisible magic' that two people deserve to be showered upon on their once-in-a-lifetime day! Michael and I had that magical feeling come over us during our wedding. We felt like we were in our own time bubble. We were able to enjoy every moment as we looked into each others eyes, held each others hands and smiled the biggest smiles ever. From beginning to end of our ceremony we had feelings of excitement and realization that this is it...it's happening and it's AMAZING! We couldn't have done it without Ken. We feel privileged to have found Love Notes and Ken Byrd and honored to call him our officiant. He will always hold a special place in our hearts and those of our families.

Ken Byrd of LoveNotes officiated our ceremony. We met with him for lunch one day to get to know him and see if he was a good fit for us, and we found that he quickly felt like an old friend to us. In the months that led up to the wedding, Ken would occasionally touch base with us to give us helpful tips and grow our relationship a little. LoveNotes provided a book which we used to customize every part of our ceremony and when we chose to write our own vows, Ken prepared them on memorable cards and included a program of our ceremony (we did not use a program during the ceremony) that he sent to us after the wedding as a beautiful souvenir. The ceremony forms we filled out and questions we answered gave Ken plenty to work with on the day of the wedding to personalize his comments during the ceremony about getting to know us as a couple. We highly recommend LoveNotes' services.

Marty Younkin was a shining star at our wedding. He was friendly and a lot of fun. My husband is a traditional person while I am more fun loving. Marty provided both aspects to our wedding. Many guest asked if Marty was a family friend because he made everything about us and it felt like he had known us for years. Most guest said he did a fantastic job. Not only that, our ceremony vendor knew him really well and they were able to work with him easily. I would recommend to any bride to meet Marty. if you don't click with Marty, he has several others officiants that might make you happy on your wedding day.

Marty has a great personality, he met with us as many times as we wanted and was always very happy to do so. He has seen it all, and shared with us exactly what to expect, and he went out of his way to make sure that everything we wanted hapenned. I cannot recommend him enough.
Marty is a very funny guy, we told him that we definitly wanted our ceremony to be fun. He poked fun at me (the groom) in a loving way and he made our day VERY special.
We chose every aspect of our ceremony, we mixed and matched readings,blessings, etc and even added our own poem into the ceremony, Marty took this mis-match of parts and turend it into a beautiful funny loving ceremony.
Everyone loved Marty and thought he did a fantastic job, he made everyone laugh and cry. Great guy!

I was a nervous reck..two months before my wedding and I didnt even have an officiant. Mr Younkin came to my rescue-as soon as I put in my request he was calling me to book the date. The day of the wedding was stressful and full of surprises, but if there was one thing that I did right, it was who I selected to be our officiant. Mr Younkin has patience, professionalism, and HEART! I could not imagine anyone else pleasing me the way he did. He was affordable, but after having him marry me---I would of paid much much more for his services. PLEASE, IF YOUR GETTING MARRIED AND DONT HAVE AN OFFICIANT---HIRE HIM. IT'LL BE THE ONE THING THAT YOU WONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ON YOUR WEDDING DAY. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! JESSICA ZACARIAS-ZARAGOZA

Marty really made our wedding day special. He made himself available for questions and to meet with us before the wedding. During rehearsal, he went over every detail to make sure we had everything we wanted for the wedding and gave us many ideas. He made the ceremony very personalble like he had known us for a while. I have gotten many compliments from the guests about what a great job he did and how he made it fun.
