Thank you Keith!

Pricing was clear up front, he was available for all my questions, we chose to write our ceremony and he was great. He offered examples of ceremonies he had used in the past to give us a starting place. We really enjoyed our time with Keith and recommend him 10/10!

The best person I've met

Keith is the greatest person I have ever met. The whole process with him was very smooth and he was so accommodating. I travel for sales all around and my husband is a Diesel mechanic and farmer so it is very difficult to get ahold of us or get us in 1 place at the same time. Keith made it easy for me to do everything by phone or email. (He can and has offered to meet up just my schedule would not allow or its planting season) We also just wanted a union nothing religious with prayer and he was nice to do that for us (though he will do religious if you wanted it) Everything was small and simple just like we like it. He has years of experience has done big weddings, small weddings, and everything in between which I love versatility because he gave me ideas and mentioned things I've never thought about which really helped me in the wedding planning process. I would give him 10 stars 🌟

Very easy to work with. Very affordable.

Keith was very professional. He contacted me before my wedding day and went over exactly what I wanted. He was very helpful in explaining the process and paperwork. He took the paperwork to the courthouse for me. You will not be disappointed.

He worked with us thru hurdles we encountered along the way... Even up until the final moment, standing outside as it began to rain, just so that we could exchange our vows. He didn't just provide a service, he offered a friendship in addition to a loving memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Thanks again,
