We found him through the knot.com and are very glad to have him as our officiant.
We are very impressed by his professionalism. He is very responsive to our questions and we usually get an answer within several hours. He is definitely very experienced and well prepared for every occasion, from speeches to customized ceremonies. He knows exactly how to handle the crowd and knows how much time is needed. Everything is within schedule and meets our expectation.

Larry also makes himself very flexible to our need in terms of the ceremony. We were able to make multiple changes to the speech and he always tries his best to accommodate our needs, including the part that we requested him to perform a small portion of the speech in Chinese.

At the end of the day, another happy couple was married on 10/23/16 and we are very satisfied with the service provided by Larry.

We were really happy with Reverend Larry. Very responsive and on the ball. We weren't as focused as we should have been on the ceremony details and he kept us on task with follow up e-mails. He had lots of ceremony examples ready for us to pick and choose from to put together exactly what we wanted. Within days of our first meeting he emailed us a draft of our complete ceremony for feedback.

Very relaxed and funny ceremony. A plane flew overhead as he started the ceremony and he handled it very well. Would recommend him highly to my friends.

We highly recommend Larry/Bands of Gold as your wedding officiant. He couldn't have been nicer when meeting with my fiance and doing a video chat (out of state) with me to get to know us a bit. When the day came, Larry was early to arrive and helped smooth out last minute details with the reception hall. He made our family and friends comfortable and guided us through a wonderful ceremony.

Larry Adler at Bands of Gold was amazing. We had to plan our wedding from out of state and he worked with us over email and skype to make sure we got everything we wanted. The ceremony was not only special and heartfelt, but Larry made it fun and we even had a few laughs in there! We loved the services we received and would recommend Larry to any of our friends looking for an officiant! He also offers a military discount, which we thought was wonderful since my husband is active duty. Thank you Larry!!!

Larry saved the day after my other officiant decided not to work with us! He was perfect. I wrote my own ceremony and vows and he worked with us to make it wonderful. He was funny at all the right moments without being overly funny(he asked us before hand how to be which I thought was very kind of him). I started tearing up and he was able to make me laugh so I could finish! Larry also has his own microphone so everyone could hear!! I must have had 15 guests say it was the best ceremony!!

We chose Larry to perform our ceremony as soon as we had our first meeting with him. His easygoing manner was perfect for us and we felt comfortable with him from the start. He had all kinds of suggestions for making the ceremony special. We chose one of his sample ceremonies and he did not at all have a problem with us making changes and adding readings of our own. On the day of (a morning, at home ceremony) Larry arrived early, making sure we were ready and allaying any nerves. As the ceremony was in our house, guests were milling about and our family and friends enjoyed chatting with him as we waited for additional guests to arrive. (Larry had warned us that an in house wedding never starts on time!)

The ceremony was exceptional -- throughout Larry took his time, making sure we were able to get through it despite our nerves. It was a perfect mix of solemn, romantic and lighthearted. You will not be disappointed if you choose him -- he will provide a perfect start to your perfect day!

We are extremely happy with our decision to use Larry! From the moment we met with him, he was very patient and went over every detail with us. He made the process extremely easy and stress free. He arranged everything with our vendor and organized everything the day of. The ceremony was perfect! He really created the relaxed atmosphere we wanted and put all of our concerns at ease. Our guests really appreciated his sense of humor as well. I highly recommend Larry!!

June 29th Wedding

Larry was great to work with and always responded to our questions very quickly. Our first officiant fell through and we were very lucky to find Larry about a month before our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
