Great and helpful

Bernard was absolutely great! He always responded when I reached out to him. He gave us ideas on ceremony prompts, but still let us add our own unique ideas. I was nervous about getting the marriage license sent in, but Bernard handled it for us. I 100% recommend him.

Excellent, compassionate, and special officiant 1000% recommend

We were so grateful to have Dr. Glos as our officiant. He allowed us to choose for curated readings during the ceremonies and his words moved my father-in-law, a military veteran, to tears. His delivery was so lovely and professional. He was responsive and reliable and we can't say enough good things. 1000% recommend hiring him to make your day special.

Great secular officiant and a great conversation as well

I was looking for a non-religious officiant and I could not be happier with Bernie. He not only is a great speaker and officiant, he makes it really easy to create a meaningful and beautiful ceremony with his suggestions on quotes and rituals. His voice and speech is impeccable and talking to him before and after the ceremony was a huge bonus. Highly recommend.

Awesome, calm and beautiful, Bernard made our day even more special

Bernard is best, he is very responsive, we also like the complete format that he has structured for vows, for closure etc., it's the best, it's like designing and customizing our own marriage, we loved it. We are an hour late for our marriage, but Bernard was patient and he made it possible for us.
