About

On WeddingWire since 2021

Congratulations! If you are reading this, then you are about to embark upon the wonderful journey of marriage. I get asked why do I (an estate planning lawyer) want to be a wedding officiant. The answer is quite simple. I LOVE WEDDINGS!

Hi. I am Ken Eisner and am excited to help you create a once in a lifetime and memorable experience because that is what your wedding should be. Even if you want a ceremony that is short and simple doesn't mean it can't be personal and meaningful. I make it unique by learning about you and reaching out to your family and friends to make it especially personal. I attempt to combine the perfect amount of the personal touch, along with warmth and humor (I do improvisational comedy as a hobby) so that your friends and family know what a wonderful couple you are. I typically spend about 15 hours preparing each ceremony.

I embrace inclusive ceremonies for all couples, including those of diverse faiths and sexual orientation. My ceremonies include LGBTQ+, non-denominational, interfaith (other than Steelers-Ravens, of course), secular, and Jewish wedding celebrations ( I love to help facilitate a successful hora as well).

While I am based in the Pittsburgh area, I will go anywhere to make your ceremony special and love destination weddings! Also, check out my website at www.kenimarryyou.com.

My fee depends upon the type of ceremony, rehearsal and geographical limitations but my standard fee is $900 and $1000 with a rehearsal which I highly recommend. I know that this is a bit more than the standard charge but it is due to demand, the limited number of ceremonies I accept, the amount of time I spend preparing for your special day and quite frankly, I am looking to work with couples that care about the ceremony as well as the celebration. If my involvement sounds the least bit appealing, let’s talk. My cell is 412-414-1533.


I hope that we get to work together.

Sincerely, Ken (I Marry You?)

Established the perfect tone for our ceremony and wedding day

We had the most incredible experience with Ken as our wedding officiant!

Ken brought an unmatched level of professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm to our ceremony. His attention to detail was impeccable, and he took the time to connect with our closest friends and family to really understand our love story, making our ceremony uniquely personal and meaningful.

What truly sets Ken apart is his ability to strike the perfect balance between heartfelt emotion and a touch of humor. He crafted a ceremony that had everyone in tears one moment and bursting with laughter the next, creating a truly magical atmosphere.

Ken was not just a person performing a ceremony; he became an integral part of our special day. His calming presence helped ease our nerves, and his words resonated with everyone present, making our ceremony an unforgettable experience for all. We received countless compliments from our guests about how beautifully Ken conducted the ceremony. Many remarked that it was the most touching and memorable wedding ceremony they had ever attended.

If you're looking for a wedding officiant who is not only professional and organized but also genuinely cares about making your ceremony unique and special, look no further than Ken I Marry You. He exceeded all our expectations, and we are forever grateful for the role he played in making our wedding day perfect

The Best Decision We Made

From the moment we first met with Ken when picking an officiant for our wedding, we knew that he was perfect for what we wanted for our ceremony. Since our wedding, we have gotten endless compliments on our ceremony and that it was the best ceremony our guests have ever seen and that it perfectly captured our relationship. The extra effort that Ken took to speak with our friends and family and beautifully incorporate it into our ceremony was next level.

For those thinking about booking with Ken, just do it! You will not regret it. We feel incredibly honored to have had Ken be part of our day and he exceeded every expectation that we had. On top of being a top-notch vendor and someone to work with, Ken is also a truly admirable person and we feel very lucky to know him.

Made our ceremony perfect!

We recently used Ken as the officiant for our wedding and it was a wonderful experience. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, reached out to friends and family to know more about our story, and made sure that our personalities and love were highlighted in the ceremony. We asked that Ken incorporate a few religious elements and he did so while making it feel comfortable and authentic to us. From start to finish, Ken made the process easy and enjoyable. He really takes the time to get to know the couples with whom he works and is someone who cares deeply about “getting it right” for the big day. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and we recommend Ken I Marry You to any couple!

Hi! I am blessed to have an amazing wife Jodi and two phenomenal daughters Carly and Jamie. We also have two great dogs, Riley and Lily.

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the Woodland Hills area. I went to Penn State (We are…!) where I announced play by play football at the student station. Upon graduation from Penn State, I attended George Washington University Law school.

I began practicing law in September, 1984 and have over thirty five years’ experience in business law, health care law, estate planning and administration, and alternative dispute resolution.. Yes, kinda boring stuff.

Because the practice of law is let’s say not the most scintillating thing ever, I have several hobbies, including doing improvisational comedy, making creative but often awful drinks, and working out. I am also a mentor for students at the Penn State Liberal Arts program as well as a past president of my Reform Jewish synagogue Temple Ohav Shalom.

A dear cousin of mine asked me to officiate her wedding. While I expected it to be a one and done experience, I enjoyed it so much and received so much positive feedback that I decided to make it a second career. So here we are! I hope that I get the opportunity to help make your special day spectacular!
