Friendly and Helpful

My husband and I found Kevin Tripp through online resources. We were thrilled with the experience and his willingness to travel to officiant our wedding that changed locations. He sent a wonderful remembrance package that same week and we get to thank him for being apart of our special day. Would definitely recommend him.

Highly recommend Kevin Tripp!

We highly recommend Kevin Tripp as a wedding officiant. He was our wedding officiant for our 2020 wedding in Sonoma County.
Before the wedding, we met with Kevin to discuss our ceremony. Kevin is gracious, kind-hearted, and humble. Professionally, he is a great balance of both being experienced and completely open to our ideas. Leading up to the wedding, Kevin provided us with detailed potential ceremony scripts we could pick and choose from. He was completely supportive of us crafting our own vows as well. Kevin provided us with information on how to apply for our marriage license and answered other questions we had. On our wedding day, Kevin was jovial, supportive, and calm. He performed the ceremony exactly as we wanted it! After the wedding, Kevin promptly provided us with a beautiful marriage certificate, the official signed certificate, and a transcript of our ceremony. We are very thankful that we decided to have Kevin officiate our wedding.

The perfect ceremony!

From the moment we met Kevin, we could feel his warmth and grace and we knew right away he was the right fit for us. His guidance throughout the process was incredibly valuable. He sent us samples if scripts and helped create a unique and meaningful ceremony that perfectly represented us. We have the most beautiful memories of our ceremony and we just can't thank him enough for being a part of the most special day of our lives.

Couldn't be more happy with Kevin's services. He went above and beyond to put me at ease and made himself available for every step of the process.

From the moment I found Kevin through Googling "officiants", I was delighted. He called right away, discussed what I wanted for the ceremony and worked with me during the 2 weeks until the wedding. His delivery of the customized ceremony was solemn as I wished, and his happiness and good nature showed through from start to finish.

Having Kevin officiate our ceremony was amazing! We were planning our wedding from out of town, and he made himself available by phone to assist us in planning whenever we requested to. He helped us draft our ceremony by providing lots of helpful resources, and then edited it for us. He was a great addition to our special day, and was incredibly reliable. He filed our marriage license and walked us through obtaining our copies internationally. We highly recommend going with Kevin!

Kevin was everything that we could have asked for in an officiant! He was professional, courteous, respectful, flexible, and kept my now husband and I as the primary focus. We were not just "another couple getting married" we were Shawn and Candace. He wanted to know how we met, what our story is, our adventures together, and where we intend to go in life. Not only was he wonderful with us, but also with our friends and family at the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. He was also the most affordable officiant in the region. I would highly recommend Kevin for your wedding too!

I've worked with Kevin a few times and he is a wonderful and professional officiate. His calm, yet authoritative presence has each ceremony flow with passion and emotion. Always easy to recommend him. - Ken
