About

Hi!

I'm Reverend Ken Lane, a wedding officiant based in Virginia Beach.

So.....you're getting married soon?

Yay! I'm super excited for you.... and I really mean that.

I LOVE weddings! And I absolutely LOVE my job. I am one of the very few people who get to help couples (just like yourselves) transform what is all too often a cold, monotonous, boring ceremony into a fun, lively, energetic celebration wherein your true friends and family will be laughing one minute and crying the next; a day that will be remembered for many years to come.

Look, there's several people on this list allowed to perform weddings. Honestly- some of them are really good. A few of them are pretty awesome!

But there's a reason why I've been doing this for many years.

There's a reason why I've officiated over 1500 ceremonies.

There's a reason why I've been ranked in the top 5% of wedding professionals in the United States for the last several years.

But I don't expect you to take my word for it. Go check out my reviews. Read what other couples that I've had the privilege of celebrating with have to say about our time together.

Then reach out to me. Don't wait! Couples sometimes book 2 (or more!) years out. I personally plan EVERY wedding with EVERY couple and I want to spend that time with you so that your most special day will be a genuine reflection of what makes your love for one another beautiful.

The Perfect Officiant!

Ken is a super fun and personable human being! He made sure to sit with us and plan all the details for the ceremony. When it came to rehearsal, he ran it perfectly! Then came the day of the wedding, he made sure to get the marriage license and such without stressing anyone out! He then held the absolute perfect ceremony. He made it fun, heartfelt, emotional, and most importantly personal. He ensured the crowd could hear him while also giving us personal moments. I have never been to a wedding with an officiant who is so lively and vibrant, which is exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. Ken truly made it a memorable day.

You can tell her is a professional with what he does. He knew exactly what to do at every right moment. Even moving out of the way for the first kiss!!

I would 100% recommend Ken Lane to anyone looking for an officiant!

Fun, faith-filled ceremony

Reverend Ken was an incredible officiant! He was professional and responsive. We met for over an hour well before the wedding, so he could get to know us, and he was very focused on understanding our love story and how we got to where we were.

The wedding was hands down the best ceremony I've ever attended. He involved the audience, made it personal, light, and fun, but it reflected our Christian faith. He encouraged us to have a unity ceremony, but not your average one. He suggested a wine box, and it was perfect. Reverend Ken is passionate about his work, and it shows!

Rev Ken is Awesome!

Ken makes a commitment to celebrate you and do it in style for you, how you want it. He won't let your ceremony be boring. Ken has a great voice and can truly enthrall the audience. He's flexible and offers different styles if you're looking for religious traditional or more contemporary services. We had looked at a few different officiants but Ken's website and promotional teaser really got us interested in hiring him for our day. We did not regret having him as he is very easy to work with and really personable.

Rev. Ken Lane is Just Awesome!!

My then fiancé, now husband, and I were looking for someone that could not only cater to our needs, but also keep our guests engaged during our ceremony to make it one to remember. I have been to weddings where the ceremony is a bit of a snooze only because the officiant is reading straight from a book with no personality. Ken's style is very involved and full of excitement. Many of my guests had thought he had known us for years. Thanks again Ken for helping make our day a great one!

Ken's your man.

We needed an officiant fast. After hiring our original officiant shortly after our engagement, we eventually parted ways. Just a month and a half before our wedding, our planner was able to snag Ken Lane — and we're glad she did.

How would we describe Ken? Boisterous, to start, but then what can you expect when your officiant doubles as a professional voice actor?

Ken made things simple for us. He met us for dinner one night, asked all the important questions, and formulated his plan. He was respectful of our wishes, as well as our wishes to include other members of the family. Rehearsal with Ken was quick and painless. And the ceremony — sorry Ken, the CELEBRATION — was beautiful. He made it fun, he made it intimate, and he made it everything we could have hoped for...especially considering he had next to no time to do it.

Ken's great. He helped lay the foundation for what we believe will be a strong, lasting marriage.
