We absolutely loved our experience!!!! He was humorous and loving! We had to marry quickly because my wife is in the Navy, he happily did our ceremony during his after hours and made it very rememberable and beautiful. When we have our big wedding , definitely considering having him again! He’s awesome !!!!

Mr. Michael Kuzma is outstanding! In March when my high school sweet heart completed Basic Training for the US Army proposed to me I had to do my research for a good officiant. He was stationed at Fort Eustis, VA for AIT training for 4 months so our plan was to get married the day before he graduated. With him being in the Army you never know what changes you'll have to make. I originally booked a small ceremony with Mr. Kuzma for July 20 at 11am. Months later my fiancee told me that he won't be able to get free time until 3pm is what one of his Sergeants said. So I immediately touched based with Mr. Kuzma to let him know what happened and he was willing to work with me and gave me tips on how to make it go smoothly and quickly since he's been in business for so long and is very familiar with Army time. He was so very kind to push our appointment time to 4pm and was even willing to go on base to marry us if needed. With only a mere couple of days away from getting married and traveling from St. Louis, MO to Newport News, VA I followed all of Mr. Kuzma's steps and it was all very easy. The morning of July 20th I get a call from Bruce saying that he isn't sure what time he will be able to get out so we had a big delimma and I immediately contacted Mr. Kuzma and with him being such an angel he pushed our appointment all the way to 7:30pm that night. Bruce had to report back to base by 8:30pm and Mr. Kuzma assured us that it won't take very long at all. My family, Bruce's family all got there and Mr. Kuzma being there with a smile and open arms I was so relieved. The ceremony was beautiful and he made it so personal and sweet. He gave us tips for a ever lasting marriage as well and I can not thank this sweet man enough. I thank him so much for being so patient and understanding through all of this with us. I honestly recommend you go with to this sweet, funny, patient, kind man for all of your wedding officiant needs. He is such a blessing! Thank you so much Mr. Kuzma!!

Mr. Kuzma was amazing. He was entertaining and really funny. He was very prompt. We went to city hall at 10:30 and got our paperwork in. He was able to fit us in at before 11:30. His speech when he married us was beautiful and he personalized it for us. It would recommend him to officiate any couple.

Michael Kuzma was wonderful. He was able to set aside time last minute on his Sunday to perform our ceremony. Michael walked us through the process, asked us about ourselves and our relationship. He was understanding and very sweet, did not push any particular religion or oppionated views on us, and made sure it was a magical moment. His wording of the ceremony was personalized, we laughed, cried, and smiled. After the ceremony he signed the papers, and his girlfriend took a lot of wonderful pictures for us! Simple, quick, personable on the date we needed. Couldn't have asked for anything better!

Our experience along with the attention to detail, comfort and peace of mind was given us on our most special day by the Honorable Michael Kuzma.

We cannot begin to explain the gratefulness and appreciation towards your calling, but, with knowing without a doubt - the way you were used by the Holy Spirit on that day; to be moved to speak the words given us, YOU were surely moved by God to speak the words of wisdom you spoke and by that we are humbled.

Thank you for your prayers and thank you for your love, patience and for working with us. You took an amazing amount of pressure off of our shoulders and onto your own and we thank God for you. May The Lord ever bless and keep you and your household. Again, we request you give our thanks to your bride of many years for allowing us to take your time away to bless our union. You will forever remain in our prayers and thanks.

We love you!!

Mr. & Mrs. Bobby & Cedrica Pate!!!!

He was a blessing to us and we are sure he will be a blessing to you as well.

Thank you seems hardly sufficient as a way to express our gratitude for Mr. Kuzma’s service. Mr. Kuzma married us within a week of our request and helped us create the most memorable experience for my wife’s only living grandparent, and to our surprise went out of his way to help us make our wedding happen in less than 4 days and right before a holiday weekend! Mr. Kuzma was wonderful, professional and fun and by virtue of his presence and desire to make a civil ceremony something more than just a recitation of legalese made our special moment even more unforgettable. He is a gem and we would highly recommend his services! Thank you Mr. Kuzma – it was an absolutely perfect moment!

He was kind enough to bless our marriage and accommodate our closness with god. We are very pleased with this experience and would recommend mr kuzma to anyone. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. We are sooooooooooooo happy to be husband and wife! This was such an easy process too. No hassle just happiness.

Mr. Kuzma,
>
> It was an absolute pleasure to meet with you and have you join my husband and I together in Holy matrimony. You were more considerate than I could have hoped for, trying to meet our vision without charging us an arm and leg :) You looked out for us as if we were your own children. Thank you. You made the ceremony lively and added humor and flair. Thank you so much for even wearing red, white and blue to honor our military service. I was touched by that…we both were. In addition, you were gracious enough to let our best friend watch the ceremony all the way from Korea, even though we had been running behind schedule. There are no words to express our gratitude so we will have to settle by saying thank you so much for your guidance, consideration and lively spirt. I hope that many others have the pleasure of experiencing the joy you bring to any union.
