10/10 Pre-marital Counseling + Officiating

Brian did our premarital counseling and officiated our wedding and he was phenomenal! He has an incredibly calming demeanor and is truly impartial in his counseling which created a safe space for us to open up. He was very thoughtful in his officiating as well and took the time to personalize the ceremony which made it feel extra special. We highly recommend Brian!

Amazing Experience!

My wife and I absolutely loved working with Brian. He did premarital counseling with us, and he was such a safe, wise place to walk through so much of our marriage preparation. Honestly, I don't know what we would have done without him! He was able to speak well to both of our (very different!) histories and help us navigate what it's like to bring out lives together. Can't say enough good things about him. Highly recommend!

Brian is a great Coach!

We are so thankful for our sessions with Brian and for the care he poured into our sessions. Brian was sensitive, empathetic and caring to us and the topics we wanted to talk about. We appreciate and will treasure the nuggets of wisdom he spoke into entering marriage season. He also shared so much of his own personal experiences and stories with us, which helped bring concepts to real life practice!

Best Pre-marital Counsellor EVER

Looking for a pre-marital counsellor was a very daunting process early in our relationship (pre-engagement) and our research turned up some ambiguous and expensive options. Brian was recommended to us by three independent sources so we had a good feeling, which was confirmed when he was responsive, warm and professional right from first contact. We purchased the pre-marital bundle which was incredible value and went in with high expectations. Brian surpassed even those expectations by quickly finding a balance between striking up rapport and doing the necessary work. We loved speaking to him so much that we spread out our sessions well into marriage because we didn't want to say goodbye! Thanks to Brian, we had a safe space to discuss culture, finances, and preferences with helpful structure. We felt we were learning every time, filling our emotional tank and having fun. He had a great system to book appointments that worked with our irregular schedules. He would have been a fantastic officiant if we didn't have a number of ordained ministers in the family. We are so grateful and invested in his success, that we would recommend working with Brian on anything in a heartbeat.

An Excellent Guide!

Brian conducted our pre-marital counseling. His wisdom, demeanor, and easy-going personality were the perfect blend as we prepared for this life changing season. He guided us as we worked through expectations, effective communication, and even spicy conversations around spousal roles and finances. My husband and I felt more ready for marriage after our 6 pre-marital sessions with him.

A few years later when we were going through deciding whether it was the right time to grow our family, we met with Brian for a few sessions again. He helped us clarify our vision and values as a family and equipped us with tools as we would navigate the ups and downs of trying to conceive.

If you’re looking not only for a wedding officiant but also someone who will partner with you as you experience the dynamic, multi-dimensional aspects of marriage, I 10/10 recommend Brian Kim.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
