About

Uniquely Yours Wedding Services is a seasoned officiant service for weddings situated in Neptune, New Jersey. We are Ken and Pattie Manuel, and we would love to be considered as the officiants for your wedding. We are both ordained and licensed to give you the wedding of your dreams. We have been ordained since 2008. Since then, we have had the honor and pleasure of performing numerous ceremonies all over the State of New Jersey. We have also performed weddings in other states, including Massachusettes and Maryland.

We are incredibly in love, and like most happily married couples, we want everyone to be as happy as we are. We are ordained as non-denominational ministers, but we are capable of and able to perform religious ceremonies as well.

We believe that your wedding should be exactly what you want it to be, whether it is a fun and relaxed ceremony or a serious, somber one. We will work with you to make your day as close to perfect as humanly possible. We will take your ideas and dreams and incorporate them into the service. We pride ourselves on the fact that out of all the services we have performed, no two have ever been the same.

We believe that everyone's love story is unique. However, if you prefer a standard service, you have that option. Our goal is to make your wedding stress free for you so that when the big day comes, you can rest assured that your service will be exactly what you wish. A ceremony that truly is "Uniquely Yours."

Simply Incredible!

Ken and Pattie are the best officiants (and people) anyone could ask for. Every aspect of what they do for the wedding before, during, and after the ceremony is of the highest standard. They bring a state of calmness, care, and great attention to detail to your ceremony. They genuinely want to know about you, your spouse, and your families, and want to bring those aspects into your wedding. Pattie and Ken are two wonderful people who will make your day special. We can’t thank them enough!

Personalized ceremony created for us! Ken and Patty took the time to get to know us as a couple and allowed us to choose the ceremony that best fit us. Everyone is still talking about how perfect our vows were. From beginning to end, Uniquely Yours made sure our ceremony was just that, Uniquely ours. Beyond happy with everything and highly recommend. If you are looking for a personalized experience and stress free planning, look no further.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Pattie and Ken Manuel. What made them stand out to us is that they made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. In fact, that is how we met them in the first place. I was walking around a bridal show while my then fiance spoke to another vendor. Pattie saw that I looked a little out of place, and made conversation with me. After speaking for a while, my fiance came over and we had a nice discussion. It was evident to us from that moment that we would chose the Manuels to perform our ceremony.

The Manuels provided support whenever needed, and did not pressure us to complete the draft of our ceremony until we were ready. They offered their support and assistance during the rehearsal and on wedding day, and performed the ceremony masterfully. Thanks in part to Mr. and Mrs. Manuel, our wedding day was a beautiful and memorable. We are grateful that we had the opportunity to meet and work with such wonderful people.

I can not say enough good things about Pattie and Ken! They are AMAZING to work with. Pattie designed our ceremony using our input and we could not have done it without her help. They met with us and got to know us as a couple and were really able to put our "fairytale" into words. They were very responsive to any and all questions and assisted me in my planning process. Pattie was a lifesaver because at many times during our wedding planning I was feeling stressed and anxious and she was there for me when I needed her. Our family and friends still talk about our ceremony and how lovely it was and how great Ken was on our wedding day.

They even threw in a special surprise during our wedding and put in a little example of why we wear our wedding band on our "ring finger". All of our guests were encouraged to join us as we used our hands and Ken explained why our bonds would be FOREVER. Ask them about this little "extra" something. WE LOVED IT and SO DID OUR GUESTS!! I was so happy those chose to make this a part of our ceremony!

We loved our day, and it wouldn't have been the same without Pattie & Ken! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE!!

I can't say enough about Pattie and Kenny. They are so in love that it shows, and they do everything in their power to bless the married couple with that love. My wife and I had the most beautiful ceremony; to this day, people cannot stop raving about how touching it was. We trusted them completely to give us a wonderful ceremony, and they delivered. They were prompt to all our meetings, and were never more than an email away. Pattie always responds the second she receives the email, which really made us feel that she cared about our special day. They were kind, generous, loving and so happy to give us a ceremony that we will never, ever forget. Thank you, Pattie and Kenny. You will forever be etched into our memories!

We met Ken and Pattie at my sister's wedding as her officiant. We liked the way they performed...profession, great service and guided every family member before her ceremony. Everything went smooth and great which we wanted for our wedding also. So my sister contacted pattie for me and she responded me right away. We live in New York so Pattie arranged to meet us in Perth Amboy so that we didn't have to drive all the way to south Jersey. We are Chinese and never attended American wedding except my sister's, Ken & Pattie explained us which ceremony represent what. All we had to do was told Pattie our story, get supply for our ceremony and she took care of everything. Our ceremony went well as we were expected. Their price are also resonable... Pattie and Ken are not only performing wedding ceremony as an officiant, as a duty, it more like come from their heart. They understand the stress from preparing a wedding and give us one less thing to worry which was one of important part of a wedding... ceremony. I would definetly recommend anyone who wants a perfect ceremony...

One of my best friends had recommended Uniquely Yours Wedding Services in Neptune New Jersey to use as our Officiant. Pattie and Ken were the easiest people to work with!!! They help you through the entire process of the vows and ceremony. They made it so there was one less thing to worry about, which I really appreciated. They directed the whole rehearsal which helped my husband and I out a ton. I would recommend them to everyone and anyone. They are very very reasonable in price and you get custom written vows! Pattie and Ken are one of a kind! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pattie and Ken were amazing during the whole process. Just from her email and then meeting them for the first time, we were assured that they would do a great job. We wanted something that wasn't religious, funny yet still serious enough for an official ceremony - and it was a great ceremony. Many people had teary eyes and asked us if we had written the ceremony ourselves. I wish I could have taken the credit for it, but it was all Pattie and Ken. They are very reliable, pleasant to work with, accommodating and understanding - which is want you need in all the vendors when you are trying to plan your wedding. Thanks, Pattie & Ken. Happy New Year to you as well.

Our special day is a day we will never forget. Patti and Kenny made it even more special with their love and dedication in what they do and how they do it. Just a small example of their dedication and commitment in what they do, a week prior to our wedding, Kenny was diagnosed with pneumonia. Patti called us almost every day and guaranteed us that our ceremony was still on. On the day of our wedding and still not feeling 100% well; Kenny along with his lovely wife Patti performed the most beautiful ceremony ever! That's true dedication and love in what you do for others. May God bless the two of you always. You are truly awesome; thank you for everything. We love you! Lucy & Simon

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
