Everything we hoped for and more!

We were at a loss for who to officiate our wedding but found Ken through our venue and checked out reviews on Wedding Wire. After our initial meeting, we thought he seemed like a good fit and decided to move forward. Ken was a consummate professional and made the entire process seamless, from finding the right service for us to customizing it to our needs. He also saved the day when I realized at the 11th hour that I didn't have our marriage license and very calmly told me exactly what I needed to do and when. He did a beautiful job with the ceremony and even injected a little humor, which was a perfect fit for our personalities and a fun surprise for our guests, who absolutely loved it! He takes care of everything and even follows up with a resource email on how to begin the name change process, request a certified copy of the license, etc. With Ken as our officiant, we knew we were in good hands and that we had one less thing to worry about, which is all a bride ever really wants :) I cannot recommend him enough!

Best Decision

Ken was a wonderful officiant for our wedding. From our first Zoom call to follow up emails guiding us through the paperwork, and writing a ceremony that made it feel like we had known each other for years. Ken puts everyone at ease and was one of the best decisions we made for our special day.

Absolutely amazing!!

Ken was an absolutely amazing officiant!!! We couldn’t ask for better. He sent a wedding script to us that we reviewed and tweaked if needed prior to our wedding; was beyond helpful in obtaining our marriage license (step by step instructions); and all other necessary info we needed before & after our big day. He took care of mailing our licenses to the court house the next day. Ken made our day so perfect, the ceremony was beautiful & so personal. He included so many details & made sure we had a fun time. 10/10 would recommend everyone!!!

Thank you Pastor Bob!

Thank you Ken and Pastor Bob for a wonderful wedding ceremony! Pastor Bob was so helpful in drafting up an emotional and personal wedding script that left myself, my husband, and our guests in tears. He asked the right questions and was able to format our ceremony to our exact specifications and also brought in the right amount of humor and religious aspects for us. Thank you again!!
