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!

We are so thankful we found Ken Bowers with Upstate Wedding Officiant for our wedding ceremony. From the very beginning, Ken made the entire process feel personal, easy, and meaningful. Before our special day, he held meetings with us to truly get to know us as a couple, which made such a difference when it came time for our ceremony.

Ken created a ceremony that felt personal, intimate, and completely true to us. He included all of the elements that were important to us, while also adding special moments of his own that made the ceremony even more meaningful. It never felt generic or rushed. It felt thoughtful, intentional, and beautifully centered around our love and commitment.

He also guided us through every step of the legal side of getting married. Ken helped us with the application process, walked us through the signing, handled the paperwork, and submitted the official certificate for us. That peace of mind was such a blessing, especially during an elopement.

Because we eloped, it was just Ken, our photographer, and the two of us. Even with such a small ceremony, Ken made the moment feel full, sacred, and complete. Without him, we truly could not have done it. He played such an important role in making our wedding day smooth, personal, and unforgettable.

We would absolutely recommend Ken to any couple looking for an officiant who is kind, professional, organized, and deeply intentional. He helped make our ceremony everything we hoped it would be.

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.

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!!!

Pastor Bob truly made our ceremony so special and memorable! I couldn’t imagine our day without him part of it! Me. Ken made the process so seamless and was so kind and compassionate through out the entire process. We are so grateful for both of them and how perfectly the fit into our special day!

Ken was amazing to work with! He walked us through every step and stayed in contact before the wedding.

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!!

Ken and Pastor Bob worked with us to make sure we had the ceremony we wanted. Pastor Bob delivered a beautiful ceremony and Ken helped behind the scenes to ensure our marriage licenses were acquired and filed in the most timely manner!! They were fantastic to work with!

Ken help us keep things organized and created a perfect ceremony script for us. He also guided us through the entire marriage license and name change process. Pastor Bob officiated our wedding and did an amazing job. All of our guests raved about how well he did and really read the crowd. Would definitely recommend!

Ken was awesome. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted. He guided us through each step and made sure that we were happy with the venue. Can’t say enough good things about Ken and would totally recommend him for your wedding.
