    Exceptional in all aspects

    Exceeded our expectations in all aspects. Our date was postponed due to Covid-19. He was flexible in re-scheduling. Kevin is friendly, speaks masterfully, easy to work with, made us laugh and cry during the ceremony, he "one-liners " were awesome and he remembered and re-told some of the stories we told him. He delivered the most beautiful ceremony and so many of the guests also commented. We paid in full prior to Covid-19 and even though his prices slightly increased (from $300.00 to $325.00), he never charged us the extra - saying "we are all in this together" and he felt under the circumstances with was unethical for him to charge the increase) Thank you for such a memorable day.

    Unbelievable

    We had a Christmas Fairy Tale Wedding!!! Kevin was beyond exceptional. We immediately knew we wanted him to officiate our ceremony. His personality is truly heartfelt and his desire to deliver the ceremony we dreamed of was evident from the beginning. Dozens of people commented on how personalized and beautiful our ceremony was. He took the time to get to know us. "Our Story" came shining through in our ceremony. Highly recommend him.

    Very impressed with the service we received. We planned our wedding within weeks due to a job transfer. We were never rushed and Reverend Mason was patient and kind. Our ceremony had romance, laughter and reflected who we are as a couple. I would definitely recommend Rev. Mason. (I'm not a religious person and at first was skeptical about him being a Minister.....Don't let that fool you. He is the most liberal person and wanted to give us exactly what we wanted. And he did just that!!!!

    I'm saddened that our wedding day came so quickly and was over quickly. For me, the ceremony was very important. I did not want cookie cutter or the run of the mill ceremony. I received more than I bargained for with Kevin. We met several times and he took notes as he asked questions. We read our ceremony prior to the actual date to ensure everything was as we wanted. Hank and I have outgoing personalities and wanted humor as well as sensitivity combined in our wedding ceremony. I laughed so hard I almost peed myself, then I was crying tears of joy. He was EXCELLENT in every aspect. We almost didn't choose him because he is an ordained minister and we thought maybe too much religion or the mention on God, I must say he gave us what we wanted and then some. Look no further for a reverend/minister. You simply can't do better than Buffalo Marriage Ceremony. From beginning to end, the experience was flawless. Now wonder he is within the top three officiants in our area!

    Thank you,

    My daughter, Julieanna was married on 5/6/2016 in Buffalo NY, she resides in SC. Her fiancee is in the military and we had four months to plan this wedding around his military schedule and her school/work schedule. My husband, sister and I did all the "leg work" inn Buffalo. The venue recommended Reverend Mason. THANK YOU GOD!!!!! He accommodated us and was miles beyond our expectations. He did conference calls, skyped and provided Julianna and us a written transcript. In December of 2015 my mother passed away suddenly. He included her in the ceremony. Simply, I can not say enough about the ceremony and the guests even raved. All in all, the ceremony was 1/2 with two readings, a unity candle and a ring blessing. Matthew, my now son-in-law is in the Army and Rev. Mason acknowledged his service to our country through a handshake and a poem. One minute you are laughing, then we brings you to tears; (joyful tears). He was a God sent to us. I would, without doubt or hesitation highly recommend Buffalo Marriage Ceremony. Thank You Reverend Mason. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!

    We were married in September 2015 in Hamburg, NY at the Brierwood Country Club. Reverend Kevin Mason of Buffalo Marriage Ceremony performed the ceremony. He was recommended by a friend and he was fantastic. We wanted a short ceremony, no religious references with some one-liner jokes and a short and sweet “how they met” story. He was flexible with all suggestions we made. We had a consultation meeting then had the ceremony scripted and approved prior to our wedding. Kevin was a bold speaker that carried his voice to everyone even without a microphone. He read the jokes but ended the ceremony with some beautiful words. His price was very reasonable for our so-called civil ceremony due to its short length. I would recommend his services.

    We were married at Becker Farms in Gasport NY. The venue was perfect from every point of view. They recommended Buffalo Marriage Ceremony. Kevin met with us, asked us questions, and put together a beautiful ceremony we will never forget. I was amazed at his one liners and personality. He responded to our calls/e-mails, usually within minutes but definitely the same day. He reassured us of everything for the ceremony. We had 175 at the ceremony/reception and most commented on the ceremony and indicated it was the best ceremony they ever attended. He was personable, friendly, spoke very well and always smiled. Thank you Becker Farms and Rev. Kevin of BUffalo Marriage Ceremony for making our day so special.

    My daughter was married at the Hotel Lafayette and Kevin Mason/Buffalo Marriage Ceremony officiated the ceremony. The actual ceremony lasted about 1/2 hour. He was accommodating, friendly and very helpful from beginning to end. I would recommend him to officiate a ceremony. he spoke slowly, clearly and interjected a few "one-liners". He seems to have a good personality. At the end, he spoke to everyone about love, family and commitment. This was not scripted. I accompanied my daughter Laura to all the consultations and we soon left like he was part of the family. Her ceremony and reception was flawless from beginning to end. Many compliments.

    All I can really say is that John and I were thrilled with our Ceremony. We were married in the Woods in East Aurora and we had a Hand Fasting Ritual. We had difficulty finding someone who would honor our requests. Rev. Kevin didn't even blink an eye!!! In fact, he came up with most of the ideas and the best readings. He more than exceeded our expectations and was professional, prompt and affordable. You will not go wrong with him. Thank you for sharing our vision and spirituality. Our Wedding Ritual was awesome.

    Alex and I were married on July 13, 2013 in Hamburg NY at the home of his Aunt/Uncle. Rev. Mason/Buffalo Marriage Ceremony performed the ceremony. We were able to have the ceremony scripted and approved prior to our wedding. We thought that was great. We had a glitch with the DJ and the microphone cutting in and out at the beginning of the ceremony. Kevin turned the microphone off and spoke without it. Standing so close to him, it seemed like he was shouting, but he really was not. Everyone heard and complimented on the ceremony. He delivered the ceremony we wanted. I really would recommend him to any couple looking for a Reverend/Officiant. I will say, being a Minister, he was extremely liberal and most flexible. Thank you for all your assistance and guidance in the initial phases of planning our wedding.

    We were married on June 22, 2013 at Island Park. We actually found Buffalo Marriage Ceremony on line, only to find a co-work who also used Kevin to officiate her wedding. From start to finish, our experience was flawless. I would best describe him as a "gentle soul". He guided us through the process and even conducted a rehearsal. He wrote out our ceremony for approval. He spoke so nice during the ceremony. He has a great personality and he came through. During our half hour ceremony, we laughed and cried. He more than exceeded our expectations in every aspect. In fact, we had many compliments on our ceremony. We believe he was extremely reasonable and accommodating with our requests. Thank you for a beautiful start to married life.

    We were married on June 15, 2013 by Reverend Kevin Mason of Buffalo Marriage Ceremony. We would highly refer any couple to Kevin. He was exceptional in every aspect. When David read his vows to me, I started to tear, Rev. Mason handed me a Kleenex !!!!! We also had microphone problems and I was afraid our guests would not hear the ceremony. He adjusted his voice and all 125 heard the ceremony. We appreciated the fact that he was so flexible and patient. The ceremony more than exceeded our expectations in every way.

    I just started to write thank you notes/cards to our guests at our wedding, which was on June 8th. So, I thought I would write a review on Buffalo Marriage Ceremony in hopes to help another couple. We found Kevin on the internet, Wedding Wire to be specific. He mailed information and then we scheduled an appointment. First off, Will and I both noticed he was very mild mannered and seemed sincere, knowledgeable, and very articulate. We decided to hire him to officiate our wedding. He was awesome. He let us incorporate our own wording, ideas and music into the ceremony. We actually proof read our ceremony prior to our wedding. Several people commented on his personality. Toward the end of the ceremony, he spoke, without his book to us and our guests. He briefly re-told a story we shared with him. I actually started to tear a little. He was wonderful in every aspect. I can not imagine any couple would not be happy with his services. A co-worker/friend is getting married in 2014 and already booked him. In a nut shell, he was excellent and we will always appreciate how he assisted us. By the way, the fee was $200.00, Will and I thought it was such a value. Many Thanks.

    My name is Michael Reid and my husband is Edward Robbins. Our union was June 8, 2013 at our North Buffalo Home. Upon contacting Kevin, we explained what we wanted as well as what we didn't want. We had about 50 people attend and everyone commented on what a wonderful ceremony he provided. He was always professional, courteous, prompt and articulate. We appreciate the fact that he was non-judgmental and so accommodating in every aspect. We would highly suggest considering Kevin for your ceremony.

    Thank You Reverend Kevin - you will always be thought of fondly.

    We were very fortunate to find Buffalo Marriage Ceremony. Kevin was always professional and came up with great ideas and suggestions. I wanted a meaningful ceremony, a ceremony that really represented Ken and I and our lives. At first he asked a lot of questions; how did we meet, how long we dated, our funniest dating story, how Ken proposed, etc. At first I thought Hmmm?. He incorporated some religious elements, some readings, and shared some of our stories we shared with him. I can't believe how he listened and remembered everything. We had a smaller wedding, about 100 people and many commented on the ceremony and his personality. Toward the end of the ceremony, he asked us to face our family & friends, he came around the side of us and talked for a moment about family, relationships and marriage. To our surprise, he asked our grandparents to stand and our parents, congratulated them on there long marriages. He is very personal and sincere.

    All I can say is that the start of our married life was beautiful and meaningful. Oh yea, Ken just reminded me he even talked about Ken's "addiction" to playing golf, so he suggested I become an all -pro shopper!!!!! It was so funny.

    Thank you,

    Our ceremony was better than expected. For $250.00 we met with Rev. Mason 4 times and received a written transcript of our ceremony to proof read. He was always prompt, prfessional and actually very funny. He added the right aount of seriousness and humor to our ceremony. At the end, he spoke, with no script to our parents and us like we were old friends. Wethought this was such a nice personal touch.

    We would recommend Buffalo Marriage Ceremony to anyone.
