Reverend Kent was a simply amazing officiant and even greater person to have the pleasure to work with. Any time that my wife and I had questions about procedures and ways to enhance the ceremony, Kent was quick to respond and was willing to set aside any amount of time we required to make sure that we were comfortable. As for the ceremony, we could not have asked for anything better. Kent gave beautiful, personalized speeches and kept things moving seamlessly. I believe that the best endorsement that I can give is that after the ceremony, a groomsman pulled me aside to ask how many years I had known Kent, in complete disbelief that an officiant we had only met a handful of times could speak about our relationship as if he had known us from its beginning.
I cannot recommend Kent highly enough!

Greatest Officiant!
Let me just say that Reverend Kent Foster was THE ABSOLUTE BEST to officiate our wedding. He brought so many great ideas to the table and guided us through everything. He was so accommodating when I changed things a couple times at the last minute and was happy to go with whatever we wanted and it turned out beautifully at the wedding. He gets to know you and feels like he is part of the family. Very reasonable price and always communicated so you're never left wondering anything. I HIGHLY recommend him!! Thank you!!!

Rev. Kent Foster was absolutely amazing!
Rev. Kent Foster took the time to sit with us multiple times during the planning, gave us great options for the service and really cared about what was best for us! Even with the last minute hiccups with our venue, he was able to help have a great service! Would absolutely recommend to all my friends and family. As for the vows, he took the time to deliver a heart felt, sincere ceremony, both me and my wife were very touched!

Great experience!
Rev. Kent was fabulous throughout the wedding planning process and he put together a beautiful ceremony tailored to what we envisioned. He met with us several times before the big day to fully understand our vision, answer our many questions, and make us feel comfortable leading up to the big day. I would definitely recommend hiring him for your wedding!

Rev Foster really takes his profession very serious. He takes time to meet up with the couple and gets to know you well before your ceremony.
Rev Kent Foster was awesome. He is very down to earth, friendly and a very wise counselor. He schedules meeting to get to know the couple and get information on your dream wedding.
Highly recommend him.

Best Decision of Our Wedding
Reverend Kent! Where do I begin!? Reverend Kent was amazing and very pleasant to work with. When we first got on a call with him, we were so lost with what to do with the vows and the process of marriage license. He was very patient with us. He walked us through the whole process and answered any questions we had. He was great at following up on upcoming tasks. It was a huge help as wedding got closer, I was too busy with lots of moving things. We also had him over for our rehearsal as well. He was very friendly to all our friends and family. Same during the wedding. I don’t remember a single moment when he didn’t have smile on his face. He performed a great ceremony. He was very warm, kind, and sweet during the ceremony and after. Having him to marry us was one of the best decisions we made. I don’t have enough words to thank him, but I still want to say thanks to Reverend Kent to make our wedding so special for us.

Wonderful Wedding Ceremony
Kent was the officiant at our microwedding and we couldn't be more grateful that we found him. Kent took the time over multiple video calls prior to the ceremony to get to know us, and even over video he put us at ease and we could tell how seriously he takes making each couple's day unique and special. He listened to what we were looking for, gave suggestions as to how best to structure the ceremony, and the day of he made us and our guests smile, laugh, and cry! He also did a great job of explaining the paperwork aspect of things to ensure we had everything we needed the day of. Couldn't ask for a better person to do your wedding.
An extra shout out to Kent for being super prepared as well - he came with copies of our readings just in case - which ended up coming in handy during the ceremony! Thanks, Kent!

Wedding ceremony expert
Reverend Kent was so wonderful with helping us through every step of our ceremony process. He was able to help us pick readings and gave lots of options and advice for the ceremony format during our meetings leading up to the big day. He is so helpful with small details that you don’t even think about...I didn’t even realize until we got our photos back that he even fixed my train and veil for our recessional!

We are so happy with Reverend Kent and the services he provides. He really made our ceremony extra special and worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. He was flexible to meet our needs that reassured us when we had some uncertainty with our venue. We will look back on our wedding day in the years to come and only have amazing memories, and it all started with the ceremony and Reverend Kent!

Reverend Kent was recommended to us by our DJ. Amidst a sea of wedding to-dos, finding an officiant was relegated to the end of that list. As our very popular October wedding date drew closer, we worried that we wouldn’t be able to secure an officiant who was available, up to the task, and felt right for us.
And our task was likely a bit more challenging than others: neither of us are religious and it was important to us that there were no mentions of prayer or God during our ceremony. That can be a difficult thing for a person of faith to hear, but Kent happily accommodated our request. Secondly, we had some unique family dynamics at play involving divorced parents and step-parents. As such, it was important that we did not favor one more than the other and that everyone was made to feel welcomed and appreciated. Kent’s approach and style ensured that things went smoothly and he did not disappoint.
Kent was responsive, honest, and upfront during the entire planning process. In our eyes, he went above and beyond in some regards by encouraging us to think hard about certain aspects of our ceremony and helped us realize things that would not otherwise have been obvious to us.
We are incredibly thankful to have found Kent on short notice and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an experienced officiant who is kind & professional.

Rev. Kent made our ceremony everything we ever wanted and more. From our first Skype meeting, he made it clear that he was willing to make the ceremony personal and meaningful to us as a couple, and provided us with great ideas that our guests spent the entire reception gushing over. He is upbeat and positive, and was willing to work with us as we tried to adjust the ceremony outline at the last minute to try to beat the rain for an outdoor ceremony. He agreed to play it by ear, and we ended up being able to include everything we wanted because of his flexibility and professionalism. We can't thank Rev. Kent enough for making our dream ceremony a reality!

As parents of the bride, we can’t thank you enough for the wonderful ceremony you created with Meghan and Shawn. You made it so personal and so special . The “kiss” will always be a extraordinary memory. So many guests made a point of telling us how lovely the ceremony was an how great you were (asking of how we found you – kudos Clayre Cardi from Kaleidoscope). It was just amazing and you made my daughter and her new husband extremely happy and made their love for each other more evident than I ever knew. Your prayer was especially wonderful to us and our family. Thanks again for taking the time to get to know Meghan and Shawn, for being so flexible and for creating lasting happy memories.

I would recommend Reverend Kent to any bride looking for a personable, professional, and responsive officiant! Kent has the type of personality that makes you feel like you have known him for years only after meeting with him for 30 minutes. I was a little nervous because I didn't know much about the wedding ceremony format and he put me at ease. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and he brings a special touch to the ceremony making it unique and not cookie cutter.
I am so happy that I had him as my officiant. He was a major component in making my wedding day so successful!

Reverend Foster officiated our wedding. When we first met him, he immediately put us at ease. Reverend Foster clearly enjoys what he does and takes the time to get to know the couples he is marrying. He took his time, answered our many questions, and gave us lots of ideas on how to customize the ceremony to fit our personality. His personal service and the attention to detail made our wedding ceremony special. We highly recommend him to anyone who needs an officiant for their wedding. Jim & Susan

Rev. Foster was fabulous! He really helped us find the perfect balance for our ceremony. It was still religious and special, despite no association with a specific religion. He met with us, conference called us and was even willing to Skype with us until we felt comfortable.
He really cares about his customers and you can see it.

Rev. Kent was not only an amazing officiant at our wedding but a down to earth, great guy! Because he is such a nice guy, his personality exudes and can be felt by your guests. He officiated a beautiful outdoor summer ceremony that was the perfect length of time and a mixture of our personalities. He kept the religion aspect light as we had asked for but still made the ceremony beautiful and meaningful. He worked with us prior to the ceremony and came up with unique aspects to the ceremony such as acknowledging the bridal party and incorporating our mothers. Some of those personalized events still have our guests talking!!! All in all when we look back on our wedding day we are so happy we had it where we wanted with an amazing officiant to make it beautiful! I highly recommend him to all future brides!!

Kent put together exactly the kind of ceremony that I was hoping for -- not too short, not too long, not too teary, not too funny, but just exactly right. He worked with us quite a few times, in person and via e-mail, prior to our wedding to ensure that it was done exactly the way we wanted. He showed up early, was dressed well, had a good command of the crowd, elicited positive responses from the audience, and most importantly, was articulate and projected well. Kent was delightful and we highly recommend his services.

Reverend Kent was a perfect officiant for our wedding! He was recommended to us by our venue. I sent him an email one night and he called about an hour later just to introduce himself. When we arranged our initial meeting with him, my husband and I just looked at each other and said 10 minutes in, “Oh, this guy is it.” We were looking for a non-denominational officiant who could still make it feel like a semi-religious, formal wedding ceremony. Reverend Kent arranged everything to have as little or much religion as we liked. Because he does have a religious background, it was really nice to have that option for our ceremony. We loved that he isn’t completely cookie-cutter. During the ceremony, he gave some short sayings about the emotions and role of marriage, he spoke directly to our bridal party – telling them how important they are to us and that is why we selected them to be here, and even suggested a beautiful rose ceremony to surprise our mothers with (people are still talking about this with tears in their eyes). Our parents met him at our rehearsal dinner (to which he rushed over to after officiating another wedding) and fell in love with him. When my sisters get married, they plan on giving him a call! ☺ He was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend him to all Philly brides!

Kent is amazing. His sense of timing is perfect and our April Fools wedding ceremony was both touching and humorous in all the right places. I could not have picked a better person and both my husband and I were thrilled to have him be part of our day!
He is also super-responsive in helping us figure out our vows, making suggestions for reading and even Skyping with us since we live in Sand Diego and not Philadelphia!
I HIGHLY recommend him!
UPDATE: I was asked to officiate a wedding for a friend and when I posted it on FB, Kent immediately emailed me, offering to answer any questions I might have (and I had plenty!). He is a generous spirit and it's just one more reason to have him as your officiant!
