    Look no further, Dan is the one!

    If you're looking for an officiant for your wedding, seriously look no further. Dan was excellent from start to finish. On our initial consultation, he was extremely friendly and welcoming, providing us a sense of relief that we were in the right hands. He answered a lot of our questions and also provided us tips on ensuring a smooth ceremony- even suggestions for things to do. He really took the time to get to know us and I think this is what made him stand out and deserve such high praise. We could immediately tell he was a perfect fit and very experienced. He kept in communication during the whole process and was always available to respond when needed. Our guests though he did a wonderful job and some even questioned how we're related! He also helped us with delivering our marriage application to the county and even followed up with us about it.

    Dan- Denise and I thank you so much for your time and we will 100% be sure to recommend to you to all our friends/family in need of an officiant!

    Gracious and responsible

    Thank you, Dan, for being my wedding minister. He is a particularly kind and responsible person. He presided with extraordinary solemnity and seriousness. Our family and friends all like he. In the middle of the process, I made a mistake and Dan patiently helped us solve it. Thanks for his help.

    Dan is the best

    My husband and I worked with Dan on many weddings since we started our wedding videography services in 2018. When we think about our own wedding, Dan is the first person we want to book on our vendor list. We are so grateful that he is the one to marry us! He did great work with professionalism. The whole process went super easy and smooth under his experiences and suggestions. And the awesome thing we just heard, one of our friends booked Dan for her wedding in 2022!

    Best choice to hire dan!

    Dan was amazing! We hired him for many reasons: he was the only officiant -- among several we had reached out to -- who responded immediately, he was on top of things and very thorough as far as the process of planning and day of ceremony (he's very experienced and has great ideas), he's genuinely kind...and he offers some of the best prices in the Bay Area, especially for the service he provides.

    It's important you connect with your officiant, and we felt an immediate connection with Dan.

    He checked in periodically. We never worried that he wouldn't do a good job, and we were so right. He was funny, witty and warm during our ceremony. Thank you for being part of our big day, Dan!

    He even made sure our marriage license and request for copies got to the county right away, and sent us a tracking number. We gave him a tip as a "thank you."

    We highly recommend using him for your wedding!

    Best officiant! Great experience.

    Dan married my husband and I exactly 3 months ago from today. He did an AMAZING job as our officiant. He explained how everything would go the day of and provided the opportunity for us to tailor the ceremony to our liking. We had a last minute change to the ceremony setup the day of, which he accommodated without a single bit of hesitation. We all know wedding planning can be hectic, which is especially true during current circumstances (COVID-19), so it's great to have someone like Dan as your officiant who is professional, flexible, and more than anything - makes sure your special day runs exactly the way you want it to.

    Dan Kennedy - Wedding Minister's reply:

    Thank you, Jessica. You very kind words are greatly appreciated! All the best to you and yours.

    Highly pleased with Dan as our officiant!

    Choosing Dan as our officiant was an easy choice. We reached out to him and met with him in person all within a two day span and were immediately comfortable and confident with him. He helped us understand the flow of the ceremony as well as the wedding license process.
    He showed up to our wedding well prepared and executed the ceremony flawlessly. We even received numerous compliments from our guests regarding some of the sayings and quotes he delivered during the ceremony. Dan is flexible, understanding, and will officiate the wedding in a way that adheres to your beliefs. I am Christian but my now husband is catholic and we needed to find some way to appease his parents since we weren't getting married in a church. Dan started the ceremony with a nice prayer and offered suggestions as to how he could be inclusive of the catholic family.
    I would highly recommend Dan!

    On time, flexible and detail oriented

    Dan is on time and detail oriented. He is also flexible to accommodate cultural traditions. If you want to, you can request Dan to dress in a Hawaiian shirt to match your wedding theme.

    Heartfelt Ceremony

    Dan Kennedy made our wedding special. His calm and loving personality and keen attention to detail helped create a day to remember. He was patient with us and came up with a very heartfelt ceremony that integrated our Scottish background. He is professional, but also has a good sense of humor and our guests loved him! We are so glad we found Dan and highly recommend him.

    Excellent and very much satisfied

    Dan was great at our wedding day. We did not have any rehearsal for the ceremony but all went well because Dan was there to guide us. We did the cord, veil and coin; very much appreciated when he explained to the designated persons how to do them. I highly recommend Dan Kennedy.

    Ardenwood wedding

    Dan was our wedding officiant in May 2019. Dan came highly recommended by two of our other friends who were married by him as well. He was unbelievably professional from the beginning. He met with us for over an hour to prepare during our first meeting together. He had a binder prepared with outlines of typical wedding ceremonies. He had so many beautiful, thoughtful touches to the ceremony, and we used most of his recommendations. He took the time to get to know us, and checked in via email and phone multiple times leading up to the wedding day. We had a non-religious ceremony with personalized vows. As the officiant, he was the first person that our guests meet and sets the tone of our ceremony. Dan was calm, respectful, and well-spoken. We just got our wedding video back, and Dan's kind words still resonated with us many months after our actual wedding. We highly recommend having Dan as your officiant. Thank you so much!

    Unique, Professional and Dedicated to their craft!

    Dan Kennedy was a wonderful find for us! From the beginning of our conversations to the actual Wedding Ceremony Day, Dan was attentive, thoughtful and open to developing a wonderful and unique experience for not just the bride and groom but for our guests as well!

    Dan is attentive through calls and e-mails and provided not only feedback when discussing what we wanted in our Ceremony, he also provided some insight into other experiences that helped us determine what would be a good fit for our wedding day. Dan answers questions, even strange ones, without any hesitation nor judgement which was something we loved and needed for an officiant. Thank you for being so open!

    We greatly enjoyed the time he took to research our ceremony additions as they were no where traditional but incorporated fantasy elements and he was able to keep the ceremony grounded and believable. It felt special, unique, but at the same time, no where kitschy or like roleplay. We loved every single word that Dan said in our ceremony and we absolutely trusted that he would relay the love that me and the groom express to each other after getting to know us through meetings and interactions.

    Dan was also so informative to us before and after the ceremony regarding the necessary steps to get our license like where to go, how to keep it neat for processing, and he also was keen to make sure we had the right details.

    Overall, hire Dan if you are in search of a kind, thoughtful, and purposeful officiant. From providing information, answering questions, and just understanding that they are a part of the ceremony in many ways, Dan is a valuable resource and addition to any wedding! He's also fair on price and is efficient with his time.

    We absolutely love that we contracted with Dan Kennedy. Thank you for making our day, OUR DAY!

    Several of our wedding vendors recommended we try booking Dan Kennedy as our officiant, and we're very happy that we did!. Dan is very experienced and very professional, and our ceremony turned out great. Dan made us feel very comfortable with the process, engaged the guests, and made the entire ceremony seem very natural. Our guests keep commenting on how great the ceremony was and how Dan was a great choice for an officiant.

I highly recommend his services. Great person to work with! Do yourself a favor and save headache of ceremony planning and money with Mr Kennedy!

    We really appreciated how Dan provided helpful information regarding ceremony ideas, and around the marriage license process. We felt comfortable and confident in having Dan as our officiant. On our wedding day, Dan arrived early, connected with our coordinators and photography team, and everything ran smoothly. Dan did a wonderful job!
