    Amazing experience! Thank you Kurt!!

    Amazing experience! Thank you Kurt for your dedication and compromise. We had a meeting with Kurt few days before the wedding to organize the ceremony and work on the script together. He was very helpful with suggestions and very open to our ideas.

    The ceremony was unforgettable, his words were very deep and emotional. Also, he officiated the ceremony in English and Spanish! We highly recommend Kurt. He made us feel unique and we will never forget this moment.

    Gracias!

    Patient & Flexible - Highly Recommended

    Kurt was an exceptional officiant for my wife and I when we got married on 8/22. If I could highlight a major qualities that won us over with Kurt, it would be patience. After we were in touch with Kurt to plan the initial "run of show" for the big day, we experienced the impact of the pandemic in having to drastically change our plans. He was patient in waiting to hear from us with our new adjustments to the big day, being extremely flexible with rather last minute additions as well. Also, despite our date change moving two months from June to August, Kurt still made the effort to serve as our officiant. It is a testament to his character that he had a vacation that same week and, if I recall, returned that morning and officiated the wedding that afternoon. A true gentleman. I would recommend him to anyone.

    Wedding Ceremony

    We are very thankful to have chosen Kurt as the officiant for our wedding. Our wedding ceremony and reception was originally scheduled for this April, but has been postponed due to Covid-19. We still knew we wanted to have a simple ceremony this spring/summer when it was safe to do so. Kurt was very patient, understanding and helpful during this confusing pandemic period, as we went back and forth on potential dates and trying to figure out our marriage license situation. He was quick with responding to our inquiries and made himself available in such a short notice, supportive and worry free. We finally settled on a new date. Kurt outlined a great ceremony for us to work with and let us adjust the format as needed. During our simple ceremony, Kurt’s positive and warm presence helped make our day a very special one that we’ll always remember. Thank you for making this process as smooth as possible. We could not be happier with Kurt as our officiant, he is one of the best there is.

    Update Summer 2021:
    Our wedding day finally came this past July, Kurt was amazing and spoke with the perfect tone during the ceremony. The pacing and the content of the ceremony was flawless. After the ceremony, my guests were complimenting how wonderful he was! All in all, Kurt was amazing to work with from beginning to end, especially during a pandemic that caused us to change our date twice. He certainly took the stress out of things and made the wedding process easy. Thank you Kurt!! You made it exactly the way we wanted it: relaxed, intimate and above all special!

    NYC Wedding Was So Smooth Thanks to Kurt!

    My now husband and I are pretty easygoing and knew we wanted to keep our ceremony simple. We felt connected to Kurt from the beginning and he is so kind and professional. We had to change our plans because of COVID-19, but Kurt was extremely patient, helpful, and accommodating. Because our ceremony included just immediate family, we all had the chance to chat and it was such a pleasure to have him be apart of our day. We would recommend him to anyone without any hesitation . Thank you Kurt for making everything so easy!

    Simply the best!

    We are so happy that we chose Kurt Denk as our wedding officiant. Kurt was the first officiant we spoke to in our search and when we chatted with him on the phone, we instantly knew he was the one for us!

    Our wedding situation was definitely a unique one being in the midst of a global pandemic. When we decided to postpone our big wedding, Kurt was extremely supportive. We also wanted to elope in the city with our families and he was very helpful with guiding us through obtaining our marriage license online through Project Cupid and then planning our ceremony via video chat and emails.

    He was also so patient with us because all our plans were up in the air for our elopement due to Covid. It was tough for us to decide on a proper outdoor location and to make sure our families felt safe and comfortable to attend. We didn’t have a concrete plan on our location and time until the week of our elopement, but the entire time Kurt was warm, kind, and extremely patient. Thank you again Kurt for bearing with us!

    We cannot recommend Kurt enough! He is a true professional. Honestly, would give Harborlight Weddings 10 stars on here if I could!

    We can’t wait to have Kurt do our vow-renewal exchange next year.

    A Wonderful Officiant

    My wife and I were very happy we choose Kurt! He helped walk us though the ceremony and paperwork process, gave us exactly what we wanted for the ceremony, and was a wonderful officiant. After the wedding he followed up with us to confirm that the court had received our paperwork (which he mailed in for us, taking something off our to-do list). If he's available for your wedding date I'm confident he'll make you as happy as he made us.

    Kurt was great!

    My now husband and I were extremely happy with Kurt! Prior to our wedding ceremony, we really got to know him and he took his time out to speak with us multiple times to ensure accuracy and specificity to what we wanted for our ceremony. He was punctual and professional and we felt very comfortable with him. His personality was very easy going and he was so easy to work with. He confirmed with us prior to the ceremony and also the day before, which I really was happy with. I definitely would recommend Kurt to officiate your wedding! We have all good things to say of him!

    The most amazing ceremony I could ever dream of

    Words cannot begin to describe how happy I am that I chose Kurt for our ceremony, he was truly a blessing through the whole process. I found Kurt while looking on the Knot for officiants, sent a message and received a quick response to set up a phone meeting. After speaking with him for those 15-20 minutes, my husband and I were sold that this was the person to choose. We worked closely with Kurt through the whole planning process. We had one face to face meeting with Kurt at a local coffee shop, where we discussed what we were looking for in the ceremony, our interests, and important aspects that we wanted included in the ceremony. I received the first draft not too long after this meeting and we were completely blown away. Just from the first draft we knew we definitely made the right decision. Due to my husband and I having busy work schedules, Kurt and I worked mainly through email and phone calls, sending drafts back and forth with edits until we reached our final draft. We did decide to let Kurt surprise us with part, and I highly recommend couples to do this. His words were so beautiful and added so much to the love that we were trying to capture through our ceremony. Kurt, Josh and I will forever be grateful and remember forever your beautiful words and beautiful ceremony. Thank you for truly capturing that “it’s all about love.”

    Thank you, Kurt, for making our wedding the most unforgettable experience of our lives. You are an incredible person, with great charisma and professional even in the smallest details so that everything is perfect. Your command of English and Spanish made you the best of all.

    Kurt valued his role and participation in our wedding making the occasion truly special.

    My wife and I felt a natural connection to Kurt during our first phone call. He carefully considered our requests while also offering us great insight on how to tailor the ceremony. In addition to Kurt's thoughtfulness, he anticipated the small details and accommodated unexpected changes—even sending a variety of tie samples to complement the bridal party's attire. Upon our first meeting, Kurt instantly felt like an old friend. He is a natural conversationalist who holds a genuine interest in his clients' lives. One of the highlights of our day was listening to his eloquent sermon. Kurt is an articulate public speaker with perfect diction and a soothing voice; qualities we believe are paramount in officiating a marriage. Although we requested a brief ceremony, we invited him to enjoy the cocktail hour as our guest; and though he had a commitment later in the evening, he gave our guests his undivided attention. Perhaps the most special moment of the evening was when Kurt renewed our grandparent's vows in an impromptu ceremony, without hesitation. This act, above all else, exemplifies who he is. If you are planning a wedding and wish to be treated like a dear friend, and not a client, we wholeheartedly recommend that Kurt officiate your marriage.

    Working with Kurt was a breeze. He was quick to set up an initial appointment and we were able to have our ceremony within a few weeks of initial contact. It was smooth and trouble free.

    Wonderfully Memorable

    It's been since March 16th that I have been rewriting this review. I couldn't fit all of the wonderful things Kurt Dent provided to make our wedding so special! Hundreds of accalaids ran through our minds, and it all came down to this. If you're looking for a caring extraordinary wedding, Harbor Lights LLC is the ONLY sure way to go. Look no further! My family enjoyed how Kurt's personality exudes Happiness, it was as if another family member was with us to enjoy and partake in the festivities. We love your free spirit and wish we could do it all again and again! Thanks for all you have done to make our wedding dreams come true. Habor Lights LLC for trusted professionalism.

    Kurt made our wedding a wonderful experience. The ceremony prepared by Kurt, with our input, was very sweet and professional.

    Kurt was awesome. He was very prompt, he came to our hotel, was very helpful and explained everything we needed to know. He was also very affordable. I would recommend him to anyone.

    A collaborative process to make our vows unique and truly our own

    Having someone like Kurt to guide us through the ceremony process was a blessing. Our wedding was a bit DIY and planned in under 8 months, so it was particularly helpful having someone reliable and experienced to support us through the most important part – the ceremony! Kurt is both organized and open. He thought through all of the little details for us, while helping us discover for ourselves the right style for our ceremony. He provided us with a template to get started. This was great because it took the heavy lifting off our shoulders while giving us inspiration to modify the language and flow to suit our personalities, preferences, and beliefs. Kurt is a natural: attentive and calming, with a natural leadership that makes you realize you’re in good hands. He helped bring our ceremony to life, and we would confidently recommend him to any couple.
