Amazing light hearted ceremony

The ceremony was very touching and beautiful. The Men in Black did an amazing job providing a traditional Christian ceremony with humor and lightheartedness blended in.

Wonderful and professional!

We loved our officiants! All of our guests were moved by the ceremony, the reverends had great personality and made the ceremony so special. It was personalized for the audience and so special. They made everything easy and stress free for us, offering numerous resources to help us with any questions. Communication was great, we had a very easy experience with them. They were professional and had great energy. We and all of our guests were truly moved by them. We hired the right people! Highly recommend them!

Wonderful all around

MIBWO was honestly the best choice for our wedding. They were just the kindest, most welcoming, calm humans. They are super detailed and didn't leave a single thing out, and not just for the ceremony. they offered so much help with every aspect of the wedding. I was planning all of it by myself so it was nice to have that. i am so beyond grateful for them and all the information they provided. As for the ceremony. We were definitely over the moon with everything. they truly were wonderful and provided such a sweet, heartfelt ceremony for us. Everyone raved about them throughout the night and even weeks after. it was such a great ceremony for us. and i would recommend them to everyone.

What Made Our Ceremony So Special.

My husband, Steve, and I are so grateful we decided to choose MIBWO to officiate our wedding. Michael and Ken went out of their way to make sure our ceremony had a personal and sentimental touch to it. They were incredibly helpful throughout the wedding planning process, from sending us examples/templates of how to orchestrate our ceremony to reminding us why marriage is such a beautiful occasion in the first place. Numerous of our guests commented that it seemed as if they've known us for a really long time, which is a factor that we very much appreciated. I would recommend these services to any who are considering. They absolutely assisted in making our special day as beautiful as it could possibly be!

Beautifully done

The ceremony was lovely and moving. Both gentlemen were professional and kind. A perfect blend of sacred and humor. I was a little nervous before walking down the aisle but they put me right at ease by chatting with me before the processional started. Loved the teasing of my daughter with the remark of how she had to sing a song during the ceremony.

Perfection

Second marriages are different: more thoughtful, calmer, full of hard-earned wisdom, but also so filled with love and laughter. MIB fulfilled all of the above. Guests (and bride and groom) were brought to sweet tears, but also wonderful mirth. During our vows, guest's eyes glistened, heads leaned together with their partners, hands reached for each other, shoulders touched. That is when you know it is real, and that our ceremony perfectly captured us as a couple, and the true meaning of love and companionship through thick and thin.

Two Awesome Dudes For Your Special Day

Me and my husband was so happy when they called us back and told us they were available to officiate our ceremony. I’m catholic on my fathers side and my new husband just graduated boot camp and was only on leave for 3 days and we wanted to get married before he had to leave for training. Michael and Kenneth were very professional and easy to work with. They prayed over our marriage and gave us good advice for the future. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Very highly recommended!

Excellent professionalism and flexibility!

I don't know where to start; I found them with only a week and a half left until our wedding day die to an issue with our original minister. They responded to me instantly and we had things taken care of instantly. Very professional and they offer up a lot of good information for people that are going through a first marriage that may not know customs and how weddings work.

The day of was stressful due to several things not going as planned and being miscommunication but they definitely were part of getting things organized and done and everyone loved the entire wedding ceremony and luncheon. I recieved compliments from everyone saying our wedding was by far the best and most enjoyable wedding they ever attended; and we were definitely not a traditional wedding or organized.

You pay for what you get and these gentlemen are top notch. Don't hesitate!!!

Such great officiants!

We really thought the Men in Black did a stellar job! They provided a template for the ceremony that was easy to use and they provided such great feedback throughout the process. We never felt like we were navigating the wedding prep alone - they were always there to guide and encourage us. The service itself was made so special by Rev. Carroll and Rev. Warne - so many special moments to cherish! We could not possibly be any happier with the service MIB provided!

Thank you for the Beautiful Ceremony

Lauren & Soham

Married on 7/17/21

The Men in Black (Rev Ken and Bishop Michael) were wonderful to work with right from the get-go. They were extremely helpful, responsive, and so kind throughout as we planned for our wedding. We felt more than ready for the ceremony weeks in advance thanks to their preparedness and active communication. They created a beautiful script weeks before the wedding, and we really appreciated this because it was nice to know what to expect and it gave us the ability to prepare for the actual ceremony. They were very sweet, jovial, and funny with an incredible sense of timing; made us feel very comfortable during the ceremony and brought us tears of joy with their recitation. Not to mention they were a blast to dance with at our reception. We were incredibly lucky and honored to have them marry us.

Ken and Mike were a great addition to our auspicious ceremony and would highly recommend them to everyone!

Great Experience

Men in black are just all round great guys. From the beginning to end they were so great. With my fiancé nervous about the big day and not know much about wedding and helping keep her calm and not worry to keeping everyone on track. Great sense of humor, great passion, and absolutely wonderful. Would highly recommend these guys for anyone's big day.

5 Stars All the Way

My fiancé and I were very fortunate to find the Men In Black Officiants and book them for our beach wedding. From beginning to end, Ken and Michael were amazing to work with and helped us create a one of a kind ceremony by sharing comprehensive amounts of wedding planning materials. In addition to their excellent planning advice for the ceremony, they provided thoughtful questions and counseling discussion topics for us to connect with each other and the sacrament of matrimony. At the wedding ceremony both Ken and Michael were pros. Through our work, they were able to encompass our personal styles with the perfect mix of tradition, humor, and love to make our ceremony beautiful and meaningful. Many guests commented on the moving sermon our officiants gave, as well as their reverence, spirituality and at times lightheartedness. It was an honor having both Ken and Michael officiate and bless our marriage. We could not have imagined a ceremony that reflected our love and religious upbringing in a better way.

Wonderful!

My fiancé and I decided to push forward our wedding and “run away” to the beach to make it official. Men In Black were able to accommodate us on such short notice. We literally called them for the first time two and a half hours before the actual ceremony took place! We met up with them and they were very professional yet fun and they really make your special day that much more special. The vows Michael wrote for us were just incredible. It’s like he’s known us our whole lives. While chatting with them before the ceremony they found out I’ve been unemployed and even offered to help me out with a job! All in all it was a very special experience and they were true professionals. I would highly recommend!

Men in Black Review

Men in Black were very easy to work with. They explained everything clearly & gave us script templates to customize our wedding. They helped ease our nerves at the altar by adding some comedic quirks. Our ceremony went smoothly, even with the skateboarders as background noise. LOL! They truly were an important part of our day, and we would recommend their services to anyone we know. They did an excellent job! Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Lee

Beautiful Service

Just wanted to share some thoughts on the wedding service of Pat and Ryann C. that occurred on Friday, November 20, 2020, and was officiated by Men in Black Wedding Officiants.
I have to say, we were thoroughly impressed with their sense of reverence, spirituality, and at times light heartiness during the ceremony. It was an absolutely beautiful day, with the sun setting in the background made you appreciate the natural wonders that God has created, it was an amazing afternoon. Rev. Msgr. Michael K. Carroll, USAFR and Rev. Mr. Kenneth R. Warne created an inspirational and scared atmosphere that was spiritual uplifting and comforting.
They performed an absolutely beautiful service and we highly recommend them for a wedding ceremony.

Amazing!

First, I’d like to state that we were originally doing a destination wedding and due to COVID we had to change plans within 3 months! We were looking for officiants and came across the men in black and boy am I glad we found them! This is the bride by the way, when I was waking down the aisle I got a little emotional, for me that was bound to happen. As soon as I got to the alter these guys made me laugh! The ceremony was also so beautiful! We had a few jokes thrown in there and it make everyone laugh! I know it was my wedding but I think that was the most beautiful, funny, and well put together ceremony ever!

Everything we could have hoped for

After being forced to postpone our wedding twice, my fiancée and I decided we were tired of waiting and wanted to do go simple. We just wanted it to be us 2 and an officiant. We were fortunate enough to find Michael and Ken, who were truly a blessing. They not only worked with us on short notice but proved to be a huge help while we scrambled to get things organized last minute.
On the day of our wedding they were in communication with me throughout the morning, even calling me with a reminder to bring the marriage certificate. Even though it was not the big wedding that we had originally planned for, the ceremony was everything we could have asked for and more. Ken helped us by taking pictures, and Michael gave a fantastic sermon that was so perfectly fitting you would have thought he had known us for years. They were nice enough to stay with us for a few hours to take pictures afterwards.
Honestly, it is difficult to put into words how thankful and blessed we are that things worked out the way they did. After the pandemic forced us to postpone twice, we never would have thought we could have been as happy as we were about the way our ceremony turned out. Thank you so much.

Our Light During COVID-19

We came across The Men In Black when we decided to change our original wedding plans due to COVID. Planning a wedding during COVID was stressful and The Men in Black were our light in this dark time. They made our day absolutely perfect given the difficult circumstances. The Men in Black were very understanding, informative, and supportive. They provided us with a wealth of information and really listened to our wants and needs.
With COVID we had decided to get married in our parent's living room with no more than 10 people and the Men In Black made great suggestions with the room layout to make our ceremony more intimate and comfortable for our guests.
The ceremony was exactly what we hoped for and we would highly recommend them to our family and friends.

Rev. Ken and Msgr. Michael, we cannot thank you enough for helping us create such a special day and we look forward to our vow renewals with you both in the years to come!

Five Stars All The Way!

Before my daughter was even officially engaged, I had begun the search for a wedding officiant. We were not on the same page. My husband and I wanted her to have a traditional Catholic church wedding, which was not what she envisioned for her wedding ceremony. I wanted a priest, but I knew that a priest would not marry a couple outside of the church. So I was thrilled when I found Men In Black Wedding Officiants through a google search. I knew from the moment we contacted them that they were the perfect fit for what I wanted and for what my daughter wanted. They are very detailed oriented and always answer any questions very promptly. To say they are organized is an understatement!

On my daughter's wedding day, we were all very excited to meet Rev. Msgr. Carroll and Rev. Warne. They are both very friendly and have a great sense of humor. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect. After the ceremony, guest after guest came up to my husband and me and commented on how beautiful the wedding ceremony was and how much they enjoyed listening to Rev. Carroll and Rev. Warne. We were also very honored to have them do a blessing before we ate, and they even made everyone laugh out loud with a funny joke!

I would highly recommend Men in Black. We couldn't be more pleased. Five Stars all the way!!

Perfect Wedding!

We knew from the first time we meant with Michael and Ken that they were perfect to perform our wedding ceremony. We were laughing and sharing our life stories within a matter or minutes. They made us feel like we had known them forever and a day!
Michael and Ken helped us plan our ceremony which was filled with religion, humor and inspiring readings that were perfect for today’s world.
Michael and Ken could not have been more accommodating to our needs. We had planned to get married on July 15th; however, Dave woke up at 3AM that morning with a kidney stone. After spending four hours in the emergency room, we had a huge decision to make. Do we or do we not get married at 4PM? We had no idea what to do, so I reached out to Michael and Ken for some advice. They were wonderful and assured us that they would be there for us either at 4PM or whenever we were ready. We decided to postpone the ceremony until the next day. The next morning, Ken called me to see how Dave was feeling first thing in the morning.
Our ceremony finally took place the next day, Thursday, July 16 at Baywood Country Club, Rehoboth Beach. It was the perfect day! During the ceremony they had a surprise for us, which we know nothing about. It turned out to be something that we had mentioned during our first meeting several weeks before the wedding. We could not believe they remembered and made it part of our ceremony. What a wonderful surprise!
Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the ceremony was. In fact, they still mention how wonderful Michael and Ken were as we reminisce that day.
We want to thank Michael and Ken for making OUR day incredibly special and memorable.
Mike & Dave

The Perfect Ceremony

In March 2020, my fiancé and I had to postpone our Grand Cayman wedding three days beforehand due to COVID-19. We set a new date in June, but we were notified in May that we would need to delay again. Wanting to keep our date, we cancelled our destination plans and started arranging a backyard wedding in our hometown.

We only had a few weeks, so our first search was for an officiant, which is how we came across the Men in Black. Their reviews were outstanding, and from the videos we watched of them, we could see why. We decided to reach out – and we are so happy we did.

From the very start, they were engaging and focused on making sure our ceremony was EXACTLY how we intended. We did not have long before the wedding, but they took what little time we did have to understand our vision and then provided us with options to choose from and/or personalize. They also sent us several useful ceremony tips and resources to help guide us along the way.

We could go on about how great they are. But if we had to give one reason why we highly recommend them, it would be the experience. They made everything simple, fun, and most importantly, they made it about the two of us. We cannot thank them enough for creating such a special and sacred ceremony.

Perfect Ceremony

We were a little unsure about how to go about wanting a religious ceremony outside near the beach. When we heard about Men In Black we thought it would be too good to be true. However, upon meeting Rev. Mike and Ken we knew we had the perfect duo. They're comforted us and put the tiny details into the ceremony that we would have never thought about, they're true professionals when it comes to wedding. We enjoyed the ceremony and recommend them to any friends who ask!

They Made Our Vow Renewal Even More Memorable

Highly recommend Men in Black. We could not have been more pleased with the way our Vow Renewal turned out. Greatly appreciated the effort that MIB took to get to know us and work with us to tailor the ceremony so that it was unique and something everyone could connect with instead of just a standard service. Everyone enjoyed the light touches that were woven in making our beach ceremony memorable. Our guests keep complimenting us on having Reverend Msgr. Michael and Deacon Ken officiate. They helped make our 30th wedding anniversary truly a special occasion. Have no doubt about hiring Men in Black for your event.

Very caring and professional

I was privileged to attend A wedding where Michael and Ken officiated. They stepped in on very short notice and officiated at a beautiful bayside wedding. Ken had everything planned down to the last detail. The ceremony was absolutely lovely. Michaels sermon Was meaningful and personalized. The invitation to all people in a committed relationship to renew their vows to each other was beautiful. Many of the guests commented on the beauty of the ceremony. I would highly recommend them.

Ken and Michael helped us prepare an intimate ceremony that we personalized with their suggestions along with special readings. They know wedding ceremony pitfalls and challenges better than any wedding planner. The hints they provided made our ceremony by the water perfect. They joined our reception like family, and all had a blast. Our friends are still talking about Ken and Michael. If you want a special ceremony, these two are the right ones. Thanks Michael and Ken!

I would highly recommend MIBWO to anyone getting married! They provided us with so much useful information that really helped make our wedding ceremony just the way we wanted. You don't realize how much goes into the ceremony! But Kenneth really helped break it down and was very willing to help us make things go just the way we wanted. Bishop Carroll was fantastic during the ceremony and kept it gracious with a bit of humor which everyone loved. Thank you both so much for helping make our day so special!

The perfect fit

We cannot express how thankful we are for Michael and Ken. They were warm and welcoming right from the start, taking the time to explain their process to us over breakfast. They were funny and friendly and kept us informed. They were so accommodating to what we envisioned for our ceremony, and provided us with multiple examples and options of how we could piece it all together to make it perfect for us. Ken was so patient with me as a stressed out Bride and didn't seem offended when I kept jumping the gun. We are again so thankful for their service - our ceremony was perfect and so "us". 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Genuine Compassion

The Men in Black are phenomenal and were phenomenal on our big day. They made my wife and I's wedding everything we hoped it would be. They listen (to your requests, preferences), advise (what to anticipate, hear your back story and acknowledge your heritage), and manage in a compassionate manner. My wife and I's wedding meant everything in the world to us and they made sure to genuinely accommodate. Not only will they offer assistance but they will continue to reach out to you throughout the wedding process as friendly reminders. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat and still can not thank them enough. It took me weeks to approach a review because words alone can't capture what they bring to the table. I had the honor to be a guest at a wedding they officiated and now have the honor to say they officiated my wife and I's.

All-star Officiants

Rev. Msgr. Michael K. Carroll, USAFR & Rev. Mr. Kenneth R. Warne had everything and more which made me feel extremely comfortable having them as our officiants. They were with Ty and I the entire time through our wedding planning moments before and after the wedding. I am beyond grateful for everything they offered to Ty and I like pre-wedding discussion documents to talking through our relationship wants and needs. Whenever we were with Ken and Michael, they always were friendly, kind, caring, funny and compassionate. They are top-notch true professionals and are the best of the best!

The Best in the Biz!!!

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!

Words really cannot describe the extent of the positive experience my wife and I had dealing with the Men in Black. From start to finish the MIB were extremely responsive, informative, helpful and wonderful to deal with. The amount of information they had and suggestions in helping to form the ceremony made our lives so much easier and allowed us to focus our time and energy in other aspects of the wedding.

The guys are extremely detail oriented and organized which allowed for a flawless ceremony that our guests raved about. They listened to our wants and needs and time constraints and formulated a perfect religious ceremony that mirrored our personalities and humor. The timing, the feel, the readings, the music and the little jokes they told about created the perfect balance between a normal mass and casual setting.

In short, these guys are absolute pros at what they do. They are caring, funny, professional, reliable and very well organized. I would recommend them to anyone from any background looking to tie the knot. It was an honor and a pleasure working with them and I would highly recommend them to any of my friends or family members looking to marry.

Hands Down The Best! The Men in Black Wedding Officiants

A week before our wedding on the beach my fiancé (at the time) and I were faced with the possibility of bad weather. We were so upset because of all of the planning and decorations and the dream we had of our wedding was crumbling around us. We couldn't find a venue that wasn't already booked or that was close to a location that included food and hotels for our family. We spoke to The Men in Black Wedding Officiants and they immediately got to work looking for a venue and preparing our ceremony. It was unbelievable! Within 24hours they had found 2 venue locations. One of them we actually fell in love with and got it for a phenomenal deal. Ken didn't waste anytime coordinating, he called and spoke with the manager and setup a meeting for us to see the location and meet the owner. They even rearranged their schedule to accommodate the meeting so we could sit down and go over everything with us to get a game plan since we had less than a week to get everything together. The Men in Black officiated our wedding on 10/28/2018. They kept in contact throughout the whole wedding process, even offering advice about the ceremony table and chair layout, which we found super helpful! Ken and Michael are so great to work with! They will customize your ceremony script to make your day extra special! On the day of the ceremony I had forgot the easel for the "cord of three strands" ritual as well as forgetting to untie the braids before beginning the ceremony. It was the only ritual I wanted and it meant so much to me. I thought it was ruined but Ken and Michael turned without missing a beat and revealed their own cord of three strands that they had actually made for us as a gift. I was moved to tears. The fact that two people who had just met us could care so much about our wedding day. They were determined to make our day special and they made it absolutely unforgettable. They were absolute angels from God! At every step of the way we faced some obstacle and they smiled and had a solution. Thank you so much for everything! We look forward to seeing you at our 5 year vow renewal!

Thank you so much to the Men in Black for officiating our wedding on 8/31/2018! They did a brilliant job from the rehearsal to the ceremony with constant communication and helpful advice with their unique relaxing nature. We both received a lot of compliments regarding the ceremony, my Grandad going as far as saying it was the best ceremony he had seen in his life, to the delight of my Mother and Grandma! We would fully recommend the Men in Black!

We had Michael and Ken officiate at my daughter’s 8/31/18 wedding in Philadelphia. This was an out-of-state wedding and there were numerous details to take care of. Ken was so helpful and super quick to respond to questions and provide feedback on the wedding script. They provided helpful suggestions for wedding readings and music selections. It greatly simplified what could have been an overwhelming process. Michael and Ken also provided invaluable advice during the rehearsal, putting my daughter and future son-in-law at ease. The ceremony was beautiful, they crafted such a personal, specifically designed one for them. They interwove some humorous elements that helped them to relax and enjoy the ceremony. They were so friendly and engaging, our guests told us repeatedly how much they enjoyed the ceremony and speaking to them at the reception. Selecting Michael and Ken was the smartest thing I did during the wedding planning process.

The Men In Black were the best choice we could've made for wedding officiants! They made sure that everyone was confident in their roles at the rehearsal and set a serious but light and lovely tone for the ceremony. They were very patient and informative when we had questions and even further customized our ceremony plan based on our set up and what they thought would look and be best. We never anticipated the sheer number of compliments that we received on the ceremony! They also made a lovely toast at the reception dinner. Highly, highly recommend. - Julie, bride

The Men In Black Wedding Officiants were an absolute pleasure to work with! Michael and Ken officiated our wedding on 7/7/2018 and the ceremony was beautiful, emotional, and heartfelt. So many of our guests spoke with us (and with Michael and Ken!) at the reception and told us that it was simply one of the most touching ceremonies they had ever had the privilege of witnessing. Michael and Ken are easy to work with and very patient, and they care deeply about helping you create your perfect wedding ceremony. Their suggestions and recommendations from past experiences add such a personalized feel. We simply cannot recommend the Men In Black Wedding Officiants more highly. Michael and Ken, thank you for helping us create the memory of a lifetime! Collin & Ainsley

My fiance and I were faced with the challenge of moving our wedding date up to accomodate his very ill parents. It was super important for his parents to be there for our wedding day, but their health was failing......BOTH of them at the same time. We decided to forego the traditional "big family wedding" and opted for an intimate, immediate "family only" ceremony in the matter of weeks. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but having to put EVERYTHING together in a few weeks is almost impossible. I was looking for a wedding officiant who was flexible, organized, competent and most of all, had a warm and welcoming sense of humor. The Men In Black exceeded all of those expectations beyond our wildest imagination. They were responsive from the first inquiry, and from there, it was flawless.......Absolutely SUPER ORGANIZED......NO MATTER WHAT DENOMINATION OR FAITH YOU PRACTICE, MEN IN BLACK CAN AND WILL ACCOMODATE YOU. I was so hesitatant about shying away from the "the traditional church wedding", but time was not on our side. The MEN IN BLACK were a God sent.....I cannot thank them enough for their professional service, quality of ceremony and amazing communication throughout. If you are looking for an officiant, please.....LOOK NO MORE.....THE MEN IN BLACK ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. Congrats on your big day!!!! You have enough to worry about.....Let the Men In Black do what they do best!!!!!!

MIB were out of this world! Our wedding would not have been the same without them, we’re so glad we chose them to officiate our wedding. They felt more like guests we had known for some time rather than wedding vendors. Everyone loved them and commented on how great they were. Not only were they professional and prepared to a “T” but they were entertaining as well. Set your wedding apart and choose MIB to officiate your wedding!

We would like to thank the Men In Black wedding officiants. They officiated our wedding on 05/19/2018. They did a perfect job even when we had to switch the ceremony to Plan B because of the rain. They both keep in contact through out the whole wedding planning process, even offering advice about planning, which we found super helpful! Ken and Michael are great to work with and will costumize your ceremony script to make your day extra special! So glad we went with them. Thank you for being apart of our day and making it that much more special.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the Men in Black. My wife and I had a destination wedding planned. A month before the wedding we were given devastating news that my mother in law had been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. We had to cancel our wedding and focus on her health. After starting treatments we were advised to get married ASAP from her doctors because of the uncertainty of her health. We were able to schedule around her chemotherapy 2 months out. Now we had re-plan everything in that short period of time. I reached out to many wedding officiants trying to find someone who was reasonably priced and had great reviews. After talking to MIB and they heard our situation there was no doubt that we were going to use them. These men went completely out of their way to help us. They gave us so much useful information and checklist to help plan everything. Whenever we had questions they answered quickly. On our wedding day 1/6/18 they drove 3+ hours through a snow blizzard to our wedding and they did not disappoint. The delivered a beautiful message during our ceremony. They were professional but at the same time they said appropriate jokes along the way. During the reception they were very friendly and talked with many of guests. Everyone loved them. I can’t say enough positive things about them. If you are in need of a wedding officiant MIB are the way to go.

The Men in Black were the perfect officiants for our wedding and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. In the build up to the wedding they were helpful and informative and always available to communicate with if needed. They were professional prepared and accommodating from the moment they arrived at the wedding. Best of all both of the guys are so personable, calming, funny and helpful. They helped us through our ceremony with expertise whilst also maintaining the flow and feeling of the ceremony. The Men in Black helped us enjoy the day.

A perfect combination of professionalism, attention to detail, flexibility and levity made for an outstanding wedding day. The Men in Black know exactly how to create a ceremony that is both traditional and yet tailored for the wedding couple and their guests. If you need or want assistance with location, catering or entertainment they have the resources to help you make your selection. Highly recommend them for your special day.

We couldn’t have been happier with the small, casual beach wedding ceremony that Men in Black officiated for us in September. They easily adapted to all of our needs and helped make our wedding day very special. You can’t go wrong in choosing Men in Black for any size or type of ceremony, and I guarantee you will be very pleased with their professionalism, responsiveness and genuine concern for making sure that your ceremony is spectacular.

Zack and I could not have been happier with the Men In Black Officiants service. We had a small, intimate wedding in West Fenwick, DE on the bay and we had not previously met Ken or Michael. That being said, our guests assumed they were from our church back home because they fit in that well. They added some humor, per our preference, displayed professionalism and charisma during our ceremony. They will make sure you are prepared every step of the way with their emails and reminders to ensure you have a flawless wedding day. Thank you both! Katelyn & Zack Zeoli

My son and his beautiful bride were married this weekend in Lewes, De and I could not believe how fortunate they were to find the MIBWO - Bishop Michael and Deacon Ken were so professional yet friendly, always thinking of what is best for the couple, an eye for photos, bringing humor and faith so that all were touched by the ceremony. If you need an officiant - they are the first people I would call!!

Despite being five months since our wedding (wow, time flies!), it is still crystal clear to me exactly how important our choice to have Men In Black Officiants was to our wedding day. Finding an officiant was one of the most difficult challenges in the planning process - between balancing various expectations - our desire to be married in the venue of our choice, while finding a good fit for us personality-wise, and of course appeasing the families too… Deacon Warne and Bishop Carroll were the absolute perfect choice.

From the beginning, their flexibility with pricing and willingness to help us make the most our limited budget truly set them apart. Throughout the planning process, they offered a variety of information and assistance beyond the ceremony itself, including everything from what the best sound system would be without being intrusive, to suggested etiquette for areas we had questions in, and more. They even helped us write our vows and choose our readings to make the ceremony one of a kind, and representative of us as a couple. During the ceremony itself, Deacon Warne and Bishop Carroll worked as a seamless team. They were the perfect balance of serious and funny (a tone we appreciated). They even helped calm me when emotions threatened to get the best of me during our vows. During the reception, they both sat with our family and were an absolute hit! Even my somewhat difficult to please grandfather loved them both - they had their whole table laughing.

I will forever be grateful to the twist of fate that allowed me to stumble upon the Men in Black page, and to Deacon Warne and Bishop Carroll for giving us the most perfect, meaningful, and unique start to our officially married life together. Thank you so much!

Kenny and Michael married our daughter Kelly and her fiancé Jon Caplan on 7-29-2017. It was a beautiful ceremony. Michael and Kenny spent a lot of time and work to make the ceremony so special and memorable. We are so grateful that Kelly and Jon picked Michael and Kenny for this special day. It was a day we will never forget. Thanks again for a beautiful ceremony and all the precious memories we have. You guys are the BEST! Ellie and Keith (parents of the bride).

We can't express our gratitude enough for the great job done by Kenneth and Michael during our wedding ceremony this past Saturday. It was the perfect mix of funny and poignant moments and our guests were blown away by how good it was. Kenneth and Michael put a lot of hard work into making sure the ceremony goes according to plan and have a lot of great ideas on how to make your special day the best it possibly can be. If you book Men in Black officiants, you will not be disappointed! Thank you for everything Kenneth and Michael!

When tragedy hit our family and our “perfect” destination wedding was no longer possible, Men in Black brought joy and hope into a not so perfect situation. Within hours, they agreed to marry us and provided the most incredible ceremony I could have ever hoped for. They were sensitive to our loss of loved ones as well as encouraging and excited for our new beginning. They even found a way for our two year old to feel part of the ceremony. I am forever grateful that Michael and Ken provided us a beautiful “not-so planned-for” but perfect beginning to our marriage in the midst of some really rough times.

Indeed, getting married can be both a happy and stressful event, but thanks to the Men In Black Wedding Officiants (MIBWO), marriage was all happy! We had reached out initially to MIBWO through online search, and immediately they got back to us. What was particularly impressive was that we made initial contact roughly 3 months before the wedding, and they were very flexible in fitting us into their schedule easily and without rush. MIBWO gave us the choice ahead of time whether we agreed to receive a plethora of email advice on wedding vendor choices, etiquette, things to remember, etc.; and we are glad we said yes because the info helped. We no longer needed to hire a separate wedding planner! Both Bishop Michael and Deacon Ken were fun to meet in our first face-to-face while, at the same time, addressed questions about submitting the marriage license form. Sure, both held all the theological credentials, yet they made us feel more comfortable with their earthliness and good humor. This humor even carried over to the actual wedding ceremony in which they added some unexpected tongue-in-cheek ad-lib to our wedding script. Everyone loved it! We are sorry that MIBWO could not join our reception as they were in high demand that day to officiate other weddings, but we’ll invite them to the next one….LOL! -Jay & Rick

Ken and Michael were amazing! I was planning the whole wedding in only 3 month so I think I've found Men in Black only 2 month before our date. They were extremely helpful and patient with our responses and helped to create a very special and beautiful ceremony. They've made us feel as comfortable as we could be on our wedding day, even though the groom was almost an hour late and we didn't rehearse anything. We are extremely happy with how nice everything turned out, thanks to the Men in Black! They've also joined us at the reception dinner and our guests were very pleased to spend some time and talk to them. We highly recommend Men in Black, these guys are true professionals and are such a pleasure to work with! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

We were married in October 2016 by the Men in Black Wedding Officiants and I can say without hesitation that our ceremony was amazing thanks to Michael and Ken's expertise, personalities, and their visible joy in officiating. Ken and Michael are true professionals yet they are also extraordinarily fun! Our ceremony was filled with just the right blend of tradition, attention, humor, and romance. Upon meeting Ken and Michael for the first time we knew they were the right fit for us and for our ceremony. So many of our family members and guests remarked on how much they loved Michael and Ken. They not only immersed themselves in our ceremony but they immersed themselves into our reception and family. They celebrated right along with us by taking selfies, dancing, eating, and drinking. They made our day extra special. We would recommend Men in Black Wedding Officiants to anyone needing an officiant. They are truly "the best".

I was married this past weekend by Michael and Ken and I can't believe I was lucky enough to find these two amazing souls. I first met them at my rehersal dinner where their infectious personalities instantly made me feel like I had known them for years and years. Both of them instantly clicked with my entire Emily and husband. We talked the whole ride home about how amazing they were. The actual wedding ceremony could not have been more perfect. Ken and Michael have a way of making couples feel so at ease! They rocked our ceremony and made it sweet, yet humorous. They were able to read my husband and I like a book and they knew exactly how to make our ceremony perfect for us. I would recommend Ken and Michael a thousand times with the highest regard. My family and I could never thank them enough for their dedication to us, attention to detail, and most of all their amazing personalities. Truly wonderful people who are great at what they do.

These two gentlemen were terrific. As my new husband is a French citizen, and not speaking English yet, they crafted the ceremony so he only had to say "I do" and "I am." We were married at the Delaware Art Museum with just these gentlemen officiants in a non-denominational ceremony, and two witnesses in front of a lovely painting by Howard Pyle. Before the ceremony, they helped my husband with his tie and boutineer to make them look even better. No detail was missed. They were delightful company at the small luncheon reception we had at Toscana, now affiliated with the Delaware Art menu. Everything went smoothly and perfectly. I highly recommend them , especially if you are searching for officiants who are open minded and will marry very religious couples to atheists. High quality !

Best wedding ceremony EVER!!!! Rev. Kenneth Warne and Rev. Michael Carroll did an outstanding job with our wedding ceremony. We met with them previously before our wedding to go over details of what we wanted in our ceremony and it was great getting to know them. On the day of our wedding, they didn't disappoint! They made our ceremony so special by personalizing it to us and by making the mood light and fun in our hot outside wedding ceremony. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed our ceremony and some even said it was the best ceremony they had ever been to! Michael and Ken even danced and partied with us late into the night! I HIGHLY recommend MIB if you want an unforgettable and truly personalized, unique wedding ceremony.

Men in Black officiants were truly amazing and made our ceremony everything, and more than what we were expecting. They both worked with what we wanted and made it happen. Our families were very happy with how professional and wonderful they made the ceremony.

Just do it!! Michael and Kenny take the time to go over everything with the couple, send emails with links, reminders and suggestions as well as be a sounding board. They make your ceremony your own. Besides hearing the brides are beautiful, one of the top statements of the night was how wonderful the Officiants were and where did you find them. Everyone loved them! As the MOB, I couldn't have been happier with the ceremony. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You both are the BEST!

Rev. Warne & Rev. Carroll were INCREDIBLY responsive and helpful during the planning phase, almost providing so much info as to be overwhelming! But all of it is so useful because you need to know what all your options are before you decide what you personally want or need for your wedding.

There are different styles of ceremonies you can pick through, different wording for the wedding scripts, different rituals you can include in your ceremony, room to recite traditional vows or write your own, room to include readings -- really they are incredibly flexible in helping you craft a ceremony that is meaningful for the two of you getting married. It will really help you figure out what it is that means the most to you out of the options, which I think gives a better sense of your relationship.

I absolutely recommend the extra rehearsal booking because you will really enjoy meeting them and running through the ceremony. It'll calm the nerves to know what to expect. And they're both incredibly personable, friendly, and helped make our ceremony sincere, sentimental, and just the right amount of lighthearted. Enjoy yourself, you're getting married! And Men in Black will help you do it right.

My husband and I will be forever grateful for the Men In Black! Our wedding ceremony earlier this month was more beautiful that I ever imagined. It felt so personal and fit our personalities perfectly--the touches or lightheartedness mixed with the seriousness of the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. Our guests were raving all night and asking where we found our officiants! They gave us a wedding ceremony we will never forget!

The MIB were extremely professional, and made our day so very special. Our ceremony was able to be personalized to everything that we wanted so it was just right for our personalities. It was serious, yet simple and filled with so much love. We are so happy we found the MIB and we recommend them to anyone getting married and is in need of an officiant.

THANK YOU KEN AND MICHAEL, YOU WERE FABULOUS!

Eleven years ago I had the pleasure of attending my friend's wedding which Michael officiated. When my daughter announced her engagement in January 2015 I knew right away who I wanted to officiate it. Once they chose the date and tenatively had the venue I called Men in Black..it was then Feb 2015. I was so happy that they were available and would be able to come to Va to officiate. They continually communicated with us during the process. They took the time to meet with my daughter and her fiancee when they went to Delaware. They would send wedding tip emails...all appreciated information! Finally the day arrived 8/27/16. It was hot...Heather wanted the wedding outside...they took it all in stride and did an excellent job of officiating her wedding. It was a heartfelt beautiful ceremony. A wonderful remembrance for them as they begin their new journey together. So many of the guests told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony. We were especially happy that they stayed to celebrate with us at the reception! I could go on forever...my heart is full and we all have such a priceless memory of a beautiful ceremony thanks to Men in Black!! :)

We got married in July 2016 at Baywood Greens in DE. The Men In Black were perfect for our wedding. They were very helpful in collaborating with us to create our ceremony program. On the day of the rehearsal and the wedding, they were very helpful, having been through the process many times before. Highly recommended!

MIB were awesome. They were so easy to work with and provided not only information/support for wedding ceremony options and ideas but also information and tips on how to plan your wedding. They were very helpful and offered support on planning our ceremony that kept interest in all our guests, some of whom are very religious and some who are not at all. We were complimented by many of our guests how nice our service was. I would recommend them w/o reservation and already have to another couple getting married next year.

The men in black were amazing ! We planned our wedding so last minute that we weren't sure we would be able to find a good officiant to marry us. They took the time to get to know us as a couple for the few days before our ceremony. Then they were able to personalize our ceremony for us. My wedding was on the beach in ocean city and with them marrying us it was absolutely the most beautiful event! Thanks to them we had an unforgettable experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married!! Thanks again!!

"If we weren't already married, we would be looking at them to marry us" This was not the only positive comment I heard from my guests RAVING about our incredible officiants and I really cannot say enough. They are personable and full of surprises. They were awesome to work with, flexible, and yet gave amazing suggestions of unique things I had never seen done at a wedding before. There is a reason that they were the only officiants we met with. Do not waste time. Go with the Men in Black!

Rev. Msgr. Michael K. Carroll, USAFR & Rev. Mr. Kenneth R. Warne were incredible! We, the bride and groom, as well as our guests, enjoyed our ceremony. They even worked with personalizing it for us months before our big day. They took the time out and it wasn't a run of the mill, boring, long drawn ceremony. They injected lots of laughs and heart felt notes. We highly recommended Men in Black Officiants for everyone. We have even added them onto our preferred vendor list at the event venue we own!

IMPECCABLE. FLAWLESS. PROFESSIONAL. KIND. UNIQUE. TRADITIONAL. AMAZING. There aren't enough words. Their years of experience certainly shine through when customizing your wedding ceremony. We wanted a mixture of a traditional ceremony and a Catholic ceremony to honor our grandparents (we got married at a country club not a church). So finding a balance between the two, plus us saying our own vows, plus us having a little bit of humor to keep it light and happy. Man oh man, I didn't even know it was possible to get all of that into one ceremony! We got so MANY compliments on our ceremony. About how it had just the right balance of everything and was a ceremony our guests would never forget because they were so moved! Men in black was an honor to work with and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!

The men in black were absolutely amazing my and husband and I are both kind of shy. We do not like being the center of attention the men in black worked with us and made us feel very comfortable in our ceremony. Even though we were about an hour away from them they kept in constant contact with us leading up until the day of our wedding, checking to see if we had any questions or concerns. Also making sure our ceremony was everything we wanted. They are very creative they had many beautiful ideas on how to incorporate our children and mothers into our ceremony. Which I must say turned out better than we could've ever imagined. All of our family and wedding guests continue to compliment what a perfect job they did. We highly recommend them to anyone looking an officiant.

Where do i begin to express my gratitude to these 2 men who have done so much for me and my family? It started back in September, 2014 when we were scrambling at the very last minute to find an officiant for our daughter's wedding. Her pastor cancelled 2 days before the ceremony. Fate was good to us that day. We were brought together with 2 of the kindest, most professional (but hilarious) and wonderful guys who picked up the broken pieces and put everything back together again. The wedding was perfect.
Fast forward to a year ago. May 8th, 2015. The tenth anniversary of losing our son, CPL Nicholas Kirven, who was killed in action in Afghanistan. Michael and Kenny performed the most dignified and formal ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery where our son is buried. Family and friends gathered together at Nicholas's grave as The Men in Black led us in a beautiful remembrance service honoring our son and his Marine Corps brothers; something we will never forget.
This Sunday, Mother's Day, is May 8th. The Men in Black will once again come through for us. They will christen our first grandchild, a baby boy named after his uncle Nicholas.
I have never met or had the privilege of knowing two more caring and loving men. They have become a part of our family and we cannot say enough about how special they are.
Their reviews and ratings speak for themselves.
If you are lucky enough to have them be a part of your special day, you will not regret it. They are the absolute best.

The Men in Black officiated our wedding last May. They did an incredible job. They were reverent, professional, well-spoken, inclusive of all the different religions present at our wedding, and provided just the right amount of levity during the ceremony. They were easy to work with and easy to get a hold of. My wife is Catholic and I am not, which made doing a traditional Catholic wedding very difficult. We also wanted to get married on the beach. The Men in Black made all of this possible. Not only did they make it possible, they far exceeded our expectations. We got so many compliments on how well officiated our wedding was that we've now lost count. They did such an incredible job that when my sister got married this year, they also chose to use the men in black to officiate their wedding. Again, they exceeded all expectations. In addition, one of the guests at their wedding recently lost her husband and was having a difficult time at this wedding. During the reception Bishop Carroll and Reverend Warne noticed she was upset, and Bishop Carroll pulled her aside and gave her spiritual guidance. She was doing much better and looking much happier afterwards. They never looked to get credit for this or be recognized. They saw someone in need of their help and never thought twice about helping. Beyond the excellent officiating, it was the little things they did that really made both of these weddings spectacular. We are extremely happy we chose the Men in Black for our wedding. Not only would we recommend them to others, we have made the recommendation several times. Thank you for the great memories Michael and Kenneth!

We were married on October 30 2015. We had an outdoor ceremony at a beautiful location and Michael and Kenneth made it even more beautiful!! They provide you with so much information making it so easy to pick what you want to include in your ceremony. Everyone loved the ceremony and I have and still receive compliments about how great they were. They were so personable, funny and made us feel so comfortable. I highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed!!

Men In Black achieved the pinnacle of our expectations! As officiants for our winter wedding ceremony, we joined on the beach and never looked back. Michael and Kenneth were flawless and relaxed, gave great advice, and assisted in coordinating the event. Flexible and reasonably priced, I warmly recommend Men in Black for anyone in search of talented, experienced, confident officiants. Great sense of humor as well!

The Men in Black executed the most beautiful and heartwarming ceremony for us. All guests at our wedding said it was the best ceremony they've ever witnessed! The Men in Black will cater to exactly what you want - serious, funny, lighthearted, long, short, religious, nonreligious. They made us so calm, were prompt to respond, and so unbelievably trustworthy. I am not exaggerating when I say they will do whatever you want/need and even offer so much help in planning your ceremony and most importantly, making it personalized. We would work with them all over again. Ken and Michael we cannot thank you enough!

The men in black where amazing! We had at least 5 conference calls reviewing my ceremony, and the rehearsal. They helped edit my ceremony which was one of the more elaborate ones combining a same sex wedding with early Christian and Eastern Orthodox traditions. It all turned out amazing and right around an hour with the choir and bag pipes ! They were very patient, and helped do a lot of editing of the ceremony and script. They also did a great job with the incense and holy water it was really amazing ! They also looked great too!

Men in Black! We had such a great time with Ken & Micheal. They delivered a spectacular ceremony that we will remember for ever, and it is fair to say they had the audience in laughter and some tears. They are great people who relaxed us when we had nerves. They brought humor, spirituality and an excellent after service. Their help in the planning process was amazing, offering expert guidance along the way and keeping us in the know, especially since we were out of country. The offer a flexible approach and they know the little touches matter and this is what makes them exceptional! We will always remember our very special ceremony thanks to Michael and Ken. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone! A huge thank you to the Men in Black.

Men in Black made our wedding so special. Our wedding was held out of state, both Kenneth & Michael made sure we had everything we need for our wedding. Our family have mention that our wedding was one of the most beautiful wedding they had attended. We were both nervous, however my spouse to be was super nervous(almost to the point of fainting). Kenneth & Michael used humor to relief that nervousness. That was great to ease that nervousness and allow us to enjoy every moment. Kenneth & Michael had brought flowers and little surprises that we had not expected. It just added to our ceremony. Kenneth & Michael took the time after our wedding to talk with our family & stay for our little reception. If you our planning a wedding and are thinking of using Men in Black, you will not regret it. A great big Thank You to Kenneth & Michael...

Rev. Kenneth & Rev. Michael were officiants for a wedding that was held at The Universalist National Memorial Church. I have to say that these to gentlemen were soo unbelievably friendly. Not only were they always out engaging in conversation with guest from the wedding party but also made great acquaintance with the Pastor and Host of the church. They are such open and loving people. I very rarely saw them closed up in an office isolated from people. They are truly amazing people! We loved having them here.
