    Fun, faith-filled ceremony

    Reverend Ken was an incredible officiant! He was professional and responsive. We met for over an hour well before the wedding, so he could get to know us, and he was very focused on understanding our love story and how we got to where we were.

    The wedding was hands down the best ceremony I've ever attended. He involved the audience, made it personal, light, and fun, but it reflected our Christian faith. He encouraged us to have a unity ceremony, but not your average one. He suggested a wine box, and it was perfect. Reverend Ken is passionate about his work, and it shows!

    Best Officiant in the 757

    Rev Ken made it personal and memorable for my husband and I. Such a great personality. He was very prompt to the venue for both the rehearsal and the wedding day!

    Rev. Ken Lane is Just Awesome!!

    My then fiancé, now husband, and I were looking for someone that could not only cater to our needs, but also keep our guests engaged during our ceremony to make it one to remember. I have been to weddings where the ceremony is a bit of a snooze only because the officiant is reading straight from a book with no personality. Ken's style is very involved and full of excitement. Many of my guests had thought he had known us for years. Thanks again Ken for helping make our day a great one!

    - Carly D.

    Reverend Ken Lane's reply:

    Thank you so much Carly! You and Grant were such a wonderful couple to work with. I was honored to help turn your day into a celebration!

    Rev Ken is Awesome!

    Ken makes a commitment to celebrate you and do it in style for you, how you want it. He won't let your ceremony be boring. Ken has a great voice and can truly enthrall the audience. He's flexible and offers different styles if you're looking for religious traditional or more contemporary services. We had looked at a few different officiants but Ken's website and promotional teaser really got us interested in hiring him for our day. We did not regret having him as he is very easy to work with and really personable.

    Ken was amazing and so personable.

    Ken is absolutely amazing. He gets to know you as a couple and makes your day so special. He is truly gifted and this is his calling. He makes you feel as if he has known you for a lifetime. He puts you at ease and makes it memorable fun experience if that is what you want. He caters to what you need. I cannot say enough good things about this man. God truly put him where he is supposed to be. 100% recommend him to anyone.

    Reverend Ken Lane's reply:

    Thank you so much Smantha! We had so much fun that day and the weather there on the beach was absolutely perfect!

    Ken's your man.

    We needed an officiant fast. After hiring our original officiant shortly after our engagement, we eventually parted ways. Just a month and a half before our wedding, our planner was able to snag Ken Lane — and we're glad she did.

    How would we describe Ken? Boisterous, to start, but then what can you expect when your officiant doubles as a professional voice actor?

    Ken made things simple for us. He met us for dinner one night, asked all the important questions, and formulated his plan. He was respectful of our wishes, as well as our wishes to include other members of the family. Rehearsal with Ken was quick and painless. And the ceremony — sorry Ken, the CELEBRATION — was beautiful. He made it fun, he made it intimate, and he made it everything we could have hoped for...especially considering he had next to no time to do it.

    Ken's great. He helped lay the foundation for what we believe will be a strong, lasting marriage.

    Reverend Ken Lane's reply:

    Thanks so much Dale! You and Gabrielle were wonderful and your combined families made everything so much fun for that day. I am genuinely glad that you guys found me!

    Amazing! He was the talk of the wedding.

    If you want someone that is going to give you and your spouse your Dream Ceremony Kevin is the one. He definitely makes sure you guys know it about you and your needs on that day and no one else’s. He gives you exactly what you ask for in every way.

    Ken was absolutely amazing! We seriously could not have asked for anyone better to marry us. He made the ceremony heartfelt, fun, and kept everyone engaged! Could not recommend him enough!

    We highly recommend using Ken as your reverend! He is very upbeat and energetic. He definitely kept our friends and family engaged. His presence helps lighten the mood and makes for a comfortable ceremony when nerves can be high. Ken is very passionate about what he does!

    Reverend Ken was awesome! My now husband and I had our wedding creep up on us and 2 weeks to go we were nervous we didn't find an officiant for our wedding (as I am picky and didn't want to just settle). My husband contacted Ken and he said he sounded great, so we met him the weekend before the wedding, and I LOVED him. He was so open to whatever we wanted, yet he gave us some "typical" options to help us guide what we wanted for our ceremony. All the family told us they loved him, and we felt the same. If you want someone who is easy to talk to, funny yet professional, and makes for an amazing ceremony he's your guy!

    Rev. Kev Lane

    We loved him!
    My husband and I needed someone to perform a handfasting, and I am so glad we chose Ken! Our wedding was on Oct. 31, 2020. Not only did Rev. Lane step up last minute to fill the spot of someone who had backed out, but he made our day memorable!
    Several guests asked where we found him & asked for his contact info. The gods must have been on board, as well, because on the big day, my husband had a bowtie crisis, and Rev. Lane came to his rescue by lending him a tie that he had with him...and it matched my dress PERFECTLY!

    Thank you so much, Ken, for saving our wedding day!!

    Ceremony officiant

    Thank you, Pastor Ken, for officiating our wedding! You helped make this day perfect for us and our family. You took the time to get to know us and incorporated what you learned into our ceremony. No one who attended could have guessed that we hadn’t known each other for years. You brought just the right amount of humor to the ceremony and encouraged our family to get involved, which was very important to us. We enjoyed every minute of our time together and really appreciate how special you made our day!

    Ken is a must have!

    Ken was the perfect person to lead our wedding ceremony. He is funny, intimate, interactive, and entertaining. He takes the time to get to know details about each couple so the ceremony is personalized, like he’s known you forever. He can make the ceremony whatever you want it to be, and even gave us ideas on things to add in (like a unity ceremony). I can’t recommend him enough, he is absolutely fantastic.

    Best Officiant Ever

    Rev. Ken officiated our wedding in Aug. 2020. He was so kind, funny and animated! He made the nerves of our big day go away, kept us in the moment, incorporated our Christian faith and engaged all our friends and family. Wouldn't have gone with anyone else and neither should you!

    Extraordinary Experience

    When we first found Ken online, we were blown away by his professionalism and his personality. We enjoyed talking with Ken and he asked so many good and creative questions to get to know us. Ken crushed it at our rehearsal practice. The ceremony day, he was just phenomenal!!!! We got so many compliments from our guests, that he is the best out there. My maid of honors mom even said she wanted him as her daughters officiant. People told us we must have known him for a long time, but we told people no we didn’t, he is just that good. It really was like he got us and the ceremony felt so perfect, sentimental but with some laughter too. It was perfect!!!! Ken put so much thought into our ceremony. We love Ken and so did all our guests! Ken is a slam dunk, highly recommend you book him.

    Ken's The Best!

    When we were looking for an officiant, we were looking for someone who was as fun and outgoing as we are to bring everyone together on our special day. Ken came highly recommended on several sites and so we decided to meet with him. He's extremely personable and easy to talk to. We went to a wedding work shop that he holds for everyone who uses him as an officiant - and he gave some real life, good advice on how to strengthen our bond and to have a successful marriage. The day of the wedding he was flexible (since it was a covid wedding and there were lots of unknowns), and brought an incredible energy to our ceremony. We received so many complements about our officiant and we are very glad we chose him.

    Memorable ceremony

    Ken was an amazing officiant. My husband and I are not religious and he did a great job of having a ceremony filled with substance, without the religious aspect. He involved our family and our guests in a way that I have not seen before at a wedding. Ken was enthusiastic and created such a fun environment. We only met Ken once before the wedding, but you would have thought he has known us for years! We also attended his Marriage Toolkit Workshop, which was a fun evening. I would highly recommend Ken!

    Professional and personal

    We met with Ken about 2 months before our wedding to go over important details, options for the ceremony, and more. He also offers a marriage workshop, but we weren’t able to attend before the wedding due to my now husband being deployed. We spoke with Ken on the phone about a week before the wedding. His wife came to the rehearsal and knew everything we needed to know. At first, we were skeptical that Ken wasn’t there for the rehearsal, but his wife reassured us that they work together as a team and she knows how he does his ceremonies. Day of wedding came and Ken couldn’t have done better! I’m still hearing comments from family and friends days after the wedding. First he met with my husband, answered any questions he had. Then he came in to my room with the girls and made us laugh and got us excited with his humor and confidence! He calmed any nerves I may have had. For the ceremony, he got everyone involved, made everyone laugh, made my husband and I feel like the only people in the room. His words over us were so intimate and special. We are so thankful we had him as part of our special day!

    Fun but touching ceremony

    Oh my gosh Ken is the best! He was recommended to me by my planner, and after reading his reviews I reached out and luckily he was free for my ceremony! Ken managed to give me a ceremony that was tender and touching but also fun and peppy, and my guests absolutely loved him! So many asked how we had met him because they were blown away by his speech. Absolutely would recommend him if you are looking for an officiant.

    Ken was absolutely perfect for our wedding. He was a pleasure to work with. He setup an appointment to get to know us personally and led us through a marriage workshop where we got to meet other couples and learn about each other more. Ken is personable, professional but also funny and will make sure your ceremony is fun and not boring. thank you Ken.
