Carl was the officiant for our wedding in May 2025 and I cannot recommend him enough!! Carl made the process of creating the ceremony so seamless for us and always assured us, amongst all the chaos, that we were on track and there was nothing to stress about. We were a little hesitant having someone officiant the wedding who didn’t know us – but Carl left us speechless with an incredible ceremony he put together that incapsulated my husband and I so perfectly. It was clear how intently Carl got to know us through our meetings and it truly showed during the ceremony. We would recommend Carl to anyone looking for an officiant in Rhode Island! He’ll forever be a special part of our day and we couldn’t be more grateful. -

If you are having trouble looking for the right officiant for your wedding look no further!! Carl was absolutely spectacular! He was professional right from the beginning, every little detail was there. He listened to all of our questions and concerns and made sure everything in the ceremony was exactly how we wanted it. Once the ceremony was over he provided us photo proof our marriage certificate was put in the town hall mail box for processing. To top it all off the money paid was donated to our charity of choice. 100/10 would highly recommend!! -

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant than Carl! From the very first call, we knew he was the perfect fit for our ceremony. Carl was incredibly professional and made the entire process feel effortless and fun. Our planning calls were such a joy—he took the time to really get to know us, listen to our story, and tailor every detail of the ceremony to fit us perfectly. The way he wove everything together made the day feel so personal and meaningful. -

Carl was incredible. He personalized our ceremony based off of getting to know us, which made it all the more meaningful to us. He was classy and professional and cared a lot about making the ceremony special. But what made the whole thing all the more meaningful was the donation he made on our behalf. What a thoughtful and meaningful way to give back to the world. We need more people like him, and I am honored to have had him as part of our wedding. Couldn’t have asked for more. -

I found Carl through my sister as he ordained their wedding and man, did we luck out! Carl is everything we hoped for and more. We communicated through emails and phone calls as we lived all the way in Texas and were having a destination wedding in CO. I can't say enough amazing things about Carl. He was professional, answered all of our questions, was communicative, and organized. Most importantly, as we went through the whole process we never felt judged. You are free to include religion as much or as little as you want in your ceremony and Carl supported us every second. The day of our rehearsal he showed up early and really ran the show to make sure everything was perfect for our big day (our bridal party was like herding cats and he handled them like a champ). On top of that–100% of the fees from your ceremony are donated to charities. I would recommend Carl to anyone and everyone! Thank you, Carl, for being such a huge support system and light on our big day. -

Laura Sent on 05/28/2021Amazing officiant, awesome guy
Carl was recommended to us by our venue, and we were initially excited to get to donate the $$ to a charity of our choice. We are SO HAPPY WE CHOSE HIM!!!! From the beginning, he was very professional and he really listened to us and heard what was important to us. We felt like he got to know us as people and he combined his expertise with our vision and was able to make a truly beautiful, unique ceremony. He is an excellent public speaker and great with words/great with people. My favorite parts of the ceremony were the infinity knot ceremony and the poem he read (by pablo neruda). Actually I also loved the personalization that he added about us/how we met and fell in love etc. *Sigh* It was all just perfect. There were a lot of tears of joy during the ceremony in the crowd and several people commented on how much they loved the ceremony. Oh best part - he made the whole process a breeze (super flexible, dependable, easy to work with). -

[Got married on 4.3.21]
I know I'm very late making this post, but better late than never. I don't often make reviews or comments, but Carl is definitely an exception, and I need to share with future brides, that Carl is absolutely the most chillest officiant you could ever ask for. I give credit to my then fiance, with whom I gave ONE task, which was to find us an officiant. And what can I say, other than, "What a great find!" Carl really is the greatest and you can tell he's done this for awhile. He is very organized, super easy to talk to, and honestly, a more good looking officiant than you would ever expect. I got soooo many compliments from my wedding guests of how how good looking he was; what an amazing smile he has; and what a great he has. Which brings me to share something that one of our wedding guests had told us, "Carl has an awesome voice. It's powerful. When he said to have everyone to silence their phones, I said, "yes God," and put my phone on silent."
Hilarious!
Working with Carl was nothing but easy and even though I considered the officiant to be the most important piece of our wedding, he gave me nothing to worry about. I appreciate him more for his thoughtfulness; being that his costs to be your officiant is 100% donated to any charity of your choosing.
I really hope my posts helps and convinces other brides to pick Carl, because I promise you won't regret it. -

Lindsay Sent on 10/12/2020Absolutely Amazing!
Carl is absolutely amazing and we were blessed to have him officiate our wedding ceremony this past weekend. Over the months leading up to our wedding, Carl walked us through the process by offering us suggestions and guidance as we picked out our vows, blessings, readings, and created the perfect ceremony for us! Carl is professional, responsive, detail oriented, and well-versed. He also took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple which made our ceremony super special and personalized...It was like he had known us for years! We couldn't have been more pleased and would highly recommend him to couples looking for an officiant! Thank you, Carl! -

Carl was one of our favorite vendors for our wedding! He was very professional and responded quickly to any questions we had. We loved that he spent an hour on the phone getting to know us as a couple so that he could really personalize our ceremony! We highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant. -

Heidi Sent on 10/21/2019Most Amazing Officiant Ever!
Carl was absolutely amazing to work with! He was extremely responsive and helped us a lot with the structure of our ceremony. He provided a ton of examples and suggestions of readings, which was a life saver since we didn't know where to start! He was able to walk us through our rehearsal easily and our ceremony went flawlessly. We also loved that all of the profit from his fees went to a charity of our choosing. We couldn't have found a better officiant, and if we were to do it again, he'd be the first person we'd think of!! You cannot go wrong with him! -

Stephanie Sent on 10/14/2019Wonderful!
We really enjoyed working with Carl! He was clear about everything upfront and made the planning easy. It was a very smooth process and he was great to work with. It was really nice to do the planning over the phone instead of having to make time for more in-person meetings (and we had a million of them leading up to the wedding). Everything went smoothly on our wedding day. -

We had an excellent experience with Carl as our officiant. He put forth a lot of effort to get to know us and our history as a couple.

Carl was an amazing officiant! He spent lots of time w/ us over the course of a couple meetings to really get to know us. He offered us lots of different types of wedding options that we could have included in our ceremony, ie., tying the knot, more traditional rituals etc. It is awesome that the $ he charges goes towards a charity of our choosing. I would absolutely recommend him and glad he got to be our officiant. -

Carl was amazing. So professional and personable. After the first two phone calls with him, it felt like we were talking to a friend! He has us laughing and crying when sharing details of our life, so he could come up with the best story to share! He was at another wedding the day before ours so he wasn't able to be at the rehearsal, but that didn't affect anything for the big day! It seemed we had known him forever! He made the whole process emotional and fun, and had all our guests laughing as well! He also donates all of the deposit and fees to charity! Would 100% recommend to anyone and everyone for their big day! -

Carl helped us create the ceremony of our dreams! He was so much fun to work with and gave us so many great suggestions at a time where we weren't sure what we wanted.

We absolutely loved Carl's approach and process as an officiant for our wedding ceremony. He took the time to get to know us and personalized the ceremony. His suggestion for a unity celebration (we have six kids between us) truly made the event memorable and so deeply meaningful. Carl comes with our highest recommendations. -

Kim Sent on 09/03/2018My husband and I are SO happy we chose Carl to officiate our wedding. He was extremely easy to work with and guided us through several conversations to plan the ceremony perfectly. Our family and friends assumed that we had known him for years based on how personalized the ceremony was, and he was very clear and well spoken. The fact that Carl donates his proceeds to the charity of our choice made us that much happier about working with him! He is a great officiant and we would highly recommend him to other couples. -

Dan Sent on 06/16/2018TO: Carl (Dan and Bill’s Wedding Dream Team Member!) WOW! Where do we begin? The Most Amazing Day EVER! After 29 years of partnership, we are now two weeks after our wedding held on Saturday, June 2, 2018 @ 3:30PM at Willow Ridge Manor, in Morrison, Colorado. We are still doing our best to come down from the biggest and best high we have ever experienced. We cannot express in words just how GRATEFUL we are to Carl Bloom of WED for GOOD and all the others who helped us have the most Spectacular, Awesome and Beautiful Wedding Day. Because of you, Saturday, June 02, 2018 turned out to be SO MUCH MORE than we ever dreamed or imagined it could be for the two of us. We want to let you know that we continue to hear from Family, Friends, and Neighbors this was the most organized and beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Several guests commented on how beautiful, fitting, and perfect the Vows were for us.
We HIGHLY recommend Carl of WED for GOOD to anyone. Our planning process was approximately 1 year. We could have NEVER got through it without Carl being there for us and to ensure we had everything we needed to understand the process and begin putting together vows that were personalized perfectly just for us. Also, we really appreciated his follow ups with us. This helped us stay on track with being prepared. Had you not done your follow ups in a timely manor as you did, we never would have been prepared.
We loved that you gave us so many examples of vows and let us piece together what would be right for us. It made the process so much easier for us.
We could go on and on, but in the end, we truly just want ALL OF YOU to know we recognize none of this would have been possible without each of you, and everything each of you did to help us have the most amazing day ever. It will never be forgotten! Simply amazing!
Thank You!

Excellent Experience
Ryan and I recently got married at Castle Hill Inn and were incredibly fortunate to have Carl as our officiant.
Through our year of planning, Carl proved to be genuine, communicative, and organized. We loved working with Carl and would highly recommend him to other couples.
Bonus points for him handling our ceremony with grace and humor when our fussy dog ring bearer unexpectedly broke out of his collar... :)
Thank you again, Carl! -

Experience with Carl
My fiance and I were recently married in November of 2024 and had the pleasure of working with Carl as our officiant. From the minute we reached out to him, to the moment we said "I do", we had a fantastic experience with Carl. The wedding planning for us was very stressful in general, but working with Carl made the ceremony planning one of the easiest parts. His calm and relaxed demeanor put us at ease. He spent time with my fiance and I ahead of time to get to know us, so that he could really personalize our ceremony and make it truly about us. He also offered up several recommendations to us if we needed ideas. It's very clear Carl is very passionate about the work that he does and it shines through the level of dedication he had to ensure we had the best possible ceremony. If you are recently engaged and looking for an officiant, I couldn't recommend Carl enough. -
