Personable, Professional, and Kind!
Luke did an absolutely incredible job officiating our wedding in Punta Cana last month. He is professional, organized, he took the time to make the script capture our love, and his delivery was perfect! He takes the time to meet with you and let you see the script first. He also was present for and helped with our rehearsal run through to make sure everything went smoothly and we all felt confident the next day. Not only is he very well spoken, but Luke and Caren are the most kind, genuine, and humble people! We are so grateful to have had them be a huge part of our wedding day and make it so special.Officially Oaks's reply:
Thank you Kara for your extremely kind and thoughtful review! We were thrilled to join you and Andrew in the beautiful Dominican Republic, and were honored to be able to tell your love story to your friends and loved ones. Thank you for trusting Officially Oaks with your special day! -

Lara Sent on 01/22/2024The Best Decision
Luke and Caren are the absolute best and were saviors to our wedding. We texted them in a panic a couple of weeks before our wedding and they were so eager to help! They respected our concerns, due to some family dynamic issues, and the ceremony was all that we ever wanted and more. They are wonderful people and so extremely passionate about their job. If you're looking for a personal, customized wedding and just want it to be special, please go with Officially Oaks. You can end your search! You won't regret it. We love you Luke and Caren!Officially Oaks's reply:
We were absolutely honored to serve you and Jordan on such a special day! The joining of two families, cultures, and beliefs is a beautiful thing, and we are so happy to hear that we crafted a ceremony that fit your vision for the day. We are so grateful for your friendship and trust, and look forward to seeing your beautiful marriage unfold! -

Luke was great to work with. He’s a really nice guy, and his wife Caren is very sweet as well! He’s very thorough, and has good options/tiers to choose from. He did a great job at our ceremony - literally 2 of our guests thought he was one of our friends that how personal and amazing the ceremony was!!Officially Oaks's reply:
Thank you Madeline for your 5-star review! We loved getting to know you and Thomas and we were honored to serve you on your special day. We are so grateful for couples like you! -

Genuine. Reliable. Professional. These are just a few words I would use to describe our experience with Luke and Caren Oaks. We actually met them through a friend and are so glad we did. Working with them was so easy and fun from beginning to end. They took the time to really get to know my husband and I so they could write a speech that was as big and special as our love story. We needed a lapel mic for our ceremony and Luke went the extra mile to buy one so we wouldn't have to worry. Talking to Luke during our prep calls was like talking to an old friend so it made it not only easy, but enjoyable. On the day of the wedding, Luke was prompt, professional and delivered the wedding reading of our dreams. We couldn't recommend him and Caren enough! Thank you for everything, Officially Oaks!!Officially Oaks's reply:
Bianca - we are so grateful for you and Alex! We are thrilled to hear that we provided you with the wedding of your dreams. Your celebration was joyous and loving, and set the stage for a wonderful married life ahead. Wishing you both a beautiful 2024 and beyond! -

This company is the ONE you want yo use. Luke, THANK YOU SO MUCH. We are so grateful and thankful to you. You seriously were meant for this and made us truly feel like you got to know us and made the ceremony so beautiful! And the way you supported Dylan and even got him through and gave a supporting pat when I walked down the aisle, those moments were so precious to see because it really showed how much of a real and good hearted person you are! I’m saddened I wasn’t able to say hello and spend much time day off to let you know we were so grateful but one thing is for sure, we made the absolute best choice choosing you! So thank you again. You deserve all the praise! And thank you to your wife for setting it all up behind the scenes!Officially Oaks's reply:
Thank you for your review, Samantha! We were thrilled to join you and Dylan on this most special day, and we are so thankful for your heartfelt words! We absolutely love what we do, and we're so grateful we have incredible couples like yourselves! -

Leila Y. Sent on 01/06/2024Made our wedding extraordinary
Luke and Caren exceeded our expectations as wedding officiants, delivering a truly exceptional and personalized ceremony. From the outset, their professionalism stood out. They went the extra mile by sending us individual surveys, demonstrating a commitment to tailoring the script to our unique story. This attention to detail made our ceremony feel incredibly intimate and special. Meeting with us a few days before the wedding, Luke ensured that every detail was in place, providing a reassuring touch that added to the overall smoothness of the event. Their dedication and thoughtful approach made our wedding ceremony an unforgettable and joyous occasion. We wholeheartedly recommend Luke and Caren to any couple seeking officiants who truly care about making your special day extraordinary.Officially Oaks's reply:
Thank you for your extremely kind 5-star review, Leila! We were honored to tell the love story of you and Jerry on your special day, and are grateful to have been included. We're wishing you a fabulous life together! -

James M. Sent on 07/24/2023HIGHLY recommended if you would like to complement a beautiful location with a beautiful ceremony and vows!
My now wife and I were going to write our own vows but wanted them to be somewhat consistent in tone and length. Our excellent wedding planner, Stephanie Tan at Peachy Events (who we highly recommend), suggested Officially Oak. We met with Luke and he created a custom introduction based on our questions asked. He also reviewed our individual vows and gave feedback on them.
During our wedding ceremony, Luke was very warm and gave it a great, light feel! Our guests really loved the ceremony and our vows, combined with the Butterfly Garden and beautiful flowers by Linda from the Secret Floral Garden, made it even more perfect!
Overall, HIGHLY recommended if you would like to complement a beautiful location with a beautiful ceremony and vows! -

Jessica M. Sent on 12/20/2022Luke is the best!
Luke was our officiant at our wedding and we couldn't have been happier! The process to getting our script and vows was super easy and we really felt at ease the entire time, knowing we were in good hands. Luke 100% captured the nature and feel we wanted to convey during our ceremony and it was exactly what we were hoping for. We had a few laughs, a few emotional moments and everything in between. He was SO easy to work with and was super nice the entire time. Caren was also such an amazing help from the beginning to the end. We genuinely enjoyed working with Luke and Caren and would recommend them to anyone. Out of all our vendors, they were definitely one of the best!Officially Oaks's reply:
Thank you for your kind review, Jessica! I loved working with you + Zach to ensure that your ceremony at the Houstonian was exactly what you were hoping for and made you feel at ease. Caren and I are so glad to know you couldn’t have been happier with your experience. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! -

Morgan D. Sent on 10/26/2022Officially Oaks is a dream
Luke officiated our wedding on 10/22/22 and we could not be happier! From our initial conversations, getting to know each other on zoom, all the way through to the ceremony, Luke and the team absolutely nailed it. Luke made us feel so comfortable and gave such amazing suggestions while preparing for our ceremony. He is totally professional and customizes everything to be exactly how you want it based on your personalities. The team went through extensive questionnaires getting to know us, and our guests even thought he was a good friend of ours! He is so personable and truly just made us feel so comfortable during such a high pressure moment being in front of a crowd. We are so grateful to have worked with him and the team can't recommend them enough. Hire Officially Oaks immediately!!Officially Oaks's reply:
Thank you for your kind review, Morgan! It was so fun to work with you + Mike to tell your story as part of your ceremony - and to work with you on your custom vows to ensure they captured your personality and promises to one another. It was a pleasure to celebrate you at your reception and get to know you both even further through your best men / maid of honor speeches. Wishing you both a Happy Holidays and beautiful life ahead!! -

Amazing Officiant
Luke had mentioned during one of our first meetings the many times guests don't realize that he doesn't know the couple and think he's a long time friend and that couldn't be more true. Luke is amazingly professional and very kind. My now husband and I had been struggling to find an officiant as my husband has his faith while I am more spiritual. We had been turned away by a few officiants when we finally reached out to Luke per recommendation of a friend whose wedding he had officiated.
He is super personable and always open to jumping on a call which we appreciated because we struggled to explain to him what we were looking for in a script. Luke wrote us an entire ceremony script and when my husband and I read it we wanted to make a large amount of revisions to our embarrassment. It's hard for any couple to know exactly what they want to hear in a ceremony until you actually read one. We explained to Luke that we were looking to not have a ton of specifics in our ceremony as we were doing personal vows and preferred a more generalized script speaking to love and finding your person. A script that felt like us but that our guests could also see their own love and relationships in. Luke absolutely nailed it and we couldn't be more grateful - so many of our guests love the ceremony, when I feel like many times for weddings that is not the case.
I would recommend Luke in a heartbeat and hope to see him work with our friends in the future.Officially Oaks's reply:
Kristi!!! Thank you so much for your review, it was my absolute pleasure to be a small part of your and Matthew's big day at Villa Venezia. It's so tough to know exactly what you're looking for in your ceremony script until you have the opportunity to sit down and see a draft. Your final ceremony content was so beautiful, and created such a touching moment where we could celebrate your + Matthew's love in abstract, while also allowing your friends and loved ones to reflect on the loving relationships in their own lives. I hope to see you again at a future wedding as guests in due time! :) -

Officially Oaks Review!
We absolutely LOVED having Officially Oaks officiate our wedding. Luke and his wife Caren were extremely helpful in preparing our ceremony script and making us feel comforted throughout the whole process. Personally, out of all the vendors we used for our wedding day (florist, makeup artist, photography etc.) Officially Oaks was the most professional and on top of everything. On the day of our wedding, Luke was very professional, interactive and funny! Our guest loved how he told the story of our lives together leading up to our marriage. We received multiple compliments the night of our wedding about Luke's job as an officiant as well as after the wedding. We would strongly recommend Official Oaks as your wedding officiant! They are AMAZING :)Officially Oaks's reply:
Lauren! Thank you so much for your kind review. I likewise absolutely loved working with you + Dawson to ensure that your ceremony at Madera Estates captured your story together leading up to your marriage. Caren and I are so glad to hear that you felt comforted and supported throughout the whole process of preparing for your wedding day. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! -

Ashley W. Sent on 12/19/2021AMAZING officiant! 10/10! So professional!
Luke was absolutely amazing! He was very professional and poised when reading his ceremony to all of our loved ones. He made it personal yet legitimate! After I saw my friends and family after they kept telling us "our friend" did amazing and it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they have ever been to! Officially Oaks is the best wedding officiant to hire! We also had a few zoom calls leading up that calms your nerves and makes you feel prepared. No ifs and or buts, I would recommend to anyone!Officially Oaks's reply:
Thank you for your review, Ashley! I loved getting to know you and Shawn so well, and your ceremony was certainly one of the most beautiful I've had the privilege of officiating. You + Shawn were the perfect bride and groom in helping me to capture your love and ensure your ceremony was personal and unique to your story. Wishing you both a Happy New Year! -
