Everything we hoped for and more!
We were at a loss for who to officiate our wedding but found Ken through our venue and checked out reviews on Wedding Wire. After our initial meeting, we thought he seemed like a good fit and decided to move forward. Ken was a consummate professional and made the entire process seamless, from finding the right service for us to customizing it to our needs. He also saved the day when I realized at the 11th hour that I didn't have our marriage license and very calmly told me exactly what I needed to do and when. He did a beautiful job with the ceremony and even injected a little humor, which was a perfect fit for our personalities and a fun surprise for our guests, who absolutely loved it! He takes care of everything and even follows up with a resource email on how to begin the name change process, request a certified copy of the license, etc. With Ken as our officiant, we knew we were in good hands and that we had one less thing to worry about, which is all a bride ever really wants :) I cannot recommend him enough!We were at a loss for who to officiate our wedding but found Ken through our venue and checked out reviews on Wedding Wire.

Thank you Pastor Bob!
Thank you Ken and Pastor Bob for a wonderful wedding ceremony! Pastor Bob was so helpful in drafting up an emotional and personal wedding script that left myself, my husband, and our guests in tears. He asked the right questions and was able to format our ceremony to our exact specifications and also brought in the right amount of humor and religious aspects for us.

Easy, Organized, and Stress-free
My husband and I got married out of state in SC and Ken was super helpful throughout the process. He made sure we knew where to go apply for our license and even mailed our official marriage certificate to us. Ken offers a variety of ceremony packages with options to personalize with your own vows. Our ceremony was exactly how we wanted and so very special to us. I definitely recommend Ken and his team!My husband and I got married out of state in SC and Ken was super helpful throughout the process.

Ken was wonderful to work with leading up to and on our wedding day. We is so prepared for every question you may have. He helped us with all the steps of getting our marriage license, writing our own vows and now the name changing process. He was so kind, personable, calm and comforting through a nerve racking part of our wedding. Cannot recommend Ken enough!!Ken was wonderful to work with leading up to and on our wedding day.

Absolutely amazing!
Ken went above and beyond! He talked us through the whole process at the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. He made sure all of our questions were answered. At the end of the ceremony Ken stepped to the side without us asking when we did our kiss, which allowed us to get an amazing photo of just the two of us. He handled the process for us and was absolutely amazing!Ken went above and beyond! He talked us through the whole process at the rehearsal and the day of the wedding.

Our forever Bob!
Bob kept us grounded during our entire ceremony. He was truly the gravity for our experience with getting married. The groom was running behind, but Bob kept assuring me that it was okay and this was my only wedding. He was very calm during the entire process. I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Thank you so much Ken for deciding Bob was a good fit for us. He was absolutely amazing!!Bob kept us grounded during our entire ceremony.

Ken went above and beyond for our wedding. He was very communicative upfront and allowed us to customize our ceremony as much as we'd like. Due to Covid we had to reschedule our wedding a few times. He always made sure he was available for our wedding. We also had to cancel our wedding planner because of covid. Ken stepped up the day of our wedding and helped us coordinate everyone in attendance. In our wedding video we noticed how helpful he was during the procession and send off. I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you so much Ken for making our wedding day perfect!Ken went above and beyond for our wedding.
