What People Are Saying
Ken was the first vendor I booked for my wedding and I am so happy to have found him. You can really feel the emotion and connection he makes with his couples and performs a wedding ceremony that you will remember forever. All of my guests couldn’t believe how amazing he was and how personable he made our wedding. I truly enjoyed getting to know him over the course of our wedding journey and I know I will keep in touch with him going forward. I especially enjoyed his Marriage Toolkit Workshop he offers to really dive into what a successful marriage entails. Truly just a wonderful human being. You won’t go wrong with Ken!

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.
– Kris and C.
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.
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.

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!
– Leslie P.
Ken was the perfect person to lead our 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 into our ceremony (like a unity ceremony). I can’t recommend him enough, he is absolutely fantastic.
– Juliette Z.
Rev. Lane was perfect! My husband and I had another officiant who backed out on us 30 days from the date. Rev. Lane agreed to perform our handfasting with only 1 month's notice, and he worked with us to create the perfect ceremony for US. My husband and I are not religious, and it was so nice to have an officiant who was willing to work with us on that. On the day of the ceremony, my husband had a bowtie crisis, but luckily, Rev. Lane had a tie that matched my dress PERFECTLY. He gave that to my husband and totally saved the day! Thank you so much, Ken!

Reverend Ken officiated our wedding in August 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. We wouldn't have gone with anyone else and neither should you!
- Autumn P.
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 was incredible! I never imagined that I would be belly laughing at the altar with my groom! Our guests loved his bold unconventional ways! His weddings are the perfect blend of traditional, intimate, and engaging! During some of the moments we were truly able to forget everyone around us. He makes you feel so calm! I am so thrilled that he was able to marry us! We cannot thank him enough for sharing in our big day! – Angela M.
