All-Faith Wedding Minister-Rev. Brian-Custom Ceremonies

y on our ceremony and helped us to incorporate all the important details (readings, acknowledgements of our loved ones passed, and the inclusion of a wine box ceremony). When we decided that we wanted to write our own vows, Rev. Brian gave us guidance and examples, which was super helpful as we didn't really know where to start with that! Leading up to the wedding day, Rev. Brian also checked in with us and gave us a checklist to make sure that we remembered to bring everything (super helpful!!). On the day of the wedding, he showed up early and we did a quick walk through of the ceremony, which helped make things go really smoothly later on! We had a couple little unexpected moments during the ceremony, but he was unflappable and even made a joke when our best man couldn't figure out which ring to give which person LOL! Rev. Brian is truly such a lovely, genuine person and we're so glad that he was a part of our day! We would highly recommend him!

y loved the ceremony. He was so great about communicating with us, and making the ceremony special and unique to us as a couple. He was so helpful, professional, and added that magic touch to our special day.

would highly recommend!

that he did everything in a month's notice as we planned our wedding rather quickly after pandemic-related roadblocks and uncertainties. Via his questionnaire, Zoom meetings, and e-mail, Rev Brian wrote and took edits on our ceremony, which was so personal and meaningful, incorporated traditions and readings representative of our backgrounds, and included our personal story. During the process, Rev. Brian also offered us advice and answered questions like, what microphone would work best to catch audio on a video and what light bulbs work best for the glass breaking. We are incredibly happy and grateful for his guidance, dedication, and expertise. Rev. Brian made us feel very comfortable and looked after when we were crafting the ceremony and on the day of the wedding. He was very engaging as our officiant and received so many compliments from our families. We recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant and a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony.

ding!

s. We really wanted everything to be personal and unique and Rev Brian worked with us to achieve that. He was open to all of our ideas and was always available to guide us. I was even a little nervous about my groom getting his vows written on time and Rev Brian helped to ease my nerves and made sure everything was perfect. We cannot recommend him more! Thanks, Rev Brian! Love, The Barbatos 9/21/19

Brian met with us early on in the process, and stayed in touch over the next year or so, sending us some really fun and unique ideas for our ceremony. He worked with us to make sure our wedding was truly reflective of us as a couple; he sent us very sweet recommendations for the ceremony based on things he knew we were passionate about (a really cute Harry Potter reference, since he knows we are both bibliophiles), making sure that each piece of the ceremony was exactly right for us. The ceremony was heartfelt and beautiful. He was easy to contact, fast to respond, and knowledgeable. Most of all, he was kind, happy and eager to assist, and fun to work with. He made our wedding incredibly special, and I strongly recommend him. Thank you, Reverend Brian!

pt and then was open to any feedback we had to ensure we were 100% satisfied. On the day of our wedding, Rev. Brian was a calming presence, and he moved some of our guests to tears with his genuine delivery of the ceremony. Thank you!

ter - we knew we wanted him to marry us. The whole process from your first meeting with Rev. Brian and planning everything is great. He is timely, genuine and he really cares about the couple he works with and gets to know them. I have since recommended him to many other people getting married. One got married before us and thanked me over and over for recommending him! Look no further because with Rev. Brian you are in good, caring hands.

g! Thanks Rev. Brian!

touch made the day even more perfect, pure eloquence! Thanks Brian, for participating in our special day, my family will treasure these moments for years to come. Jessica

y but he was also beyond helpful throughout the entire planning process. He checked in with us frequently to provide us with suggestions as needed and remind us of things to be done (vows, readings, marriage license etc.). We are so happy Brian was apart of our day, without him our wedding would not have been as special as it was!

y in the days leading up to the wedding. We highly recommend Rev. Brian.

s very involved from Day 1. We didn’t know the first thing about getting a marriage license or what to expect during our Wedding Ceremony, but Rev Brian was able to explain everything to us very clearly. Rev Brian even provided us with a full ceremony outline!!! My husband and I are both African American and we wanted to incorporate “Jumping the Broom” into our ceremony and Rev Brian was more than willing to work with us in order to make that happen. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful and we are so thankful for Rev. Brian. Rev. Brian, again Thank you for everything! We adore you! With Love, The New Mr and Mrs Arbubakrr ❤️

ld say mine in English that way both families felt comfortable. Thank you for making a ceremony perfect!

t only went along with and encouraged all of them, he also made suggestions on how to make them 10x better. From our very first meeting with him, he was extremely warm and made us feel super comfortable while he learned about our story. We felt this was very important, because by the time he officiated our ceremony last weekend, he basically felt like a very old friend who really knew us. He was receptive to everything we told him we wanted, while being honest about what he felt would not work and came up with alternate suggestions. We met with several other officiants who felt very salesy and pushy, before meeting with Rev. Brian and choosing him immediately. I am a very OCD perfectionist, which I'm sure was very annoying during the whole year leading up to our wedding, as we contacted Rev. Brian many times and made MANY changes to the ceremony draft and our vows. He responded to every single call, text, and email basically WITHIN THE HOUR, and always with endless enthusiasm and positivity. Our Maitre D was not present during our rehearsal dinner, and so Rev. Brian had to take the lead and instruct our entire bridal party and family how to walk and what to do for the more complicated rituals in our ceremony. He made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be and what they were supposed to be doing and did not leave until there were no more questions left. We appreciated him immensely for making this his responsibility and taking accountability for every bit imaginable. None of this can even compare to how awesome he was on the morning of our wedding. My now-husband and I were very stressed and freaking out about many of the details that the venue got wrong. Rev Brian took it upon himself to run around the hour before the ceremony, making things as easy as possible for us and righting all the venue's wrongs (chairs in the wrong place, no table behind us for our wine box ceremony, etc.). In addition to taking care of these details, he also took the time to stop into the bridal suite right before the ceremony to calm my nerves with some very sweet and meaningful words of wisdom. He answered every question with the utmost care and clarity and never seemed exasperated by our many requests and changes. We could tell through the whole process that he cared about us as people, that no matter how many ceremonies he has performed, he still approaches each one as a separate and unique event that he will bring his own personal sense of warmth to. His reading of our entire ceremony was perfect, not monotonous like many other officiants at weddings we have been to as guests. So many of our friends came up to us after, asking how we found him and that he was great! We cannot pay Rev. Brian enough compliments in how instrumental he was to helping create our perfect day. Our story, our vows, and everything ended up perfect and exactly how we imagined it. Thank you again, Rev. Brian!!!

ong the way. The ceremony was beautiful - Rev. Brian has a warm and welcoming personality and great speaking voice. He executed everything perfectly and gave us lots of options to personalize our ceremony. I would highly recommend him!

like planning things ridiculously in advance, and Rev. Brian plans everything about your wedding about 6 months prior, which was absolutely fantastic for me. I was able to see how the ceremony would play out months in advance. We also had a request that we wanted our immediate family members introduced into the ceremony, which Rev. Brian said he had never done before, and he executed it wonderfully. I could not have come up with a better way of doing so myself. And he did it all without a rehearsal! He also answers all emails very quickly, and answers any questions that you may have, including the process of getting your marriage certificate, which he did most of the work for by delivering the license for you and making sure you have all documentation before the wedding. It's honestly hard to describe in words how amazing Rev. Brian was the day of our wedding. The second he got to our venue, he was getting bombarded with questions from my family, the bridesmaids, and the groomsmen about what they should do, and how things should look, and he answered and helped everyone with grace and professionalism. He checked up on me before the ceremony to see how I was doing, and to go over last minute procedures with me. My ceremony could not have been more perfect and personalized, and it was all thanks to Rev. Brian. I would recommend him to everyone that is getting married and looking for an officiant without any doubt or hesitation. Thank you Rev. Brian for making my wedding ceremony a dream come true!

Very responsive throughout the evening hours, which was awesome considering I work night shift. He has different packages and products available, and is very accommodating for whatever you need. As the name implies, he does ceremonies for different faiths/orientations. He was happy to meet us at a mutually convenient place during the planning process, or even talk on the phone. He threw in some requested jokes during our ceremony, as well as some very touching moments while honoring my husbands late father. 100% would choose again!

beautiful our ceremony was and that was thanks to Rev. Brian! He was very responsive to communicate with and incredibly professional. We had a fantastic wedding ceremony thanks to him!!!

w special and personable he was. He’s nondenominational, so he’s flexible with regard to ceremony content. He has absolutely no problem adding unique aspects of the ceremony that you want or adjusting the language of the ceremony to be exactly what you want. We met with him in person before booking and he’s just so interested in telling YOUR personal story and having the ceremony be about you as a COUPLE, not giving a generic ceremony. He’s very funny and he’s also dabbled in acting so his stage presence is impeccable. He always gets back to you right away if you have questions, too. It was the easiest choice we made in our wedding planning and I would recommend him to anyone who wants their ceremony to really capture who you are as a couple, to really capture and convey your story to the people in the audience that you love the most.

d specifically for us was exactly what we envisioned. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. He even helped us organize the ceremony at our rehearsal, putting everyone at ease for the day of the wedding. We would highly recommend Brian for anyone looking for a custom ceremony that perfectly embodies the bride and groom. Amy and Curtis Clark

ng sure everyone understood their place (taking much stress off my chest lol). He is very kind, patient, and super accomodating! The day of the wedding went perfectly! So glad we got to work with such a wonderful person. Thanks so much Rev. Brian!

quick to respond, and reminded us to complete all steps leading up to the wedding. Rev Brian provided templates to help us write our own vows which was very helpful. On the day of our wedding, our ceremony was just what we wanted.. personal with the right amount of religious attributes. I would strongly recommend Rev Brian to anyone whom is looking for a fantastic officiant to help make their day just as special as ours.

Every person at the wedding couldn't stop talking about how much they loved the ceremony. Rev. Brian was so professional, and the ceremony went so smoothly!!! We would recommend him again and again!!!

ne to marry us. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and customized just to how we wanted it !! I've couldn't be happier with him, my guest are still commenting on how beautiful the ceremony was. Thank you Rev Brian for giving us a perfect wedding day !!!!!!

ure everything went smoothly and as planned. Rev. Brian is very personable, and we could not be more pleased with his service, guidance and support! Thank you so much! Vanessa & Tolga

vided templates and rough drafts multiple times and adjusted anything we asked for without hesitation. He was very informative of all options: who should hold rings, what songs to consider, the type of vows, what side we should walk down, where bridal party attendants should stand. His expertise and advice significantly helped in our decision making for the ceremony. Rev. Brian truly helped complete our dream wedding. It was an amazing experience to work with him.

faith. He understands both Judaism, and Christianity very well. The ceremony was done first as a rough draft which he timely sent us. Then we sent back any and all corrections. He double checked everything and made sure we had all the things we needed the week before. This wasn't his first time doing this, and it showed. He knew to remind us to have our witnesses picked out, as well as any and all ceremonial items we needed. At the rehearsal, he kept it professional. He helped the 9 bridesmaids and 9 groomsmen out on where to stand and how to walk in. The day of the wedding was a cake walk after we practiced. On the day of the wedding, he showed up well before he needed to, and it was great knowing there was one less thing to worry about. After the ceremony commenced, guests came up to us and told us that it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. Even "plus one" guests were crying that didn't even know us. I highly recommend Reverend Brian, and I would refer him to any recently engaged friends. Thank you Reverend Brian for helping make our day extra special.

ditions and then turn some traditions on their head. Rev. Brian was excited to rise to the challenge and helped create a wonderful and extremely personal ceremony. We heard nothing but rave reviews and compliments about how wonderful our ceremony was and how personalized it felt. Many of our wedding guests commented about how captivating Rev. Brian was to listen to and wanted to know how we found him! Rev. Brian is eloquent, confident, kind, and full of humor - a wonderful person to help lead this big moment in your lives and work with on creating your perfect ceremony. We were so happy to have such a kind-spiritual guide and consummate professional lead our wedding ceremony. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a ceremony that truly reflects you as a couple!

everyone to come down the aisle. Thank you, Brian!

plan everything relating to the ceremony! He poured his heart and soul into planning our ceremony and emailed me at all hours, both day and night, perfecting every detail for our special day. He reminded me of things that I forgot and was on top of us the entire time making sure everything went perfect! I HIGHLY recommend using Reverend Brian if you want a funny and personable Officiant for your wedding. All of our guests LOVED him and said he made the ceremony great! Thanks again Reverend Brian, we are so glad that you were apart of our special day!

v. Brian always found time to meet with us at odd times, whether it be through Skype or in NYC (where we live). Rev. Brian personalized our ceremony to be exactly as we wanted it to be and gave great advice along the way. We received many compliments after the ceremony on how personal and well written the ceremony was. Rev. Brian is also very friendly and outgoing and has a great personality!

ded us with numerous options for us to choose from for our ceremony. We were able to pick a ceremony that fit our personalities and needs. Rev. Brian was always available if we needed to discuss anything or make any changes that we needed. We highly recommend Rev. Brian and his services. Thank you, Rev. Brian for making our big day beautiful and stress free!

e ceremony. We called Rev. Brian to set up a meeting to determine if he would be a good fit for what we were looking for. He was very receptive to what we wanted, and asked us questions about our story. He made us feel very comfortable, so we knew we were making the right choice in booking with him. A few months before the wedding, he sent us a draft of the ceremony to review to ensure we were happy with it. Since we got married on the beach, there was no mic system, but Rev. Brian did a great job projecting his voice to ensure everyone could hear him over the sound of the waves without sounding like he was shouting. The ceremony that he put together for us was absolutely perfect! It had just the right amount of humor to keep our guests interested. We got a lot of compliments on the ceremony that he put together for us from not only guests, but from some of our other vendors as well. I would definitely recommend Rev. Brian for any style wedding ceremony, as he customizes everything about it to fit each couples needs.

Rev. Brian as our wedding officiant!

tations. Rev. Brian’s creativity and compassion easily comes across through his words, which made for the most beautiful and memorable wedding ceremony I could have ever asked for.

ny and really made our day special! Thank you so much!!!!

very step of the way. During our rehearsal he took charge (always with a smile on his face) and made sure we had a smooth and simple rehearsal where everyone understood what they had to do. It was just perfect. Prior to the wedding, he provided us with a variety of vows to choose from as well as the choice to write our own. He worked with us until we had the timeline of the ceremony and vows in place. The wedding ceremony was a total success, ran smoothly and everyone loved the vows we chose from the list of choices Rev. Brian provided. We would recommend Rev. Brian in a heartbeat to officiate/bless any/and all of your events. He was just a true pleasure to work with in every way.

with communications. Catered to all our requests. Certainly I'd have him there for any other upcoming events. Thank you so much Brian!

state and had to go with our gut when looking for vendors that were 1000 miles away. Rev. Brian was able to set up a skype appointment when it was time to set up our ceremony. He is extremely professional and does an amazing job paying attention to detail and getting the ceremony the way you want it. He definitely focuses on what you want to happen on that day! Rev. Brian was extremely helpful during the planning time and made our planning experience easy. On our wedding day the ceremony was a big hit. Several of our guests kept telling us how unique and great the ceremony was and that they enjoyed the personalized touch. We couldn't have been happier as to how our day went and Rev. Brian played a big part in that. If you're looking for a nontraditional and custom wedding ceremony...Rev. Brian is your guy!

ting with him to discuss our vows, he kept in contact and made everything easy for us. The ceremony was personal, sweet, funny and our guests are still talking about the incredible way the Rev. told our story and helped us express our love. Revered Brian is truly wonderful at his job and has much to offer. I will continue to use his services in the future for other celebrations!

details of how my husband and I met. It was exactly what we wanted. It’s hard to pick an officiant since almost all of them can customize your ceremony to your liking, but Rev. Brian was able to put together a wonderful ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives. He met with us, talked about our relationship, how we met and wrote a great ceremony script that we were able to review and amend if we wanted to. He had a great, clear speaking voice and I don’t think our guests had any trouble hearing him. A nice little touch that I didn’t even think about was that he stepped aside when we had our first kiss so the photographer took a picture of us without him in the picture. I thought that was a display of experience and thoughtfulness that I now look for at other weddings.

ailed information about every step we need to do, and he valued our opinions very seriously. On our wedding day, Brian organized everything smoothly, the chapel, the musician, the photographer and our party. He did a great job! Thank you Brian
