Pastor Kirk was truly a blessing on our special day!! He showed up with such a warm and peaceful presence about him. Our wedding didn’t exactly go as planned but it didn’t phase him a bit! He was kind and compassionate throughout every bit of it.
It never felt like I just hired any ol body to marry us, but a genuine soul to bless our marriage. Thank you pastor Kirk and his wife Bobbi for absolutely everything!

Kirk was fantastic! I happened to be a wedding planner for my friends where he was the officiant so when our big day came we knew who to call. We cannot thank Kirk enough for making our day all the more special

remony was the best they had ever been to. Kirk caters to what you want. His experience as an officiant shines through as he is great at speaking and capturing the audience. There is also no pressure to bring religion into the ceremony if you do not want to. Our ceremony was about 15 minutes where he touched on love, marriage and alittle religion. It felt like we had known him for a while. Highly recommend.

What a thrill to then join you and my best friend together in holy matrimony on the beach of Siesta Key. To see the joy in your life and your children’s lives knowing you were meant to be together. I love you both and proud to have been used by God to bring you two together. Forever grateful , Captain Kirk
