Brian is the best! He really got to know us and wrote one of the most heartfelt, funny speeches that conveyed both levity and depth. So many of our guests told us it was one of the best ceremony speeches they’d heard of recent. We feel so lucky to have been able to have Brian as our officiant! If you’re looking for a professional officiant that will have your guests asking “Is he family? He knows you so well!” than Brian is 100% your guy!
Brian was amazing at turning our 10 year relationship story into a ceremony script. He worked with us so well and everyone complemented on how beautiful our ceremony was. Our photographer even said he had an amazing voice and it was one of the best ceremonies he has seen. I definitely recommend Brian to everyone who needs an officiant!
Brian was absolutely amazing and so easy to work with!! His script was phenomenal! It was so personalized as if he’s known us forever and had a touch of humour throughout the ceremony which is exactly what we wanted😄 Can’t recommend him enough!
Brian was the first and only person we interviewed. From the moment we met him, we decided we did not need to interview anyone else. He blended our stories together into a magnificent, entertaining, and touching service. All of our guests were very impressed as well. Highly recommended!
Brian was awesome to work with! He was very easy to communicate with and always answered all of our questions. He made the process for getting our marriage license so easy and knew exactly what he was doing the day of the wedding with filling out the papers so we did not have to stress about it! The personalized ceremony script he wrote up for us was so beautifully written. We asked if he could include some catholic verses in the script and he made the script flow so nicely with it. He also told our love story and had our guests laughing, tearing up and smiling throughout it. It was definitely unique to our love story and our guests talked about how beautiful it was. He did such an amazing job, I would recommend to anyone!
Brian is absolutely incredible to work with and is truly a professional at what he does! Our wedding ceremony was so beautiful and personalized to us as a couple, 3 weeks later I am still receiving so many compliments from guests! As high school sweethearts, we really wanted to ensure our genuine love and friendship came across rather than a generic ceremony layout and Brian beyond delivered on that.
From the bottom of our hearts — THANK YOU for making our day so special and memorable.
Brian was incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and easy to work with throughout this entire process. He took the time to really get to know us as a couple through phone sessions and the Q&A, and the script he wrote captured our love SO beautifully-there wasn’t a dry eye in sight! He also laid out clear, helpful instructions/tips for marriage license filing with our township (I honestly thought this was going to be way more of a drag than it was!) I highly recommend him for your officiating services, it is guaranteed he will make your wedding day all the more special!
I can't recommend Brian enough!! From our first phone call to the day of the wedding, Brian was so easy to talk to and made the ceremony planning seamless. The script he wrote for our ceremony was amazing - he is able to connect with you as if you have known him all along! We cried, we laughed and it gave our guests the perfect glimpse into the love story of me and my husband. So many guests praised Brian and his script for a perfect ceremony.
We highly recommend Brian for those looking for someone to officiate their wedding ceremony! From the very beginning Brian was so easy to work with and very responsive. We had seen great reviews all over and decided to book him as our officiant for our October 2023 wedding. Brian helped us to craft a beautiful script for our ceremony that perfectly incorporated elements we were hoping for along with some added humor, storytelling, and consistent professionalism. It was reassuring to know he had so much experience as an officiant and it took away a lot of our worries. Brian also helped us to apply for and receive our marriage license. Overall, he made both our ceremony and marriage license process go extremely smoothly and he was wonderful to work with!
Bring Brian on board right away! Working with him was an absolute delight. During our ceremony, it felt like he had known us for ages. Brian effortlessly blended laughter and heartfelt moments, leaving a lasting impression on everyone. His ability to weave in every detail we shared about ourselves, our journey, and even our family dynamics made the ceremony truly enchanting – he even managed to include our sports team rivalries, adding a fun touch! Our day couldn't have been more perfect, and we'd relive it in a heartbeat if we could.
We loved working with Brian!! He made the process so easy from when we first booked him, all the way up to helping us figuring out our marriage license, signing our ketubah, and incorporating special touches. My husband and I are from two different faith backgrounds and Brian did just such a nice job of creating the perfect story incorporating both our faiths and our families. The ceremony was lovely; Brian got our vision perfectly and every part of the day went so smoothly with him. I would highly recommend booking Brian for your day! (Bonus points- Brian dove out of the way for our first kiss at the alter and we love having a picture of just the two of us up there!!! :) )
Brian the Rev was awesome! We got married on 10/27/23. Brian made our ceremony so special and he was great to work with! Highly recommend Brian the rev!
The script Brian wrote for our wedding ceremony was just perfect! Her made our wedding ceremony so special and every one thoroughly enjoyed it. Brian was always professional and extremely easy to work with throughout the planning process. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for an officiant for the big day!
Brian was the most amazing officiant!! Our family and friends cannot stop talking about how great our ceremony and officiant was! Brian was charismatic and really made it feel like he had known us throughout our relationship. Our ceremony was the perfect mix of serious and funny, and he added in all the details that we wanted. He was absolutely amazing to work with and I highly recommend him!
Brian was absolutely incredible and completely exceeded all of our expectations. When we were looking for an officiant we wanted someone who could perform a ceremony that had a good mix between serious and fun, and he absolutely hit it out of the park! We had so many guests come up to us to compliment how incredible and beautiful of a ceremony it was, and asked how long we had been friends with Brian, because he told our love story so well it’s like he had known us forever! He also answered all of our questions and helped us with all the tedious paperwork so it was one less thing we had to stress over. If you are looking for an officiant, look no further, The Rev is the one!
SO many of my family members and friends asked me and my husband how long we've been friends with Brian, that's how great of a job he did officiating our wedding! No one could believe us that we never met until that day, he made it seem like he knew us for years, with all of the inside jokes and details he put into his speech. We wanted someone who would make the ceremony light-hearted and fun. Any nerves we might've had were completely gone when he started talking- he had us laughing the whole time and he was sentimental at the perfect times. He was so great to work with, we were so happy that we found him!!
Bria man is amazing! He is nice and funny and puts together your personal touches into a personal and entertaining ceremony. He is so flexible when it comes to the license! I forgot it at the hotel and cousins find it in time to be signed the day of the wedding, but the next day my husband drove to meet him and jt was all good! He gave us the documents needed to fill out and a how to guide for the license and how to get the certified copies. He made the process easy!
Stop your search, you’ve found the best officiant! Brian was amazing and had our entire wedding convinced he new my husband and I for years with the way he shared our love story. It felt so personal, and he had everyone laughing and crying at all the right times! I can’t thank him enough for his patience with all of our questions throughout the whole process and especially day of. We are so lucky to have found Brian, and can’t recommend him enough!
Brian was all the rave at our ceremony! We got so many compliments on how personal the ceremony was, how all of our guests (men and women!) were crying with emotion and were laughing at the touch of humor he put into the script. It was exactly what we envisioned. We both cannot speak in public, and when we talked about vows Brian helped keep it as simple as possible for us which made it a lot easier. I cannot recommend Brian enough, best decision we made!
Brian was really great! He made the entire process so seamless and easy. He customized our vows perfectly and added some humor in the best way. I highly recommend!!!
Wow, where to start with Brian. The entire experience was amazing, start to finish, from our initial meeting through to our wedding day. Brian took the time to learn about us as a couple and he drafted a hilariously wonderful ceremony script that really captured the essence of who we are. Many of our guests thought we had known him for years. Beyond that, Brian is communicative, responsive, and helpful in assisting you to understand the marriage license process. Highly recommend hiring Brian as your officiant. You will not be disappointed!
Working with Brian for our big day was a huge relief as he made the entire process seamless and like a fairy tale for our ceremony. He was very responsive when my husband and I wanted to review details for the big day or had any questions while also being very kind to work with. We had so many compliments about how our ceremony went! Brian spoke with such confidence and clarity while also making it lively as he shared our love story. There were funny moments alongside sentimental and was an overall beautiful ceremony. I’m so thankful that Brian was available for our big day as he was a true highlight of the weekend.
Wow wow wow what an amazing ceremony. We had a FaceTime call with Brian as we live out of state and we knew right away he was perfect for our ceremony. We are not the most religious of people, my husband a little more so than myself, so it was important that we kept the religious tones to a minimum and focus on having more of a fun/lighthearted as well as romantic ceremony. It. Was. Perfect. People laugh, people cried, it was everything we hoped for and more. Brian had sent my husband and I a set of questions to answer and that’s what allowed the ceremony to be so perfectly balanced between funny and romantic. Our guests got a glimpse into our relationship and could feel the love we shared. The ceremony itself was a perfect length, as I did not want anything too long. And Brian is so seasoned he even moved out of the way while saying you may kiss the bride so he was not in our first kiss picture. Brian is such a professional and a delightful person, and if he is available for your wedding day I suggest you book him before someone else does!
Wow I can’t even express how WONDERFUL Brian is. My ceremony couldn’t have been more personalized, beautiful, and perfect. He was a breeze to work with and walks you through every step leading up to ceremony and after. We didn’t even rehearse the day before and it was perfect. I wish I could listen to Brian tell everyone’s love stories he’s that amazing. If you are questioning who to hire stop here :)
Brian made sure our ceremony was unique to us and was so supportive during this entire process. My guests are still raving about his ceremony and how funny it was!
Brian was our officiant last week and he was nothing short of fantastic. So many of our guests commented on how great he was and were wondering where we found him. They actually thought we knew him and that he gave “uncle vibes”, which is so accurate and describes him perfectly! He has a great energy about him and knows how to capture your unique love story. He made our ceremony engaging and extremely comfortable for the both of us. Can’t recommend him enough!
Brian "the rev" was truly incredible - I cannot tell you how many positive compliments we got after the ceremony for weeks to come! Brian was the one and only officiant we spoke to and we knew after our first conversation, he was going to be great! His energy is infectious and he did such an amazing job sharing our love story and made it feel like he'd known us for years. Brian personally wrote out a customized ceremony for us through our answers provided by us from his questionnaire which really helped us look back and reflect on our relationship! The ceremony was the perfect amount of romantic, sentimental, humorous and overall completely our vibe! Brian also easily adjusted when we asked last minute to cut out the wine unity segment due to us running behind! Brian absolutely nailed it and we could not be more grateful!!
Brian was so fun to work with and made our wedding ceremony so personal and funny! Our guests were laughing right along with us throughout our ceremony as Brian told the story of how my husband and I met. He even brought a few tears to my husband’s eyes (not an easy task) as we prepared to say our I do’s. He was so helpful during the planning process as he helped us navigate the process for filing our application for our marriage license and then he even filed our actual license for us after our wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests about how perfect our ceremony was and how personable our officiant was! I have personally never attended a wedding ceremony that was so cute and fun (I’m not just being biased!), and we are so happy we chose Brian “the Rev” to officiate our wedding!
We are grateful and blessed that Brian was our officiant for our wedding day! The reviews on The Knot are on target and we could not have been more pleased with Brian's communication with us, asking us to share our love story, and him writing our story so eloquently. Our guests complimented Brian to no end after the ceremony and we are so happy for the smiles, laughs, and tears that were shared by all! Thank you for everything Brian!
I can’t recommend Brian enough! Less than a week before our ceremony, we found out our original officiant wouldn’t be able to make it as he became ill with something contagious. Brian graciously filled the role for us on short notice. He emphasized how important it was to him to make the ceremony personalized for us, and even with just a few days until the ceremony, he took the time to meet with us over zoom and then get information about our love story via email. The ceremony that he wrote for us was personal, touching, and very special. I don’t think the day would have been the same without Brian. He was also flexible, as we had planned to get married on the beach but hurricane Ian had other plans. We ended up getting married in the living room of our family vacation home, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. It just goes to show that no matter the setting, Brian can turn it into a beautiful service. Also, he was so helpful with filing the marriage license and providing us with the information we needed to get a certified copy. He maintained great communication throughout. If you’re on the hunt for a wedding officiant, definitely give Brian some consideration!
Look no further! Brian is the perfect choice for you. Brian was brought to our attention by our venue and we’re so glad they did. Having Brian preside over our ceremony was like being up their with a close friend. He did an amazing job detailing our relationship, creating spot on “i Do’s” and transitioning the ceremony to our readers. You really are in great hands. We were so happy with our the ceremony went and our friends and family were raving about him as well.
Brian the Rev did a great job at our wedding ceremony. Our family and friends were in tears listening to him explain our story. Very reliable and had such great energy. Highly recommended!
Brian made our special day perfect. He took the time to incorporate our love story into life. I highly recommend him if your are looking to tell your love story with a few chuckles.
Brian the Rev is incredible!! My Husband and I are so lucky that he was able to officiate our wedding. We don’t have a way with words but thankfully Brian is the best of the best. He delivered our love story so beautifully and we are so grateful! He had our guests laughing and crying. We would choose him over and over again. Thank you so much Brian for creating the most perfect and personable ceremony speech!!
I truly don’t even know where to begin. A year later, I am still hearing from family and friends about how amazing our officiant was. Planning a wedding is stressful enough without having to write our own vows. Brian said everything we wanted to say better than we would ever be able too. It was funny and emotional all at the same time. He planned everything perfectly, right as you felt you were about to cry, he would throw in something funny to make you laugh. I never thought a ceremony could be as personal as it was, without having us do our own vows. He was extremely accommodating and professional. Words still cannot express the gratitude I feel. The entire ceremony was beautiful and seamless. I can’t help but compare officiants when I go to other weddings, and to this day I still believe Brian is the best! We are so happy with our decision!
Brian was fantastic as an officiant and we heard over and over from our guests how great Brian did. We wanted a ceremony that felt very personable and true to us and were leery at first about having someone we hadn't met before lead our ceremony. Brian told our love story beautifully and it was like he had known us since the day we met. He was very energetic and you could tell he really prepared in advance and took the time to build a perfect script. We would highly recommend Brian!
When I found Brian and read his reviews I thought he sounded great. When we had our first meeting via zoom I knew he was perfect for us! He was sensitive to our needs for our wedding. Brian gave great ideas on how to include my son more into the ceremony, such as the sand unity ceremony, that we ended up doing. He had us answer questionnaires because we didn't want to write vows and he included everything we said into his speech. At our rehearsal ceremony he completely ran the show like a pro and helped us all when we had no clue what to do. About 3 hours before our rehearsal, our DJ, just six days before the wedding canceled because he was sick and Brian offered to connect us with someone he knew. Though the venue found us a replacement super fast and we finalized everything with their DJ that night, it was so awesome that Brian went above and beyond to try to help us. The ceremony was beautiful. I was a nervous reck, so having Brian there to do all the talking was a relief. He said what we would've liked to say if we could. Brian made people laugh, which did help me with the complete knot I had in my stomach. I could just go on and on about how great he was and how everything turned out. Finding the right officiant really makes all the difference!
Can't rave enough about Brian! Not only was he a part of our tiny ceremony on our original date last year, but he was also a part of our full postponed wedding for all of our family and friends due to Covid this year! Both ceremonies were beautiful, thoughtful, and felt like they perfectly captured who we are as a couple. He was wonderful working with us to incorporate details and our own written vows into it so it was incredibly special! I couldn't be more thankful that he was able to be a great part of our love story!!
Brian the rev married my husband and I about a month ago, he was incredible! He was always prepared and answered all of my burning questions I had leading up to the special day! All of my guests absolutely loved Brian and the way he told the love story between my husband and I. He had the perfect mix of making people laugh and cry happy tears! He made me feel very calm during the entire process and especially on my wedding day!
I would 100% recommend him to anyone getting married!
Thank you so so so much Brian, you were amazing!!
Brian was the most incredible officiant we could have asked for. We received so many compliments on the ceremony! It was the perfect mixture of sentimental, funny and a hint of seriousness! Even my religious grandmother loved it 😊
Brian was absolutely amazing to work with! He took the time to really get to know us, and made our ceremony so special. Our guests could not get enough of our ceremony. He far exceeded our expectations. It was truly perfect. I would recommend Brian to any family or friend that is getting married!
Brian was one of the highlights of our wedding! He incorporated every single emotion imaginable into our ceremony and wrote a truly beautiful script - filled with emotion, lots of humor, and completely tailored to my husband and I. He captured our personalities perfectly and our guests raved about him after the ceremony. Working with Brian was a breath of fresh air in all of the wedding prep craziness. We are so grateful to have worked with him!
Hiring Brian as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Every one of my guests was raving about how great our ceremony was. Brian made everything so easy. He sent us questions so that our ceremony was extremely personal to us. He made the entire planning process easy. I could not be happier with our ceremony. Brian made it simply perfect. I would 100% recommend Brian to anyone.
Brian was terrific! We asked him to make the ceremony light and fun and he nailed it. Everyone in attendance made a point to tell us how great they thought Brian was and how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Brian made the whole process easy. We are so happy Brian officiated our wedding and we highly recommend him.
I found Brian as a recommendation through one of the wedding websites, and from the first conversation we had I was confident he would be able to tell our story and give us an amazing ceremony. He had us answer some questions about our story and each other. He did such an amazing job of putting together everything we said about each other and the feelings and thoughts we wanted to share with each other. We had so many guests come up to us and tell us how much they loved him and the ceremony. He captured us so well, and people could not believe he was someone we never met before. Our ceremony was the perfect amount of funny and sentimental. I can not recommend Brian enough! He was awesome throughout the whole process and so easy to work with! Our ceremony was perfect and exactly how we dreamed it would be and that was all because of Brian!
Brian was amazing. He led us through the entire process. We are talking full step by step guides on how to receive your marriage license, questionnaires to get to know you better, and responsive to any question or tweaking you want done to the ceremony. He made the whole process so easy. As for the ceremony, he knocked it out of the park. He is clear and conducts the ceremony well. He really understood our relationship and made the ceremony more special. We had an amazing day because of The Rev. Book him now, don't wait!
Picking an officiant was such a hard choice! My partner and I had no idea where to look - or what we were even looking for. Thankfully we somehow stumbled upon Brian! From our first video chat with him, we knew we were in good hands! He totally understood our vibe and was able to create a ceremony that felt so much like us. The personalized script he wrote for us was sweet, goofy, and genuine. We had so many compliments afterwards about the ceremony. Brian was a great speaker, he was able to read the crowd, and like a true professional he knew to jump out of the way for the first kiss so he wasn't in the background of photos! Highly recommend!
Brian the Rev was such a star on our wedding day! He was receptive to what we were looking for in a ceremony, and he really told our story. Everyone said they laughed, they cried, and that it really captured us as a couple! He listened to everything and made it so special. He also came to the rehearsal the day prior which helped to get a sense of what was going to happen the actual day. Such a great guy, and such an awesome officiant! Thank you Brian!
Three weeks ago we had the honor to have Brian The Rev marry us. Three weeks later, we are still getting compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was. Most of our guests have asked us “whose side of the family is he on?”. Brian created such a personal ceremony that truly made it seem that he has known both Michael and I our entire lives. He added just enough sap to match our sense of humor. The most amazing part was how he was able make it seem as if it was only you and your partner in that chapel completely eliminating any nerves. I can not express our gratitude and will recommend Brian to everyone, he is truly one of a kind.
Brian was personable and professional, you would of thought he was part of the family! His attention to detail made our ceremony that much more special. If you are thinking about booking him for your wedding I highly recommend doing so. I can’t thank him enough for everything he did before during and after our wedding. He is the best of the best and will go out of his way to make sure your ceremony is perfect.
