About this vendor
I don’t just perform ceremonies, I create experiences that people can't stop talking about. It's about marrying two soulmates while igniting the energy that makes the two of you special. I bring connection, flow, flawless professionalism, and a spark that keeps every guest tuned in and engaged. You're going to laugh, you're going to cry, and most of all, you're going to have the time of your lives.
We will work together to design a ceremony script that truly represents what makes the two of you so special. I love when your family and friends feel like we've known each other for years. It's all about capturing the energy the two of you share; I always take the time to understand your story and deliver it with heart, my clever sense of humor, and undeniable authenticity.
With years of public speaking and event hosting behind me, I know how to make every spoken note land perfectly. Together we'll make your wedding day one your friends and family just can stop talking about for years to come. Because when the laughter, the love, and the meaning all come together, you don’t just have a great ceremony, you have a memory that lives on long after the day is done.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brian. He played such a huge role in making our day so special, and our ceremony was absolutely perfect because of him.
From the very b...
eginning, he was professional, organized, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He made everything feel easy and stress-free, always taking the time to answer our questions and guide us along the way.
What truly set him apart was the way he told our story. He captured our relationship so beautifully and authentically that many of our guests genuinely thought he was a close family friend. He made the ceremony feel personal, meaningful, and uniquely ours, which is exactly what we hoped for.
We received countless compliments from our family and friends about how heartfelt and engaging the ceremony was. We are so grateful for the care, attention, and professionalism he brought to our wedding day. If you're looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony unforgettable, we highly recommend him!
Brian was our officiant for our wedding in May 2026, and from the very beginning, we knew we had made the right choice. We found him online through his incredible reviews and accol...
ades on The Knot, and he exceeded every expectation we had.
Brian has such a warm, gregarious personality, an incredible attention to detail, and guided us through every step of the process with ease —he gave step my step advice on applying for our marriage license, showing us common processional and recessional options, to personally filing our marriage license for us afterward. During the ceremony, my husband even found himself quietly asking him questions in real time like, “Can I say something here?” or “Do people normally clap during this part?” and he handled every moment so naturally and kindly without making him feel awkward for a second.
What truly stood out was how perfectly he captured our love story and who we are as a couple. He spoke so seamlessly and personally that our guests genuinely thought he had known us for years. He told our story with such authenticity, humor, warmth, and emotion that it felt like we were listening to a lifelong friend speak about us rather than someone we had hired professionally.
After the ceremony, so many people came up to us asking, “That officiant is a friend of yours, right?” — which is honestly the biggest testament to how personal, thoughtful, and beautifully executed his ceremony was.
Brian is funny, professional, calming, and incredibly talented at what he does. Meeting him was one of those rare moments where you encounter someone who has truly found their calling and passion in life.
We truly could not have imagined a better officiant for our wedding day. Thank you, Brian, for making our ceremony so unforgettable.
Brian was our officiant for our March 2026 wedding and he was amazing! He wrote a perfect, personalized ceremony of us that captured our story perfectly. He also helped us with eve...
ry step of the process, sharing instructions for applying for the marriage license and how to pick up copies after the wedding. When he came the day of, he was prepared and so friendly!! He said hello to every friend and family member in the room, explained parts of the process to those who asked, and was so calm and comforting. Multiple guests thought that Brian was one of our family members because of how well we captured our story and our ability to make a strong connection with him. Hire Brian for your wedding because he is the best at what he does!!
Brian was our officiant for our October 2025 wedding, and he was such a key part of making our day special and unique to us. Brian spent the time to get to know us, so much so we h...
ad to rewrite some our own vows! Brian spoke clearly and passionately during our ceremony, and I received so many like comments immediately after. He became an extension and presentation of our love, and I cannot recommend him enough!
We used Brian as our officiant for our recent wedding and he could not have been more amazing!! We had spoken to a few officiants prior to finding Brian and nothing felt right. Fro...
m our very first conversation with Brian, we knew he was the one we wanted to perform our ceremony. His kindness, professionalism, and humor are the best of the best. He created a ceremony that felt very personal to us and even had our family and friends asking how we knew him as they assumed he was someone who knew us very well. He also had everyone (even including my husband) in tears. We could not recommend Brian more to anyone looking for officiant for a fun, personal and perfect ceremony!
Brian was the only officiant we met with and we booked him immediately because of how high energy he was. We knew he would bring that level of enthusiasm to our big day, and that’s...
exactly what we were looking for! He so beautifully and eloquently told our love story, you would’ve thought he’s known us since the day we first started talking. He listened to the few details we wanted reworded and beautifully executed it. His energy was electric and we have received so many positive reviews from friends and family about the ceremony he performed.
Brian performed at our intimate 13 person ceremony. He was recommended to us by friends who’ve seen him in action and said “best they’ve seen”. Contacting him was fast and responsi...
ve and we step up a quick phone appointment to go over the plan and how he creates a custom and heartfelt script tailored to you and your partner. This approach is a great alternative to couples who may be apprehensive on performing personal vows in front of a crowd, since Brian clearly and beautifully articulates these thoughts in his performance (my 95 year old grandma and spouse’s grandparents who are in their 80’s could easily understand everything, no microphone needed). He is the narrator of your love story, and weaves the nuances of what makes you and your partner special and unique. Even reading the draft I teared up, and still did at my wedding. We are so happy to have chose Brian for our day. Even with the legal end the clerks office said she recognized our officiant’s name and we are in good hands (another thing to not worry about!) and Brian handled paperwork swiftly so we could enjoy our day! PS You can tell Brian has been a pro at this, he made sure he was out of frame for the big kiss, without us even saying anything.
I was first introduced to Brian when I was a bridesmaid in another wedding that he had been the officiant of. He stood out to me as being so engaging and made the ceremony extremel...
y personal. The way he tells a couple’s story allows you to get a glimpse into what makes them so special that you might not otherwise know. He made me laugh, he made me cry. After their ceremony, I immediately knew that he would be a perfect fit for us as well. He was amazing to work with and is very knowledgeable and helpful. He did an amazing job at capturing the audience and telling our story. I am so happy we went with Brian and felt that he gave our story of going from meeting on a cruise to getting married the justice it deserved. Thank you Brian, we will cherish your words forever!
Brian was an incredible officiant for our wedding. He was so helpful, easy to work with, and truly brought our vision to life day-of. We wanted a personal and touching, yet light-h...
earted ceremony, and my videographer immediately recommended Brian for the job. Thank goodness because Brian made the entire experience so seamless and fun - we just needed to answer his thoughtful questions over email and like magic, he wrote the perfect script for us. A handful of our guests praised how beautiful, engaging, and sweet the words Brian shared during our ceremony were. Not to mention, he also helped us do everything for our marriage license - phew! Book Brian for the best, knowledgeable, supportive, accommodating officiant!
Brian the Rev was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the start, he made the process so thoughtful and personal. He gave both my husband and I a detailed questionnaire to compl...
ete, which he used to craft a ceremony that truly reflected us. The way he told our love story struck the perfect balance of heartfelt emotion and lighthearted laughter—it matched our personalities so well. He also went took the time to review our personal vows and offering helpful feedback so everything would flow beautifully during the ceremony.
Our guests kept telling us how special the ceremony felt, like they were witnessing something deeply personal and meaningful. It really set the tone for the rest of the day—one full of love and laughter. Thank you, Brian, for making our ceremony unforgettable!
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!

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!

m 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 th...
e 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!

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 hear...
tfelt 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 in...
corporating 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!

d 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 beli...
eve 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!!

ng 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 wan...
ted 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 religiou...
s 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 th...
ought 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 t...
o 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 h...
ow 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 communicat...
ion 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. Br...
ian 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.

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!

ng. 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 famil...
y 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!!
