The Colonel is hands down the best decision we ever made in choosing an officiant to renew our wedding vows. My wife and I renew our vows every year and why not make it unique especially in the state of Kentucky. William is so thoughtful, nice, and considerate on trying to make our special day perfect he would go the extra mile. On the day of the vow renewal, it was a chilly 40 degrees and William made the ceremony so special that we forgot about the cold. Even after the ceremony, we chatted for a really long time because William is just a kind hearted person. If you need to choose an officiant please choose William "Colonel”

Our wedding was perfect, Williams made our ceremony go very smoothly. He did exactly everything like we wanted. If we were to redo it all over again we would choose William again! He was professional, kind hearted.
