Colorado Weddings by Keith Horstman

We would highly recommend hiring Keith as your wedding officiant! He is so thorough and detailed in his planning, and he really personalizes your ceremony. Our ceremony got rave reviews from family members! We heard “that was the best ceremony I have ever attended”, “that ceremony could have been a Hallmark movie”, and “I loved hearing more of your story”! Keith had each of us fill out a questionnaire, then he used our responses to craft the ceremony. He sent the ceremony to us- including all of the logistics of the ceremony- and asked for feedback on it, so that we could make sure that it represented us as a couple and was what we wanted it to be. He was thorough, quick to respond to us, helpful, and very punctual and professional. We could not have asked for anything more!

Keith was fabulous. We both took our time to fill out the questionnaire he sent us, and boy did he deliver, with information directly from our stories, he gave us exactly what we wanted, and allowed us to have fun and be ourselves. This was NOT a cookie cutter ceremony and I appreciated that so much since so many weddings have the same format and jokes. Of all our vendors Keith got the most rave reviews. We had 1/2 very conservative Christian, 1/2 non-conservative others and every person enjoyed the ceremony, with multiple older couples saying they wished they could get married again-just so Keith could be their officiant. We were so pleased with Keith!

If I could rate Keith more then 5 stars I would! He wrote the most amazing ceremony for us, one that we are still getting texts and compliments about 2 weeks later. He took the time to get to know us through a questionnaire and turned it into the most magical ceremony. His demeaner and presence made it seem like he knew us forever and truly captured our love. Thank you Keith!!

Wow-we could not have asked for a better officiant. We only had one phone call with Keith prior to booking him-and liked him right away!! You can tell he does this all the time and just made everything so smooth. We were a covid reschedule and he made that seamless as well. He was always so quick to reply to emails (almost instant sometimes). All he did was send us a questionaire for both of us to fill out and send back to him. He had the script written up within a week and then we made one round of edits/suggestions and he fixed it right away and sent us the new script. On the day of, he showed up about 30 minutes early and went over the cues for the ceremony. He put our love story together in a beautiful way. Everyone at the wedding was complimenting it. They got to learn more about our relationship and loved it, and everyone laughed and cried too! I was telling one of my cousins how we had only emailed back and forth a few times with Keith, and only just met him about 30 min before the wedding! She was like, the way he talked about you I thought you'd been having Sunday dinners with him for a year!! He was that good! I could not recommend him enough! The whole process could not have been easier and could not have turned out any better!!

Keith was great! He really listened to us and took in our story, building a ceremony that was personal and non-traditional which is exactly what we wanted. Through his ceremony my husband and I were able to share our relationship with our guests. It was definitely a ceremony we did not know we wanted until we saw it and heard it. So glad we went with Keith for our day!

Keith gave us the most special ceremony. It was beautifully written and so well done that I had several guests comment about how wonderful he was. He was truly dedicated to giving us a ceremony that was uniquely ours.

Keith was wonderful to work with and a joy to have leading our Ceremony. We were worried about hiring someone we did not know personally to Officiate our wedding, but Keith's methods and personality really make you feel like he knows you as a couple. Our Ceremony was both beautiful, light hearted, and totally customized to my husband and I story. I would definitely recommend Keith to any couple looking for a Celebrant!

Keith was absolutely amazing! He came on time, was dressed professionally, and was prepared for our ceremony and all of our questions. Prior to our wedding, he was available anytime we had questions or wanted to make modifications to our ceremony. The ceremony was fantastic! It perfectly captured our story and had a great balance between funny and sweet. After the ceremony. we had guests coming up to us all throughout the night telling us they loved the style of the ceremony and how it told a story as opposed to being your typical generic wedding ceremony. Many of the guests commented that the way Keith structures and delivers the ceremony is how all wedding ceremonies should be. We would definitely recommend Keith to anyone!

Keith was our favorite vendor of the entire wedding. Our ceremony was beautiful and personal, and we've had so many of our guests tell us it was the best wedding ceremony they've ever been to. Keith worked with us to create a ceremony that was about us and allowed us to celebrate our friends and family in a unique way. He suggested ways to incorporate our parents, wedding party and friends, and then he tied the whole thing together seamlessly. From the first time we met him, he was easy to talk to and we knew right away it was a fit. He was extremely patient with us throughout the whole process and made sure we knew exactly how the ceremony would go. A lot of people thought we were nuts for not having a rehearsal, but the ceremony went perfectly with Keith's direction and leadership. We had thought finding a celebrant would be easy, but once we started talking to people, we realized that we really wanted someone who we could trust to tell our story with both sincerity and humor. That can be very hard to do with someone you just met. Keith recognizes that every couple's story is unique and he's able to transmit that in the ceremony. So many weddings are focused solely on the reception, but the ceremony is really the most important and most emotional hour of the day, when you get to say I do to your best friend in front of all the people in your worlds that you love together. We're so lucky that Keith helped us make that moment unforgettable. Thank you Keith!

We were looking for an officiant that would encapsulate our worldviews and love for one another in a special, unique ceremony. Being new to the area, we looked online and found Keith. He's a kind, open-minded officiant that listens well. He knows how to capture those sweet memories and weave them together into a beautiful story. He's also down-to-earth, so he keeps the administrative details practical. Keith cares about marriage and shows it brilliantly with his craft. We would highly recommend Keith to anyone wanting a customized ceremony, and if we ever renew vows we'll be looking for his services again!

Keith was phenomenal!!! My husband and I got married in January and everyone still tells us how incredible Keith was. He made our ceremony so unique to who we are as a couple. He was outstanding and such a natural. His communication leading up to the wedding was great and we went into the wedding feel so prepared. He gave us great tips that helped us envision what would be the perfect ceremony for us. I can’t recommend Keith enough! If you want a professional who will wow your guests, then hire Keith.

Keith was very professional and easy to work with. I received so many compliments on how he did the ceremony; he really thinks about the presentation and making your guests feel involved. It also felt as if Keith had known us for years, even though it was the first time we had met in person. He did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a celebrant for marriage.

Keith is outstanding! We really struggled with finding an officiant for our wedding as neither of us have strong church connections and we didn’t have any friends we felt would be a good fit. We researched and interviewed a lot of officiants and choosing Keith was a no-brainer. He is very professional and attentive, and really listened to what we wanted for our wedding ceremony. His homework questions were a great way to reflect on our relationship and made for a great date night when we sat down and read our answers to each other. Our ceremony was so personal to us and it felt like Keith had known us for years. Hire the guy, you won’t be disappointed!

We can’t say enough great things about Keith! We had about 80 guests and he made the ceremony very intimate. He made every guest feel welcome. We were told by many guests that it was the best ceremony they had ever been too. One guest even told us how they loved that Keith told our story and made the ceremony extremely personal and they wished they had a ceremony like that at their wedding. My husband and I did not meet with Keith prior to our wedding, but it truly did not matter as he still created that intimate environment. He also sent over an extensive packet for us to review everything about the ceremony, which was awesome. We highly recommend having Keith as your officiant! Oh, and he even mailed our marriage license for us!

Keith was absolutely amazing! It’s been almost two months since our wedding and we are still getting compliments about Keith. He really made our ceremony unique and very special. One guest wrote, “It was an amazing ceremony. The officiant gave a personal but powerful and meaningful message.” I am so happy that he was our officiant. I cannot say enough nice things about Keith. He has a true gift.

Keith made our ceremony so intimate and meaningful, even with 120 guests. He walked us through the whole process and created a personalized ceremony based on our story, feelings, and thoughts. He is a joy to work with! We received so many compliments from our friends and family about how meaningful our ceremony was. I love that Keith listened to what we wanted and helped us create it.

Keith is amazing!!! Every single one of the 120+ guests at my wedding came up to me and told me how special our ceremony was. He is very professional but more importantly he is so very good at what he does. We didn't meet in person until my wedding day but everyone thought we had known Keith for years. He told our love story to all of our guests like he was a part of it from the beginning - which is exactly what we wanted. You just can't get that feeling from anyone! Could go on and on about how great he was and how much we appreciate how special and memorable he made our day. He lets you give all the input you want with still guiding you to what he knows will work and what wont! He's done something like 600+ ceremonies so we definitely relied on his guidance and it was absolutely perfect. Book him now!

If you want a highly personalized and memorable ceremony, Keith is your guy! Once we hired him, he gave us "homework" to do: about 25 in-depth questions about me, my fiancé, family, and our relationship. It took us awhile to complete it, but it was definitely worth it. From those questions, he sent us multiple drafts of our ceremony until we were happy. Moments before the ceremony, we were both a little nervous (me especially) and Keith talked with us extremely calm, going over everything one last time, helping those famous jitters. After the ceremony, almost every single guest came up to us and told us it was the best ceremony they had ever been to, because it was so personalized. When I ask people what their favorite part of our day was, they all say the ceremony. Thank you so much, Keith, for creating an unforgettable ceremony for Scott and me! We are truly grateful for you.

He was fantastic! He structures the ceremony so that the guests get a deeper look at the couple while celebrating this day of love and union. You will not regret working with him. Thank you Keith!

One of the primary reasons we chose Keith is we wanted to do pre-marital counseling with the same person who would officiate - I'm glad we did the pre-marital counseling and I'm very glad we hired Keith for both! We had three meaningful meetings with him where he was able to guide us through some conversations we hadn't had previously. Our conversations were constructive and I always appreciated his point of view and his anecdotes. He had the chance to get to know us through those three sessions as well as a few questionnaires we filled out for him. Keith designed a simple ceremony which reflected our unique story, was short and sweet, and was fun to listen to. He was as flexible as we wanted - he has no agenda coming into this except to help you celebrate getting married! The ceremony was refreshing and popular with our guests, but more importantly was exactly what we wished for. He was easy to contact, highly responsive, and showed up right on time on the day of! What more could we have asked for? Thank you Keith for your attentiveness and for helping us to learn about ourselves and about each other!

Hands down the thing I have received the most compliments on from our wedding was our ceremony as officiated by Keith. We used Keith's services to write a custom ceremony for us, by us. The questionnaire was extensive and really made me feel the joyous and in-love emotions that sometimes get lost in the wedding planning to-do's. After we sent back the questionnaire we received a first draft of the ceremony and after a couple additional changes, we were set. I was so excited about the content in our ceremony but what really blew me away was how it was presented by Keith. His inflections and pauses are intentional and really bring your story full circle. If you're bringing friends and family together from near and far who may not know your significant other yet, or your story, it is such a treat to be able to share that with them on your day of. Keith helped us do that and it resonated with EVERY guest. He also asks couples to stand in a non-traditional way which kept everyone engaged and made it much less awkward (than I imagine it to be at least) and allowed me a few moments to take some mental pictures of our guests. We will treasure Keith's ceremony forever. Thank you Keith for being a part of our special day!!!

My fiance and I chose Keith for a number of different reasons, but the primary one was that we wanted the person who officiated our ceremony to be the one who also did our pre-marital counseling. We met with Keith, and he explained that he calls pre-marital counseling, "marriage education," and after having gone through it, I would agree with that! In just three sessions, we feel like Keith took the time to get to know us, and has a fantastic background to be able to write our ceremony. He starts by having you take a couple of assessments, which you and your fiance take separately, then uses those as the basis for the conversations during the marriage education sessions. What we found was that our conversations with Keith during the sessions were so rich because we didn't have to deal with telling the "back story" or identifying our own issues - the two assessments that we took did that for us. We were then able to get to the heart of the matter with him present, guiding us to have conversations that we wouldn't otherwise have gone as deep into on our own. His entirely neutral guidance allowed us to open up our lines of communication with each other without creating any sort of conflict. My fiance and I ended up having much more revealing, much deeper conversations because of the conversations that we started with Keith, and I know that we are a stronger couple for it. The key, though, is that our conversations were never an argument, because Keith helped us develop deeper compassion for each other through having us take the personality assessments, then explained to us how those revealed our motivation for life, where we get our energy/satisfaction from, and how those results should help us better understand each other as human beings. After having done marriage education with Keith, I can promise that not only was it extremely helpful to our relationship, he has an even better idea of how to personalize our ceremony, showing our guests the different facets of our personalities, and how that contributes to how much we love each other. If you are on the fence about doing marriage education with him - do it. Through the insights that he shared with us, we have a much stronger basis for our marriage.

My husband and I wanted a ceremony that was intimate, personal, yet have somewhat "traditional". Keith wrote our ceremony in a way that our guests got a small insight into our life together and showed our love for each other. Our ceremony had humor, true emotion, and was intimate. We had compliments from most of our guests on ceremony and how personal it was. I've been to a lot of wedding and I don't think I've ever gone out of my way to say how much I enjoyed the actual ceremony; so the fact so many of our guests complimented this speaks volumes. Keith is professional, a great public speaker, and delivers a message of love during his ceremonies. He was recommended to us by our wedding planner. If you are looking to have a ceremony written around you and your significant other, be personal and intimate then Keith Horstman is exactly the person to deliver that.

We were a bit lost about who would perform our ceremony- coming from different religious backgrounds and not interested in either for our ceremony. Our planner recommended Keith, after reading his reviews compared to a few other options we thought he seemed like the best option. I questioned if we should save on our budget with the officiant, and I'm so glad we didn't go the free or super cheap route. He lived up to his amazing reviews and was well worth the $! We loved our ceremony and so many guests told us how amazing the ceremony was, saying it was the best they have ever seen, lovely, meaningful, special, perfect, just a few of the words our friends and families used. Keith really knows what he is doing! The only negative we have- was because we were getting married in peak wedding season, we didn't get to see our draft ceremony till a few weeks before the wedding since he was so busy. But it was so great and we only had some minor edits we wanted and had it all finalized only a few days later.

When my daughter and I started planning her wedding we knew we wanted an officiant that could explain their love story. Keith did exactly that, he was absolutely amazing!! He spent lots of time working with my daughter and son in law to make sure he really understood their whole story and did a wonderful job retelling it at the wedding. The whole night we had several people come up to us and say what a great job Keith had done. If you are looking for a unique ceremony, something that all your guests will remember, you need to hire Keith. You won't be disappointed!!!

I cannot say enough good things about the ceremony that Keith wrote for my husband and me. It was beautiful, personal, and was delivered incredibly well. He really took the time to get to know us through the questions we answered and our ceremony reflected that. Even the way Keith had us stand (facing slightly outward as opposed to staring at each other the entire time) incorporated our guests into the ceremony in a way that means so much to me now. We got so many compliments from our guests about the ceremony! It was my favorite part of the day and if I had to do it over again one of the first calls I would make would be to Keith.

Keith did a fantastic job!! We absolutely loved our personalized ceremony. It felt unique, customized and very special to us. Many of our guest thought Keith had known us for years - we received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback/praise from all of our guests "best ceremony they'd ever seen". Keith had great suggestions and insight when writing our ceremony and we feel very grateful to have had him apart of our wedding day. We'd highly recommend Keith Horstman!!

Keith was wonderful. The ceremony was beautiful and personalized. Every person in attendance was impressed by his work.

I cant say enough great things about Keith! He did such an incredible job with our wedding ceremony. Our guests loved how unique and personalized it was. They thought he had known us for years! He really is the best!

When we picked Keith to do our ceremony we both felt like we didn't really care a lot about the specifics - we just wanted a nonreligious officiant who wouldn't drag things out too long. We did very little planning, frankly, and just wanted to get someone booked. In retrospect, this could've been a disaster, and we were really, really lucky to find Keith and be able to book him for our wedding. He was *fantastic*. Dozens of our guests told us how wonderful the ceremony was, and he turned that portion of the wedding from an afterthought to one of the highlights. Keith is wonderful, a pleasure to work with, and very, very good at what he does. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Keith was FANTASTIC!! Our ceremony was so much better than we could have imagined. During the reception we received so many compliments from our guests. Several people made it a point to tell us that they laughed, cried, and felt they learned more about us as a couple. Keith has a calming energy that will put you at ease on your wedding day. I cannot say emphasize enough how easy and stress-free it was to work with him. If you are looking for someone who will make your ceremony unforgettable- hire Keith!

Keith is wonderful to work with. He is so calming on the day of and really puts the client at ease when he attends the rehearsal. His ceremonies are so meaningful and thoughtful. He makes it seem as if he has known the client for years with how personal his ceremonies are when actuality, he has only met the client a few times. I would highly recommend Keith!

Best choice of our wedding was choosing Keith as our officiant. He completely customized a ceremony perfect for us. He had our friends and family laughing and crying. So many of our guests could stop saying how great the ceremony was and how they felt like they got to know us and our relationship so much better. He was good communicating with us and made us feel prepared on our big day. Keith is worth the extra money and I would highly recommend him. He made our ceremony AMAZING!

Trying to find an officiant for your wedding is extremely stressful. How do you know whether or not a person will be the right fit?! Keith was recommended to us by another officiant who happened to be booked already for the day of our wedding, and I am so glad he was! All the reviews you will read about Keith say that their guests couldn't stop raving about how great the ceremony was. This is no exaggeration!!! Almost every single person I spoke with following my ceremony said how much they enjoyed it and this is not usually the case. Keith makes the ceremony so personal and specific to the couple. He adds in as much humor, religion, etc as the couple requests. I am so grateful we found Keith and recommend him to everyone!

Keith was so amazing throughout the entire process of working as our officiant. He started the process out by having both my husband and I complete an extensive questionnaire to really get to know both of us and our love story. The actual ceremony was disrupted by a bit of rain but both my husband and I loved that we had to move to a more intimate space to complete the ceremony. All of our guests thought it was one of the most personalized and best ceremonies they had ever been to. It made the entire wedding that much more memorable, and we will forever be able to reflect on our beautiful vows and traditions that took place. Thank you Keith for giving us such an unforgettable ceremony!

Your search is over! If you want a truly unique ceremony please choose Keith. He officiated our wedding on 3/26/16 and we couldn't be happier! He made the ceremony fun, kept the guests engaged and really made it OURS. Very unique, very US. He will make something specifically catered to you and you can make as many revisions to the ceremony as you like so you know exactly what will be said on the day of your wedding. We wanted a non traditional, non religious ceremony and he gave us just that, while making us and the guests laugh! Please choose Keith, you won't be disappointed! Many of our guests approached us after the ceremony and told us how much they enjoyed this unique celebration. I highly recommend Keith.

Keith did a great job of engaging the audience. He made the couple the entire focus of the ceremony and was extremely well spoken.

Despite the weather (blizzard!), everything turned out perfectly and better than we could have imagined!! The guests absolutely LOVED the ceremony Keith wrote, and we heard all night how amazing, unique, and specialized it was. Several people asked how long we had known Keith (assuming we were old friends), and I think that is indicative of how good he is at what he does. Keith made the process very easy and provided phenomenal feedback and suggestions about the ceremony. Not only did Keith make Sean and I feel like the most important bride and groom, he touched our guests with our story and provided them with humor and originality that surpassed our best expectations. Thank you, Keith :)

Keith was great to work with from our first Skype call I knew he would make our ceremony memorable and out side the box. This was exactly what he did! We have received so many compliments on the way our ceremony was officiated, there were so many memorable parts for all of our guests! Thank you Keith for making out ceremony extraordinary for us and all our guests!

I can't say enough about how great this whole experience was with Keith! We planned our wedding out of state and Keith made it easy to work with. We flew into Colorado and met for coffee and he really listened to what we were after as far as a Ceremony goes, even though we didn't really know ourselves. We worked via email and he put several drafts together for us to review and we were able to revise and make changes to the material. After the ceremony, our guests couldn't stop talking about how great and personal our ceremony was and how did we ever find him! Some people said they cried when they've never cried before! Our guests laughed and applauded and cried and were really able to be part of our moment. Our friends and family still talk about Keith and how it was a standout ceremony, one to remember! One thing our guests pointed out that really made it more memorable was that Keith stood next to us and off to the side and spoke directly to our guests and had us face our guests too so everyone was included- no back of the dress viewing here! That really made people feel important. I have been recommending Keith to everyone I know who may want to get married in Colorado! Just absolutely fantastic!!!!

Keith was amazing. He really got to know myself and my husband before the ceremony so he could make it very personal. He also has a great way of standing during the ceremony so that photographers can get shots of just my husband and myself. It also made it easy for us to engage with our guests and meet their glances. My photographer asked for his information after our ceremony to give to her future brides! Our guests said our ceremony was so beautiful and personal and that is a direct reflection of Keith! Thank you!!

Everyone at our wedding said our ceremony was one of the best they had ever witnessed. One guest even told me that she had never though she would want to get married but after seeing our ceremony, she had changed her mind! We live out of state but Keith was still able to get to know us through his questionnaires and our Skype and phone conversations. Our ceremony was completely customized and so true to us. He was even open to our requests for minor changes after he sent us the first draft. He was on time and professional and made the most important part of our day so meaningful! We're so happy we entrusted Keith with our ceremony!

The ceremony Keith wrote for our ceremony exceeded our expectations! He did exactly what he promised and what we wanted which was to create an engaging, personalized ceremony that tells our story and includes some humor. We received so many compliments from our guests about how unique our ceremony was and how they appreciated learning about the two of us and our relationship. The out of town guests that didn't know us very well felt like they knew us afterwards, and for those guests that are in our close circles they appreciated the shout outs and little jokes/stories. The homework Keith assigns is definitely worth it! The ceremony will be a keepsake that we will continue to revisit. I highly recommend Keith.

Our ceremony was quite honestly the highlight of our wedding day (and it was all spectacular!). Keith did an absolutely amazing job of crafting our answers to his thoughtful questions into a ceremony that told our story and reflected on our reasons and goals for marriage. My husband and I and our guests laughed and cried throughout the entire ceremony. It was a very special way to start our married life together. We received countless comments from family and friends praising Keith and the ceremony he put together. Keith was professional throughout the entire process and very flexible with regards to vows and inclusion of "guests of honor" in the ceremony, as well as the organization of the ceremony events. He provided several examples of vows for us to choose from and tweak to make our own, as well as a huge selection of readings for us to pick from, which made the process much easier on us. Once drafted, we had the chance to review and make changes (though it didn't need any) to the ceremony script. Keith also sent us a copy of the final script for posterity. In short, we HIGHLY recommend Keith. His price is fair for the amount of work and thought that he puts into each ceremony; I doubt if anyone in Colorado creates more special ceremonies.

My now husband and I booked Keith for our September wedding this year. We weren't sure what we were suppose to look for in a celebrant but we knew we wanted a special ceremony that captured our unique story. Keith was easy to talk to and had SO many amazing ideas to help guide us along the way. We were sent a very detailed list of questions to answer about our relationship and our story. It seemed excessive at first BUT I am 100% happy that we both put so much time into the questions. When we recieved our first draft of the ceremony a few weeks before the wedding, it was clear and well put together (no surprises). We made a few minor changes but other than that we trusted Keith with the bulk of the ceremony. The day of the wedding, Keith was on time and ready to go. He was calming and kind (and very patient with our boisterous bridal party) which makes a HUGE difference when you are nervous about being in front of so many people. I don't even know where to start with the ceremony itself. On paper it looked great BUT this does not even begin to describe how special it was. We had family friends who didn't even know our story but were in tears. Every person we talked to that night would come up saying "Congratulations - that ceremony was the best we have ever attended". Family from out of town that we had only met together a few times were saying that by the end of the story they felt that they knew our entire story from start to present. Seriously, everyone single person we talked to said the entire day was beautiful but the ceremony was what made it so amazing (which is not the norm). We couldn't of been happier with Colorado Weddings by Keith Horstman. I recommend him to anyone who wants a ceremony that is 100% personalized to their story. Thank you so much Keith!

Keith was AMAZING, and exactly what we were looking for. We didn't want a religious ceremony, but we wanted something more unique than a 3 minute "do you? do you? ta da!" - Keith fit the bill perfectly. We met with him for coffee and he was very professional. To craft our ceremony, he sent us a list of homework questions - our views on everything from how we met, to love and marriage, to what we wanted to share with our parents. Keith then took all those stories and anecdotes and wove them together into an incredibly personal ceremony that shared our story, reminded us why we wanted to get married, and had the entire audience laughing, crying, and laughing while crying. The vast majority of the vendors we used for our wedding we knew - personal friends in one way or another. It was amazing how many compliments we got on our ceremony though, and NO ONE believed that we had only met Keith once for coffee before hiring him. He did an INCREDIBLE job, and I can't thank him enough. I was a little leery of spending more on the officiant, as I know there are some cheaper ones out there - but it was the best money we spent.

Keith officiated our wedding on July 11 at the Evergreen Lake House. To this day, I still have people telling me how unique and personal our ceremony was; unlike any other wedding they have been to. Lots of people learned things about us that they did not know before, which made our ceremony very special. I would highly recommend Keith if you are looking for a one of a kind ceremony. My husband and I are VERY happy. Thanks Keith!

WOW! Keith made our ceremony so personal. He chat and listens to your vision, asks lots of questions to get to know both individuals, and executes a beautiful ceremony. All throughout the night both my husband and I had almost every guest express to us how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Thank you so much Keith!

Keith was incredible! When we hired him as our officiant he sent us these questions to answer individually so he could customize a ceremony to us. As a result, our ceremony was SO individual to us and it truly felt like it was for us and not just a formality before a big party. I so appreciate the time and effort Keith put into crafting the perfect ceremony for us. We have received so many compliments. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone who asks.

Keith was absolutely amazing. He stayed in touch throughout our entire planning process and always made himself available if we had questions. He provided us with a personalized ceremony draft prior to the wedding that blew us away! He was more than willing to make any adjustments that we wanted included or removed from his initial draft. We chose to have him at our rehearsal which made us feel at ease and less stressed. He also made sure to visit with us separately before the actual ceremony which helped calm our nerves. Keith had our guests (and us) laughing and crying during the ceremony. It was so incredibly beautiful! We highly recommend him! No matter what religion you identify with, he makes it personalized and special for YOU.

Keith was hands down one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. He put together an absolutely beautiful service that was custom and unique to us. The number one comment we have had about our wedding was how intimate and unique our ceremony was. Prior to our big day Keith gave us rather extensive wedding homework that provided him with insight as to us as a couple. He then worked in our answers and feelings towards each other into our ceremony, making it all the more meaningful. He also was very punctual and guided our rehearsal the day prior with ease. We are so thankful to Keith for the service he provided and highly suggest him to anyone in need of an officiant/celebrant.

Keith was an absolute dream to work with! He was kind, understanding and an all around nice guy! All of our guests kept telling us how much of a beautiful ceremony it was! Even people who weren't too involved in our relationship felt as though they knew how we were with each other since the beginning! Keith is the best, he even read a passage in Spanish just so my mom could understand better! If you are in colorado, you HAVE to hire Keith! No one is better!

We had Keith as our officient and had a great experience. He took lots of time to get to know us and created a very personalized wedding ceremony. He was willing to work with us to create the ceremony that we were hoping for and went above and beyond! Everybody loved our ceremony and we couldn't have been happier with it.

I attending my friend's wedding done by Keith and it was like any I've ever seen. She still talks about how meaningful it was and how happy they were to be able to work with Keith. She and her husband's families loved it. Keith told their love story in a way that brought laughter and tears for all of us. They did a cool ribbon ceremony which allowed them to involve their close family members and friends in the ceremony. Absolutely the coolest wedding!

Keith did an excellent job with our ceremony. Even other vendors (who see wedding ceremonies all the time) were complimenting us on our awesome ceremony. He made it personal, touching, and fun. He was always just an e-mail away whenever we had questions. I highly recommend Keith as your wedding officiant!!!

Keith was an absolute professional officiant and we were so happy to have him officiate our wedding. He made us feel so comfortable with everything. We got married at The Four Season's Hotel and even though it was in the ballroom, he made it feel like we were in a religious location. Everyone of our guests could not stop talking about how personal the ceremony was and how they had never experienced anything quite personal like that before.It was so intimate and special that he had our family and guests laughing and crying. Keith was amazing and we highly recommend him for any ceremony - religious or non-religious. Thank you Keith!

We were so sincerely happy with the ceremony. It was everything we hoped for and more. We've been getting wonderful feedback from our guests about the wedding and Keith and the ceremony are definitely the highlight. They loved how personalized and unique it was to us and how we honored our families. I can’t stress enough how many people have complimented us for having one of the most romantic and meaningful ceremonies they've ever seen. There were some hiccups with the venue during the reception, (as most weddings go) so the fact that we had a perfect ceremony, (which is the whole reason why we were all there in the first place) feels like an even bigger and much needed win for us that night. Also – Small world, Keith officiated the wedding for one of my husband's coworkers, who attended our wedding with his wife. The coworker joked that he had tried to refer this great celebrant to my husband, but he told him that we already found a great one! Too funny.

Keith officiated our recent wedding and did an amazing job. I really enjoyed working with him! He wrote a beautiful ceremony, that really represented who we are. Just about everyone who attended said how great he was and that it was one of the most heartfelt ceremonies they've been too. Despite being a little expensive, I would highly recommend Keith!

Keith did a great job as our officiant. We enjoyed his homework and found answering all the questions really fun. He created a beautiful ceremony for us and was open to any edits and changes we had. He did a great job on the wedding day and we got many compliments that our ceremony was spectacular.

We could not be more thrilled that we chose Keith to officate our wedding! We wanted our wedding ceremony to be unique and reflect our personalities. Keith did an amazing job of capturing exactly what we wanted. He gave us "homework" where we each had to write about our relationship. You can share as much or little as you like, but the more info you share, the more personalized the ceremony. We were so impressed how well he interpreted what we wrote about each other and our relationship and translated it into a wonderful ceremony that was fun, unique and very special to us. We received a ton of compliments from our guests that it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to, and they were engaged the entire time. Keith was extremely nice and easy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone!

Keith was amazing! We enjoyed working with him throughout our wedding planning. He was so personal and professional and did such an amazing job officiating our ceremony. He gave us "homework" that we my husband and I had to fill out separately and then Keith completely personalized and customized our wedding ceremony to fit us. That is what we wanted and we found it in him. Everyone kept complimenting our ceremony and loved how personal it was. If you are looking for someone that will make your ceremony unique and not just like usual ceremonies, Keith is the man to have!

Hi Brides-To-Be, I chose Keith Horstman for my Wedding that was on 4/12/14. I contacted Keith in August of 2013 about potentially being the officiant. I knew exactly how I wanted my Ceremony to be, but I didn't know exactly how to go about it. My Family (and some of his) are Traditional Catholic/Christian. My husband and myself are not choosing to become a religious Family. I did not want my Ceremony in a church or religious by any means. Instead, I wanted a very personalized and memorable Ceremony, not one that people had to drag through and not remember. I wanted them to learn about us, our relationship and what marriage meant to us. We were also able to honor those in our Life who meant the most in front of our Guests, which was amazing! That is exactly what we go with Keith. His process for Creating a personalized Ceremony was completely worth every penny. He ran our rehearsal and his somewhat unconventional way of presenting the Ceremony, was something that was so unique. After our Ceremony, every Guest I talked to raved over our Ceremony. Even though it was not religious, even the most Traditional of Guests told me the Ceremony was so unique and wonderful. This was so great to hear, because the planning around our Ceremony was from our hearts and planned with them in mind. Most weddings I have attended, you don't hear or remember much of the Ceremony. Keith does all types of belief systems, so he will cater to any combination of beliefs and traditions. Keith is great at what he does and I would book him quick if you are thinking to add him to your list of vendors. He will take great care of you and always put your wants and needs first when creating your perfect Ceremony! Thank you again Keith!!!! Amanda M. Ortiz

Keith was such a professional. His delivery during our service was one of confidence and sincerity. I do not regret one aspect of how Keith performed. He provided a very special part of our wedding day that I will never forget.

Of all the facets of our wedding day, the ceremony was by far the most complimented by guests. Keith provided a unique ceremony that allowed our personalities to shine and guests to understand why we wanted to marry each other. He took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. The first time we read his first draft of our ceremony, we were speechless. I had to read it about 30 times so I wouldn't be a complete mess at the ceremony. All other wedding ceremonies from now on will probably look lame compared to "the Keith method."

I had no idea how much of a difference a great celebrant could make on a wedding. Keith was fantastic at putting together a customized ceremony and drawing in our friends and family. Both my parents were in tears and he was by far the most complimented aspect of the wedding. He is also great to work with, reliable, understanding and personable. Having Keith perform the ceremony was easily the best decision we made about our wedding.

Prior to meeting up with Keith, we had been denied being able to get married by the non-denominational church that we had been attending because we were living together. We were both very upset, so we were nervous to meet up with another officiant. Keith made us feel completely at ease; we didn't feel like we needed to be anyone but ourselves. Both my husband and I knew that he was the officiant for us after only speaking with him for a few minutes. Keith had each of us answer questions about our relationship, our future hopes and dreams, and even what we ate on our first date. He incorporated these questions into our ceremony, which allowed our guests to gain insight into our relationship. During the reception, we had guest after guest approach us saying "That was the best wedding ceremony I have ever been to." Even days after the wedding, we were still getting compliments about it. Thank you so much, Keith, for making our wedding ceremony so memorable! :)

Keith was absolutely incredible. I got exactly the ceremony I wanted. It was personal and romantic and flowed nicely. I wanted to keep everyone's attention and have a ceremony that everyone would enjoy and boy did I! He is truly wonderful at what he does. Thank you for everything Keith!

Keith has all these amazing wedding ceremony ideas that you wouldn't even think of or know about previously, and as bride and groom, you get all the credit. Some of our guests that are getting married soon actually asked us if we mind if they do a similar style of wedding with ideas Keith suggested, such as his recommended wine box ceremony. I believe every single guest of 120 at some point walked up to us and said, "that was the best and most personal wedding ceremony I have ever been to." He gave us some homework to go over that allows him to get a sense my wife and I's relationship and he took notes during our one meeting with him. During the ceremony, I felt like Keith knew me my whole life. He does such a wonderful job taking the words you have written and make it beautiful. Originally, we didn't know what we wanted out of the ceremony. He comes with ideas after meeting with you and turns your homework into a masterpiece. Not only are people crying because of the intimate moments he knows about your lives, but also laughing at the funny times you and your partner have had. He is able to entertain without being the focus of attention of the wedding, making him the best officiant. If I had to do it again, I would choose no one else.

I cannot say enough good things about Keith. When we decided we didn't want a catholic wedding, we were then stuck with trying to decide what kind of ceremony we DID want. We wanted something personal but did not want to have to do a ton of talking ourselves (i HATE public speaking). When we found Keith we knew he was the best! He is extremely experienced as an officiant and in our first meeting, wanted to know how to personalize and tailor it to our desires- and having us speak as much or as little as we wanted. Afterwards he sent us "homework" where we wrote about our relationship and family. Keith incorporated our stories into a beautiful 40 minute ceremony, as well as gave us the idea to have a wine box/ love letter ceremony which we will be able to enjoy for years to come! Keith was amazing - funny, heart-wrenching, and really kept all our guests involved and entertained in a ceremony that really expressed our love and hopes for our life together. We had so many guests tell us after it was their favorite ceremony and we may be a little biased but we agree!!

If you desire a truly unique, personalized ceremony than Keith is your perfect officiant! My husband and I are of different religious denominations so we chose to have a ceremony that focused on our relationship. Keith constructed a ceremony that shared wonderful stories and treasured moments from our lives together that helped our guests learn more about us as a couple. Numerous guests commented on how much they enjoyed our special ceremony. Keith has wonderful ideas and can help you make a ceremony that truly reflects your personality. I HIGHLY recommend this vendor!!

Keith helped us put together the most amazing and beautiful ceremony! And although I might be biased because I'm the bride, all our friends and family were so impressed with our ceremony, primarily because they had never seen anything like it. When we were looking for an officiant we weren't sure what we wanted or how much we wanted to spend. After meeting with Keith and discussing what our ceremony could be if we worked with him, we were really excited about our ceremony and felt the minimal extra cost above what we had originally considered would be worth it. It definitely was worth it. Keith took answers from our questionnaires and put together a beautiful, personalized, fun, sweet and just amazing ceremony. Through the ceremony we were able to share our relationship with our friends and family and help them see how we came to that moment. Also because of Keith's unique approach he stood next to us (or moved down the aisle in front of us depending on the moment) while we held hands and faced our guests, which was really fun, because we could see everyone and feel like they were actually there with us. It was just an amazing experience and I'm so happy with how it all turned out!

Keith did such a wonderful job pulling togehter our stories and weaving the most perfect wedding ceremony. Not only were we thrilled, but our families and friends are still commenting that is was the most memorable wedding service they had attended. I would recommend Keith to ALL!

I had the pleasure of having Keith be an officiant at our wedding. He was beyond amazing. We had chosen a very cold setting and he went out of his way to make sure my two little boys had something to keep them warm (even taking off his gloves to offer it to them). He made us feel at ease and kept the mood light and stress free. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone wanting a calm, romantic and truly special wedding.

Keith was beyond amazing. I think every guest at our wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever seen. He is detailed and speaks directly to the couple. He made every aspect just what we were looking for!! AMAZING!!

We chose Keith based on the reviews I read through and our brief meeting with him and it was a great decision. The ceremony was absolutely amazing! He works with you to personalize everything so everyone, even those that know you really well will leave learning something new about either you or your spouse. We had basically everyone tell us after the ceremony that it was the most beautiful and memorable they had ever attended. You do have to do work to get it to be so personal (a 30 question document is sent to you to be completed) but it is well worth it. Keith's delivery is spot on and he has an excellent presence in front of the crowd. He also has you standing facing the crowd so everyone is able to watch you the whole time, which is great. Highly recommend for those wanting to have a ceremony that is more than just repeat after me.

He is what made our cermony wonderful he had people laughing and crying he was just amazing

Keith made us feel so comfortable from the beginning of our wedding planning! He shared the same type of celebrant beliefs as we did and shared his ideas of how to make our ceremony personal and memorable. He asked us to answer a number of questions about our upbringing, relationship, and personal values before beginning the composition of our ceremony. When we received our first draft we were overjoyed and knew that we made the right decision hiring Keith as our celebrant for our wedding. He gathered all of the responses to our questions and built it into a story of our lives! It was amazing! We decided not to share the ceremony with any family or friends before the wedding as we wanted everyone to hear it on our wedding day! Our wedding day was beautiful and Keith helped to make it the best day of our lives! Our guests loved our ceremony stating that "It was the best ceremony they have ever been to!" We loved the personal stories and unique ceremonial rituals that Keith incorporated into our ceremony and could not have asked for anything more! Thanks for everything Keith! It was beautiful!

Keith took us by surprise and created the most memorable, fun, energetic, and romantic wedding ceremony. He highlighted our families, our personalities and true love for each other. The ceremony gave our guests an experience and journey through our relationship that eveyone loved and appreciated!

Keith performed the ceremony for my husband and I in July 2012. He did an outstanding job. Right from the beginning I liked Keith. Upon our first meeting I could tell that he was going to do a great job with the ceremony. He really works hard to create a ceremony that is unique and personalized. When Keith sent me the draft of our wedding a few weeks before, I alsmost cried reading it I was so touched. Having it performed in person at the wedding was more meaningful than I can describe. After my wedding ceremoney many of my guests told me it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to. That it was so moving, special and just all around enjoyable. If you want a ceremony that you will really remember and cherish forever, then Keith is the person for you!

Keith's ceremony was very personal, which is why we hired him. He is also very eloquent, and lots of guests commented on how great the service was and how unique it was and how it truly reflected us - all of which we loved and are reasons why we hired Keith. BUT - the ceremony lasted for 45 minutes instead of the 25-30 that we requested. When we told Keith we wanted music, he almost seemed to resent it because (my opinion here) it took the focus away from him and his ceremony/ideas. He sends you a questionnaire that you have to fill out, and he builds your ceremony off of that - which is great. We went through and did a bunch of editing of the ceremony, so in the end, it did feel like we helped quite a bit in writing it. I suppose I am dissatisfied with the cost of his service, with the quality of the original ceremony, and the value for the money. Overall, I loved the ceremony itself, and it was very personal and unique and reflected us as a couple, which is what we wanted.

We had the most intimate ceremony that truly reflected our beliefs, our love and our journey together. Keith was there to guide and lead this beautifully written personalized ceremony. Please were moved by the ceremony, they complimented on how truly it reflected our life.

If there is one compliment I heard the most about our wedding, it is that our ceremony was the most wonderful, personal wedding ceremony anyone had ever been too. Keith had us fill out questions about our relationship and each other so that he could build a personal ceremony and story for us and our wedding guests. Our family and friends were engaged from beginning to end and loved getting and inside peek into why we decided to marry and why we are in love. The memory of our ceremony is something that we, our friends and family will have for the rest of our lives. We also now have a wonderful new tradition of writing a letter to each other each anniversary as suggested by Keith and explained in our ceremony, to revisit why we love each other and grow in our journey. We will have more and more letters as the years go on. We loved that the ceremony was tailored exactly for us according to our lives and our story. He also asked us what emotions we wanted our guests to feel. He delivered 100%. Keith gave us a wonderful ceremony, and helped us start a awesome annual tradition. The quality of his service for the cost is phenomenal. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him. I will recommend him over and over! Thank you Keith for giving us an amazing wedding ceremony.

I’ll just start off by saying that every single person I’ve talked to about our wedding has told me that it was by far the BEST wedding ceremony they’ve ever attended. Keith is very good at what he does, and that’s creating a very unique, personalized ceremony catered to you and your fiancé. When I first met with Keith, I was a bit reserved about having such a personalized ceremony as I am a very private person and I wasn’t sure how I would feel putting so much information out there. I’m sooo happy I did. Keith’s delivery of the ceremony was fantastic. He has such a unique way of presenting, as he stands to the side of the bridal party, making the bride and groom, who face the guests the whole ceremony, the center of attention instead of himself. We asked for some traditional elements as well as some humor to shake things up a bit and he included them both. He also added a few elements to our ceremony that we’d never heard of before, but he did so with our go ahead. Keith is more than willing to work with you and offer advice while letting you be the creative director of the entire ceremony. Keith made our ceremony absolutely perfect!

I can't say enough about Keith, he was born to do this! Our first meeting had been planned for almost a year and he forgot about the meeting, but completely redeemed himself by being quick to apologize and gave a us an amazon gift card for our trouble. Once we got into the ceremony planning process, it was obvious how great he was. Our entire ceremony was customized from start to finish. He allowed me to revise many times until it was perfect. He helped up write our vows. He gave us great ideas for additions to our ceremony. He took charge during the rehearsal and brought everyone together. He made every single person at our ceremony cry AND laugh, including the two of us! Even my mother in law, who was none to happy about us using a non-religious officiant, was won over by the end and said he did a great job. Every one of our guests immediately said what a beautiful and personalized ceremony we had! We were so happy with our ceremony and it really felt like us! Don't hesitate for a minute to hire Keith, you will not regret it!

Neither my husband nor I are extremely religious so we wanted a more personal ceremony rather than a traditional one. And we also wanted a short and sweet one...more time to celebrate! :-) And Keith provided just that. We received SO-- many complements on how personal and entertaining our ceremony was. And I know that I was laughing or tearing up with joy the whole time.

I loved Keith's willing to meet with us and gave us questionairs and homework to do so that he could truly great a personal cermemony. Everyone that attended said it was really about us ( not religious at all :)). He was a great speaker and very trust worthy and friendly. Im so happy we chose him. Great price too.
