About This Vendor

A personal touch with a feeling of warmth & wit

Congratulations! If you are reading this, then you are about to embark upon the wonderful journey of marriage. I get asked why do I (an estate planning lawyer) want to be a wedding officiant. The answer is quite simple. I LOVE WEDDINGS! Hi. I am Ken Eisner and am excited to help you create a once in a lifetime and memorable experience because that is what your wedding should be. Even if you want a ceremony that is short and simple doesn't mean it can't be personal and meaningful. I make it unique by learning about you and if requested, reaching out to your loved ones (family and wedding party) to make it especially personal. I attempt to combine the perfect amount of the personal touch, along with warmth and humor (I do improvisational comedy as a hobby) so that your friends and family know what a wonderful couple you are. I typically spend about 15 hours preparing each ceremony. I embrace inclusive ceremonies for all couples, including those of diverse faiths and sexual orientation. My ceremonies include LGBTQ+, non-denominational, interfaith (other than Steelers-Ravens, of course), secular, and Jewish wedding celebrations ( I love to help facilitate a successful hora as well). While I am based in the Pittsburgh area, I will go anywhere to make your ceremony special and love destination weddings! Also, check out my website at www.kenimarryyou.com. My fee depends upon the type of ceremony, rehearsal and geographical limitations but my standard fee is $700 and $750 with a rehearsal which I highly recommend. If my involvement sounds the least bit appealing, let’s talk. My cell is 412-414-1533. Also, if you want personalized wedding keepsakes and/or transportation, I work with (a) ACCENTS on APPAREL (www.accentsonapparel.net) who will offer you specialized service and pricing, as well as (b) Sandy's 4DR service, which can drive you and entertain you from the airport to your hotel, to parties, and everywhere in between. Just call/text 724.612.0343. I hope that we get to work together. Sincerely, Ken (I Marry You?)

Ken was our officiant for our recent wedding 5/13/23 and we are so happy to have had him as a huge part of our day! He made the process fun and comfortable, he really cares about getting to know the couple and that’s such an important part to u...

s. He didn’t miss a beat when it came to keeping in contact and communication throughout the whole process. I love that Ken opened up the idea of getting our family and friends involved in the process, that was a special touch that I didn’t expect and it made our ceremony feel more personable. The way that he conducted our ceremony was perfect to us, very professional but also kept it light in a way that made us feel so comfortable with him up there with us. Feedback from our guests said that they loved the energy of love and compassion that he provided for us that day. I heard that some guests asked for his card before leaving that day! All in all, Ken it was so great to meet you, you are such a cool guy and we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else as our officiant! Hope to keep in touch and I know that anyone who hires you will not be disappointed!

I wanted to send a friendly Hello your way. Also, I wanted to thank you for the amazing service that you provided to Sara, Steve, their friends and family. I have to say, without a doubt, that it was the most enjoyable & memorable wedding cerem...

ony that I have ever attended ( including my own)! Frequently I find myself replaying, in my mind, different moments/chapters of the “Fairy Tale.” Each memory brings a laugh or a tear or an overwhelming feeling of love for my son & new daughter. Thank you for being such a key part😉 in making that day turn into everything that we were dreaming of. My wish for you is this: Many years of continued Officiant services and a very happy retirement with your lovely wife. Sincerely, Susan Miller

Response from the Vendor on 09/05/2022

Hi Susan. Thank you so much for those kind words. Coming from you, that means a lot to me. Not surprisingly, I rarely get those types of comments in my day job as a lawyer. 😊 I meant every word that I said in the ceremony. Sara and Steve's l...

ove story is like a fairytale. I had been looking forward to sharing that fairytale for months. It was also so heartwarming to watch how all of Steve and Sara's friends have such a great relationship with you and some of the other mothers. You should be incredibly proud of them. They have such a tremendous level of warmth that is pretty unique. Please keep in touch. I hope our paths cross again. Sincerely, Ken

We don't think we could ever thank Ken enough for making our ceremony so special! He knocked it out of the park! He really took the time to get to know us as a couple by meeting with us several times before the wedding, having us fill out coupl...

e questionnaires, and reaching out to our family and friends to get their insights regarding our love story. He told our story in such a heartwarming and honest way there was not a dry eye in the house (all happy tears of course! lol). It was truly a magical ceremony filled with laughs and heartwarming testaments from our loved ones. So many guests complimented us on his ceremony and stated it was the best ceremony they have ever heard. Not only was his ceremony impressive but also numerous guests raved about what wonderful people he and his charming wife are. He was truly an absolute pleasure to work with and have as a guest at our wedding. We wholeheartedly recommend his services if you are looking for a personalized and unique ceremony for your special day. We wanted to give him 5 million stars out of 5 but the website did not allow it!

Response from the Vendor on 09/05/2022

Tammy, thank you so much. You also did a great job. I’m finding that people sometimes need to know they have permission to laugh at a wedding. You set that tone right away. Jodi and I have been talking about what a wonderful and close knit gr...

cheduled many zoom calls, just to connect with us and hear stories about us as a couple. He paid attention to every detail and incorporated the perfect balance of humor, love, and sincerity in our ceremony. He even reached out to our wedding party to get some words from them, which was incredibly touching. We felt so much love and every one of our guests approached us afterwards to tell us how much they felt it too, all thanks to Ken!

Hi! I am blessed to have an amazing wife Jodi and two phenomenal daughters Carly and Jamie and two great dogs, Riley and Lily. I was raised in Pittsburgh. I went to Penn State where I announced play by play football. I then went to George Washington University for law school. I have several hobbies, including doing improvisational comedy and making creative but often awful drinks. A dear cousin of mine asked me to officiate her wedding. While I expected it to be a one and done experience, I enjoyed it so much and received so much positive feedback that I decided to make it a second career!
