Kim has a great personality, and is very professional. He also made sure everything was seamless with getting our marriage license, and followed up with us after the wedding. I would highly recommend Kim as an officiant!

I found Kim online a month before my wedding and it was such a great experience. He was such a joy to work with and was accommodating to the type of ceremony we wanted. Our guests loved him as he kept them engaged throughout the ceremony. We honestly had more compliments about our officiant than anything else about our wedding.

I have been in the wedding industry now for 50+ years. I have seen a thing or two. I have lived in the Washington, D.C., Detroit, MI, Birmingham, Alabama, and now, Santa Rosa Beach.Fl. I love officiating weddings and everyone who attends my weddings knows that. I am still on the staff of a Methodist Church as Congregational Care Pastor. I enjoy putting everyone at ease for their ceremony and will shoulder the tensions and stress so that the bride and groom can enjoy their special day. I bring life and laughter to my ceremonies. You can trust me!
