Reverend Lau was simply amazing. He married my husband and me on the Gothic Bridge in Central Park, and it was straight out of an old romantic, film. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
I just had my wedding with Rev. Brad as the Officiant! He was awesome! He is funny at times but also serious and sincere. He called us prior to the ceremony to get to know us and our history as a couple. Also, I really liked that Rev. Brad is knowledgeable in what he does as I would’ve been lost without his suggestions. Highly recommend!!!
Reverend Brad was a great officiant for our wedding. Since we had our ceremony at our reception hall, we wanted to incorporate as much of the church/religious segments of the ceremony as we can, without dragging it out or having it be too religious. Brad took all of our requests into consideration and created a wonderful ceremony that was personal to us, as he called us prior to get some background info on the two of us, our history, our relationship, etc. He even added some comic relief which was a nice touch! I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an officiant, he can adjust his sermon to suit your needs!
Rev Brad was great! The ceremony was very lovely - emotional, funny and inspiring! He touched all of our families' and friends' hearts - including ours. Thank you for a wonderful wedding ceremony! (Also he is super super responsive!)
Our wedding ceremony went beautifully thanks to Reverend Brad he was patient and made us feel comfortable. This day was full of laughter and happiness thank you Reverend.
Officiant Brad is really the Best! 🙂
We couldn't asked more for our wedding.
He made us feel comfortable and he helped us with our vows. He suggested the best way for us to do the ceremony and he also made us laugh.
He made the ceremony a real moment of joy!
I highly recommend him, we were very happy to have him with us!
Also, he gave us beautiful ideas for the pictures!😃
He's great!
Thank you so much Brad! 😃🙏
Rev. Brad officiated our interfaith ( Christian & Jewish) ceremony. He knew exactly how to incorporate both religions. We cannot thank you enough for the most perfect ceremony. Our families and friends raved about you. You touched our hearts.
We thank you for your flexibility and commitment to our wedding. We are blessed to have had you officiate.
Brad was great from start to finish. We had a nice conversation from the get-go, and he was interested in adding personal information into our ceremony script after hearing how we met, etc.
We ended up writing our own portion of the ceremony, also including a lot of Brad's suggestions as well - the results were personal, sweet, light, and funny - just what we wanted for our easy elopement on a NYC pier. Our guests absolutely loved Brad!
Thanks for officiating our special day!

We got married just over a yr ago and loved working with Rev Brad. He made the process seamless and very easy, especially important for a busy couple like ourselves who had difficulty making time for anything wedding related! We spoke on the phone once or twice and exchanged a few emails. Upon the first convo we felt comfortable with him and found him to be lighthearted and funny, our personalities and expectations matched- just what we wanted! Ahead of the wedding we wrote a few things about us that we thought should be used/incorporated and Brad did a great job in making the ceremony feel like "us". Fast fwd to wedding day and our friends kept asking us how we found Brad! I've heard this before and thought "who would ever ask that" but really the ceremony was a highlight! Our guests found him refreshing, funny and very straightfwd, they raved about him! Given we have all been to many of the same weddings and heard many of the same ceremonies this was such a great compliment to Brad! We have no doubt that Brad would be able to deliver the same quality ceremony for other couples and would not hesitate to recommend him to others getting married!! (Our only regret was this review being a year overdue!!)
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant! Rev. Brad was very helpful in the careful planning of our wedding and made the process so easy. He dedicated the time to talk with us and get to know us. The ceremony was touching and personal, also light and refreshing. He had our guests both crying and laughing. Brad is experienced and professional and it was truly a pleasure working with him.
If you're looking for your ceremony to be warm, engaging, memorable -- and not too long, Brad is your guy.
Rev. Brad will work with you and your spouse to really learn your story and who you are as a couple and deliver a heartfelt ceremony that does broach into overly religious or cheesy territory. He really complimented our love story and set the tone for an amazing evening.
We still get compliments on how great our ceremony was and that is entirely because of Rev. Brad.
Brad was perfect. He worked with us to get what we wanted--a very low key non-religious wedding. He was the perfect balance of having a presence at the wedding and making it nice for us, but knew he was not the main event. He was funny and warm, but was not trying to crack jokes all the time or make it about himself. He made us comfortable and it was a great time. He is truly a professional.
Brad is an amazing officiant to have for your perfect wedding! He is very patient, friendly, flexible and accommodating with us. He knows how to make your special day even more special. His style is simple, elegant, and heart-warming with perfect length of time. We are so happy to find him for our ceremony, and we would definitely recommend him to any couple! He is just simply amazing!
Thanks, Brad! We received countless compliments on the thoughtfulness and detail put into our wedding ceremony. You really told our love story in a beautiful way that had many of our guests moved to tears!
Rev Brad was easy to contact and his fees are simple. He made the overall process very stress-free and smooth which is totally helpful during the already stressful wedding planning. He was friendly and memorable to all of my guests. We got tons of compliments on his ceremony and we were very happy with his services! Would definitely recommend to all.
Reverend Brad is a charming and kind individual. His calm and friendly disposition paired with his comedic nature is just the energy we wanted from someone who would be presiding over our union. He had our guests laughing, and had my husband and myself laughing as well. I would choose Rev Brad again and again!
Reverend Brad was absolutely fantastic! Our ceremony was the perfect balance of intimate, funny, and heartwarming. Despite not having met him in person before the wedding day, he connected beautifully with my husband and I, and our families. Our guests loved him as well - We’d recommend him in a heartbeat!
We only met Brad in person once and had two brief phone calls with him, but in that time, he was able to put together a ceremony that was perfect for us. He has a list of suggested readings and you can pick which you feel represents you as a couple, he’s also very flexible and accommodating with how you want your ceremony to be. The ceremony was beautiful and the perfect length of time, not too long, not too short. Many of our guests told us after that they thought he did a great job. We’re happy we went with Brad to officiate our ceremony!
Rev Brad was everything we could have asked for to marry us! So personable, friendly, funny, and genuine! He added ideas and thoughts on making the most of our ceremony and was just a complete delight in every sense. (Didnt hurt hes also a Ranger fan, in favor of the bride!) We highly recomend him!!
"The most perfect, intimate, funny and sincere ceremony I have ever been to." Just one of the comments made about Reverend Brad at our wedding. We could not be happier. He made the day so special and set the night off on the perfect tone. We knew immediately from meeting him that he was the right fit for the type of ceremony we wanted. Thank you again for making our day so special, and bringing tears and laughs to all of our guests.
Reverend Brad was absolutely a pleasure to work with! Prior to the wedding, Brad made sure to talk to us, discuss what we envisioned and ensured we were all comfortable leading up to the big day. On the day of, he arrived early and put our nerves at ease. His speech was the perfect balance of thoughtfulness and humor, exactly what we wanted. Our guests loved it. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant, so thankful we found Brad. Thank you again!
It was a pleasure to have Rev. Brad officiate our wedding. From the first time we met, we were put at ease by his affable demeanor, sense of humor, and professionalism. He never tried to impose his own vision on what the ceremony should be and was keen to facilitate the experience that we wanted for ourselves and our guests. Brad was easy to get in touch with and of course punctual on the day of our wedding. He socialized with our guests and was roundly liked by all, but again did not impose himself on the festivities. He has a real knack for being able to calm those butterflies that inevitably arise in your stomach the day of with a subtle joke to make you laugh or a kind word or smile that reassures. Brad's rate is very affordable compared to other officiants in New York and he is willing to meet and talk for as many (or as few) times as you like. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth officiant who is easy to work with and won't break the bank.
We hired Reverend Brad to officiate our multicultural ceremony. From the start, Rev Brad was professional, responsive, and attentive to all of our questions, concerns and requests. He conducted the most beautiful ceremony, with elements of both of our religions used in very tasteful and thoughtful ways. He truly exceeded our expections in every aspect and was extremely well received by all in attendance. We would highly recommend Reverend Brad Lau.
Rev Brad was an amazing officiant and I would highly recommend. Everyone told me how amazing the ceremony was and how great Rev Brad was. He's a wonderful speaker who's very eloquent and also funny and warm. He commands the room and had everyone paying attention and enjoying the ceremony. I highly recommend him to make your ceremony beautiful, special, and one that everyone will rave about. He also encouraged us to do our own vows and I'm so glad we did because it was the best part!
Reverand Brad was great, he made my husband and I feel very comfortable and we were able to just enjoy ourselves while creating this life long memory.
Rev Brad was a wonderful officiant. We received so many comments from guests complimenting our ceremony. Rev Brad helped us craft a ceremony that was heartfelt and memorable. He added just the right amounts of humor and lightheartedness. We couldn’t imagine a better ceremony. Thank you Rev Brad! -Maureen and Ryan
Rev. Brad was awesome! Before the wedding, we had a conference call over the phone to mull over each point of the ceremony as to not leave anything ambiguous. He gave several suggestions on what we could do or say during our ceremony, which I truly appreciated. On the day of the wedding, he came to our reserved suite to cordially greet my bride and I. He was funny and tried to lighten the atmosphere since everyone seemed a bit nervous, excited, and a flurry of emotions all rolled into one. During the actual ceremony, he gave a wonderful and funny speech which really went over well with my guests. I received many compliments from my guests that the reverend I chose was really good. Without a doubt in my mind, Rev. Brad is one of the best in this business. You really will not go wrong choosing him.
We can't recommend Rev. Brad enough for officiating our elopement ceremony!! He was so extremely helpful from the moment that we got in contact to even now post ceremony, answering any questions that we had- making planning a wedding from another country a breeze. He put us at ease straight away on the day and he helped us to have the most memorable wedding possible, and for that we can't thank him enough.
"Where did you find him?", "What a fabulous service", and "What a voice!" are just a few of the many favorable comments we've received about Reverend Brad.
In addition to his professionalism and sincerity, his obvious enjoyment of the role, good humour and his unique New York perspectives enlivened and created a very touching and memorable occasion.
We'd highly recommend Reverend Brad's officiant services to couples looking for a ceremony that's personal and creates a meaningful connection for the couple and their guests.
