Over 90% of wedding ceremonies MIBWO officiates at are Non-denominational. Rev. Carroll is an experienced wedding officiant with valid Legal and Ecclesiastical credentials. He respects all lifestyles and religious traditions, including non-religious and non-religious couple needs. After 3 decades plus of experience, he is old enough having the acquired experience and wisdom, and yet young enough to maintain a sense of humor, to be flexible and engaging during a ceremony. Rev. Carroll is very witty making the ceremony a joyful celebration and officiates the Ceremony while Deacon Ken handles administrative functions and serves as the ceremony Master of Ceremonies. Rev. Carroll officially trained for years in Seminary and was Commissioned as an Officer in the Military Chaplain Service, and was Ordained in person! This two-men approach works well in making sure that all details are covered so that your wedding ceremony is over the top. So having a valid ordained Officiant with over a quarter a century of experience track record giving direction and instructions for your wedding ceremony . . . is invaluable!
We create ceremonies with sensitivity, humor, and a sense of awe. You will be as pleased as were the many hundreds of couples we married as Officiants. We provide ceremony planning with couples by phone, email, or texting. A consultation meeting, when and if needed, can be arranged.

asy to work with on literally every aspect of the service leading up to our wedding day, by providing a lot of information about options on the script and different types of readings and ceremony flow, for example – we could just as easily have selected a more involved structure and I’m sure it would have been just as special). The end result was that our service was exactly what we had envisioned – meaningful and spiritual, organic and beautiful, relaxed and flowing, full of love and laughter. These guys are the best.

I was planning all of it by myself so it was nice to have that. i am so beyond grateful for them and all the information they provided. As for the ceremony.

Everyone raved about them throughout the night and even weeks after. it was such a great ceremony for us. and i would recommend them to everyone. <3

ntimental touch to it. They were incredibly helpful throughout the wedding planning process, from sending us examples/templates of how to orchestrate our ceremony to reminding us why marriage is such a beautiful occasion in the first place. Numerous of our guests commented that it seemed as if they've known us for a really long time, which is a factor that we very much appreciated. I would recommend these services to any who are considering. They absolutely assisted in making our special day as beautiful as it could possibly be!

The Men in Black were awesome! The ceremony was very easy and light which helped us with some nerves. Numerous guests came up to us during the reception to let us know how awesome ...
and funny they made the ceremony. Not only were they easy and professional on the actual day, they provided support throughout. Their suggestions and guides on everything wedding related were very helpful and answered plenty of questions we never thought about. We wasted no time recommending them on the day of and will continue to recommend them!!
Second marriages are different: more thoughtful, calmer, full of hard-earned wisdom, but also so filled with love and laughter. MIB fulfilled all of the above. Guests (and bride an...
d groom) were brought to sweet tears, but also wonderful mirth. During our vows, guest's eyes glistened, heads leaned together with their partners, hands reached for each other, shoulders touched. That is when you know it is real, and that our ceremony perfectly captured us as a couple, and the true meaning of love and companionship through thick and thin.
The Men in Black made our ceremony the best that it could possibly be. Everything was perfect. It felt as though the script was completely us. It was great having them mingle wi...

Thank you for the Beautiful Ceremony
The Men in Black (Rev Ken and Bishop Michael) were wonderful to work with right from the get-go. They we...
re extremely helpful, responsive, and so kind throughout as we planned for our wedding. We felt more than ready for the ceremony weeks in advance thanks to their preparedness and active communication. They created a beautiful script weeks before the wedding, and we really appreciated this because it was nice to know what to expect and it gave us the ability to prepare for the actual ceremony. They were very sweet, jovial, and funny with an incredible sense of timing; made us feel very comfortable during the ceremony and brought us tears of joy with their recitation. Not to mention they were a blast to dance with at our reception. We were incredibly lucky and honored to have them marry us.
Ken and Mike were a great addition to our auspicious ceremony and would highly recommend them to everyone!
My fiancé and I were very fortunate to find the Men In Black Officiants and book them for our beach wedding. From beginning to end, Ken and Michael were amazing to work with and h...
elped us create a one of a kind ceremony by sharing comprehensive amounts of wedding planning materials. In addition to their excellent planning advice for the ceremony, they provided thoughtful questions and counseling discussion topics for us to connect with each other and the sacrament of matrimony. At the wedding ceremony both Ken and Michael were pros. Through our work, they were able to encompass our personal styles with the perfect mix of tradition, humor, and love to make our ceremony beautiful and meaningful. Many guests commented on the moving sermon our officiants gave, as well as their reverence, spirituality and at times lightheartedness. It was an honor having both Ken and Michael officiate and bless our marriage. We could not have imagined a ceremony that reflected our love and religious upbringing in a better way.
Men in Black were very easy to work with. They explained everything clearly & gave us script templates to customize our wedding. They helped ease our nerves at the altar by adding ...
some comedic quirks. Our ceremony went smoothly, even with the skateboarders as background noise. LOL! They truly were an important part of our day, and we would recommend their services to anyone we know. They did an excellent job! Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Lee
It was a pleasure working with Men in Black Wedding Officiants from start to finish!
My husband and I both come from Christian backgrounds -but opposite sides of the faith. I w...
as raised in the Catholic tradition while my husband was raised Baptist/ Evangelical and is no longer practicing.
This mixed faith situation left us in quite a predicament upon getting engaged. It was always my father’s wish that I marry in the Catholic Church with a priest. However, we felt that my husband’s side would be lost, if not uncomfortable in that environment.
I struggled to find someone that I felt would make everyone happy until we came across Men in Black Officiants. I reached out to them to see if they could help us and Rev. Warne immediately responded and assured us that we could custom design a wedding of our own and make it “as much or as little Catholic as we wanted!”
And that is exactly what we did. We immediately got to work on creating our perfect ceremony that not only did we love, but all of our guests loved as well. My husband’s grandmother even commented that it was the best wedding she had ever attended.
Not only did they cater to our specific needs, but they went above and beyond your average officiants by providing us with Pre-Cana (pre-marital counseling) and were available throughout the process whenever we had a question or concern.
Planning a wedding is stressful enough and planning through Covid-19 in just another added stress. We had to take additional safety procedures and Bishop Carroll and Rev. Warne were happy to oblige and do their part to keep everyone safe. We couldn’t be happier! We highly recommend them to other couples to officiate at their wedding ceremony.
Beautiful Service
Just wanted to share some thoughts on the wedding service of Pat and Ryann C. that occurred on Friday, November 20, 2020, and was officiated by Men in Black Wedd...
ing Officiants.
I have to say, we were thoroughly impressed with their sense of reverence, spirituality, and at times light heartiness during the ceremony. It was an absolutely beautiful day, with the sun setting in the background made you appreciate the natural wonders that God has created, it was an amazing afternoon. Rev. Msgr. Michael K. Carroll, USAFR and Rev. Mr. Kenneth R. Warne created an inspirational and scared atmosphere that was spiritual uplifting and comforting.
They performed an absolutely beautiful service and we highly recommend them for a wedding ceremony.

First, I’d like to state that we were originally doing a destination wedding and due to COVID we had to change plans within 3 months! We were looking for officiants and came across...
the men in black and boy am I glad we found them! This is the bride by the way, when I was waking down the aisle I got a little emotional, for me that was bound to happen. As soon as I got to the alter these guys made me laugh! The ceremony was also so beautiful! We had a few jokes thrown in there and it make everyone laugh! I know it was my wedding but I think that was the most beautiful, funny, and well put together ceremony ever!
Michael and Ken responded favorably to our request for somebody to marry us, with very little advance notice. They took us by the hand and guided us through the necessary steps ...
to properly organize our small "Big Day" with the experience and knowledge that we desperately needed, in order to pull it all off without a hitch. Better still, they transformed our chaotic plans and turned them into a beautiful, meaningful and memorable ceremony. They took two nervous guys by the hand and kept us on track via their beautifully structured, customized service, and we are grateful to them. We cannot more highly recommend Michael and Ken.
The men in black were extremely comforting and supportive throughout the preparation process for our wedding. They contacting us the day prior to our wedding and helped to ease any...
concerns we may have had. My wedding ceremony was beautiful due to their professional expertise. I could not ask for more.
After being forced to postpone our wedding twice, my fiancée and I decided we were tired of waiting and wanted to do go simple. We just wanted it to be us 2 and an officiant. We we...
re fortunate enough to find Michael and Ken, who were truly a blessing. They not only worked with us on short notice but proved to be a huge help while we scrambled to get things organized last minute.
On the day of our wedding they were in communication with me throughout the morning, even calling me with a reminder to bring the marriage certificate. Even though it was not the big wedding that we had originally planned for, the ceremony was everything we could have asked for and more. Ken helped us by taking pictures, and Michael gave a fantastic sermon that was so perfectly fitting you would have thought he had known us for years. They were nice enough to stay with us for a few hours to take pictures afterwards.
Honestly, it is difficult to put into words how thankful and blessed we are that things worked out the way they did. After the pandemic forced us to postpone twice, we never would have thought we could have been as happy as we were about the way our ceremony turned out. Thank you so much.

We came across The Men In Black when we decided to change our original wedding plans due to COVID. Planning a wedding during COVID was stressful and The Men in Black were our light...
in this dark time. They made our day absolutely perfect given the difficult circumstances. The Men in Black were very understanding, informative, and supportive. They provided us with a wealth of information and really listened to our wants and needs.
With COVID we had decided to get married in our parents living room with no more than 10 people and the Men In Black made great suggestions with the room layout to make our ceremony more intimate and comfortable for our guests.
The ceremony was exactly what we hoped for and we would highly recommend them to our family and friends.
Rev. Ken and Msgr. Michael, we cannot thank you enough for helping us create such a special day and we look forward to our vow renewals with you both in the years to come!
Before my daughter was even officially engaged, I had begun the search for a wedding officiant. We were not on the same page. My husband and I wanted her to have a traditional Cat...
holic church wedding, which was not what she envisioned for her wedding ceremony. I wanted a priest, but I knew that a priest would not marry a couple outside of the church. So I was thrilled when I found Men In Black Wedding Officiants through a google search. I knew from the moment we contacted them that they were the perfect fit for what I wanted and for what my daughter wanted. They are very detailed oriented and always answer any questions very promptly. To say they are organized is an understatement.
On my daughter's wedding day, we were all very excited to meet Rev. Msgr. Carroll and Rev. Warne. They are both very friendly and have a great sense of humor. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect. After the ceremony, guest after guest came up to my husband and me and commented on how beautiful the wedding ceremony was and how much they enjoyed listening to Rev. Carroll and Rev. Warne. We were also very honored to have them do a blessing before we ate, and they even made everyone laugh out loud with a funny joke!
I would highly recommend Men in Black. We couldn't be more pleased. Five Stars all the way!!
In March 2020, my fiancé and I had to postpone our Grand Cayman wedding three days beforehand due to COVID-19. We set a new date in June, but we were notified in May that we would ...
need to delay again. Wanting to keep our date, we cancelled our destination plans and started arranging a backyard wedding in our hometown.
We only had a few weeks, so our first search was for an officiant, which is how we came across the Men in Black. Their reviews were outstanding, and from the videos we watched of them, we could see why. We decided to reach out – and we are so happy we did.
From the very start, they were engaging and focused on making sure our ceremony was EXACTLY how we intended. We did not have long before the wedding, but they took what little time we did have to understand our vision and then provided us with options to choose from and/or personalize. They also sent us several useful ceremony tips and resources to help guide us along the way.
We could go on about how great they are. But if we had to give one reason why we highly recommend them, it would be the experience. They made everything simple, fun, and most importantly, they made it about the two of us. We cannot thank them enough for creating such a special and sacred ceremony.
This duo is sure to impress! What a fabulous way to have a unique ceremony and well received by 200+ guests. My wedding ceremony was nothing but perfect. I worked well planning wit...
h these guys and seeing the finished product is happy tear worthy for days! They are really the perfect pair to light up your ceremony. You won’t have just an average ceremony , everyone will be talking about it! Sure you could get just anyone to marry you but why not have the BEST in the business!
Highly recommend Men in Black. We could not have been more pleased with the way our Vow Renewal turned out. Greatly appreciated the effort that MIB took to get to know us and wor...
k with us to tailor the ceremony so that it was unique and something everyone could connect with instead of just a standard service. Everyone enjoyed the light touches that were woven in making our beach ceremony memorable. Our guests keep complimenting us on having Reverend Msgr. Michael and Deacon Ken officiate. They helped make our 30th wedding anniversary truly a special occasion. Have no doubt about hiring Men in Black for your event.

etter than any wedding planner. The hints they provided made our ceremony by the water perfect. They joined our reception like family, and all had a blast. Our friends are still talking about Ken and Michael. If you want a special ceremony, these two are the right ones. Thanks Michael and Ken!
We cannot express how thankful we are for Michael and Ken. They were warm and welcoming right from the start, taking the time to explain their process to us over breakfast. They we...
re funny and friendly and kept us informed. They were so accommodating to what we envisioned for our ceremony, and provided us with multiple examples and options of how we could piece it all together to make it perfect for us. Ken was so patient with me as a stressed out Bride and didn't seem offended when I kept jumping the gun. We are again so thankful for their service - our ceremony was perfect and so "us". 10/10 would definitely recommend.
We are so happy we picked Men in Black to officiate our wedding! Working with Kenneth and Michael was truly a pleasure from start to finish. They helped us prepare the perfect sc...
ript and made us feel at ease on our big day. We received multiple compliments on the ceremony and would recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect combination of professionalism and charm.
The BEST in the Business!!!
Words really cannot describe the extent of the positive experience my wife and I had dealing with the Men in Black. From start to finish the MIB were ...
extremely responsive, informative, helpful and wonderful to deal with. The amount of information they had and suggestions in helping to form the ceremony made our lives so much easier and allowed us to focus our time and energy in other aspects of the wedding.
The guys are extremely detail oriented and organized which allowed for a flawless ceremony that our guests raved about. They listened to our wants and needs and time constraints and formulated a perfect religious ceremony that mirrored our personalities and humor. The timing, the feel, the readings, the music and the little jokes they told about created the perfect balance between a normal mass and casual setting.
In short, these guys are absolute pros at what they do. They are caring, funny, professional, reliable and very well organized. I would recommend them to anyone from any background looking to tie the knot. It was an honor and a pleasure working with them and I would highly recommend them to any of my friends or family members looking to marry.
Being in the wedding industry myself, I've had the opportunity to work with The Men In Black Officiants quite a few times over the years. From the beach to the country...and large...
venues to smaller intimate gatherings... they always do such an outstanding job.
While other officiants may forget names, lose their place, go off on tangents or even speak so quietly that you can't hear them (even with a microphone)....the Men In Black are engaging and exemplify professionalism during a wedding ceremony. They are truly the exception to the rule when it comes to wedding officiants in this market.
Being involved in the wedding industry since 1989, I've seen (first hand) the difference that a professional service can make. Sadly, we live in a time when many couples choose to forgo a professional service and choose a family member or friend (with little to no experience in this field) to officiate their wedding ceremony. Though some go well...I can't tell you how many couples have expressed remorse (after the fact) that they didn't choose a professional.
Maybe you, yourself, have been a wedding guest and were not impressed by a wedding officiant. I'm certain that it could be very easy to dismiss this part of your big day. Maybe your thought is that "anyone can do that". Yes, that's the truth anyone "can" do it....but not everyone can-do-it-well-and makes the ceremony special. In fact, you may have no earthly idea of how special it can actually be, when done correctly. Smiles, tears, laughter, memories, and encouragement are all elements that make up a unique ceremony....but in many cases, they are missing. This is YOUR wedding. It's YOUR once in a lifetime event. It SHOULD be amazing!
With the Men In Black...it's never hit or miss. They always deliver what they promise. They take the time to work with each couple to create a one of a kind ceremony that is truly centered around each couple's unique relationship together. They're easy to get in touch with during your planning stages and are quick to return all inquiries.
Always smiling, always on time, always prepared, and always giving 100 Percent. Both you and your wedding guests are guaranteed extraordinary memories. In short, when we do things with LOVE, they are done well. I can tell you that the Men In Black love what they do... and do what they love. It shows at every wedding.

A week before our wedding on the beach my fiancé (at the time) and I were faced with the possibility of bad weather. We were so upset because of all of the planning and decorations...
and the dream we had of our wedding was crumbling around us. We couldn't find a venue that wasn't already booked or that was close to a location that included food and hotels for our family. We spoke to The Men in Black Wedding Officiants and they immediately got to work looking for a venue and preparing our ceremony. It was unbelievable! Within 24hours they had found 2 venue locations. One of them we actually fell in love with and got it for a phenomenal deal. Ken didn't waste anytime coordinating, he called and spoke with the manager and setup a meeting for us to see the location and meet the owner. They even rearranged their schedule to accommodate the meeting so we could sit down and go over everything with us to get a game plan since we had less than a week to get everything together. The Men in Black officiated our wedding on 10/28/2018. They kept in contact throughout the whole wedding process, even offering advice about the ceremony table and chair layout, which we found super helpful! Ken and Michael are so great to work with! They will customize your ceremony script to make your day extra special! On the day of the ceremony I had forgot the easel for the "cord of three strands" ritual as well as forgetting to untie the braids before beginning the ceremony. It was the only ritual I wanted and it meant so much to me. I thought it was ruined but Ken and Michael turned without missing a beat and revealed their own cord of three strands that they had actually made for us as a gift. I was moved to tears. The fact that two people who had just met us could care so much about our wedding day. They were determined to make our day special and they made it absolutely unforgettable. They were absolute angels from God! At every step of the way we faced some obstacle and they smiled and had a solution. Thank you so much for everything! We look forward to seeing you at our 5 year vow renewal!
The Men In Black Wedding Officiants were an absolute pleasure to work with! Michael and Ken officiated our wedding on 7/7/2018 and the ceremony was beautiful, emotional, and heartf...
elt. So many of our guests spoke with us (and with Michael and Ken!) at the reception and told us that it was simply one of the most touching ceremonies they had ever had the privilege of witnessing. Michael and Ken are easy to work with and very patient, and they care deeply about helping you create your perfect wedding ceremony. Their suggestions and recommendations from past experiences add such a personalized feel. We simply cannot recommend the Men In Black Wedding Officiants more highly. Michael and Ken, thank you for helping us create the memory of a lifetime! Collin & Ainsley
My fiance and I were faced with the challenge of moving our wedding date up to accomodate his very ill parents. It was super important for his parents to be there for our wedding ...
day, but their health was failing......BOTH of them at the same time. We decided to forego the traditional "big family wedding" and opted for an intimate, immediate "family only" ceremony in the matter of weeks. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but having to put EVERYTHING together in a few weeks is almost impossible. I was looking for a wedding officiant who was flexible, organized, competent and most of all, had a warm and welcoming sense of humor. The Men In Black exceeded all of those expectations beyond our wildest imagination. They were responsive from the first inquiry, and from there, it was flawless.......Absolutely SUPER ORGANIZED......NO MATTER WHAT DENOMINATION OR FAITH YOU PRACTICE, MEN IN BLACK CAN AND WILL ACCOMODATE YOU. I was so hesitatant about shying away from the "the traditional church wedding", but time was not on our side. The MEN IN BLACK were a God sent.....I cannot thank them enough for their professional service, quality of ceremony and amazing communication throughout. If you are looking for an officiant, please.....LOOK NO MORE.....THE MEN IN BLACK ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. Congrats on your big day!!!! You have enough to worry about.....Let the Men In Black do what they do best!!!!!!
MIB were out of this world! Our wedding would not have been the same without them, we’re so glad we chose them to officiate our wedding. They felt more like guests we had known fo...
r some time rather than wedding vendors. Everyone loved them and commented on how great they were. Not only were they professional and prepared to a “T” but they were entertaining as well. Set your wedding apart and choose MIB to officiate your wedding!
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the Men in Black. My wife and I had a destination wedding planned. A month before the wedding we were given devastating news that my ...
mother in law had been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. We had to cancel our wedding and focus on her health. After starting treatments we were advised to get married ASAP from her doctors because of the uncertainty of her health. We were able to schedule around her chemotherapy 2 months out. Now we had re-plan everything in that short period of time. I reached out to many wedding officiants trying to find someone who was reasonably priced and had great reviews. After talking to MIB and they heard our situation there was no doubt that we were going to use them. These men went completely out of their way to help us. They gave us so much useful information and checklist to help plan everything. Whenever we had questions they answered quickly. On our wedding day 1/6/18 they drove 3+ hours through a snow blizzard to our wedding and they did not disappoint. The delivered a beautiful message during our ceremony. They were professional but at the same time they said appropriate jokes along the way. During the reception they were very friendly and talked with many of guests. Everyone loved them. I can’t say enough positive things about them. If you are in need of a wedding officiant MIB are the way to go.
The Men in Black were the perfect officiants for our wedding and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. In the build up to the wedding they were helpful and informative and...
always available to communicate with if needed. They were professional prepared and accommodating from the moment they arrived at the wedding. Best of all both of the guys are so personable, calming, funny and helpful. They helped us through our ceremony with expertise whilst also maintaining the flow and feeling of the ceremony. The Men in Black helped us enjoy the day.
Kenneth and Michael were awesome! My wife and I couldn't be happier that we decided to chose the Men in Black Wedding Officiants for our big day! I would recommend them for others ...
moving forwards!
"Men In Black " were very responsive to communication during the planning process, and gave a lot of options for our small ceremony. They arrived early, got straight to paperwork...
and showing everyone what they needed to do. This was very helpful. They were very relaxed and walked us through our ceremony in a very positive way. It was great for the small event we put together.
I would say there was a lot of email information at once early on so that was a bit daunting to sort through for me. But otherwise, we had the ceremony we planned and had a nice time with both Kenneth and Michael.
These gentlemen all but ruined our big day. Since speaking publicly on this matter I’ve had numerous others reach out to me directly to tell me theyve experienced similar situation...
s with this pair. They shoved me (the bride) down the aisle instead of a cue. Grabbed the groomsmans behinds. Made sexist comments to the bridesmaids. They also said the WRONG NAME for the groom numberous times during the ceremony. They did not follow the script my husband and I wrote for them, went way off with add ins we specifically asked them not to read. Causing the ceremony to go over and the sun to set, simply meaning we didn’t get all of the photos we should have because we lost precious time due to them doing as they pleased on our special day. They even warned the bestman prior the ceremony that they had thugs they wanted to add in and they didn’t care if the bride and groom liked it or not. The two of them also made very inappropriate comments to a LOT of our guests. Made people extremely uncomfortable. Double fisting alcoholic beverages and chain smoking all night until the last guests were leaving. This was a nightmare experience and I’d avoid having these guys at any meaningful event moving forward.
I did reach out to them to express my upset with them. They were defensive and insistent that “everyone loved us and told us how great everything was” when that’s not the story we got. They only defended their poor actions.
We found Men In Black to be easy to work with, highly responsible, and provided us with ample information and guidance in preparation for our wedding. The ceremony was exactly as w...
e planned it and they provided an excellent balance of professionalism, spirituality, and humor. We would highly recommend Men In Black for your wedding ceremony.
Ken & Michael were great! They were very helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. They send lots of helpful information. They were in touch the day before the weddin...
g to check in and go over last minute details. They also made sure I was ok before walking down the aisle. The ceremony was wonderful, and Michael made it special while adding humor to get everyone laughing. Our guests loved them both! I would definitely recommend if you want a memorable wedding ceremony.
Indeed, getting married can be both a happy and stressful event, but thanks to the Men In Black Wedding Officiants (MIBWO), marriage was all happy! We had reached out initially to...
MIBWO through online search, and immediately they got back to us. What was particularly impressive was that we made initial contact roughly 3 months before the wedding, and they were very flexible in fitting us into their schedule easily and without rush. MIBWO gave us the choice ahead of time whether we agreed to receive a plethora of email advice on wedding vendor choices, etiquette, things to remember, etc.; and we are glad we said yes because the info helped. We no longer needed to hire a separate wedding planner! Both Bishop Michael and Deacon Ken were fun to meet in our first face-to-face while, at the same time, addressed questions about submitting the marriage license form. Sure, both held all the theological credentials, yet they made us feel more comfortable with their earthliness and good humor. This humor even carried over to the actual wedding ceremony in which they added some unexpected tongue-in-cheek ad-lib to our wedding script. Everyone loved it! We are sorry that MIBWO could not join our reception as they were in high demand that day to officiate other weddings, but we’ll invite them to the next one….LOL! -Jay & Rick
Ken and Michael were fantastic. We were planning our wedding remotely which was stressful because we could not meet our officiants in person before the event. Ken and Michael mad...
e this process easier by being extremely responsive and understanding. They tailored the ceremony to our exact wishes, added some humor and helped make our day perfect. Everyone loved our ceremony and the MIBWO!
Ken and Michael were amazing! I was planning the whole wedding in only 3 month so I think I've found Men in Black only 2 month before our date. They were extremely helpful and pati...
ent with our responses and helped to create a very special and beautiful ceremony. They've made us feel as comfortable as we could be on our wedding day, even though the groom was almost an hour late and we didn't rehearse anything. We are extremely happy with how nice everything turned out, thanks to the Men in Black! They've also joined us at the reception dinner and our guests were very pleased to spend some time and talk to them. We highly recommend Men in Black, these guys are true professionals and are such a pleasure to work with! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
We were married in October 2016 by the Men in Black Wedding Officiants and I can say without hesitation that our ceremony was amazing thanks to Michael and Ken's expertise, persona...
lities, and their visible joy in officiating. Ken and Michael are true professionals yet they are also extraordinarily fun! Our ceremony was filled with just the right blend of tradition, attention, humor, and romance. Upon meeting Ken and Michael for the first time we knew they were the right fit for us and for our ceremony. So many of our family members and guests remarked on how much they loved Michael and Ken. They not only immersed themselves in our ceremony but they immersed themselves into our reception and family. They celebrated right along with us by taking selfies, dancing, eating, and drinking. They made our day extra special. We would recommend Men in Black Wedding Officiants to anyone needing an officiant. They are truly "the best".

I was married this past weekend by Michael and Ken and I can't believe I was lucky enough to find these two amazing souls. I first met them at my rehersal dinner where their infect...
ious personalities instantly made me feel like I had known them for years and years. Both of them instantly clicked with my entire Family and husband. We talked the whole ride home about how amazing they were. The actual wedding ceremony could not have been more perfect. Ken and Michael have a way of making couples feel so at ease! They rocked our ceremony and made it sweet, yet humorous. They were able to read my husband and I like a book and they knew exactly how to make our ceremony perfect for us. I would recommend Ken and Michael a thousand times with the highest regard. My family and I could never thank them enough for their dedication to us, attention to detail, and most of all their amazing personalities. Truly wonderful people who are great at what they do.
My husband Jason and I highly recommend the Men in Black. Reverend Ken and Reverend Michael did such an amazing job! Our ceremony was customized to match our personalities. The Men...
in Black stayed in contact with us throughout the entire planning process, sending us emails with very useful information that made our wedding day highly successful. If you are planning to get married, please choose the Men in Black, I promise that you will not regret it!
Our wedding was perfect, thanks in major part to Ken and Michael at Men In Black. From day one of contacting them they were full of advise and helpful information, and helped us pu...
t our own personal touches on our ceremony. All of our guests were insanely impressed by the sentimentality and quick wit that they weaved into our big day, and we were equally impressed. Thank you Ken and Michael !
