She even presented us with the rings since my husband didn't have a best man. We rehearsed literally 20 minutes before the ceremony and it was perfectly fine. Everything turned out great. People were telling us during the reception how we knew Keith because the ceremony was so personalized. Filling out that questionnaire definitely made the ceremony unique. If you want a lighthearted, fun, and genuine guy to perform your ceremony, pick Keith!! He was awesome!! Thanks so much Keith!!

eciated his wisdom and insight of his speech. His humor was great! My guest just loved him! My husband was very appreciative of the advice he gave him the day of the wedding. He also gave wonderful direction to our bridal party as well. He truly went above and beyond. In a video taken from one of my guest. You see Keith bending down to fix my train after he pronounced me and my husband as man and wife. I was applauded by this because just a week ago Keith shared that he had surgery on his ankle but assured me that he will not miss our special day. What true dedication! It's also amazing when others pointed out his awesomeness. We have no regrets and we are happy we had him share in our special day. I highly recommend him! Thanks Again Keith!

was raised Catholic but is now agnostic and is from London). We had met at least 5 or 6 other officiants before we found Keith. From our first phone call, we knew he was the one. Keith is warm, genuine and very funny without taking any attention away from the couple. He brings a lightness to every conversation, and knows what questions to ask in order to make sure that he delivers what you want. He wrote a beautiful ceremony script for us and left us time to go back and forth with minor edits. The only thing I would suggest is that you negotiate an earlier start time the day of the event -- Keith typically gets to the venue 40-60 minutes before start time, but on our wedding day, he got caught in bad traffic and came in just as our ceremony was set to start. To be clear, I doubt this is a consistent problem (our wedding was in New York City, where traffic is particularly horrible). But just to be safe, I'd make sure you ask him to arrive at least an hour early. Other than that, our experience with Keith was perfect, and his rates were great. Couldn't have been happier!

minutes before the ceremony were priceless. Thank you Keith for making our ceremony so custom and special. We will never forget it!

and simple but with a hint of my religion in there, which he made happen. He talks very clear and calm so the guests are able abl

enjoys what he does. Keith listens to your input on the type of ceremony you want and will adjust and make changes accordingly.As soon as our ceremony ended we were already getting compliments on how beautiful it was. If you want someone who is down to earth and that will create exquisite vows, then go with Keith he will NOT let you down.

ul ceremony - we keep getting SO many compliments on so many of the unique aspects that Keith included for us. Filling out his questionnaire was one of the best things we could have done - we really do feel like we have known Keith for years and would recommend him to anyone looking for a beautiful, personalized ceremony without any worries on your wedding day! -Caitlin & Greg

not be marrying you? Well, that is exactly what Keith did to my fiancé and I. We were scheduled to be married the night before Thanksgiving, expecting 200 people and had no one to marry us. My fiancé promptly called Keith for an explanation and was told by him that he had not no one to replace himself, and would tell us Monday if he would be there on Wednesday. The person who we finally found told us how we signed himself out of the hospital after getting a stent for his heart, married the couple as he promised and then checked back into the hospital, because he said he would never do that to anyone! Now, that’s a professional!! We never did hear from Keith as he promised, just received our deposit back in a plain envelope with just a check in it, no personal note. His behavior was so unprofessional and heartless. I understand that he was injured, however, he could have shown caring and compassion for us by picking up the phone to tell us himself not texting at night when it was so hard to reach anyone, and he could have tried to find someone else to marry us. We had met with him before, read the positive reviews on the Knot and spoke to someone who had attended one of his ceremonies, so we felt confident in hiring him. However, he showed his “true colors” in his insensitive treatment of us. I am writing this because I want to spare other couples the stress and heartache that Keith put us through trying to find someone to marry us at the last minute.

ciant to make the ceremony filled with love and personalize it about us, while fulfilling everything we asked for. We completed the questionnaire that Keith had online and he made the ceremony into one of the most beautiful ones I’ve ever heard. He ran down the details before the ceremony and made sure it was okay to mention some things like the passing of my husband’s 20 year old brother. Keith also answered my millions of questions through e-mails months before the ceremony without a problem. I’ve received so many compliments on my ceremony, he really made my day so special!

he wedding vows and my husband I chose one of these packages. We answered a few brief questions and Keith was able to seamlessly incorporate the anecdotes into the ceremony. One thing I loved about Keith's service is we were able to choose our wedding vows from the options Keith has on his site. We knew exactly what he would say and there were no surprises or boring dull moments in the ceremony. Our guests loved him! He went over everything with my husband and I moments before the ceremony and calmed my husband's nerves (a little) before the ceremony. We received a copy of our marriage certificate via email the next day from Keith (in case we needed it on our honeymoon). You cannot go wrong with Keith in any way. He is the best there is!

t not to see one another! Keith knew this and acted not only as our go between with words of encouragement, but he also acted as one of our biggest cheerleaders! My husband was so nervous and he assured him that in the other room I was excited and so ready to see him! He also explained exactly how the ceremony would work before we walked down the aisle so we knew what to expect, which was awesome! We are of different faiths, and he blended them perfectly. Our families were so pleased, and everyone said the ceremony was beautiful. It focused on our love for one another, as well as our own personal story. Keith let us fully customize the entire experience, and he was with us throughout the entire journey! His support and guidance made all the difference!! During the ceremony, he encouraged us to talk, hold hands, and do whatever we needed to feel comfortable. He was funny, lighthearted and kind, and just so positive! We loved having him as our officiant. Thank you, Keith!! --Rachel & Adam Nadler

ore meaningful and personal wedding ceremony. Thank you so much and thank you for being so grounded for me before the ceremony (I needed someone calm and collected and you were there for me). Thank you so much!

initial email inquiry within hours, by phone. From the moment I first spoke with him on the phone, I knew he was the officiant for us! He was so down-to-earth and extremely easy to talk to--he covered all the questions I had in my mind before I even could ask them. I immediately had a comforting feeling after speaking with him and told my husband all about our conversation. Trusting me, we decided to go with Keith and chose the middle of his 3 packages--each package providing a few different options, so you can tailor the ceremony to your own needs. We were able to meet with Keith before our ceremony to talk things over and get to know each other better, which was a relief for me, being Type-A and needing everything to be organized--and it certainly was! The option we chose for our ceremony included the basic civil ceremony (although he does religious, as well), plus a special personalization by Keith throughout the ceremony, which was so amazing to hear on our wedding day all the personal touches Keith so eloquently put together into a beautiful arrangement. On top of his incredible ceremony, Keith was at our venue early, came to each of our suites to explain things again, calmed each of us down with his sense of humor and lighthearted spirit, and made our ceremony so effortless and worry-free. He even chatted sports to keep my hubby calm when the guest shuttle was 15 minutes late and he was waiting for me at the alter :). I cannot possibly explain in one review all the good things we have to say about Keith--he made our ceremony absolutely perfect and we could never wish for anyone else to so beautifully pronounce us as husband and wife!

al, and easy to talk to. He emailed samples of how the ceremony could run. In the end we decided to use the vows that he had written, and we modified the ceremony a little with the music for the recessional. It was really nice working with him.

egant, meaningful and heartfelt. Minister Keith Gugliuzza understood what we wanted from the start and delivered. He was great to work with both before and during the wedding - what an awesome spirit and personality! We were so incredibly happy to have Keith be a part of our wedding. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way!

ist of religion (for my dad and g-ma) I have to admit I was skeptical at first as we never met him in person until the day of. It really didn't matter. This guy delivers.

tly what I wanted it to be. He customized the whole thing to be more in line with what we wanted as a couple and it was perfect. We had so many compliments on the wonderful job he did!
