Book with him!!!
from his premarital counseling to the wedding itself, my husband and I couldn't have picked someone better for the job. He really made it a point to show us why and how to put God in the center of our marriage during counseling and he made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire process. I couldn't recommend Kevin enough. We had an absolutely beautiful ceremony, and counseling that will stick with us for the rest of our lives!!

Best officiant ever!!!
He did a bilingual ceremony for us and the whole thing from start to finish was amazing. We didn't know what we wanted in terms of a ceremony and we just explained we wanted something Christ centered and he delivered a ceremony beyond our dreams and expectations! 10/10 would recommend and if we got married 100 times we'd have Kevin for all of them! Thank you so much for making our day amazing!

Kevin was the greatest!
Kevin officiated our wedding and we were blown away. Kevin is so sweet, professional, and has a wonderful way with words. Kevin was prompt with his communication, and we scheduled a call to make sure we understood the process. Our ceremony was beautiful, and he added so many personal touches that made it even more meaningful. We laughed and maybe cried, but in all the best ways. Thank you so much Kevin!

Amazing job!
We hired Kevin to officiate our wedding and we're so glad we found him! He listened to our story and took the time to get to know us! The way he spoke at our wedding was graceful, and crowd pleasing! He spoke very boldly about love and his words were impactful! We got so many compliments and guest asking who he was. HIRE HIM! You won't regret it!

Kevin was great! He really listened to what we wanted, from the time aspect of our ceremony, to the content, to the vows, etc! Kevin did an amazing job in Spanish and English, he made it flow so nicely and everyone was impressed. He really made it personalized to us and he made sure that we were happy and comfortable with his plans. He was easy to communicate with and responsive to texts/calls when we needed him. Thanks so much Kevin for making our special day even better! Recommend for sure, especially bilingual ceremonies!

10/10 Recommend
So so happy we booked with Kevin. He was really kind in letting us do a phone call to answer questions before booking, and then we also did a FaceTime a couple weeks out from the wedding so he could get to know us better. He did such a great job at the ceremony, it was absolutely beautiful. It made it even more special he was able to do it bilingual for our families. We had multiple family members compliment him, and they truly thought he was our pastor he made it so personal and sincere. He talked about how we met, and our journey together. I can't wait to relive it in our wedding video!

Amazing, blessed, the best day.
Kevin was incredible, God hand selected this man to be part of this special day. Kind of a long story but we were praying and trying to decide how to ask someone from our church to officiate our wedding, as we were on our way to Disneyland for our bachelor/ bachelorette party, I received a message from Kevin, stating he went to our church! He had actually taken part in and was present for our baptisms! God answered our prayer! We did a couple of pre marital counseling courses with him. Our wedding was beautiful and Kevin took so much care in preparing the ceremony. Thank you so much! 10 out of 10!

Kevin was everything and more that we could've hoped/asked for!
Kevin was phenomenal. He told our story and made it personal and made it feel as if he has known us for our whole relationship. He made both of us comfortable and made our families comfortable as well. He shared his story of love and the whole ceremony was beautiful. Do not hesitate to do business with Kevin.

Exceptional officiant!
Kevin was extremely professional, courteous, and caring. Although we had a small wedding (10 people), he nonetheless put his full effort, energy, and enthusiasm into our ceremony. His words were moving and greatly touched not only myself and my wife but our entire family. We highly recommend Kevin to any other couple looking for an officiant. Exceptional!

Outstanding!
Kevin responded within an hour of my inquiry. I'm so happy he had availability on such short notice. He took the time to meet with us and got to know our personalities. He literally incorporated things from our meeting into his dialogue which made it so personal & I thought that was amazing!! He engaged with my guests, making them laugh, they all thought he was part of the family haha. Thank you Kevin, you made our day.

Highly Recommend!
We are happy we chose Kevin as our officiant. He offered us a consultation before hiring him to see if he is a perfect fit for us. He also offered a FaceTime meeting a couple of weeks before the wedding to go through details. He took his time to get to know us and personalized our ceremony without additional cost. After signing our marriage license, he took responsibility in sending it in. He was easy to communicate with and was professional. We highly recommend Kevin!

One of a kind!
Kevin officiated our service on May 19th, 2024. We felt extremely blessed to have found such a wonderful human. Words will never express how thankful we are. Our bilingual ceremony was just as we had imagined. Thank you for the professionalism and for making our day even more special by sharing "our love story" with our family and friends.

Kevin, man this guy was too perfect. Could not have found a better Officiant to marry us. He took the time to listen to our story, incorporated it into his speech part and made it just to perfect. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Kevin, man you get a million stars and than some. Thank you for everything and being apart of our special day. Will keep your number and recommend you if I can in the future.

Awesome experience with Kevin
Can't say enough good things about Kevin. He helped us prepare, meeting to go over everything, sending us helpful resources for writing our vows, and having us fill a questionnaire so that he could customize his speech around our story. He was punctual. And lastly, he did a great job conducting a very heartfelt, bilingual ceremony. 10/10 recommend him!

Kevin was Amazing!
Our overall experience was amazing! Kevin did a great job telling our love story to everyone. He was very nice and very professional. Before our wedding we had a phone call and asked us everything we wanted for our wedding down to our religion to how we met. He made us feel comfortable with the experience and would definitely recommend! Plus for photography/videography reason we didn't even notice but he moved to the side when we kiss which is huge! Thanks Kevin!

Our ceremony wouldn't be the same without Kevin
From the very beginning Kevin was very responsive to our inquiry. His price was extremely reasonable and he gave us great quality. Kevin really got to know us as a couple and used that to make our ceremony personal and intimate. We are so glad that we chose Kevin and would recommend him to anyone!

Unique, fun, special
Kevin was the officiant for our wedding and knocked or out of the park. A couple weeks before the ceremony we were able to meet and speak with him, he listened to our story, got to know us and was able to really incorporate that into our vows. He made our ceremony very unique to us which we were thankful for. Our family and friends also have lots of compliments on how special and funny the ceremony was! Highly recommend Kevin!

Great fit for us!
We met Kevin through a zoom call & decided to hire him. He was easy to talk to and we knew he would fit well with our casual small wedding. My husband was raised catholic & I am spiritual in my own way so we were able to meet in the middle. He made an effort to get to know us personally & made everyone feel comfortable. The ceremony went smoothly and he made our guests laugh just liked I wanted. It was even funnier when most of my friends thought he resembled my oldest brother. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

One of the best officiants I have ever seen
I never thought I would be able to find someone to marry us who would embody what we wanted. It had every single person engaged and even some people cried. We had many questions from guests asking how long Kevin had been our friend. I wouldn't have changed a single thing. Thank you Kevin!

Everyone couldn't stop talking about how beautiful our wedding ceremony was!
Kevin did an amazing job at ensuring that our ceremony was fun, but sentimental. We appreciate him greatly for making our wedding ceremony more than we could ever have imagined! Everyone kept commenting how wonderful, beautiful and sentimental our ceremony was. Years down the line, when we renew our vows we will definitely be reaching out to Kevin!
