Rev. Dave Angle (The Wedding Rev) provided a detailed, informative and open communication style throughout our wedding planning process. Their work was truly top notch. He took our story, our inside jokes, and our love for each other and created a masterful script. His style is meaningful and well-thought out. On our wedding day, he keeping us on track and showed great poise that eased any tensions or anxiety we felt. Rev.

We can’t say enough amazing things about Phil Landers. From the start, he was professional, warm, and incredibly thorough. His planning process was smooth and efficient, and it was obvious why all his reviews were so outstanding—he lives up to every word of praise and then some. What truly sets Phil apart is the personal touch he brings. He didn’t just perform a ceremony; he told our story in a way that made everyone laugh, cry, and feel connected. And then—he did something no one expected. Phil included a one-of-a-kind element in the ceremony that none of our guests had ever seen before. It was creative, heartfelt, and incredibly moving. People are still talking about it, and honestly, so are we. He has a gift for making the ceremony feel intimate and meaningful, without ever being overly formal or generic. It felt like us—which is exactly what we hoped for. Choosing Phil was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. He exceeded every expectation and gave us a ceremony we will never forget. If you're looking for an officiant who brings something truly special to the table, Phil Landers is the one.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin. Pat was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We met with Pat before signing with Koru Ceremony and knew after that short meeting she would be the one to marry us (I even canceled my other appointments with other officiants). Pat took time to get to know us, who we were individually and as a couple and created a ceremony that was absolutely us. When we first got our script for approval, I cried. We also received so many compliments after the ceremony on how great it was executed. We couldn't have asked for a better day and Pat started the afternoon with a beautiful ceremony, one we could have only dreamed of.

Short answer: Yes! Hire Mike for a fantastic officiant! You won’t regret it! Long answer: I have been fortunate to know Mike since university. We were roommates for a year and he has been my soccer captain to this day. When my now wife and I were looking for an officiant, I thought about Mike. Not only because he knows me, but because I know how great of a public speaker he is. How personable he can be with anyone he meets. I guarantee he will take the time to get to know you and your significant other. He will learn every detail of your story. He will personalize your wedding to exactly the way you want. If you don’t know him like I do, still reach out to him. I guarantee you will be amazed by his personality and his care for your love story.

Our team of officiants has over 600 weddings experience in the last 8 years. We are experienced in creating a ceremony that is perfect for you and your fiancee for the best start to your married life.

Jennifer was wonderful to work with. She was very easy to contact and quickly answered any and all questions. Rehearsal went by so smooth and made sure to allievate any concerns and nerves- everyone knew what to do, when to do it, and how. The ceremony itself was more than what we could have hoped for. Jennifer kept it upbeat, loving, emotional, and just FUN! We were involved in the writing process so the ceremony was personal and full of meaning but kept a lot of surprises for us. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough!!!

I help couples honor their connection to Judaism and show them how to incorporate that respect into their wedding ceremony...in a way that is comfortable for them.
