Introduction: Congratulations! We are the "Men In Black Officiants".

More info about us, pics, videos, etc. are available on our website “Men In Black Officiants”. WHY YOU SHOULD REGISTER & BOOK MEN IN BLACK WEDDING OFFICIANTS The Cliff Notes summary (*additional details are in the attachments) • We have officiated at over 2,200 weddings & have 30+ years of experience • A MIBWO ceremony has attention paid to many details with little extras inter-woven in your ceremony • Ceremonies can be structured to be traditional, spiritual, or secular • We seek your suggestions as we do not use the same canned shelf ceremony over and over for all couples, where a one shoe fits all • Our ceremonies have sensitivity, humor, and a sense of awe • The ceremony from start to finish, includes all the written logistics and details to stay on track regarding music/processional/ceremony/and recessional directions • We complete and legally sign & register all your marriage license documents with the State for you and copy you on the documents We do it all for you. The fee quoted covers 20-30 hours of ceremony preparation. This is from start to finish including communications, emails, actual work hours, research, meetings, travel time to/from your wedding venue location, performing your ceremony, and the signing/registration of your marriage license documents with the State. Rehearsals have an additional fee. To save you expense, we recommend you run your own rehearsal, we tell you how, (however, a more involved ceremony often need a rehearsal). A ceremony is custom-designed for each couple. We are well known for our attention to detail, and extra touches we put into a wedding ceremony. The final ceremony script guides the officiant to adjust to the tone and mood of the ceremony on the couple's behalf. We suggest couples to "invest" time, resources, and funds in their ceremony which is the most important part of the couples wedding day. The ceremony "IS" your wedding! The buzz at a reception from family and guests will be about your ceremony where your hearts are joined for life. Having the "right "Officiant makes that happen for you. We are flexible in custom ceremony design and create the perfect ceremony for you! Many couples refer us to their family and friends. Our ceremonies are worth far more than an officiant fee paid. You want an Officiant that celebrates your ceremony with a larger than life personality. The bottom line? Secure the right wedding officiant for your ceremony that will capture your special moments during the wedding ceremony. We provide ceremony planning with couples by phone, text, and email. Occasionally, consultation meetings are requested. Call for more details. (Please note: we also offer a short (non-roman) catholic mass with/without communion or touches of catholic traditions at the venue location. We provide a catholic ceremony inside or outdoors, on a beach or at any venue. The catholic ceremony is in the Old Catholic Rite. This Rite is not in union with Rome but the ceremony is approx. the same.) "Men in Black Wedding Officiants balance fun with the Sacred, are spiritual as well as sensitive, and in addition, we are engaging and inclusive of all couples and guests." Thank you and Best Regards, Rev. Mr. Kenneth R. Warne & Rev. Michael K. Carroll Visit our website “Men In Black Officiants”

We had Michael and Ken officiate at my daughter’s 8/31/18 wedding in Philadelphia. This was an out-of-state wedding and there were numerous details to take care of. Ken was so helpful and super quick to respond to questions and provide feedback on the wedding script. They provided helpful suggestions for wedding readings and music selections. It greatly simplified what could have been an overwhelming process. Michael and Ken also provided invaluable advice during the rehearsal, putting my daughter and future son-in-law at ease. The ceremony was beautiful, they crafted such a personal, specifically designed one for them. They interwove some humorous elements that helped them to relax and enjoy the ceremony. They were so friendly and engaging, our guests told us repeatedly how much they enjoyed the ceremony and speaking to them at the reception. Selecting Michael and Ken was the smartest thing I did during the wedding planning process.

The Men In Black were phenomenal! Although we didn't meet them until moments prior to them marrying us, they were responsive to our requests, questions and e-mails and phone calls from the start. I never had to wait more than 2 minutes for a reply back from them when we were in the planning stages of the wedding. My husband proposed to me on July 20, 2015 and we were married on August 28, 2015. Rev. Michael and Rev. Ken made this short time frame work perfectly for all of us. They sent us great information, including sample vows and wrote a beautiful wedding script for us. Their charming and warm personalities made us feel like we'd known them for years. They added in a few fun and light-hearted quips into our ceremony which made everyone in attendance laugh and brought even more joy to our already blissfully happy day. Reverend Michael and Reverend Ken are very special people and I would recommend them to anyone who's interested in having top-notch officiants perform a marriage (or any other) ceremony. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make our wedding day memorable and PERFECT!

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.

Men in Black gave us a ceremony to remember. Both officiants were attentive and put us first in the experience. They gave a relaxed, thoughtful and beautiful service that we and all our guests praised highly. Their services were supportive right from our first meeting and MiB offered guidance all the way through to our wedding day. We would highly recommend them to others.

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!!!!!!

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal
