We couldn’t be happier with Alan as our wedding officiant. He has an incredible talent for weaving together all the fine details and personal anecdotes about us into a truly beautiful and memorable ceremony. His creativity and ability to craft such a meaningful performance were evident from start to finish. Not only is he a skilled wordsmith, but he’s also personable, funny, and made us feel completely at ease. Alan turned our special day into something extraordinary, and we’re so grateful for his exceptional work.

Alan Katz is aaaamazing!! We had the pleasure of meeting him at our venue's annual wedding show, and we were immediately convinced that we had to hire him for our special day. From the moment Alan took the stage, his energy and entertainment value were simply unmatched. He struck the perfect balance between humor and professionalism, creating an atmosphere that was both relaxed and enjoyable for my husband, myself, and all our guests. His witty remarks had everyone laughing, while his sincere and heartfelt delivery added a beautiful touch to our ceremony. So many of our guests express how much they loved Alan. His presence truly elevated the joy and love in the air, making our wedding day even more memorable!

We had the pleasure of Alan officiating our wedding and he did an amazing job of including our family and friends in the ceremony. Alan's mix of humor and romance was the perfect blend for our beach wedding. Alan, we'll be seeing you in 10 years when we renew our vows!

If you're looking for an officiant who can make your wedding ceremony unforgettable, look no further than Alan Katz. This man is legendary. My vendors loved seeing his name on the master timeline because they knew he was going to do an amazing job. Not only did he suit up dressed to the nines, perfectly matching our color scheme, but he also kept our ceremony flowing like a seasoned pro. He was recommended to us by my sister-in-law and her husband, and now I'm recommending him to everyone I know--he's that good. Alan was crystal clear, engaging, and hilarious on the fly. His humor had our guests laughing and crying (in the best way), and SO many of them said the ceremony was their favorite part of the wedding. I'm 100% sure this was due to Alan's wit and charm. Do yourself a favor and book him before someone else does. He's worth every penny.
