In addition to my work as a wedding officiant, I am also a full-time professional Pastor of a church in Hollywood, Florida. In that role, I have the opportunity to counsel married couples who are experiencing difficulties in their marriages. Over the years, I’ve begun to see patterns of what gets couples off track. […]
In the midst of wedding planning, shinny rings and happy celebrations, very few people give engaged couples the tools and information they need to build a happy, solid marriage. That’s probably why 52% of first marriage end in divorce. But that doesn’t have to be the case! With an open mind and a willingness to […]

We could not have been happier with Kennedy as our officiant. We already knew from coming to church services that we liked his style of preaching – Kennedy is very energetic and that he presents scripture lessons in a relatable way- but he absolutely exceeded our expectations with our wedding service. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple through our pre-wedding counseling sessions, gave us good guidance for starting out our marriage, and used our discussions to tailor our service for us and our families. He worked with us to incorporate readings that we chose and gave us various options for the service so that our wedding felt personal. Then, on the day of our wedding, he hit the exact right tone for the occasion – it was still appropriately solemn, but truly so joyful. I felt Kennedy was as exuberant about our marriage as we were (and still are). Many of our wedding guests from various religious backgrounds commented on how great the service was and how much they liked Kennedy. We were so happy with every element of our wedding, but particularly with Kennedy, and recommend him very highly. – Naomi & Del

Looking back on our September 2012 wedding, there is no one I would rather have had perform the ceremony than Kennedy. My husband and I were very impressed with our pre-marriage counseling session as well as the options Kennedy gave us so we could customize our ceremony. His delivery during the service was fun and upbeat while still being professional. Plus his moves on the dance floor during the reception were pretty impressive! – Shannon and Justin Ward

We were definitely happy with the service that pastor Kennedy performed! Rashad and I were very happy with his choices of words and we were not only happy with the service, but with the marriage counseling that we had beforehand. We learned a whole lot from him and would recommend him to any of our friends or family. -Marcelina & Rashad
