NY Marriages

Having a destination wedding was very stressful, but I was a very FORTUNATE bride to have Keith perform our ceremony. He guided us through the necessary steps to getting our license, places to stay ect. We had a beautiful ceremony from a man that truely loves his job and We both feel we have made a lifetime friend.

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Keith. After initial phone conversations and an in-person meeting, we were confident that Keith was the right fit for us. We were instantly comfortable with him. He asked us a lot about who we were as individuals, as a couple, how we met, etc. He really cared about our answers. Keith was always very responsive and friendly- an overall pleasure to work with. The ceremony was beautiful and personal. Keith understood and respected that we wanted a non-denominational ceremony. He crafted a ceremony that was what we wanted and represented what was important to us. I highly recommend Keith.

Tim and I wanted to be married on our 25th Anniversary, which happened to fall on Easter Sunday this year.. We had waited so long for the NY marriage equality law to pass and now here it was that special day that we had marched and protested for here and in Washington. It was sheer luck to come across Keith, who not only seemed to understand our wishes and anticipate our anxiety, but put us at ease instantly and handled our beautiful service in Central Park with such calm and charm that everyone was instantly taken with him. The ceremony he performed was specially tailored for us and our long awaited celebration, with beautiful passages and heartfelt emotion. Not the least to mention that he spent Easter morning away from his family just to be with us and make our day perfect. I can't thank him enough.

Our experience with Minister Keith was tremendous!!! Keith is very professional and efficient in all phases of the marriage process. It was a pleasure dealing with him. I would highly recommend him for your marriage ceremony.

It was a pleasure having Keith as our officiant, I will suggest Keith to anyone , is a really nice guy and i had tears on my eyes the way he spoke during the cerimony. Great job Keith. To all the brides : Relax that day try not to pay attention to every single detail :)

Dear Keith, We are so glad our friends said "You have to meet him, you will love him". Because we did love you from the moment we met you. It felt like we new you already. You were so easy to talk to and made us feel so relaxed through this crazy journey. You and I had many emails and phone conversations about the way Shai & I would like our (interfaith-non religious) ceremony to "flow" and you took every question, concern and conversation we had and wrote the most beautiful ceremony for us. We are getting so many compliments about how unique it was and how it was not boring or stuffy at all. Which is exactly what we did not want.. a ceremony that people have heard 100 times or would be counting down the minutes until it was over. By time March 10th came, we felt like you knew us well enough to speak freely and not just read words off of a piece of paper - and that says a lot about you. We could not be any happier with our ceremony and we can't thank you enough for helping make that night a dream come true. Best Wishes Always, Danielle & Shai

Keith was very friendly and smart, and did an excellent job at my wedding. He was willing to do exactly what I wanted at my ceremony, and followed through with a beautiful and professional, yet fun ceremony. His fee was also very reasonable and half that of several other officiants I contacted.

I was very glad that I ran into NYmarriages.com. From the first moment of talking to Keith on the phone, he was very kind and inviting. He was also very flexible and forthcoming. He was also very prompt when dealing with us, he also explained the process in detail so everything was very clear. On the day of the ceremony, he was welcoming, even felt like one of the family, open to take pictures with us and the guests. Keith had my mother crying with the wonderful words he used during the ceremony. He carried out his duty very eloquently and with great passion. I was so very happy that he was the one that helped my partner and I to be joined forever. You couldn't get a better Officiant for your wedding.

If you want a really great minister to perform a fantastic ceremony for your wedding, call Keith. He is an excellent minister with a great sense of humor and made our day so special. On top of that, he is a really cool person. You wont go wrong with Keith.

Keith was absolutely WONDERFUL !!! We live on the west coast, and he was able to answer all our questions and help us with our arrangements over the phone. He was witty and sincere. We feel very lucky to have had him as our wedding officient. Sincerely, Siusan and Duane Bosworth

We could not have even imagined what a wonderful ceremony Keith would perform for us two weeks ago. Since this was not a traditional marriage, same sex partners in our 60's who have been in a forty year relationship already, we were at a loss to find the right wording,the right "feel" to the ceremony as we were not youngsters starting out,and certainly not blushing. After interviewing several other officiants, Keith seemed to have the right ideas and a wonderful focus for what we were all about. Several emails, several phone calls was all he needed to give us a ceremony that was exactly right for us,and really did express what our lives had all been about. Not a dry eye in the house, even the servers and bartenders were crying, that was how beautiful and moving our wedding ceremony was. Yes, the wedding flowers were magnificent, the food delicious,the guests all supportive, but everyone was more impressed with Keith than any other aspect of this magical evening. Selecting Keith Gugliuzza to officiate at our wedding was one of the best things we have ever done. Since we live in Florida, and our marriage was in New York ,we did not have an opportunity to meet prior to our ceremony. Upon meeting Keith, we both felt as if we had known him a very long time, and left New York with a new friend.

Words cannot express how wonderful Keith was from start to finish. When I first contacted him, he got back to me right away he explained his services to me and was super friendly. I told him what I wanted and he sent me a copy of his ceremony, which I fell in love with. You would have thought he wrote that ceremony strictly for us. I told him I wanted to incorporate my soon to be step-daughter into the ceremony by saying vows to her he gave me some suggestions and told me of a necklace we could get if we wanted to. I ultimately wrote my own vows to say to her and gave her a necklace that was signifcant to our family. I sent my vows to Keith who thought they were great and had them so I could repeat them after him at the ceremony so as I wouldn't forget them! During the ceremony he was cheerful, not drab, he made the experience wonderful. He stayed for a bit after the ceremony and enjoyed cocktail hour with us, he was so friendly, down to earth and an amazing guy. If you need an officant who will make your ceremony special and make everyone in the room thnk he has known you forever with his simple ceremony Keith is the way to go, his price was reasonable and he was an absolute pleasure to work with! Thank you Keith for being so awesome and making our day so amazing!

My husband and I are not religious, so we had some difficulty finding an officiant who could perform the type of civil ceremony that we were looking for - simple, non-religious, elegant, meaningful and heartfelt. Minister Keith Gugliuzza understood what we wanted from the start and delivered. He was great to work with both before and during the wedding - what an awesome spirit and personality! We were so incredibly happy to have Keith be a part of our wedding. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way!

Keith was incredible, plain & simple. From our initial conversation & first meeting all the way through our wedding ceremony, we couldn't have been happier with Keith's performance, his positive energy and his comforting approach. He asked plenty of questions & suggested we be as open as possible to embrace/share our true thoughts and feelings, so he could capture our story & our love for each other, for all to know at our wedding. Thank You, Keith, for making our wedding day truly memorable!

What can I say about Keith other than he is one of the greatest guys I know! I was referred to Keith my another bride, and from the minute we sat down to talk to Keith we knew he would be the perfect person to marry us! He did a great job with the ceremony... our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was! I highly recommend Keith to future brides... he's truly gifted!

I can not say enough great things about Keith. From our first phone conversation I was convinced he understood exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. Any expectations I might have had prior to our wedding were completely exceeded! Our ceremony was perfect! The personalization made it so special and we've already had several people tell us how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how great our officiant was. Would 100% recommend, easy to work with, prompt with all responses and extremely efficient. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

Keith did a wonderful job performing our ceremony, we could not have been happier! He was professional, on time, kind, warm, and sincere...the type of person you want to perform your cermeony. I highly recommend his services.

Keith not only married me this past Sept 4 2011, he also married my brother last March 2010. I was please with Keith patience and understanding as I probably called him 4 times on the same subject. My husband and I wanted a modern ceremony and also to read our own VOWS, Keith was more than accommodating to our needs. He sent us suggestions and a final copy of what he would be reading. I had a wonderful experience with Keith and recommend him to any bride! - Tannia & Manny

I cannot say enough good things about Keith!!! about a year ago when I started this planning process I found him on LIweddings. I read nothing but great reviews on him, so I contacted him immediately. In the past year, I only contacted Keith through phone conversations and emails. I was so confident he was the perfect person to marry my husband and I that I did not feel it was necessary to even meet Keith always responded right away if I had any questions. I have to say, my friends and family thought the ceremony was so beautiful and personal that they though Keith was a family friend. They said he was so genuine and heartfelt in everything he said, and the ceremony was definitely one to remember.! I am positive that our guests and my husband and I will never forget how beautiful that ceremony was because of Keith!! I highly recommend Keith to anyone who wants a lighthearted, genuine and personalized ceremony! He was 100% the right choice for our day!! Kelly LoVerdi

Keith made us feel so relax & comfortable. He was the perfect person to marry us. I couldnt ask for a better person to make our wedding day complete.
