From Professional Wedding & Event Planner

"Engaging Lyle E Style - Marriage Commissioner was a positive experience indeed. Lyle was at all times professional, clear and concise in his requirements and met all my requests. As a professional entertainer Lyle is comfortable at a podium and in front of large gatherings. The ceremony was written by him (to the delight of the groom) and covered all that was required. He does too have a wry sense of humour which the bridal coupe certainly enjoyed. I only engage and work with the best in their individual professions." - NJ ProductionsPlus
