    Absolutely perfect!

    We had the most amazing ceremony because Ernie took the time to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. He had great ideas and suggestions , but also gave us the flexibility to make it our own. Everyone was talking about how special our ceremony was. THANK YOU! :)

    Pleasure to work with!

    I came across Rev. Ernest when i was looking for a NH wedding officiant and so glad i did. From the first meeting, i knew i wanted to hire him. He was able to blend the perfect ceremony for us. I wanted a little religious and my now husband wanted a non-religious ceremony. . He was able to meet both our needs and i LOVED our ceremony. Communication and planning was a breeze and it was nice knowing what was going to be said for the ceremony. He is just a genuinely nice guy who takes pride in providing great ceremonies. i would HIGHLY recommend Rev. Ernest if you are looking for a wedding officiant.

    Ceremony with Rev. Ernie

    We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Rev. Ernie. He provided us with such a beautiful ceremony and gave us many words that we’ll cherish forever. He allowed us to customize the ceremony of our dreams, while providing guidance along the way. He was very organized and punctual which helped us stay on track along the way. Highly recommend Rev. Ernie and his services!

    Rev. Ernie was a wonderful choice for our officiant! We were told by all of our guests what a personal and beautiful ceremony we had. The package we got included a “love story” which really added a very personal touch to our ceremony. Rev. Ernie was very responsive via email and was able to answer all of our questions. We would definitely recommend Rev. Ernie!

    Amazing experience

    Reverend Ernie helped guide us through an already overwhelming time. Thanks to his guidance we had a beautiful, creative, personalized ceremony. He was incredibly easy to work with and very understanding when we had questions and concerns. We would recommend Reverend Ernie to anyone looking for an amazing heartfelt ceremony.

    Reverend Ernie was a FANTASTIC officiant for our wedding in New Hampshire last weekend. He met with us personally, always checked an confirmed details and information before finalizing, and replied promptly and helpfully to all emails and correspondence. In short, Reverend Ernie is reliable and conscientious professional -- and we recommend him fully and without reservation. He made the whole process (especially in the final weeks before our big day) easy and seamless.

    Hiring Reverend Ernie was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding process.

    Sincerely,
    The Dohertys

    Reverend Ernie was hands down an absolutely phenomenal choice as for our officiant on our wedding day this past April 2018. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had the most personally crafted and meaningful ceremony as possible, and my husband and I can't thank him enough. The ceremony was so important to us, and he took as much care in helping us craft ours, as if it were his own! Not only did Reverend Ernie offer wonderful suggestions, but he also took the time to review both of our vows, which we found extremely helpful. Throughout the process, he promptly answered any questions or concerns that came up for us during the process, and had an awesome personality, which really made our entire experience working with him better than we could have imagined. We are so thankful to Reverend Ernie for being a part of our big day. Our ceremony was even better than we could have dreamt of, and we still have guests commenting on how beautiful it was months later. Thank you, Reverend Ernie! We are so thankful!

    Rev. Ernie is the perfect wedding officiant. He is responsive, caring, meticulous and passionate about performing ceremonies. He is a true professional who takes care of every detail of the ceremony which allowed us to feel happy and confident while standing in front of family and friends reciting our vows together.

    We used Ernie for officiant services for a wedding ceremony in September 2017. Ernie was an absolute pleasure to work with and probably our favorite wedding vendor. He was very flexible in allowing us to construct the ceremony we envisioned- a Christian service with a hint of Catholicism and some ability to customize the script. He is extremely organized and a very good communicator. He provided us multiple suggestions and ideas along with templates for vows and readings. The rehearsal, despite certain wedding party members being tardy, went incredibly smoothly with him leading the helm. As a speaker, Ernie is very presentable and composed, which I think this is critical, especially where video use has become ubiquitous in the wedding industry.

    Rev. Ernie officiated our August 5th wedding and we couldn't be happier with the ceremony. From the beginning he was so easy to work with. He is kind, very responsive to email and I never doubted that we were in good hands. The ceremony was perfect and felt personal to us. I would highly recommend Rev. Ernie to any couple looking for the perfect officiant for their special day!

    So thankful to have been introduced to Rev. Ernie through friends of ours who he also married. He makes planning the ceremony extremely easy while also making it completely personalized. Our mothers were over joyed by rose ceremony he suggested, and he guided my husband and I in making the perfect vows to each other. I'd highly recommend him to anyone planning their big day. Thank you so much Rev. Ernie!!!

    We are very happy that Ernie was our wedding officiant. From the first meeting to the wedding day, Ernie did a great job to explain the options for the ceremony and work with us the wedding program. Our wedding ceremony was so special that guests mentioned to me at the reception how great they thought Ernie did. There were a lot of happy tears- I would highly recommend Ernie to be your wedding officiant.

    We are so happy we went with Reverend Ernie, he made our day absolutely perfect. I was raised Catholic and Ernie was able to incorporate many Catholic traditions into our outdoor ceremony, making it incredibly special. He made the entire process so easy right from the beginning, and eased all of our worries. He was friendly and got to know us really well, and I am truly blessed we found him! Highly rated!

    Rev. Ernie was such a pleasure to work with and so easy to work with making one of the biggest parts of our wedding the easiest part to plan and coordinate. We ended up with the complete personal package of a ceremony and side ceremony as well as incorporating my wife's daughter. Each part we talked about with Ernie and sent suggestions back and forth and in the end we think we nailed it. Everyone loved our ceremony and most importantly we did too.

    Rev. Ernie had to think quick on his feet at the weather was NOT cooperating that day. We lost our drone guy who was also our video guy and Ceremony sound guy. Rev. Ernie took it all in stride and made sure to keep us talking loud enough to try and get people to hear us. His added little touches with our love notes, our vows, our daughter's love note etc were just awesome!

    We HIGHLY recommend Ernie especially if you want to make it YOUR ceremony with the help of someone who absolutely LOVES what they do.

    We cannot say enough about how amazing our experience was with Reverend Ernie. From the beginning to the end he provided the attention, care, and guidance required to plan the perfect ceremony. He makes things easy by providing templates, but you can customize as much as you would like and he will continue to refine to your preferences until you are 100% happy. But beyond the ceremony planning, Rev. Ernie is an amazing person and it was a pleasure meeting and getting to know him through the process. I would recommend him to anyone, your expectations will be far exceeded and your ceremony will be perfect!

    Rev. Ernie was the best! He was always extremely responsive and provided guidance throughout the whole process of planning out our ceremony. We had guests coming up to us saying how much they loved him! They were surprised to hear that we had found Rev. Ernie by searching online as they thought we had known him for years. That's how Rev. Ernie is -- he treats you like he's known you for a long time even when you first meet him, which is what makes your ceremony truly special. We couldn't have imagined a better officiant for our wedding day!

    Reverent Ernest Chiaradonna surpassed all of our expectations and we are so very thankful that we chose him as our officiant. He was very helpful with answering all of our questions, which took a lot of stress off of our plate. He was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. He truly cares about getting to know us and making sure that the ceremony was exactly the way we wanted it. His wedding ceremony format is excellent and allowed us to customize it in a way that fit both of us. My husband is Catholic and I consider myself to be spiritual and we were able to create our ceremony that pleased both us and our families. His constant smile and overall kind presence made us feel so comfortable during the ceremony. All of our guests could not stop complimenting on how much they enjoyed our ceremony and how sweet and amazing Rev. Ernie is. Everyone could tell how much he enjoys what he does. Choosing Rev. Ernie was one of the best decisions we made and we could not be happier that our unforgettable ceremony will be something that our guests, my husband and I will cherish forever. We highly recommend his services to anyone.
