It was such a pleasure having Reverend Chiaradonna as our wedding officiant. He is the sweetest guy and I felt like he truly enjoyed helping us to create the perfect ceremony for us. He was helpful with making suggestions for us when asked and he performed the ceremony beautifully. I got so many compliments on how lovely and personalized the ceremony was and all 4 of our parents had tears in their eyes!

From the moment we met Ernie we knew he was the one to marry us. Our wedding was not an average run of the mill ceremony, we had a Scottish wedding and included our 3 sons , we had many personal touches that Ernie took a hold of with great proffessionalism and joy. Evereyone could see his honest and unique touch to our ceremony. Ernie was right on with his communication, helping us understand when we had questions and "creating" our individualized ceremony. Together we worked well, We were fortunate to have found and honored to have had Reverend Ernest Chiaradonna for our special day...... "Ernie, we will forever remember you in our minds as well as in our hearts."

Reverend Ernie did a fantastic job as our officiant! Even though we were halfway across the country, he still was able to work with us very well on a ceremony that was uniquely our own (this costs a bit more, but is worth every penny to us!) He was at the rehearsal and wedding on-time and dressed for the occasion. Despite having many brides to take care of, he always make me feel like he cared and that our wedding was important to him. I admit, we went a bit over budget to get his best package instead of the lower one, but he does have varying price points so don't let that daunt you from contacting him. I am recommending him to any and all future brides and grooms in New England!

Thank you Rev. Ernie so very much for all your help and guidance in creating such a perfect and unique wedding ceremony! Our two religions were represented and explained throughout our ceremony beautifully. You were absolutely fantastic and we are so blessed to have had you as our Reverend. Thank you for all your professionalism and enthusiasm in making our day so truly special!! -Marc & Amy

Reverend Ernie was recommended to us by our chapel coordinator, whose daughter was already working with Rev. Ernie for her upcoming wedding. We had been searching for a flexible non-denominational officiant. When we followed up on the recommendation, we discovered that Reverend Ernie would be a perfect fit for us. Such a cheerful, kind, and professional man, we became comfortable working with Ernie on creating our own ceremony right from the start. Rev. Ernie is so flexible and accommodating; he made the process easy and was helpful in making our ceremony very special. Several people approached us after the ceremony, commenting on how personal and loving the whole ceremony was. Thanks Rev. Ernie for your help in making it a day we will never forget.

Working with Rev Ernie was truly one of the easiest and best decisions we made while planning our wedding. He was a joy to work with, we really felt like he had an interest in creating the perfect ceremony for us. Coming from catholic backgrounds it was important to have elements from our faith but it was also important to have a balance with a more contemporary feel. We truly believe that our ceremony was one of a kind, our vows were created for us and the entire ceremony was based around our personalities and relationship. Ernie also did our rehearsal which was a god send! He was able to organize a large group (a bridal party of 13!) and have a smooth rehersal so that we all felt great going into the wedding day without a stress that something might go wrong. I highly reccomend having Ernie also work with you on your rehearsal as it made our lives so much easier! We couldn't ask for a better wedding day, everything was perfect. Our ceremony was everything we dreamed of and for that a big thanks to Rev Ernie.

I would HIGHLY reccomend using Reverand Ernie for you upcoming wedding if you want to customize your ceremony and work with a true professional!

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Rev Ernie. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, not a dry eye in the place, and all the planning before that was made easy and stress free by his thoughtfulness, prompt responses to emails, and ability to think of just about everything. This is extremely appreciated from a bride that is trying to remember too many things! We talked to many officiants, but I honestly do not think you will find another one like this. Our family and friends can't stop talking about the ceremony and how wonderful it was! The salt ceremony is unique and beautiful!!

Rev. Ernie (Ernest) Chiaradonna is by far the best officiant you are going to find in the northern New England area. My husband and I had almost two years of engagement to search for the perfect photographer, videographer, dj, etc. We knew our wedding day was going to be the most important day of our lives to date, and we wanted to make sure that the person standing up there to join us was somebody who we not only felt comfortable with, but who understood who we are as well. He is professional, punctual, and most importantly, creative. He provided us with a range of options for our ceremony, and customized it to fit us, the occasion, and our audience, perfectly.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about him and what he did for us on our wedding day! Thank you for everything you did for us before and during our special day!

Our wedding would not have been as personal and special as it was if we had selected anyone other than Reverend Ernie. He was always willing to answer any questions related to order of events and planning, name changes, ideas for vows. He understood and respected what Tim and I wanted for our wedding ceremony and was willing to write and re-write if necessary. Of course he did such an amazing job that no re-write was necessary. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

To all brides looking for a personal ceremony and do not want your guests to feel like they are going to "just another wedding", Reverend Ernie can make your guests feel honored to be there for you, and can make everyone laugh, cry, and take part in your special day. I cannot imagine our day without him.

I am so happy that we choose Rev. Ernie to be our wedding officiant. Throughout the planning process Rev. Ernie always took the time to answer our questions and to listen to our suggestions so that our ceremony would be exactly how we wanted it. I cannot thank Rev. Ernie enough for the time he took to get to know us and to make our wedding ceremony so personal. Our ceremony was truly amazing and even better than we expected, we could not be happier. We heard so many wonderful things from our wedding guests about our ceremony. Many of them were so touched at how personal it had been and how the ceremony had really given them a glimpse into our relationship. If you are looking for a kind, reliable and professional wedding officiant who will create a meaningful, custom ceremony we would definitely recommend Rev. Ernie.

We had a beautiful wedding ceremony thanks to Reverend Chiaradonna. He did everything possible to make our day special. We were very lucky to have found him.

Rev. Ernie exceeded our expectations. Our ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. He created it especially for us. He made it personal and something that my husband and I and all of our guests will remember. Over the last year emailing Rev. Ernie lots and lots of times he got to know each of us in good times and in sad times. During this process, we lost a dear friend who was in the bridal party. Rev. Ernie incooperated him and his spirit into our ceremony and it was extremley touching. Days before our wedding my grandmother ended up in the hospital. We were unsure if she was going to make it to the wedding. Rev. Ernie offered to go to the hospital and doing a ceremony prior to the one at the hotel. He had my husband and I think long and hard about this because essentially my Nana may pass on right after the ceremony. She is 91 years old and kept saying she was holding on for my wedding. We agreed to the seperate ceremony. Three hours to our wedding as my husband and I were getting ready to go to the hospital, I get the phone call. My nana was discharged and getting ready to go to the wedding. She made it to my wedding and it was the most precious gift ever to be able to have her witness my day. I thank Rev. Ernie for helping me through this process so much. It was such a difficult time for me and my family. I was literally in tears at my rehersal because I was so stressed and unsure what to do. He helped me through the process and I thought long and hard about my decision before telling him. We are so happy to have him as our Reverend for our wedding. He made is personal and went over and beyond both my husband and my expectations. We can not thank him enough.

Rev. Ernie officiated our wedding a little over 2 months ago and we are still getting compliments from family and friends! He created a beautiful custom ceremony for us and we will remember it for the rest of our lives. He was patient, kind, and full of wonderful ideas! I can honestly say that our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we are so grateful to Rev. Ernie for creating a ceremony that really captured our love for one another. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! Rev. Ernie is the best!!

We got married on May 22, 2010 and absolutely LOVED Reverend Ernie!! He was so easy to work with. Ernie always had ideas, extra information, and a willingness to do anything we needed to make sure our ceremony was the best it could be. We received so many comments and compliaments about how wonderful the wording was and how pleasant Ernie was. We HIGHLY recommend Reverend Ernie!!!

We were nothing less than completely thrilled with Rev. Ernie's work on our wedding
day. The sheer amount of positively glowing feedback we got from our
guests regarding the ceremony goes to show that he is a true
professional, and someone who really put a lot of thought and care
into preparing our ceremony. Rev. Ernie, easily and quickly accommodated all of our requests and went the extra mile before and during the ceremony.

In the words of one of our guests, amongst dozens of glowing praise:

"Best. Ceremony. Ever."

We know that other couples in the future will go on to have ceremonies just as amazing as ours was, with Rev. Ernie on their side.
