Rev Will officiated our wedding at Oheka Castle, Long Island on August 20th and did a fabulous job. My husband and I met him at a local coffee shop and loved his laid back personality. He was always very responsive to my e-mails and arrived on time to our wedding. Our ceremony was classic and sweet, exactly what we wanted. I would definitely recommend Rev.

Love Reverend Will! After our consultation we knew we had to choose him to officiate our wedding. Everyone commented on how perfect our ceremony was. Reverend Will works with you to customize the ceremony to your needs, and it was exactly what we wanted--not overly religious, but having our personal story come through, and feeling true to us. Thank you Rev Will for making that happen!

My husband and I are honored to have had Rev. Will marry us in a civil ceremony last weekend. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful our ceremony was and we owe a big part of that to how Rev. Will officiated it! From the very beginning, he was so helpful and met us in person to explain in detail for us how the timeline would go. He suggested we do a "Bowl of Blessings" ceremony as part of our overall wedding ceremony, and it was incredibly creative and cute! He has such a warm yet commanding presence and a gorgeous speaking voice that comes off as soothing and strong, it was a pleasure to just listen to him speak during our ceremony. We were very glad to have chosen to work with him and we wish him all the best!

We got married at the Central Park Boathouse on a beautiful day this June and Rev. Will got the day started as our officiant.

We were looking for a non-religious ceremony that captured our love for each other and that didn't linger on for an hour - we wanted to get to the partying as fast as possible. Rev. Will made that happen - he worked with us to customize our vows and really made the day special - in under 25 minutes!

My husband and I wrote our own vows and Rev Will was willing to read them both ahead of time and make sure our tones and lengths matched so one of us didn't outshine the other.

He was in contact with us the whole time leading up and even dealt with our bridal party showing up late from taking pictures with only 3 minutes to spare for a rehearsal - but he made it happen and everyone can't stop telling us how beautiful the ceremony was.

Rev. Will was great! He quickly responded to our inquiry, met with us to discuss our wedding and get to know us as a couple. He quickly responded to our email questions and was a great person to have celebrate our wedding ceremony. Our ceremony was short, sweet and personal! We highly recommend him!

My husband and I received so many compliments on how beautiful our wedding ceremony was - and it was all due to Rev. Will! From the start, Rev. Will was super responsive and when we met in person I was so happy that he truly seemed interested in getting to know us as a couple. He walked us through the whole processional and made recommendations because we really didn't know much about how it was supposed to work. He was really patient and we didn't feel rushed, which was a breath of fresh air compared to some other vendors you meet. He sent our ceremony script (along with suggested readings) way ahead of time and worked with us to tweak parts of it. He also encouraged us to include a story about our relationship, which made it more personal. During the ceremony, he read beautifully (loud and clear) and offered great marriage advice. Overall, he was professional, kind and caring. I would absolutely recommend him for your wedding ceremony.

My husband and I got married just a little over a month ago at Crest Hollow Country Club and Rev. Will was our officiant. We heard about him through my brother and sister-in-law whose wedding he also officiated as well as doing my nephew's blessing. Reverend Will performed an amazing ceremony for us; one that fit both of our personalities and it just was the beginning to a wonderful day and the start of a beautiful marriage. Neither my husband or I are religious; however, we wanted to include our own traditions. Reverend Will was open to whatever we wanted and it was fun and didn't drag and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needed an officiant. Thank you Rev, Will!

From the very first meeting with Rev Will we knew he was the perfect officiant for our wedding. We had a lovely chat and were impressed with his professionalism. He provided guidance and together we came up with an outline for our ceremony that would please both my catholic parents and my husband's non-religious family. He sent us a detailed script almost immediately after signing the contract. He also gave us vendor recommendations and wedding planning advice. On the wedding day, he arrived early and provided us with beautiful Lenox unity candles. Despite delays, chaos and disorganization caused by lack of direction by the venue managers, Rev Will remained calm and put us all at ease. Once the ceremony began, all of the stress we were feeling earlier went away. It was a very beautiful ceremony and I received many compliments from our friends and family. I highly recommend Rev Will and can't thank him enough for making our wedding day so special.

Rev Will did such an amazing job on our ceremony. We live in Texas and found him online. Planning a wedding from another state can be stressful to say the least. However, Rev Will put our worries at ease. We were able to meet him a couple of months before, and he went above and beyond what was necessary. We thought we were just going to grab some coffee and discuss the details, but he spent over two hours with us showing us around Central Park helping us pick our perfect venue. If that wasn't enough, he brought us to several restaurants to give us suggestions for our reception dinner. It is without hesitation, that we recommend Rev Will. He will forever be apart of our special day! Thank you!
