All of my guests continued to rave about Fr Jim the entire night of my wedding! From the youngest guests to our grandmothers, everyone loved Fr Jim. After meeting with Fr Jim we felt like we had known him forever. He makes you feel very comfortable as you exchange family stories and tell him about yourself and your finance. By the time we had our ceremony we really felt so comfortable and felt that we had made the right choice. We wanted an officiant that would be personal and we also wanted religion to be part of our ceremony. My own Lutheran pastor was on a trip that week and my finance was never confirmed Catholic. Fr Jim made us feel so welcome and created such a natural feel to our ceremony. Our guests thought that we had known him for years! After returning from our honeymoon we still hear our guests raving about what a beautiful ceremony we had!

Father Jim is the best! Don't hesitate a second to contact him. We had so many guests tell us how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Father Jim is kind, professional and easy to work with. Like many others mentioned, you get a feeling like you've known him forever. His message was very powerful, yet delivered with a humorous touch to it. Everyone loved it! Father Jim truly made our wedding special. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Father Jim is simply the best. He took the time to get to know the bride and groom. He added the right amount of humor and kept the ceremony interesting and kept the crowd engaged while making it very meaningful. It was a great balance.
