My husband is Buddhist and I was raised Roman Catholic so finding someone to officiate our ceremony including my Catholic faith was going to be hard. My neighbor recommended I call Father Anthony Testa and I am so glad we did. From our first meeting he made us feel so at ease. He was open to our traditional/non-traditional ceremony and let us customize the readings and prayers to our specific needs. My family was blown away with how beautiful our ceremony was! And he calmly walked us through the application of our marriage license and filed it for us! For anyone looking to include religion into their ceremony that will be outside of a church, I highly recommend Father Anthony!

Father Testa is wonderful! During our initial meeting, he spent a lot of time with us and walked us through the whole ceremony. He sent us a beautiful certificate and truly made our day so very special!

Couldn't have asked for a better officiant! This man is so wonderful & a true man of God. He made our special day so perfect!

I'm happy to have found this review site for father testa because we'd like to show our gratitude any way we can, we were not asked to do this!

Father testa is a true saint living a life in service to god and to others and provided a beautiful and incredibly smooth ceremony. He provided such great guidance on the license process and especially the structure of the ceremony. His homily was very nice and well received.

Thanks to allaire state park for recommending him!

Father (Reverend) Testa was perfect! He is a retired catholic priest which was perfect for me since I am catholic but my husband is not religious so he did not want to get married in a church. I made me feel comfortable knowing I could still be married by a priest. He was professional and helpful. He would call and confirm or update me with things frequently which was helpful. He did an excellent job during the ceremony. It was perfect. He was very informative, professional and calming.

Father Testa was recommended to us by The American Hotel. We met with him at his house in Lincroft and knew he would be perfect as our officiant. He is soft spoken, warm, and punctual. He called us before our wedding to see how we were doing and to make sure we received our marriage license. He arrived very early before the ceremony too to get everything organized. Our ceremony was beautiful and were are very thankful that we found him.

Also, he is very reasonably priced compared to other ministers that I had called. He charged us $350 for everything compared to others who wanted to charge us closer to $600. You should definitely call at least 10 months in advance.

Father Testa was the perfect officiant. My family really wanted us to get married in a Catholic church, but we really wanted to get married outside at the Molly Pitcher Inn. Once I brought my mom to meet Father Testa, she was completely happy with having the ceremony on site. He is the sweetest and holiest man. He really took the time to talk with us about our ceremony. He also picked up our marriage license for us since we were from out of state. He was so calm and friendly when he arrived on our wedding day. Our reader said that he put her at ease and our guests had great things to say about the ceremony. Our ceremony was perfect!

Father Testa was wonderful! He came recommended through our venue, Clarks Landing. He was extremely responsive and helped us to create a perfect, intimate ceremony. We were both raised Catholic and we wanted our faith to be integrated into our waterfront sunset ceremony. Father Testa ensured everything was seamless.

If you are a Roman Catholic and ""Father Anthonhy" as he calls himself, is officiant at your wedding. You are NOT MARRIED IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. NO MATTER WHAT THE CEREMONY HAS IT IS NOT A CATHOLIC CEREMONY AND IS NOT SACRAMENTAL. SOME OF US WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF LACK OF FORM OR ANNULMENT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THIS MAN HAS NO RIGHT OR APPROVAL FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO DO THE THINGS HE IS DOING AND CALLING HIMSELF A PRIEST. HE IS A PRIEST OF HIS OWN PERSONAL RELIGION NOT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. WHAT HE DID TO US IS HURTFUL. HE SURE FOOLED US.
