A highlight for the ceremony and rehearsal

I was initially skeptical of whether or not we needed to do a rehearsal for the wedding but Father John made it all worth it. He was the highlight of the rehearsal and was shared valuable insights and tips for what we should do. His humor was amazing and helped us relax during moments of high stress. For the actual ceremony, he shared a booklet of pre-packaged readings, vows, blessings and unity ceremonies that we could pick from. From start to finish the entire process was super simple and enjoyable. Would recommend Father John 10/10!!

Perfect Priest

Father John was phenomenal in helping us through this whole process. He answered all questions we had throughout the entire process. We met casually and he wanted to make sure we were comfortable in our decision before moving forward with choosing him to marry us.

He arrived at our venue early so we could go through all the formalities and he kept the ceremony short and sweet. We did the readings that were special to us, and he introduced us to the "Wine Box Ceremony" which both us, and all of our guests loved. They've never seen it before and thought it was something so special and different.

Father John is so personable and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get married by a Catholic Priest.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
