Great experience
Truly a kind and thoughtful man, we couldn't have picked a better officiant to marry us! All of our guests (and especially my now husband and I) really enjoyed the ceremony, and even our non catholic guests had positive things to say about him. Would recommend without reservation :)

Father Anthony Lipari married us on 9/8/18. We met with him once upon booking and he provided some words of wisdom that truly stuck with us during all the planning. When we saw him again the day of the ceremony, he was warm and welcoming. It was as if we knew him forever. He had the nicest things to say during our ceremony and he made all of our family and friends feel included! Honestly, he made our wedding ceremony better than we could have ever imagined and we still have people talking about how great he was! We're so thankful to have met and worked with Fr. Anthony and would recommend him to everyone!

Great experience!
My husband and I were thrilled with Father Anthony. We found Father Anthony through a wedding website, just to find out he was an approved vendor at our wedding venue - it was fate!
Prior to the wedding, Father Anthony took the time to get to know my husband and I through Facetimes and phone calls (we're not local). He learned our story and got a better understanding of how we wanted our ceremony to be. He even taught us how to properly sign up for our marriage license (and make sure it's filed afterward!). When we had to reschedule due to Covid, he was flexible and worked with our timeline so he could still be part of our special day.
On the day of our wedding, he was early so he could help with the rehearsal which we appreciated. Our ceremony was beautiful. It was the perfect mix of religion that I wanted, with lightheartedness and fun like my husband wanted. Our guests loved it, as did we (if you couldn't tell!). I would definitely recommend booking Father Anthony!

If you value Cinematography on your Wedding stay away from Father Anthony Lipari.
We filmed a very nice Wedding at Clark's Landing last June that Fr. Anthony Lipari was the Officiant of. He refused to wear our microphone to ensure our sweet couple had the quality audio they paid for so they could relive their Wedding day. In fact, he gave us a few different conflicting answers as to why he couldn't wear it leading me to believe he lied and just didn't want to as an inconvenience to himself.
Okay. We are professionals and can work around this. I suggest we compromise and use the handheld microphone the DJ supplied. He agreed. He ended up only using it for the vows. During the ring exchange he changed the plan and did not use it. Nor did he use it during the Homily. Out of the entire Ceremony the only audio salvageable for our Couple is their vows (thankfully we have that at least..)
I should also mention that during the processional he yanked the basket out of the flower Girl's hands and made her and her Mother (a Bridesmaid) cry the entire Ceremony. He left without apology.
Our professional advice: Hire Vendors who truly understand the day is about the Couple and only the couple. There are so many Companies coming together and team work from everyone is vital for the best day possible. Father Anthony Lipari does not follow accordingly. Stay away, especially if you value having quality video to relive your Wedding day.
