We absolutely loved working with Father Testa. Since my family is Catholic and my husband and I are not, we wanted to come to a fair compromise so that they felt religion was present in our ceremony but we didn't feel overwhelmed with it. Father Testa was so friendly and open to making our ceremony exactly what we wanted- down to the word. He provided us with a general outline to how the ceremony would be structured and let us put whatever we wanted in the different sections (or omit certain sections entirely). Also, his presence is so calm and gentle; it really helps keep the nerves down when you're standing at the alter!

Fr. Anthony Testa performed our ceremonie on 10/4/14. We chose a married catholic priest so that we could have the religious ceremonie experience on the grounds of our Venue, The English Manor. Since we live in NY and got married in NJ, we did not have the opportunity to meet with Fr Testa prior. However, Fr Testa was very accommodating and we had several telephone conferences. He is truely an amazing Officiant! He was patient and kind, and very professional. He called to remind me about the marriage license and rules for NJ - Ocean Township. The day of the wedding, he performed the most memorable ceremonie for us! Thank you Fr. Testa for making our day special. I would highly recommend Fr. Testa to anyone!!

We chose Reverend Testa as our wedding Officiant after hearing great things about him from a colleague at my husband’s work. We met with him in person at his home and he was very welcoming. He was easy to talk to and very much about making it a special day for us. He went over everything with us including how to change my last name, wedding license, etc. There was also a follow up call leading to the wedding to check in to see how we were doing. He was great the day of the wedding and explained how the ceremony would go and made us feel very comfortable at the altar. He was very well spoken during the ceremony and the guests said it was a beautiful ceremony. Reverend Testa did a great job and made our wedding day very special by adding a few personable touches including a beautiful certificate that we can frame as well as handwriting a special letter when he mailed us our marriage license.

Father Anthony Testa was our wedding officiant and he was wonderful! He was very thorough; organized and continuously explained the process to me as well as the steps i need to take after i get married (marriage license, changing my name). On the day of the wedding, he was prompt and went over the details again with myself and my witnesses and provided a nice certificate for us that we can frame and hang up. What was also really touching is that when he mailed our copies of our license, he included a hand-written letter along with a prayer card, which was very touching and thoughtful.
I would highly recommend Father Anthony Testa to be your wedding officiant.
