Father Jonathan Gray

... married my husband Kyle and me in January. We cannot say enough wonderful things about him. He took the time to learn about us as a couple, and genuinely cared about how our ceremony was going to go. He’s very organized and had many options to choose from so that we could create our own wedding ceremony that fit our personalities, and even incoporate special readings that meant a lot to us. Our families and guests told us that it was the most heartfelt ceremony they had ever been to! Father Gray has many years of experience and advice that made our day so special. He did a wonderful job and everything went perfectly. We highly recommend choosing Father Gray as your wedding officiant!!!

He will typically meet with a couple several times prior to the wedding date in order to get to know them, and so that they can get to know him. During these meetings, discussions often include such things as how, where and when did the couple meet, what drew them together, what keeps them together, what are their goals for their future, what are their views on marriage, etc. It is also during these meetings that the couples discuss the type of ceremony they want; what readings they would like, who they would want to do the readings, if they would like to write their own vows and other 'tweaks' to the ceremony to make it as personalized and meaningful as possible.

Father Jonathan is the BEST.

Father Jonathan was not only an INCREDIBLE officiant, but he is also such a wonderful, caring individual and I know he will remain an important part of our lives as time goes on. When Chris and I first met with Father Jonathan, we felt like we could have talked with him for hours. He was so warm and welcoming. We wanted an officiant who would take the time to get to know us, someone we would be comfortable with. Father Jonathan met with us several times for lunch or coffee. We didn’t always have an “agenda,” but conversations flowed so smoothly. He became someone we were always excited to see. The ceremony that Father Jonathan follows is beautiful, and he worked with us to ensure that it was everything we could have wanted. We selected one reading from the bible and one poem, we wrote our own vows - and Father Jonathan kindly read them over for us before the wedding day (to make sure Chris and I were on the same page in terms of format and length). He really made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. When we learned of having to postpone our wedding because of COVID, Father Jonathan was flexible and accommodating as we worked to select a new date. Come wedding day, Father Jonathan was the star of the show! He provided us with such a beautiful ceremony, all of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how awesome he was. I am forever grateful to him and SO happy that we found him.

The Best Officiant

Father Jon was easily the best officiant we could have dreamed to hire for our wedding. Our dream scenario was to be married in our venue of choice but with a Catholic Priest and Father Jon was able to accommodate that for us with such ease. Our pre-marital meetings were so wonderful and we really were able to connect with him on such a deep level. The day of our wedding was so incredible and our ceremony was exactly what we wanted with a few readings, our own vows, and a lovely homely from Father. Hi simply the best.
