The BEST!!!!!

Fr. Stephen Ryan-Vuotto was the best choice that my now husband and I could’ve made. From the moment we chose him, he was in contact with us and super accommodating with our hectic schedules.

The day of the wedding, he officiated to most lovely ceremony we could’ve asked for. I still have people calling and telling me that it was one of the most beautiful ceremony’s that they’ve ever been a part of. We are truly grateful for him !

Joyful & Reverent Professional

Immediately upon connecting with Father Stephen Ryan, my husband Mike and I knew he was the perfect officiant for our wedding. He was friendly & put us at ease right away. We were raised Catholic and wanted to incorporate our family traditions and beliefs into our ceremony, and Fr Ryan was accommodating enough to travel to Long Island to preside over our union at the venue. We were totally delighted with his experience and professionalism, and importantly, he brought the perfect balance of gravitas and joy to the sacrament. We cannot thank him enough!
