Amazing Wedding Officiant

We chose Fr. Douglas of HOPE Ministries for our wedding officiant and could not have found a better fit for our wedding day. We had multiple conversations for months leading up to our big day about our relationship, religious views, plans for the future, and also what we wanted for our ceremony. We had an interfaith ceremony and he was able to incorporate traditions of both the Jewish and Catholic faiths seamlessly which was something that was very important to the both of us. We felt that we made a very strong bond with "Father Doug" and now consider him to be a friend. We would highly recommend HOPE for any of your wedding needs.

Great Ceremony and Lots of Laughs

Rev Doug pulled a whole ceremony together for us at very short notice. We had found him late in the game about 3 weeks before the big day, but he was able to put together a great ceremony that made us laugh, cry and showed all the love. He was also able to include our hand fasting ritual. Great Job!!!
