Father Jef is simply the best. We instantly liked him when we met to discuss obtaining his services for our wedding. He is so warm, easy to talk to, and engaging, and after our wedding I can confidently say that he loves what he does and is truly talented at it. He gave the perfect ceremony I could have envisioned for a couple wanting religious elements (one of us was raised Catholic, and we are between churches right now) and also wanting a very personal ceremony. He captured us and our relationship so perfectly, that some of the speech-givers at our reception commented they didn't have anything to add as he covered it all - ha! So glad we hired Father Jef to officiate our marriage.

If you are getting married and looking for an officiant, look no further than Fr Jef! The minute my now husband and I met him, we clicked with him and I knew he would make our ceremony special. We got married last weekend and I couldn’t be happier with how the day went. He was such a pleasure to work with the entire time leading up to the big day, even as we had to postpone our original date due to COVID-19. During the ceremony, Fr Jef spoke to the audience (and our Zoom guests) on a personal level by incorporating special moments of our relationship. Guests even commented that it seemed like we’d known him for years. Thank you Fr Jef for helping to make our wedding day so memorable!

My sister found Fr. Jef for her wedding (June 30, 2018), and my husband and I are SO glad we used him for our wedding as well (November 9, 2018)! My husband and I met with Fr. Jef once to discuss the services he offered, and to learn a bit about each other. He then sent us a few options for ceremony outlines, including examples of typical readings we could incorporate, but encouraged us to personalize it as much as we wanted. We chose a non-traditional reading and asked him to add in a hand ceremony, all of which he happily did. He had also sent us a list of questions that we had to answer about each other, and incorporated our answers into one of the most personalized ceremonies I have been to. Would definitely recommend him to everyone!
