Father Shaun is AMAZING!!

Father Shaun was an incredible officiant that made our ceremony so personal and special. We got an immense amount of compliments from guests following the ceremony. He was great through the whole process with quick responses to emails and questions, made our pre-wedding meeting so much fun, and really got to know us as a couple. We could not recommend him more!

Great Custom Ceremony

Fr. Shaun was great to work with and talk to, he worked with us to design a ceremony which included different elements both religious and secular. He was easy to communicate with and we had a great conversation during our prep session. He made our wedding day special to say the least!
