A Wonderful Ceremony

Fr. Noel Clarke was such a wonderful officiant at our March 2020 wedding! We were able to meet with him before the wedding, where he spent the time to get to know us as a couple and even took notes of the way we were together. When it came to the day of our wedding, he gave the most beautiful service with the perfect blend of spirituality and modernity, and with anecdotes of us mixed in. With a touch of dry humor and genuine goodwill, he was the perfect officiant for us. He even ad-libbed a mention of our dog, who he did not even know was joining us! All of our guests loved him and the way he met with each one of them after the ceremony, and we were so fortunate to have met him!

Are you interested?

Highly recommended

Father Noel gave us a wonderful ceremony. We chose to elope with just a few family members and wanted something very simple and short. He delivered a simple, but heartfelt ceremony with some Irish hues that was fitting for our low key style.

Amazing Ceremony

Father Noel did an amazing job officiating our ceremony! We wanted our ceremony to be meaningful and have some religious aspects but not be too overwhelming. He helped us come up with an outline that fit what we wanted perfectly. He brought the perfect blend of humor and seriousness to our ceremony. People were coming up to us throughout our reception saying how much they enjoyed the ceremony. I highly recommend him!

Amazing ceremony

Our original officiant cancelled on us 5 days before our wedding due to a family emergency and arranged for Fr. Noel to officiate our ceremony in his place. We were very nervous at first as we had been planning our ceremony for a year and wanted everything to be perfect. We Skyped with Fr. Noel and all of our worries washed away immediately. Our ceremony was amazing. He followed the ceremony guidelines we sent him and added his own humor and personalization which made our guest laugh and cry. He even incorporated our dog, Finnegan, into the ceremony (who he met during our skype chat) without us having to ask and we absolutely loved it. Everyone raved about how amazing the ceremony was. Fr. Noel is an amazing person and officiant and I highly recommend him.

A fantastic officiant!!

Father Noel was the best! Guests are still texting me to talk about what a lovely job he did on our ceremony. My husband and I were so happy to put ourselves in his very capable hands. He injected humor and lightness into our ceremony while also marrying (tee-hee) spirituality and gravitas. Thank you for a perfect ceremony!

The personalized ceremony we dreamed of!

We are so glad we hired Father Noel to officiate our ceremony. We were able to blend traditional, religious elements with our own personal, heartfelt words and the result was a tailor-made ceremony that encapsulated who we are as a couple. Father Noel sent us a variety of ceremony samples, as well as ceremony elements, that we could choose to incorporate if we wished. While we selected our ceremony readings and format, Father Noel injected his own personality into the ceremony which was well-received by those in attendance. Our guests have repeatedly complimented Father Noel as both heartfelt and hilarious, and they loved how our unique ceremony emphasized our individuality while paying homage to familiar tradition. We would definitely recommend him!

Father Noel is simply the best!

I am SO happy Father Noel was a part of our wedding day. From the beginning we knew he would be great because of his responsiveness and professionalism, but we really didn’t expect him to be as phenomenal as he was! He had our family both laughing and crying throughout the whole ceremony. He really knows how to captivate the audience and his message was so incredibly thoughtful. He allowed my husband and I to look through a ton of examples of previous ceremonies he’s officiated and we’d pick out pieces of each ceremony that we liked and basically customized our ceremony that way. He has wonderful ideas for some additional special moments such as a Mother’s last kiss, a rose ceremony, or a sand ceremony. He’s a great speaker and made My husband and I feel so at ease on our wedding day. We even had people reach out to us after the wedding to ask us for his contact information because they wanted to use him, too! I highly recommend having Father Noel officiate your wedding, he really is the best and will ensure your ceremony is absolutely perfect!
Thank you again!
With love,
Mary and Brendan Graziano

Amazing and comfortable experience

We are so happy we chose him as our officiant. Once we met him, my husband and I knew there was no other choice to make! From the first meeting to the day of the ceremony, it was a comfortable and flawless process. The ceremony was beautiful. It was everything we dreamed of and more.

Father Noel was simply fantastic from start to finish. We wanted a priest for our outdoor ceremony and wanted to include some religious elements, but didn't want it to feel like a mass either. From our first meeting with Father Noel, we knew he was the right choice. He welcomed us into his home where we chatted about how we met, our relationship and what we wanted our ceremony to feel like and be. He was always there for us throughout the process and answered any emails/questions very quickly. At our wedding, we did not have any time to rehearse, and Father Noel still carried out a flawless ceremony with no problem. Our guests are still complimenting us on what a beautiful ceremony and wonderful job Father Noel did. We could not be any happier with our experience!

Father Noel Clarke was so lovely to work with. We met once over a year out from our wedding, and only chatted a few times via email after that, but he asked us the important information to craft a ceremony that was perfect for us. He absolutely honors each individual couple and will tailor his ceremony to suit you. He performed a ceremony that was full of light and humor, and his warmth and kindness helped me to relax as the ceremony went on. Our guests were roaring with laughter at his well crafted, and well timed jokes. One of our guests heckled him for a second, but it was actually the perfect set up for one of his jokes. Our guests loved him and said how wonderful he was, and our families very much enjoyed speaking with him during cocktail hour. He really is a delightful vendor, really positive all around, and that quick wit just adds to his all-around charm.

My bride was nervous and wanted a priest who was gentle in his approach and non judgmental.
We interviewed a number of officiants and were blessed to meet Father Noel who was highly recommended to us.
He led us through the process in a relaxed manner , taking care to listen and respond, explaining all questions in a detailed manner.
On our wedding day we entered into the spirit of the ceremony and with our guests were relaxed and at ease.
Father Noel was reverential and sacred while at the same time he was down to earth and quite humorous which please us no end.
We recommend Father Noel with gusto and gladness.

Want a super officiant? Look no further than Fr. Noel.
As we both are nervous and fashionably giddy, Fr. Noel pulled of a superb ceremony. We were made to feel special and felt so relaxed. All enjoyed the ceremony style. Perfection. We are still feeling the vibe!

Peter and Fiona's nuptials were very sensitive due to her illness That you were able to be available for them, on such short notice, and really make the ceremony so unique and special to them was something truly unexpected and had such a wonderful impact on the special day. There are really no words that can be written to express how much it meant to them and their loved ones. Thank you so much for making something that has such important and special meaning happen and thank you for taking the time to make it so personal and warm..

God Bless,

We could not have been more pleased with Father Noel! My husband and I grew up Catholic, but decided to get married outside of the church. We met with Father Noel and instantly felt at ease with his calming demeanor and wonderful sense of humor. Over the next few months he helped us create our perfect ceremony. The day of our wedding he arrived early, and put us both at ease. All of our family members raved over him; he made us laugh, reflect, remember and included the perfect amount of prayer. You will be so happy to have Fr. Noel marry you!

As we planned a Christmas wedding, (Dec 23, 2017)we wanted a minister who would help us design our ceremony and allow us permission to adapt it to our satisfaction. We met with 4 Officiants and Fr. Noel was our choice.
He met all our expectations. He invited us to. enter the spirit of the ceremony and the festive season and enjoy the love of the moment.
We felt so,at ease and Fr. Noel was inspiring and supportive
I had a previous wedding ceremony and that was an ordeal!!!!
This was pure emotion and joy
Consider Fr Noel as your officiant and you will be well rewarded

We were married in New York's Central Park in June past Frere Noel was recommended to us by a friend whom he had married 3 years previous. He was gracious, considerate and so patient with us as we planned our ceremony from France The final wedding ceremony as so perfectly tailored to our demands- we love perfection. He was comical in a respectful way, allaying our stress while reverential to the ceremony content. We commend Fr. Noel with enthusiasm.

Fr. Noel Clarke performed an interfaith marriage with our Rabbi for us and they were great! The ceremony was light/fun hearted and seamlessly intertwined our Jewish and Catholic faiths. They personalized our ceremony and it was just so special and perfect.

It was a great pleasure to work with Fr. Noel Clarke. From our initial meeting with him we knew that he would be ale to help us curate the ceremony that my wife and I were looking for. Due to our different religious backgrounds he was able to blend together important aspects of both faiths into a ceremony that was truly enjoyable. It was the perfect balance of spiritual and contemporary with just enough humor to keep everyone in the audience involved. We highly recommend Fr. Noel to provide a unique experience who takes into consideration what your are looking for and certainly delivers it.

We chose Fr. Noel for our wedding this past August in Lake George, NY. Fr. Noel was gracious enough to come all the way to Lake George from Yonkers. We were never able to meet up with him in person but we were able to skype with him during the planning which was very helpful. We really liked how he helped us customize our wedding ceremony. He was able to send us examples and layouts which was very helpful when planning the ceremony. He did such a great job! It was very touching and heartfelt but also made everyone laugh. It was a great decision to choose Fr. Noel for our wedding and we would recommend him to anyone!

Father Noel was amazing, he was very responsive to all communications before the wedding day and on the wedding day he was there well before the ceremony. I can't even say what time he arrived since he got there before I did (at least 2 hours early). This helped put me at ease knowing the one marrying me to my bride was there. The ceremony was great, we wanted something spiritual and he definitely delivered on that, everyone attending enjoyed the ceremony. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing an officiant.

Father Clarke was a pleasure to work with. He was easy to communicate with, quick to respond and always professional. Our ceremony was perfect. Father Clarke made the ceremony traditional, fun, and personal. We have many photos of all of us laughing, smiling and truly enjoying ourselves. My husband and I were delighted to have him as our officiant. Many guests have expressed how much they enjoyed our ceremony and how memorable it was. We highly recommend Father Clarke as the officiant for your wedding day!

My (now) husband and I wanted to get married in Central Park, but we were from Florida. Fr.Noel arranged Skype meetings, discussed with us our wishes and desires. He made it happen. The ceremony was slightly delayed, but none the less he was patient, friendly and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect ceremony. Thank you Father!

We highly recommend Father Noel Clark to any couple who wants to have an outstanding ceremony that is thoughtful and respectful. In addition, Father Noel is very interested to get to know you, and to write a ceremony that is specific to your wishes and thoughts. He met with us for hours, to get to know us better before telling us about different types of ceremonies that are possible. We highly and enthusiastically recommend Father Clark.

I love Fr. Noel! I would highly recommend him to everyone! He is very friendly, accomodating, very easy to reach, super responsive with my emails and questions and very helpful in figuring out stuff for our wedding! It was truly a blessing to have found him! Everyone in our ceremony loved him as well. 100 stars is not enough to rate him. Thank you so much Fr.Noel. We wish you all the best!

Fr Noel did a outstanding job during our ceremony and exceeded our expectations. He was able to blend our Catholic and contemporary styles to form the perfect ceremony for us. He made himself always available during the process and was very accessible through skype or meeting him in person. We had many compliments from our guest and kept the ceremony light and funny with maintaining a spiritual concept. We definitely would recommend him to anyone!

Father Noel did a beautiful job officiating our wedding and was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our initial meeting through the followup discussions leading up to our wedding day, he did an amazing job - everything was perfect. It was clear to me, from our very first conversation, that he truly cared about what we wanted and also helped us along the way to incorporate items into our ceremony that we may not have otherwise thought of and helped us find the perfect mix of contemporary/traditional we were hoping for.

Many thanks to Father Noel!

We just got married on September 30,2016 and had the pleasure of having Father Noel as our Officiant. From day one, he was delightful to work with. He was always easy to get in touch with and always kind. He put our minds at ease during such a stressful time. When it came to our ceremony, it was absolutely beautiful with a touch of humor which was just perfect for us. He made it clear from the beginning that he would perform do any ceremony that we were comfortable with. We couldn't be more happy with Father Noel. Thank you Father Noel. You will forever be in our hearts for sharing in such a special day. Liza &Andrew 9/30/2016 Blue Hill at Stone Barns

Father Noel was an amazing officiant for our wedding and an absolute pleasure to work & correspond with. He walked us through the entire process with ease and stressed the importance of making the ceremony our own, which we ended up being extremely thankful for. He was always readily available to answer any questions we had and provided us with any guidance we needed during the process. While he is very professional, he was able to keep the ceremony light-hearted and fun (at our request) and many of our guests mentioned how much they liked it. Overall, if you are looking for an officiant to make your ceremony beautiful and unforgettable, Father Noel is a great choice!

Father Clarke is amazing. Our guests were extremely impressed with our ceremony. Although we only met with him once and exchanged several emails, he put together a very personalized ceremony to fit our personalities perfectly. He even took the time out to review programs I made just for the big day. I come from a very traditional Catholic family and Father Clarke was able to give us the Catholic ceremony we wanted without it being in the church. He was extremely professional and never passed and judgments. He had no issue traveling to Long Island to our venue. My guests loved his services just as much as my new husband and I did. I would recommend Father Clarke to anyone who is looking for an personalized ceremony.

Thank you Father Clarke for giving us more than we could have hoped for. It was truly a day we will never forget.

I cannot say enough about Father Clarke! I am Catholic and my husband is Episcopalian - neither of officially belong to a church and I had gotten a bit of run around when I went to the church that I had gone to growing up so we decided to find an alternative. Father Clarke was incredible! My Catholic family was so impressed by the ceremony - we had basically a Catholic ceremony without communion outdoors at our beautiful venue at River Stone Manor in Glenville, NY. We had a Skype meeting with Father Clarke when we were deciding to use him and he was very friendly, asked us about how we met, what we were hoping for in the ceremony, what we like to do together, etc...and that was our only meeting with him. He had extended an invitation for us to come down to meet him in person and was available at any time - we had several email communications along the way - but we were just too busy with work to make the 2 hour trip downstate to meet. So, we were a little worried about how the ceremony would go. We were completely floored - despite having just that one meeting, a few emails, and a little discussion with me alone before the ceremony, our ceremony felt like he had known us for years! He completely personalized his remarks, he was funny - we have so money wonderful pictures of us from the ceremony where the 2 of us were laughing - he was so amazing I wish that he was a priest in a local church because I would go back just to listen to him! He put us both completely at ease, we felt special, we felt that he really knew us, and it was a wonderful experience for us as well as our family and friends - even my conservative Catholic family. Now that we are back from our honeymoon, when we see people from the wedding almost always the first thing they say is "where did you find Father Clarke? He was incredible!" I would highly recommend Father Clarke for your ceremony!!!

Father Noel was warm and friendly. He provided pre-ceremony advice to us that felt sincere and was flexible as changes and requests came up. We wanted our ceremony to include traditional Filipino elements (candle, coin, cord, and veil), and we loved the way Father incorporated them.

We couldn't be happier with our choice to use Fr. Noel as our officiant. From the beginning, he was very easy to work with. He didn't have an issue with traveling to our venue which was an hour and a half away. He accommodated any changes we made to the ceremony and provided ideas and inspiration for us as well. Fr. Noel made our ceremony personalized and light hearted which is exactly what we were looking for with a little added humor. I received many compliments throughout the night with regards to our ceremony. I wholeheartedly would recommend his services to future couples looking for an officiant.

Father Noel was hands down one of the highlights of our wedding day. He was entertaining, humorous and charming throughout. He knew just the right things to say to get the crowd to respond. I would highly recommend him to anyone getting married. We were extremely lucky to have found him, and we can't thank him enough for being a major part of our wedding's success.

We knew Father Noel was the right officiant for us as soon as we met him. His wry sense of humor, the twinkle in his eye, and his lovely brogue added to the magical quality he exudes. He took his time getting to know us, gave us a template for the wedding ceremony, and was very responsive during the process. The day of the wedding he arrived relaxed, and joked with us and our wedding party, putting us all at ease. His demeanor is warm and friendly; our family and friends raved about the beauty of the ceremony, and how Father Noel made everyone feel welcome and loved. Everyone simply asks "WHERE did you find him?"

Thank you so much Father Noel, for adding such a special quality to our ceremony, one we will remember and cherish forever.

Father Noel was everything we were looking for! Kind, articulate, spiritual, authentic, and flexible. He had some very helpful suggestions and templates for the ceremony, but was also able to add his own personality and originality to our ceremony. Can't say enough - highly recommended!

Father Noel officiated at our wedding and was just the kind of person we were looking for. He was completely respectful and non-judgmental of how we wanted our wedding ceremony to be structured. He also gave us loads of different ideas for readings both religious and non-religious, which helped speed up the selection process for us. During the ceremony we (and our guests) were completely at ease. We couldn't have been happier with how everything went. Loads of people asked us where we found Father Noel and commented on how beautiful and relaxed the ceremony was. So glad we found him :)

Fr. Noel made our special day truly "special". He was very easy to work with. Fr. Noel kept in touch to ensure all went well. He offered suggestions as to where in Central Park would be a good location for the wedding. We came in from out of state to be married in New York. As a result of Fr. Noel performing the ceremony we felt our wedding was "Truly Blessed".

Father Noel Clark was the absolute highlight of our very special day. Guests are still talking about his beautiful ceremony, all of his special touches, and even his humor. He did not miss a thing and it was as perfect of a ceremony as we could have ever hoped and dreamed of. He listened to everything we had discussed with him, and was always available to discuss more if needed. I highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed!!!

Father Noel performed our wedding ceremony at our venue. He was delightful to work with and allowed us to design the ceremony to be exactly what we wanted. Coming from an Irish Catholic family, where most weddings are in the church, it was wonderful to hear from our families how much they loved the ceremony and how beautiful it was. Father Noel gave us access to several examples of wedding scripts, and then we were able to go from there in choosing our readings and including special touches such as a unity candle, a remembrance prayer and an Irish blessing. We highly recommend Father Noel!

Fr.Noel was the best! My husband & I had a dual religion ceremony & Fr.Noel was so great to work with. When we met with him, he gave us sample ceremonies to work off of & gave us suggestions to certain traditional aspects we wanted included in the ceremony. On our wedding day, he worked perfectly along side the Rabbi & every guest commented on how beautiful the ceremony was & how much fun Fr. Noel was. He also was so prompt in sending in our marriage license. We would absolutely recommend him!

He also worked very well with the other officiant we also used for our interfaith wedding. We had many guests comment on how much they enjoyed the ceremony!

I cannot thank Father Noel enough for the beautiful & funny ceremony that he provided for me & my husband Gareth at Tappan Hill Mansion on Friday the 17th of April. He gave the whole ceremony a laid back & relaxed feeling. We were so glad to have Noel be apart of our day. All our guests commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was & how nice Father Noel was, he stayed for the cocktail hour & he mingled with guests & spoke with our parents. We couldn't have asked for more! Thank you Father Noel!

Noel was great in the run up to the ceremony, he sent me sample programs & he offered advice when needed for putting the program together.

My new husband Chris and I cannot thank Fr. Noel enough for the service he provided as the Officiant for our wedding on October 5th at the Mansion of West Sayville. He was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. We knew we wanted him to officiate our service because he had also married my sister and her husband two years prior. It was without a doubt the right choice.
From the very beginning he was extremely helpful and responsive. He responded to every email promptly and he was helpful with the planning process. We also loved the personal touches that he added to the ceremony.
I would strongly recommend Fr. Noel to anyone looking for someone to officiate their ceremony.

Father Noel officiated our September 13th wedding at Bear Mountain, and we are so happy to have had him perform this important task. Besides giving us a beautiful ceremony, he was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Firstly, he is incredibly responsive. Not only did he respond to our emails very quickly, but he was very conscientious about responding to every item in our messages—I never had to ask a question more than once (which, if you’ve already started working with vendors, you probably know is a rare quality!). In addition, we hired him more than a year in advance; Father Noel very thoughtfully sent us emails periodically just to check in with us during that time. Secondly, Father Noel genuinely wants to help you to have the ceremony that is meaningful to you. He was very open to us including elements from Catholicism and Judaism, and including secular readings. Being from two different religious backgrounds, my husband and I were very grateful that we could incorporate both of them without having to hire two officiants. Thirdly, Father Noel is an excellent speaker! Our guests loved the ceremony and we really appreciated how his personality shined through. Finally, we did not have to worry about anything with Father Noel—he arrived on time, always let us know right away when he received our payments, and mailed in our marriage license the Monday after our wedding. Father Noel is a sincere and kind person, and you will not regret choosing him for your wedding!

Fr. Noel Clarke was the best officiant we could have had! He took the time to make us feel comfortable and allowed us to choose how we wanted our ceremony to go. He was also very flexible with payment deadlines and made our ceremony feel so personalized. We would gladly recommend him to our family and friends.

Fr. Noel was a delight to work with. We hired him more than a year ahead of time and he was constantly in touch with us. Our ceremony was personal and exactly what we wanted. He was really charming and everyone loved him. We had a technical difficulty with the sound system during the ceremony and he handled it incredibly well. Our ceremony went beyond our expectations and we thank him dearly for making it extra special.

Fr. Noel was the best choice for our Roman Catholic inspired out door wedding ceremony. He offered wit with a side of spiritualism. He made our guests laugh, but also reflect on the beautiful commitment that we were making on the day. He seemed genuinely happy to part of our celebration. Prior to our wedding he was very helpful with helping us design our wedding day. He was patient and understanding, and always a phone call or email away. I would highly recommend Fr. Noel for your ceremony and hope to cross paths with him again (but under different circumstances of course! :))

Father Noel was incredibly easy to work with and worked with us to provide a wedding ceremony that best fit our religious sentiments. He was available when needed, but wasn't intrusive which made the entire process so easy. His kind demeanor and understanding of our humor made our wedding ceremony feel perfectly tailored for us. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

He was an absolute delight and created a intimate, humorous and thoughtful ceremony. His responsiveness and flexibility put us at ease leading up to the wedding and his lovely brogue and cadence charmed my Irish Catholic family. I highly recommend him as an officiant, he made our wedding day even more perfect.

We knew we wanted to have Fr. Noel officiate our wedding from our first meeting. My family is Irish-American and I felt like he could have been someone my grandma would be friends with if she were here today. He's very kind and sweet and helpful. He provides examples of other ceremonies for you to use if you choose to write your own. My husband and I decided to write our own ceremony and Fr Noel executed it flawlessly. If memory serves me correctly, he left the priesthood for love! Can you get a better reason? He was one of our vendors we did not have to worry about at all. I would recommend Father Noel to anyone looking for a genuine, sweet and helpful officiant. I still have guests from my wedding asking if he was our priest from our parish or if he was someone in my family! That's how good he was! Thank you Fr. Noel

My wife and I are so thankful for Fr Noel's services as our officiant. He did an excellent job with the script and I think everyone including my wife and me, enjoyed the little bit of humor he infused into it. Of all the compliments we have received from our guests thus far, the majority of them were regarding the ceremony, which would not have been possible without him. Fr Noel was incredibly easy to work with even with our busy schedules and is a naturally good public speaker.

When planning our wedding, the ceremony was the most important thing. We went back and forth over whether we should have a church wedding... but we decided we wanted a more informal, personal ceremony. Then we happened upon Father Noel. He was the first -- and only --- officiant we met with. We were taken with his warm, relaxed personality. Although this is one of the happiest days of your life... it's also the most stressful. It's a must to have an officiant to be confidant, relaxed, and prepared. He was all three!

At the reception, almost every guest asked where did we find him?! --- and even for referrals for future weddings! He was super funny (the guests loved that!), and made us enjoy our ceremony from start to finish. He will work with you on any type of ceremony you want --- it's completely up to you.

He also mailed in our marriage license application right away, and was very prompt with emails. You won't go wrong picking Fr Noel as your officiant!

Where to begin....I cannot say enough about Fr. Noel! He really put such a personal touch on our ceremony! Ourselves, our guests, and family cannot say enough about this man. Best officiant EVER! Ceremony was the perfect touch of personal, religious and lighthearted! The whole room felt a part of the ceremony! Plenty of laughs, smiles and tears! Damien and I felt honored to have such a great man perform such a wonderful ceremony! I would recommend Fr. Noel to anyone getting married!

I am not normally someone who writes reviews, however I felt this is well deserved for Father Noel. When we met in person he was very welcoming and informative. After our visit with him, we knew he was the perfect choice to officiate our wedding. He followed up with us after the visit and was very responsive to any questions we had. He helped us come up with a ceremony that would be best for us.
At the Wedding he made the two of us feel comfortable and at ease. He even made the audience laugh which I loved because thats what the two of us are like. We were so happy with our decision and it was an honor for him to officate our wedding. Thank you!!!

Fr. Noel was absolutely wonderful. We had just relocated from New York to Florida and had only met Fr. Noel once before leaving for St. Petersburg. The wedding venue was held back up North in Staten Island. This was a bit nerve-wracking, since we were not physically there until a few days prior to the wedding. We were in constant touch with Fr. Noel and he knew exactly what we wanted. We had a traditional Catholic ceremony, but Fr. Noel added his own heart-felt touch.....referring to us as if he has known us for a lifetime and of course throwing in his quick-witted Irish sense of humor. We received rave reviews from everyone in attendance and they all say the same thing, "What an outstanding officiant and where did you find him?" We recommnd Fr. Noel to everyone that wants that one-on-one attention and the feeling that you are the only couple in the world. Thank you Fr. Noel and many years of blessings are sent your way! Warmest Regards, Dorothy and John

Father Noel helped us every step on making our ceremony memorable. we wanted a traditional catholic wedding but wanted it outside the church, we are so glad that we found Father Noel who officiated our ceremony. we ended having a mix of traditional and contemporary ceremony. He responds to my questions right away through email and calls. he also lightened up the room because everyone seem to be upset we have to move our ceremony inside because it started raining. he made everyone laugh all through the ceremony. everyone is raving about him after our ceremony, until now i am still receiving compliments about him.

Father Noel got rave reviews from my new husband and both our families! He was professional at all times, and also added the lightness and fun to our ceremony that we had hoped for. Everyone enjoyed his work, and some people thought we had known him for years! Father Noel was quick to respond to emails and work with minor changes we made to the ceremony and venue. There was no stress working with Father Noel! Exactly what we had hoped for. He truly added to our special day!

Father Noel lived up to all of our expectations. He is incredibly responsive and professional. He was able to customize the ceremony to our wishes as well. From my research his cost is very similar to other officiants. Since he excelled in all areas I would therefore say it was money well spent.

We had Rev Noel as our officiant. He was so funny and seemed to thoroughly enjoy our offbeat wedding. He set such a great tone for the entire night. Plus he made my parents happy because he did a semi Catholic ceremony instead of completely secular.

We had a great experience with Fr. Noel. He was fast to respond to a short notice request to be married and traveled to our home to officiate the wedding. Tom & Yvette

Dear Father Noel,
The circumstances revolving around Eileen and Michael's nuptials were very sensitive due to her illness and the desire to be married before she started treatment. That you were able to be available for them, on such short notice, and really make the ceremony so unique and special to them was something truly unexpected and had such a wonderful impact on the special day. There are really no words that can be written to express how much it meant to them and their loved ones. It did not feel like a fly by the seat of your pants wedding at all. You clearly put their love and wishes ahead of everything. Thank you so much for making something that has such important and special meaning happen and thank you for taking the time to make it so personal and warm. I hope to see you again when they renew their vows once Eileen is healthy again.

God Bless,
Alanna Marie (The 24 hour wedding planner!)

Fr. Noel was amazing! I had a very small wedding with only family and he kept with the lax atmosphere. The ceremony was quick and seamless. Thank you Fr. Noel!!

Fr. Noel was very gracious and guided us through the process seamlessly. We had a mishap during the ceremony--he brought the wrong version (!) but he dealt with it professionally and kept his cool. Made the ceremony very dear and memorable. Highly recommended.

We were very glad to have Fr. Clarke as part of our ceremony and would recommend him to anyone for their ceremony. He worked seamlessly with our other officiant, a rabbi. He's very direct about the process and can answer any difficult questions.

My partner and I wanted to be married after we moved back to New York from Florida in July. We picked my sobriety date of November 17th. August-November went by so fast moving into our house and getting settled that we just put off getting our marriage license. Well the week of November 17th was upon us and we still had no license. How would we pull this together and find an Officiant in 2 days??? Well on November 15th, we went to Town Court and applied for our Marriage License. I called Father Noel to see if he would be available to do our wedding in 2 days. Well, to my surprise Father Noel pulled our ceremony together for us! We met at our home, where we had the ceremony and discussed what we wanted. To our surprise Father Noel took the bull by the horns and arranged EVERYTHING for us, he said all we had to do is show up! After a quick rehearsal, we had our beautiful wedding on a perfect Fall day at our home. We could not be more grateful and satisfied with Father Noel! I am an airline Captain, so I do like things to run on time and to go off without a hitch. Our service was scheduled for 2 PM on November 17th. Father Noel showed up at 1 PM and our service started at exactly 2 PM!
Thank you Father Noel for making our day not only special, but PERFECT!

Father Noel was amazing! We travelled from Australia to New York to have a private catholic ceremony, and all via email, Father Noel made our day possible and rememberable. He was kind and thoughtful and we felt at ease like we had met him many times before. He put in so much effort and coordinated with our photographer to make it all happen. Our family is grateful for his service and we wish him all the best.

\r\n\r\nFr Noel was officiant at our recent wedding - and it was absolutely the best decision we could have made. \r\n\r\nHe made the day perfect- a beautiful, moving ceremony that was also loads of fun! Also the perfect mixture of our wish for both tradition and modernity.\r\n\r\nAll our guests talked afterwards about how relaxed and enjoyable the ceremony was - just perfect, felt like we knew him for years! \r\n\r\nWe couldn\'t recommend him highly enough. Book him! \r\n\r\nNuala & Dean

Father Noel was the absolute best officiant I have ever witnessed at a wedding. My husband and I are both catholic but were looking for a non traditional service. After providing us with some ceremony ideas we able to rewrite the ceremony to reflect our values and beliefs. Father Noel took the time to get to know us as individuals and took our personalities into consideration resulting in a very humorous but touching ceremony. He was truly the best part of our wedding and we would highly recommend him to anyone

Fr. Noel was a wonderful officiant. As soon as my husband and I met him we knew it was a great fit. He is so open minded and makes you feel very comfortable. On the day of the wedding he knew exactly what to say at all the right moments. I highly recommend him!

Father Noel was a pleasure to work with and was extremely flexible with the ceremony, script and his formal wear. As we were unable to wed in a church, Father Noel brought the church to us. Thank you for a great ceremony !

Back in Kerry after our wonderful NY wedding in Central Park. Initially it seemed ominous as we considered
a Catholic themed ceremony outdoors while on holiday in New York. We we referred by a fiend in New York to Fr. Noel Clarke
He was down to earth, afforded us the ability to craft our ceremony with a Catholic ethos and spiritual flavor. His knowledge of Central Park was amazing and his choice of the Bethesda Fountain was great.
Obtaining the license was a cinch with Fr. Noel's advise.
Maebh and me are grateful to Fr. Noel who was so warm and embracing of our needs!
Highly recommended!

Fr. Noel did a very good job in our wedding ceremony. It was a civil and religious ceremony and it came out very well. It feels like I get married in the church even though it was civil wedding. His fee is affordable compare to other officiant we encounter. Very professional. Highyly recommended!!

We loved having Fr. Noel officiate our ceremony. He was very responsive to our questions throughout the planning process, and he gave us some great ideas for structuring our ceremony. He is very flexible as to what you can include in your wedding as far as readings, prayers, etc., as long as you keep the components you need for a legal marriage ceremony. Thank you Fr. Noel-we loved our ceremony, and so did our guests!
