Unique and Professional
Father Marty was an absolute joy to work with. He is a total professional and helped our day go smoothly.

Excellent officiant - a genuine person.
Father Marty is amazing. His entire process for the ceremony is so unique and special. Our entire group of 100 guests were thrilled and enthralled the entire ceremony, which lasted a perfect amount of time. In the months leading up to the wedding, Father Marty provided support and a few days before the wedding when things were getting a bit crazy, I called him and he completely made me feel calm and collected. Whether you need a catholic priest or just a stellar officiant, Father Marty is the best person for the job!Father Marty is amazing. His entire process for the ceremony is so unique and special.

Father Marty was amazing. He was excited to part of our day and gave amazing suggestions to make our day special and unique. Everyone loved the ceremony and commented on how personable it was. Throughout the entire planning period, he was open to meeting with us and listening to what we wanted in a ceremony. I would highly recommend Father Marty!Father Marty was amazing.

He is amazing! He worked with us, he helped us as the day got closer, and he was affordable. We did a Catholic ceremony and he was able to make sure that we got everything that we wanted. He was fun and helped a lot during that day. He is very kind and friendly and appears to very much enjoy what he does.He is amazing!

Father Marty was amazing, the perfect officiant for our wedding. He is very approachable, wonderful to talk to, and extremely flexible. He does not have any over the top requirements like some officiants do and kept in communication with us throughout the whole process. We were from Hawaii but having our wedding in Colorado and he set aside time to meet up to go over any last minute details. Once the ceremony came around he knocked it out of the park. He also makes it a priority to not be the center of attention at the ceremony, he wants the couple to receive the attention as he stands a little more to the side while giving his readings. Couldn't have asked for a better officiant. If you're not too sure what to do with your ceremony, Father Marty can easily steer you in the proper direction.Father Marty was amazing, the perfect officiant for our wedding.

Father Marty was awesome throughout the months of planning and most importantly he was perfect the day of as well. Father Marty was the first vendor we locked down early on in the wedding planning process and it worked out perfectly because he really laid out the guidelines for everything in the ceremony. So it really helped having a clear ceremony schedule really early on so that we can plan everything else around it. We ended up taking several suggestions to include in the wedding like a Wine ceremony & Rose ceremony. He was never pushy about ANYTHING. And my religious Dad was very impressed and happy we went with Father Marty to give our destination wedding in the mountains a catholic feel with a church. Dont think just book him, his schedule fills up quick.Father Marty was awesome throughout the months of planning and most importantly he was perfect the day of as well.

Officiant - unique, flexible
I am a wedding planner (PlanningTheIDo.com). I have worked with Father Marty several times. He is an officiant that makes couples feel comfortable, he helps them create a ceremony that is unique to them by making them the center stage (not him) and incorporating their personal touches. Highly recommend him.I am a wedding planner (PlanningTheIDo.com). I have worked with Father Marty several times.

Father Marty was everything we were looking for in a wedding officiant. He brings an amazing vision to the ceremony and uses a structure that is unique. Our ceremony was short enough to keep people interested, but long enough to give us time to feel present and make a memory of the entire ceremony. Many of our guests have told us it was the best ceremony they have ever attended, and I concur. Father Marty has a wonderful spirit, is energetic and helped us create many moments that we, our family and friends will cherish forever.Father Marty was everything we were looking for in a wedding officiant.

He was PERFECT for our wedding. We loved the way he organized the ceremony, spoke to our guests to include them in the event and how he stood to the side as to not be in all our photos. We both come from religious families but didnt want to have our ceremony in a church. Fr. Marty did a great job incorporating a catholic presence to our wedding without it being over the top religious. Many people have asked how we found Fr. Marty and I cant help but brag that we found him online, met him and thought he was perfect. He did an amazing job.He was PERFECT for our wedding.

Father Marty was absolutely wonderful. He was a perfect fit for our outdoor ceremony. I grew up Catholic and was set on an outdoor ceremony, which isn't allowed in the Catholic church. Father Marty brought the Catholic touch, was personable and made all our guests feel comfortable, even the non-Catholic or non-religious ones. I loved his personal touches such as the rose ceremony for the parents of the bride and groom, and his recommendations for non-traditional readings. He was willing to spend as much time with us as we needed to feel comfortable about our ceremony plans. I'm very glad we chose Father Marty; he contributed so much to making our wedding a perfect day!Father Marty was absolutely wonderful. He was a perfect fit for our outdoor ceremony.

The first time we met Father Marty we knew we wanted him to officiant our wedding. He is such a charismatic man we knew everyone would love him. He met with us a couple times before the wedding day to go over logistics to make the wedding day about US and what we wanted. He made the ceremony planning process so simple and worry free. Because we ceremony was a far drive for Fr. Marty we never did an actual rehearsal but Fr. Marty did such a great job of explaining everything to the bridal party, the entire ceremony was PERFECT!!!!

Simply perfect. Great personality and helpful suggestions. Took the time to figure out exactly what we wanted and helped us figure out exactly what that was! Not too preachy or too atheistic- just right. Great value, too, doesn't require deposit, or charge fees for cancellations or other changes.

Father Marty was great! He is so experienced with weddings and did a perfect job! It was so nice to have a little catholic touch to our outdoor wedding. The ceremony was a perfect length for us. Not too long, not too short, and very touching and sincere. He will suggest readings if your not sure, but always leave things up to you. I highly recommend him.Father Marty was great!

Just What We Were Looking For...
Father Marty officiated our ceremony and was able to accommodate our request to have a ceremony that was influenced by Catholic traditions since we would be unable to be married in a church setting (My husband is Catholic and I am not). We felt he performed a very beautiful and touching ceremony that was exactly in line with what we hoped for. We also received wonderful feedback about him from all of our guests who enjoyed his humor and authenticity. Thank you for being a part of our special day!Father Marty officiated our ceremony and was able to accommodate our request to have a ceremony that was influenced by Catholic traditions since we would be unable to be married in a church setting (My husband is Catholic and I am not).

Mixed Bag- Recommend with Clear Expectations
Fr. Marty was really easy to work with leading up to the wedding. I think we had a misunderstanding, which leads to my not as positive as it could have been review. Fr. Marty and I worked together on a script to integrate two faiths. There was another officiant from the other faith who was using this script, but Fr. Marty did not- after I sent it to him for review and we made modifications based on what he suggested. The other officiant was lost the entire time, the ceremony was less than smooth, there were multiple times where I had to interject or help the other officiant, and there was an awkward pause at the end where I had to say “I think we are supposed to kiss now” because no one said “you may kiss the bride”. I think if both officiants had followed the script the rabbi missing a page could have been mitigated by Fr. Marty, but he was unable to help her because he wouldn’t accept the script when it was offered to him by my mother in law. We booked months in advance and had multiple phone calls and meetings where we were very comfortable with everything, so showing up to the ceremony and hearing something completely different than expected didn’t sit well with us.
You can legally officiate your own wedding in Colorado for $30 and we had Fr. Marty to incorporate catholic tradition into the ceremony for the catholic parts of our family. I was rather disappointed with how it turned out.
On the plus side, Fr. Marty has a very loud voice and everyone said they could hear him. He was responsive and is a very nice man.Fr. Marty was really easy to work with leading up to the wedding.

This man is NOT a Roman Catholic priest. He dresses the part and is essentially a Justice of the Peace. He willingly left the priesthood in the Diocese of Ft. Wayne - South Bend, Indiana. He is not “retired.” He renounced his vows, and at this point would probably be excommunicated by the Church. This makes me sad.This man is NOT a Roman Catholic priest.
