    Highly Recommend Fr. Chris!

    Preparing for our marriage and working with Chris to officiate our wedding was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process! Fr Chris is the best - he's extremely knowledgable, kind, professional and helped make our wedding ceremony so special. We knew we wanted our wedding officiant to help make our marriage ceremony Christian faith-based, yet also personal and authentic to us. Chris did exactly that and more. Leading up to our wedding we met with Chris multiple times in person, even as an out-of-state couple! We met for multiple pre-marital sessions that were incredibly thought provoking, helpful and also allowed us time to all get to know eachother. Chris' homily day-of was a perfect blend of Christian teachings, personal to us and humor - exactly what we wanted. It was so special to us and we received countless compliments on our ceremony from our friends & family. I'd highly recommend working with Fr Chris to officiate your wedding!

    Fr. Chris Yaw, Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Aw Brittany! You and Connor are the best - what a joy it was to get to know you and I look forward to keeping tabs on this great marriage!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Fr. Chris Yaw was AMAZING! There were people asking for his card when the ceremony was over he is that good :) He really took the time to get to know my husband and I and brought in stories to the ceremony that brought tears to our eyes. There was laughter and happiness all around. Couldn't have been better.

    Fr. Chris Yaw, Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Megan! You are too kind. I had so much fun working with you and John, what a fantastic couple you are. Your triumphs over adversity are so inspiring. I consider it such a blessing and joy to get to know your wonderful families. I look forward to making more memories as time goes by!

    Father Chris was great!

    Father Chris made our wedding ceremony very personal! He truly cares about the couple and is very genuine. He was so easy to work with and made the process very simple. We were just married one year and he reached out on our anniversary to wish us well and check-in! Highly recommend!

    Fr. Chris Yaw, Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Maureen! Thank you for these nice words. You and Dan are such a terrific couple, I so enjoyed getting to know you guys - and I will never forget the river-side rehearsal and wedding - barge and all! I am so blessed to know you - and your wonderful girls.

    Welcoming and Authentic Service

    Father Chris is very welcoming, light hearted and humorous. Prior to marriage we met with him several times and connected on personal level. He was patient, kind and understanding through the entire preperation. This led to our weeding ceremony and his homily unique to us, but maintained the focus on God. Both of our families mentioned how great he was throughout the night because he not only is a great speaker, but he was authentic and genuine.

    Fr. Chris Yaw, Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Bronson - What a kind thing to say, thank you. You and Michelle are so well-suited for one another and to witness the deep love and joy between you two was - and is - unforgettable. Thanks for letting me play such a blessed role in your big day.

    Perfection!

    I would highly recommend Fr. Chris Yaw. Not only did he truly care about our union, he left us and our guests feeling comfortable and entertained. He is a natural public speaker, a devoted man of faith, and was incredibly enjoyable to spend time with.

    Fr. Chris Yaw, Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Ellie! Thank you so much for the kind words. You and Chris are the best, and what a perfect couple to bring together amidst such a loving constellation of family and friends. Truly one of my favorite weddings.

    A Lifelong Memory

    Fr. Chris's homily was deeply special and memorable for our guests - and us. Rarely do friends and family recall specific wedding ceremonies, but he made ours so personal, sentimental, and powerful that people still mention it - and that was 3 years ago!. We all laughed, cried, and were touched by his words that resonated with everyone. Many asked for his contact information afterwards because they wanted their wedding ceremonies to be equally as special. Fr. Chris cares deeply for the families he works with and provides the best experience from beginning to end. We highly recommend his services to any couple looking for more than just an officiant - but someone who incorporates faith, fun, and personal elements into one of the most important days of your life. Thank you Fr. Chris - we are so grateful for your support and friendship!

    Fr. Chris Yaw, Wedding Officiant's reply:

    You and Andrew will always hold a special place in my heart. Your vows were so authentic and inspirational, it was a fairytale day that I will remember forever. I am so thankful to know you and know that I am standing at a distance in prayer and praise for what God is doing in your lives.

    Fr. Chris Yaw is fantastic!

    We are so grateful that Father Chris agreed to officiate our wedding. Father Chris was flexible and accommodating as we had a “surprise wedding” with 150 guests. The event was supposed to be a Couples Shower. Father Chris, was of course, in on the trick. An hour into this party, all were gathered around for a toast & a blessing. Then boom, the big reveal, that this was actually the wedding! Father Chris helped ensure the wedding went smoothly, it was a beautiful ceremony. Father Chris has a great sense of humor and kept things moving along at a nice pace. So thrilled he officiated our wedding!! Mark and Ellen Buday
