Fr. Chris was an incredible addition to our wedding planning process and wedding day. He went above and beyond to get to know my husband and I in the months leading up to the wedding. He was flexible, responsive, inclusive, caring, and genuine in his approach. We will remember Fr. Chris's homily for the rest of our lives - it was personalized and touching. I would wholeheartedly recommend any engaged couples work with Fr. Chris for their wedding!
Fr. Chris Yaw, Wedding Officiant's reply:
Devin - What kind words, thank you so much. I can't decide whether working with you and Teddy was more an honor or a pleasure. You are such an amazing couple and I can't wait to see what God has planned for your future!

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.

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.

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.
