Zach Sent on 09/10/2026Amazing Ceremony with Father Stephen
Father Stephen was everything my wife and I could have ever hoped for.
My wife was raised catholic while I was not. This made it difficult for us to find a church that would allow us to hold a catholic ceremony at our chosen venue, until we found Father Stephen and the progressive catholic church. Father Stephen was very easy to work with, very flexible, and an incredibly nice person. His inclusion of the three things we love most about each other during the ceremony was the perfect personal touch that made the moment feel even more special. I could not recommend him enough to other couples.Fr. Stephen Ryan's reply:
Thank you Zach and Victoria! Your words are greatly appreciated! It was my pleasure and privilege to participate in your Wedding Ceremony at the Abbe Holmes Estate! You both were so easy to work with and your families were amazing as well! Thank you for allowing me to have had a small part in your special day! -

We had the absolute best experience with Father Stephen. Since the day we met, we felt that we had know Father Stephen for our whole lives. He was so easy to talk to, welcoming, informative/helpful, kind, personable, and professional. He is a great communicator and is always available via text/call/email. We really appreciated the special add-ons to the ceremony that allowed our guests to get a deeper look into the love between my husband & I. We have received a ton of compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was. I cannot recommend Father Stephen enough!!!!Fr. Stephen Ryan's reply:

The BEST!!!!!
Fr. Stephen Ryan-Vuotto was the best choice that my now husband and I could’ve made. From the moment we chose him, he was in contact with us and super accommodating with our hectic schedules.
The day of the wedding, he officiated to most lovely ceremony we could’ve asked for. I still have people calling and telling me that it was one of the most beautiful ceremony’s that they’ve ever been a part of. We are truly grateful for him !
Fr. Stephen Ryan's reply:

Erin Sent on 09/10/2024Joyful & Reverent Professional
Immediately upon connecting with Father Stephen Ryan, my husband Mike and I knew he was the perfect officiant for our wedding. He was friendly & put us at ease right away. We were raised Catholic and wanted to incorporate our family traditions and beliefs into our ceremony, and Fr Ryan was accommodating enough to travel to Long Island to preside over our union at the venue. We were totally delighted with his experience and professionalism, and importantly, he brought the perfect balance of gravitas and joy to the sacrament. We cannot thank him enough!Fr. Stephen Ryan's reply:
Thank you Erin and Michael!! Your words are most kind and generous! It was wonderful working with you both and everything about your day was really so beautiful, you guys did an amazing job! Congratulations and all the best always! -

Christine Sent on 12/04/2022Couldn't Have Asked For Anyone Better!
Father Ryan was a pleasure to have as our officiant from the very start. Kind, understanding, helpful and knowledgable, he guided us through the entire process from start to finish. He felt like someone we knew for years right off the bat and every meeting with Father Ryan made us feel more at ease about our ceremony. And what a ceremony it was! Heartfelt, personal and filled with love and faith, our ceremony was absolutely magical. Our guests were beyond impressed with the event and praised Father Ryan for his service. Even beyond our wedding day, he contacted us to wish us well and send us his blessings. We reccommend Father Ryan without any reservations and are so happy that he was part of our special day. If you're thinking about hiring him for your wedding, don't hesitate! Thank you Father Ryan for making our wedding something that we will cherish always. - Christine & Rick LopezFr.

Sarah Sent on 11/12/2021The best Officiant!
Father Stephen Ryan really made our October wedding the best day of our lives! He was so personable and really took the time to get to know us before the wedding day, even during Covid times. He geared our ceremony for what we wanted and made sure to keep all of our friends and family engaged. He was the nicest man ever and always had a smile on his face. If you are looking for a priest for your wedding, he is the best choice! -
