Amanda H. Sent on 04/28/2024The Best Officiant!!
Father Shaun was absolutely amazing to work with. As we live down south, we were not able to meet him until the wedding day. That being said he was super flexible with us and was very quick with communicating. We were able to talk with him on the phone about our vision for our wedding and he was able to customize it to how we wanted it. We were also able to complete the pre-marital counseling via video chat. Father Shaun is so easy to talk to and is so easy going which made us feel so comfortable during this process. The way he led the ceremony was better than we ever could have asked for. It was very sweet and personal, while also keeping the traditional church ceremony present as well, which was what we wanted. I would 100% recommend Father Shaun as your wedding officiant!!.

Father Shaun guided my husband and I through the beautiful sacrament of marriage. He was so easy to work with during pre canna and the days leading up to our marriage. He worked with us to find perfect times that fit both of our schedules. He helped us to reflect on marriage and communication, and he made us feel at ease. He performed our ceremony so beautifully. He understands how stressed a bride can be, and he provided detailed emails with what I needed regarding the marriage certificate. He truly was a wonderful part of our day, and we are so thankful that he was there.Rev. Dr. Shaun Ake-Little's reply:
Lisa, thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words! I was truly honored to have worked with such a wonderful couple such as you and Dana. I wish you both nothing but love and happiness in your new life together. God bless! -

Fr. Shaun was incredibly easy to work with and performed an unforgettable ceremony for our wedding! He helped us through the pre-Cana and was able to help us have a modern Catholic ceremony that allowed us our personal touch. That combination is something we will never forget and heard reflected from dozens of attendees at our ceremony. We would highly recommend having him perform your ceremony if you want a truly special and memorable experience.Rev. Dr. Shaun Ake-Little's reply:
Sean and Patricia, thank you so much for your kind words. It was my honor to be present for your special day. Please know I am your priest always so please reach out anytime with anything you might need. God Bless! -

Katie B. Sent on 09/18/2022Fr Shaun was great!
From the start of the process, Fr Shaun was responsive, clear and welcoming. More importantly, he got to know us as a couple to deliver a personal wedding ceremony that was perfect. He lead us through pre-Cana, where we were able to have open conversations about faith which helped to strengthen our relationship even more before our wedding and was a modern approach to Catholicism which fit our values. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and was a calming presence on our wedding day. We would highly recommend him!Rev. Dr. Shaun Ake-Little's reply:
Thank you both so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It was my honor to work with both of you and please remember I am your priest forever so please don't hesitate to reach out should you ever need anything. God Bless! -

Incredible Experience
Father Shaun was more than just an officiant for our wedding. He was able to guide my partner and I through pre-cana and also helped me to get baptized before my wedding.
He was always responsive and available. He helped create our ceremony to be exactly what we wanted, sending us the script ahead of time and making any edits we had. He also is very accepting. Being part of the Progressive Catholic Church, his views and teachings aligned perfectly with what we were looking for; a traditional feel with modern values. Considering I was raised nondenominational christian and my partner traditional catholic.
The most common compliment from our day was that our ceremony was beautiful and fit us perfectly. Father Shaun was 100% the perfect choice!
We highly recommend Father Shaun for your ceremony or even as a priest! Working with him and his parish was an incredible experience from start to finish.Rev. Dr. Shaun Ake-Little's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am honored to be able to be a part of your spiritual journey and please know that I am always here whenever you might need me. God Bless! -

Great Personalized Experience
Rev. Dr. Shaun Ake-Little was the perfect choice for me and my husband. He made settling all necessary details simple with many great suggested options as well as the complete flexibility to make our own custom selections, such as readings, and he makes it clear customization requests are not seen as burdensome but rather preferred as his goal is to make each wedding as personal to the couple as possible. In our case, this involved adding a portion to the ceremony customary to my husband's ethnicity. Rev. Dr. Shaun Ake-Little not only took our notes on the details of that custom and its significance but he also did independent research on the subject, helping to round out details we may have missed otherwise. The counseling session put us at ease. We instantly felt comfortable and were even able to conduct the counseling session via facetime.
We could go on and on about the many ways Rev. Dr. Shaun Ake-Little ensured our wedding day was special and unique to us but the most important thing we can say to summarize our experience with him was he was friendly, accommodating, professional and we would highly recommend him to any couples in the area looking to get married!Rev. Dr. Shaun Ake-Little's reply:
Thank you both for such a kind review! It was my honor and privilege to be present at your wedding and help to make it exactly what you wanted. I wish you both nothing but love and happiness in your married life together. God Bless! -

Our ceremony was perfect!
Going with Father Shaun for our wedding was the best decision we made. Our ceremony was beautiful and well organized. He also considered our wants and needs for the ceremony and made it perfect for us. He also helped so much getting a Marriage license in NJ and walked us through it. Working with him for our wedding day was great and made our wedding day perfect!!! -

What can I say! Father Shaun puts more than time and effort; he dedicates! I was so happy to find a priest that could marry us after so many failed attempts due to Covid. Father Shaun made the preparation and planning seamless and smooth. Most importantly, he put love and faith into the beginning of this new chapter of our lives! Thank you !!!!

Amazing priest for our small, outdoor wedding
Father Shaun was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Despite the short notice and difficulties from covid-19, he helped us have the wedding of our dreams. He was very responsive and helpful. Our pre-wedding counseling was not only helpful but actually enjoyable. We loved how he individualized our ceremony for us, while still keeping the traditional Catholic wedding feel that we were looking for. We would absolutely recommended Father Shaun!Rev. Dr. Shaun Ake-Little's reply:
Brian and Samantha you were both such an amazing couple to work with. It was my honor to be present to witness your marriage! I wish you both nothing but happiness and love! -

Just wonderful
It was so lovely to have Father Shaun officiate our ceremony. Because of COVID, we were only able to meet him through zoom. We just felt so welcomed by him every time we talked. We wanted a traditional ceremony that was also personalized to us. He was able to do both. Our families were so pleased and we got so many compliments on how wonderful our ceremony was. We are so grateful to have met him!Rev. Dr. Shaun Ake-Little's reply:
Romina thank you for such kind words. It was my honor to assist you in creating such a beautiful ceremony! -
