    Perfect Ceremony for Blended Service

    When planning our special day it was critical to find someone who could co-officiate our wedding with a spiritual leader from a different faith. Our high expectations were exceeded by Rev. Gary. His experience, strong communication, and ability to personalize the service were incredible.

    More specifically, our other officiant was not as experienced with weddings and Rev. Gary was great in terms of taking the lead with the ceremony, maintaining a calm and helpful demeanor, tailoring a personalized message, and capturing the attention of our friends and family.

    Further, even when we had a few issues with the weather, Rev. Gary stayed calm and focused, kept the service moving, and made everything appear normal.

    We truly could not have envisioned a better service or asked for a better officiant for our special day. I would without question recommend Rev. Gary highly to anyone looking for the right person to officiate their special day.

    Outstanding experience!!!

    Rev. Gary was an outstanding officiant. I couldn’t say enough good things. Not only did he Capture our essence as a couple, he tailored our ceremony to everything we could possibly want. We weren’t interested in a typical ceremony; so he offered alternate options that were perfect for us.

    He is the best!

    Oh my goodness I cannot say enough good things about Reverend Gary! He was amazing throughout the whole process!! From the moment we met him, we knew he would be the perfect officiant for us. He was very easy to talk to and made everything simple so I never once felt stressed. He worked with us on every detail of the ceremony and made it exactly what we wanted. All we received after the wedding were compliments about the ceremony. Everyone loved him! Most importantly, we loved working with him and highly recommend him! We couldn't have been happier!

    Everything we wanted!

    Reverend Gary was everything we wanted! He was so easy to talk to and made the process simple. We talked on the phone, facetime, in person and he was always so happy to speak with us and made sure every detail we wanted in our ceremony was included. On the day of, Gary made sure our ceremony was perfect! He put in his own twist after learning about us that made it so personal. We are still getting comments on how amazing our ceremony was and asking how we found him! Gary made our day more special than we could imagine. Thank you!!

    Reverend Gary Gudzik's reply:

    Thank you so much, Sam! You and Joe made a beautiful couple, and the look on Joe's face when he saw you coming down the aisle was priceless. It was an honor to be a part of your day, and I'm so happy you and your guests enjoyed the ceremony!

    Reverent Gudzik took my thoughts and ideas and created a beautiful and personal ceremony and I could not have asked for more.
    We are beyond grateful to have found someone that was able to make this ceremony as amazing as it was. We would do it all over again if we could!

    Reverend Gary Gudzik's reply:

    Lara & Sean, thank you so much for the kind words. I was thrilled to be a part of your wedding day, and I just want to say that you did a wonderful job planning it! Bringing the sand from Sylt to use in the Unity Sand ceremony was a brilliant idea, and added so much to the meaning of the ceremony. Lerne von jedem Tag den ihr zusammen verbringt. Behandel den anderen als jemand besonderen und eure Ehe wir sicherlich ein Leben lang halten. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

    Reverend Gary was terrific from start to finish. He calmed our nerves, had everyone laughing and was delightful throughout the entire ceremony . Couldn't ask for better!

    Reverend Gary Gudzik's reply:

    Thanks Sue and Charlie! It was a fun wedding and you outdid yourselves creating a perfect wedding space in the back yard. I wish I had stayed...I loved seeing the photos of everyone diving into the pool fully clothed after the rain!

    Rev Gary was an absolute pleasure to work with. The ceremony was beautiful and he listened to exactly what we wanted.

    We are currently living in MD and we were getting married in NY. I am catholic and my wife is luthern. We wanted a religious cermony and Rev Gary helped us cocreate the perfect ceremony. All of our guest told us how much they loved it. I would absolutely recommend Rev Gary.

    We just were married 10/27/17 and used rev. Gary for our ceremony. He was amazing! We did the hands ceremony, box ceremony and rose ceremony and all of our guests were so impressed as were we by how beautiful it all came together. He was such a pleasure and we highly recommend his services

    Reverend Gary Gudzik's reply:

    Megan, you and Jonathan made a beautiful couple, and I'm so glad you and your guests were happy with the ceremony. Natalie was the perfect flower girl, and it was very special having her in Jonathan's arms during part of the ceremony! Your vows were beautifully written and touching. Thank you for the honor of being a part of your special day!

    Wonderful experience!!! My husband and I knew what we didn't want, but had no ideas on ceremonies that would fit us. Reverend Gary sat down with us and gave a lot of ideas that were perfect. Our friends and family are constantly telling us how it was the best ceremony they ever saw, and its a memory we will whole heartedly cherish for the rest of our lives.

    Reverend Gary Gudzik's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, Shannon! You and Matty were great people to work with, and your vows were some of the best I've seen couples write - absolutely perfect for each other. I'll always remember the first "GOT-themed" wedding I ever officiated!

    I would HIGHLY recommend using Rev. Gary for your wedding! My husband and I got married at our venue, but still wanted the feel of a a Catholic Church Ceremony. Rev. Gary led us in an opening prayer, 2 readings, a Gospel, and gave beautiful advice! Rev. Gary has a great sense of humor, cracked some jokes, and make everyone feel like they were a part of our special day! He also took care of all the paper work with our marriage license the day of- He is GREAT! I wish I could get married- it was a beautiful experience thanks to Rev. Gary!!!

    Reverend Gary Gudzik officiated my wedding last year and I could not be happier that we chose him. I received nothing but compliments on how BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING our ceremony was. He was so genuine, kind and spoke from the heart. We simply met once to discuss our vision for our wedding and he took what we wanted and created a beautiful ceremony. I am so glad we chose Reverend Gudzik and I give him the highest recommendation; he made our wedding perfect!

    Rev Gary was wonderful! He helped us to modify and create our wedding vows which I will never forget. He made us very comfortable on a day which can make you nervous. He was humorous and had the crowd giggling. He was accomadating to us and come to our wedddig venue. He was professional to work with. Most importantly he was a happy positive person to work with when planning one of the biggest days of your life!

    Reverend Gary Gudzik's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind review. You and Eric chose a beautiful venue at the Allegria Rooftop overlooking the ocean, and I'll never forget the great nautical theme...which was absolutely perfect for the two of you! Blessings to you, Eric (and Gill and little J) for fair winds and following seas!

    We had our wedding ceremony in a vineyard but still wanted to have a ceremony that had a Catholic religious aspect. Rev Gary incorporated exactly what we wanted! He allowed us to personalize our ceremony yet keeping the traditional readings we chose. He also gave us options if we wanted to incorporate our family members in the ceremony such as the a candle unity lighting. We chose the wine unity ceremony he suggested to play off our vineyard wedding. It was beautiful! He captured our guests with humor and added touching quotes that described us as a couple. We received so many compliments on our ceremony. We highly recommend Rev Gary because he takes the time to get to know the couple and will make your wedding a memorable day you will always cherish.

    Reverend Gary Gudzik's reply:

    Thank you for the review, Michele. You and Kristian chose a beautiful venue and I can remember vividly what a handsome couple you made posing for pictures in the vineyard. May your future together be as sweet as the fruit of the vine. (See what I did there with the wine theme?)
