Services Offered

Father Vince’s 42 years of experience blends psychology, spirituality, and celebration in the pursuit of wholeness and intimacy. One of his hallmarks is to convey to you and your guests a true sense of knowing one another. Your rapport with him becomes the heart and soul of your wedding ceremony.

The pre-marital counseling included in Father Vince’s work with you will blend planning with discussions about yourselves, your relationship, and the ways in which you remain healthy as individuals and as a couple. He finds that conversations that integrate planning and counseling help to enrich each other. These are the building blocks of your relationship and will contribute to the durability of your marriage. Additional pre-marital sessions are available upon request.

Incredible experience and wedding ceremony! Father Vince is the BEST!

We feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Father Vince. If he is available for your wedding day, you should absolutely do it! I was a bit hesitant to hire someone to officiate our ceremony (rather than asking a friend or family member), but our experience with Father Vince changed my mind. As a same-sex couple, we couldn't get married in the Church that we wanted to, but wanted to have a priest who had experience with both giving sermons and counseling couples (and of course someone who supported our relationship and desire to get married). Father Vince was the perfect person for us.

Throughout the process, he was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and willing to accommodate all of our requests. He genuinely wanted to get to know us, understand our relationship, and create the type of meaningful wedding ceremony that we were after. His pre-wedding questionnaire led to some great conversations between my wife and I, and our discussions with him during our meetings were also really helpful! (I think about his marriage advice quite often!) He also welcomed us into his home for our final pre-wedding meeting and his wife, Christine, made us delicious scones and when we were finished meeting, insisted on driving us to the train station back to NYC. They are such kind and thoughtful people.

Perhaps most importantly, Father Vince did an incredible job officiating our ceremony. So many of our guests came up to us after the ceremony (and told us in the weeks that followed) how impressed they were with him and how the ceremony was so meaningful and special. During the ceremony, Father Vince spoke to us directly while also engaging our guests. We can't thank Father Vince enough!

The Best Officiant!

Working with Father Vince was one of the most seamless and enjoyable experiences during our wedding planning process. He took the time to get to know us personally both through several conversations and a questionnaire about our relationship and beliefs. It was a pleasure talking with Father Vince, he was very personable and treats you like old friends or family. He worked to give us a customized ceremony that really fit us as a couple and who we are. Our friends and family all commented on how great the ceremony was and the thoughtful messages Father Vince shared.

Father Vince was also super helpful with the marriage license process, he gave us pointers on how it works for the township we were married in and even helped return it to the registrar's office after our wedding, which would have been an inconvenience for us due to our travel schedule.

If you can, get Father Vince as your officiant. He took a lot of time and effort to get to know us and make sure our ceremony and wedding was perfect and we look forward to talking with him in the future!

The BEST of the best!!

Working with Father Vince was hands down one of the best, most seamless experiences we had during the wedding planning process.

Father Vince treats you like family- he welcomes you with kindness, attentiveness and you can tell he was genuinely interested in learning about us as not only as a couple, but also on a personal level and as individuals. His questionnaire that was provided to us gave us time to really reflect on ourselves and our relationship, and Father Vince made our Zoom calls extremely interactive, and we couldn’t feel more comfortable and at ease going into our wedding. He is extremely responsive and provided us with a wealth of information and knowledge to prepare us for our married life together.

It seemed like we had known him our whole lives - the way that he approached us on our wedding day, bringing a calmness to both of us and the way he interacted with our families before the ceremony, and all of our guests during the ceremony. We have received so many compliments on his ceremony that he put together and it truly was the perfect reflection of our story as a couple and our journey moving forward.

We would recommend Father Vince over and over again as an Officiant to anyone who wants an extremely reliable, friendly and kind experience. We are so grateful to have met him and look forward to keeping in contact! Thank you again for making our day incredible!
