We were so fortunate to have Father Jim officiate our outdoor ceremony at The Rockleigh, and it was absolutely amazing! His kind and personable nature made him such a joy to work with throughout the entire process. He was always quick to respond and so helpful in making sure everything was perfect. The ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt, setting the perfect tone for the rest of our day. Our wedding wouldn’t have been complete without Father Jim, and we can’t thank him enough!

Father Jim was kind, caring, attentive and available during our wedding planning process. He helped us feel at ease during our ceremony planning and gave us helpful ideas and suggestions to create a personalized ceremony for us. He did an incredible job balancing the religious aspect while still keeping it touching and personal. He has even reached out to us multiple times after the wedding checking in and wishing us well. I would highly recommend Father Jim to anyone looking for an officiant!

It was such a pleasure working with Father Jim. He was able to step in for another Rev. due to a family emergency. His presence was very assuring that and he officiated a beautiful ceremony for us. It was as if we planned to work with him from the start and we couldn’t have been anymore grateful for him stepping in to officiate. We also received a thoughtful Christmas card from Father Jim (we married in November) and we still have it to this day. He was a part of one of the most important days of our life and I am very glad he was.

We are so glad we found Fr. Jim to perform the service at our wedding. He understood our vision of that very special day and found ways to accommodate those needs at every point. From the first moment we began speaking to Fr. Jim, he was willing to take the time to explain everything to us in detail. He came forward with wonderful, unique ideas that customized our wedding with the distinct and extraordinary ambiance we wanted. We appreciate his kind efforts and hard work in personalizing a perfect and beautiful ceremony. We had many compliments from our guests after the ceremony as they were quite moved with his delivery of our vows. Fr. Jim was calm, relaxed and had such a welcoming approach to all in attendance, and our family raved about the moving and memorable ceremony. In today’s hustle and hectic lives, it is getting harder and harder to find someone who is willing to take the time to help with such a kind, loving, and accepting demeanor. Fr. Jim is someone we will always remember as we reflect on our special day. Without hesitation, we strongly recommend his splendid and creative gift. Because of his endearing personality, it was truly the best day imaginable.
