Our wedding ceremony was everything we hoped it would be and more. We are both divorced with children and after knowing each other for several years we knew we wanted to get married, but more importantly, we wanted our marriage to be blessed. Before our wedding ceremony Father Jims kindness made us feel at easy as we were preparing for this very important step in our lives. Father Jim spoke with warmth and sincerity. His words truly touched us deeply, as well as everyone present at the ceremony. His presence brought a special sense of joy and reverence to the day, making it unforgettable not only for us, but for our family and friends as well.
We are incredibly grateful!

Rev Jim was absolutely amazing!
God truly used him in a powerful way during our ceremony. His presence, words, and spirit brought so much warmth, peace, and joy to our special day. The ceremony was heartfelt, beautiful, and full of love everything we prayed for and more. We are so thankful that God led us to him. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone genuine, passionate, and full of grace!

We recently got married May 3rd of 2025 and asked Father Jim to officiate us and he happily accepted. Father Jim inspired my husband when he was younger and always talked about how much he admired him and how much of and impact he made on him. Father Jim not only blessed our wedding with grace and love but also happily accepted marrying us at our ceremony reminding us that god loves us and welcomes us everywhere even if outside a church. I as the bride had lost faith along the way but found it again and Father Jim’s words, blessing, kindness, ceremony and friendship meant more than I think even he knew. He gave us everything we needed to be prepared, how the ceremony would go, what to expect and how to respond when we asks questions so there’s no surprises. He is funny, kind and so amazing, he captured the whole audience and everyone at the wedding expressed how much they just loved him! He is the absolute best and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!! We cannot thank him enough for blessing us and giving us such a beautiful welcome with God into this new chapter called marriage!

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.
