Fr. John Michael O'Sullivan

Father John performed our marriage 5/15/21. We got married at the gazebo on the Bradley Beach boardwalk in NJ. We could not be happier with his services. He offers a wide variety of choices so that the ceremony can be tailored to exactly how you like it. He has a fun personality and made our ceremony perfect. Would definitely recommend him!

My husband and I were both raised Catholic but once I saw the chapel at Park Chateau, I knew that’s where I wanted our ceremony. Father John sent us a 40 page packet of ceremony ideas that allowed us to totally customize it to us. We were able to do traditional catholic vows and readings but add some other things to make it more us like a wine ceremony. He was easy to work with and Joan in his office is quick to respond so we would definitely recommend!

Father John was phenomenal in helping us through this whole process. He answered all questions we had throughout the entire process. We met casually and he wanted to make sure we were comfortable in our decision before moving forward with choosing him to marry us. He arrived at our venue early so we could go through all the formalities and he kept the ceremony short and sweet. We did the readings that were special to us, and he introduced us to the "Wine Box Ceremony" which both us, and all of our guests loved. They've never seen it before and thought it was something so special and different. Father John is so personable and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get married by a Catholic Priest.

Choosing Fr. John to officiate our October wedding at Bonnet Island Estate was the best decision. We wanted a Catholic ceremony (which is impossible to actually have outside of the Catholic Church) and he did everything in his power to make it feel like a true Catholic ceremony, while incorporating some personalized aspects that reflected us as a couple. His office manager, Joan, was also wonderful to work with throughout this process. Would highly recommend!

Father John was amazing for our wedding!!! Did an amazing job very professional knew I was freezing so sped up our sand ceremony couldn’t have asked for anything more! Highly recommend father John!

Father John was an amazing officiant. He offered us plenty of examples to help us craft our ceremony, while still keeping true to ourselves. He made the ceremony so special, and easy to follow. All of our guest were raving about how beautiful it was!

Father John Michael did a wonderful job conducting our ceremony. He provided us with several different examples of ceremonies and I was able to create the perfect ceremony. Father John Michael has several tips and tricks from his expertise, and helped us make every detail perfect. The ceremony was my favorite part of my wedding day, and many guests said the same!

We loved Father John. He was recommended to us by a former couple. From our first meeting with him to our correspondence with Joan, they helped us to design a ceremony that matched us as a couple, while still keeping some of the tradition.

Father John was phenomenal and super easy to work with. He provides you with so much material and let’s you tailor your own perfect ceremony. Everyone loved him. Our ceremony was very traditional with our own personal touch and Father John delivered it with perfection. He’s a very kind person and I can’t reccomend him enough.

Father John Michael did a wonderful job at our wedding! It was a pleasure working with him. He and his assistant Joan provided a comprehensive packet so that we could tailor the wedding to exactly what we were looking for. He even encouraged us to add things to make the ceremony uniquely ours. He helped make our wedding perfect, and I can't recommend him highly enough!

Fr. John made our wedding ceremony truly memorable. We cannot thank him enough.

Fr. John was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we first began working together, my then fiance and I knew we'd found a gem. Fr. John was incredibly flexible with all of our ceremony requests. We had an instant connection with Fr. John. His knowledge, suggestions, ideas and ability to cater to our needs/desires really came through. Honestly, he blew me away on the first call! I just felt like I'd known him for years and he completely grasped what we were going for. Additionally, he was bride-centric and wanted to make sure my vision for the day was fulfilled which for me was important because I'm much more of a 'people pleaser'. When I'd call to make a request on behalf of my mother or someone else he'd stop me and say, but 'is this what you want?' This was phenomenally important for me and I'm so grateful he posed that question to me. The ceremony itself was absolutely seamless. He arrived quite early, warmly greeted the groom and bridal party, and just made everyone feel so at ease. His demeanor and poise brought a very spiritual tone to the service despite the fact it was outside which was important to me as well since I'd initially wanted to marry in a church. I loved the wedding packet he'd had me work from with all of the suggested readings, prayers, add on ceremonies etc. it made it so easy to customize our service and really personalize it to match my religion and my grooms spirituality. I cannot express enough the amount of compliments we received. I'm sure many brides feel this way but the moment I reached the end of the aisle, I just felt encapsulated in this spiritual bubble. I don't know how to explain it but I couldn't see anything other than my groom and Fr. John. It was a singular experience in my life. Fr. John truly made it feel like a spiritual union was happening. All of our guests said they'd never seen a more beautiful, loving ceremony which was a huge compliment because for us, that was the most important aspect of the wedding (aside from having all of our guests present). We wanted it to feel special, spiritual and moving for all witnessing it and Fr. John definitely made that a reality. I cannot recommend him enough. Fr. John was amazing to work with, responsive, punctual, kind, warm, effusive - just a wonderful person.
