Jim was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. I was looking for a more personal touch for our ceremony and Jim certainly provided that. We met at least four times ahead of t...
he ceremony and got to know each other. Jim also provided his wisdom and encouragement ahead of our wedding. I highly recommend him!
We had the hardest time finding the right Officiant for our wedding. When we first spoke with Rev. Jim over Skype, we knew he was perfect! He gave us Meyers-Briggs & FOCCUS exams...
to assess our personalities and teach us better ways of understanding one another and improved our communication skills. We met several times over Skype as we are in LA and our ceremony/Jim are both in CT. Then, we were lucky enough to meet up for dinner with Jim and his wife, Pat(who've been together 43 years!) right before our Big Day. He really went above and beyond to give us a very special and highly personalized ceremony! Thank you, Jim!
We are very happy to have found Rev. Jim to officiate at our wedding. He has worked with us pre-wedding, made us rediscover things about ourselves and our relationship, basically h...
ad a mini-retreat filled with useful knowledge on marriage.
Choosing a good officiant was our priority. I am Catholic and my husband is Agnostic, our guests are a mix of different beliefs and cultures - Rev. Jim has created a ceremony that was respectful to all. He crafted a reflection 'sermon' that was both insightful and funny. He has a deep booming voice and a presence that makes you feel at ease right away.
Our guests were impressed on how accurate Rev. Jim described our personalities, loved how we incorporated traditions into the ceremony and was basically quoting Rev. Jim's 'sermon' the whole day.
We highly recommend Rev. Jim. Thank you for sharing your time, skills and talent with us!
Jim helped make our ceremony PERFECT! He gave us some great ideas and helped us to create a ceremony that was a blend of religions and traditions that resulted in a meaningful and ...
original service.
Our guests were surprised when they learned that we had only known Jim for a short time. His ability to personalize our ceremony led everyone to believe that we had known him all of our lives.
Jim is a true professional and he sincerely cares about his clients. Choosing Jim as our officiant was one of the best decisions that we made!
If you want a ceremony that is personal, meaningful, and officiated by someone that cares about your day; Do yourself a favor and contact Jim.
I absolutely loved meeting and working with Rev. Jim on our wedding ceremony. He is an extremely warm person and you can tell how much he enjoys helping couples begin their lives t...
ogether. My husband and I found his pre-wedding planning/counseling sessions extremely helpful and thought provoking. I really appreciated that Rev. Jim understood the vision we had for our ceremony and helped us make it a reality. He is extremely accepting of different ideas and viewpoints when it comes to religion and spirituality, a quality that was extremely important to both of us. Many of our guests complimented us on how beautiful the ceremony was and many told us how they simply enjoyed listening to Rev. Jim speak!
This past Summer I had the honor of being married by an exceptional person, Rev. Jim Francek. Rev. Francek took the time to capture the essence and meaning of our love and infuse i...
t into our ceremony. The experience was spiritually moving and thought evoking. He truly has many gifts among which is his beautiful voice in word and song, his connection to the earth, his care for the virtues of marriage, and his process by which he becomes your friend. On a day which represented our future, when all our loved ones witnessed our commitment it was nothing short of MAGIC because of Rev. Jim Francek.
Jim Francek is who you want in your corner when you're taking that walk down the isle. He really takes the time to get to know you as a couple. He listens and respects your optio...
ns and concerns. He is committed to making the ceremony about the two people joining their lives, regardless how different they seem to be- opposites often times attract!! Our ceremony, which was in a beautiful reception hall and not a church, still felt very spiritual. He brought together traditions from my catholic upbringing and some protestant and some old celtic traditions that really appealed to my groom. It was a perfect blend of us and our families expectations. We were not in a place of worship, but it was obvious that God was present- it was commented on by many of our guests from different faiths. Everyone enjoyed the ceremony and felt comfortable sharing it with us. In the months leading up to the wedding, we met with Jim via Skype because we lived in different states. We laughed, we learned, my groom and I discovered things we had no idea we didn't know about each other! Jim was there to walk us through the process. On our wedding day, at the end of the ceremony we FELT married. :) Thank you Jim for helping us join our lives together. It's been 12 months so far, and we're going strong! A million more to go!!
Jim Francek is a man of honesty. He has a genuine attitude to the commitment he makes to you as a couple, as you make one of the biggest steps in your life. If you are looking for ...
a guy to just show up day of and speak from a book, Jim is NOT your man. Jim helped us from day one in our first of many meetings to learn who the each of us were, to explain why we loved each other, so he could start the building blocks of creating meaningful ceremony and it gave Corey and I a sense of, "Wow, this guy actually cares about who we are and what we are about!" It's refreshing to know a guy like Jim exists. Then Jim invited us to an eye-opening experience that we will take with us and use for the entire length of marriage. We took a day with him and other couples and reflected on who we really are and how we act and react to each other. This time with Jim was priceless and Corey and I lean red many new things about each other which has helped us in our engagement and marraige. He is a man who really understands why two people make this commitment and takes pride and joy in delivering a service that relays the true message of a wedding, the unity of two people and professing that love publicly in front of loving friends and family. The reception is great, but when it follows of service like Jim's, it looks like a mere bonus. Your family and friends will be floored. All in all, a ceremony with Jim is like he says, without boundaries, and he let us dictate how we wanted our ceremony to be and he added his wonderful and powerful words that had most people in tears. Thanks Jim! We look forward to working with you again on any future retreat!
I don't normally write reviews so this will be short and sweet but Jim was a fantastic officiant. He was patient, kind, knowledgable, and professional. We didnt write our own vows ...
but he had a great selection of writings and readings to choose from. He was the perfect amount of spiritual and serious without the ceremony being too boring. I highly recommend him!!!!
