We absolutely loved working with Rev. Borda for our wedding. He was very responsive to all calls and emails and was always available to meet with us. His process for creating your ceremony was very easy and he really made the whole ceremony wonderful from start to finish.

Great to meet you! I am excited to be able to share my over 30 years of wedding experience with you. As an officiant I draw from my many years as the organist/musician for hundreds of weddings. I am a Catholic priest, ordained in the American National Catholic Church. I am not affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. Comfortable with religious, spiritual, and non-religious celebrations, my goal is to work with you and make your celebration the best possible. expression of your love. A review of the price list outlines the range of possibilities we can create together.

We feel so lucky to have had Father Owen officiate our wedding. From the start, he was incredibly thoughtful, professional, and reliable—showing up early and prepared, which gave u...
s so much peace of mind on such a big day. The ceremony itself was everything we hoped for: short, sweet, and deeply meaningful. Father Owen struck the perfect balance of heartfelt and lighthearted, even getting our guests to let out a few laughs along the way. It was truly special, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to lead us into marriage.
