Father Tracy was absolutely amazing! We are very grateful to have found him to officiate our wedding. Though we couldn’t have our traditional wedding (in a church) he definitely brought that to us which made our day that much better, memorable and perfect! Thank you Father, you were kind, compassionate, comforting and very personable.
Father Taylor Tracy is amazing!!! We also did premarital counseling with him a few months prior to our wedding and loved it so much... highly recommend doing this!! It was such an amazing way to get closer as a couple, but also get to know him before our wedding. He is such an upbeat, funny, personable, genuine and kind soul and has such a calming presence.
He welcome us into his Church (Christ the King) with open arms even though we are not Catholic, and I'll forever cherish our memories we made with him!
Our ceremony went so smoothly, and we definitely made a friend in the process!!
Father Taylor did an excellent job as our officiant! We wanted an officiant who would take the time to get to know us as a couple and perform a ceremony that met our unique needs. Father Taylor did this and much more. He was very flexible finding time to meet with us, and we found his premarital counseling sessions incredibly valuable. He had a wide array of ceremony options to choose from, which allowed us to to really customize and make the day our own. He led our rehearsal dinner seamlessly (no small feat for a wedding party of 18) so that we were all confident on what to do during the wedding day. He was always professional, inclusive, and kind. We are so grateful to have chosen him as our officiant!
Father Taylor was the perfect choice for our wedding day! He was so professional and did a wonderful job. When we first spoke to him, we had nothing but good feelings. He's just a nice and respectful guy! Our families loved him too! So we canceled our other consultations with other possible officiants and booked him immediately. We received a large packet with a variety of choices of content and verbiage we could use to build our ceremony. It was a lengthy packet, but I loved having it as it made our ceremony process easy! He even mailed our wedding license afterwards so we didn't have to worry about it. Definitely a great guy with a big heart! Highly recommend!
Father Taylor Tracy was the best officiant we could've asked for! We opted for the pre-marital counseling before, which we highly recommend. It was a great reminder of what the day and process are all about and helped us remain focused on our relationship. Father Taylor took the time to get to know us and that made the ceremony that much more meaningful. He provided recommendations and guidance for a personalized and thoughtful ceremony. We are so grateful to Father Taylor for helping make our day so special!
He was wonderful as our officiant! Such a fun, kind hearted and easy person to get along with! Loved every minute we had with him. He made our day absolutely perfect in every way!
Father Taylor was extremely personable, easy to talk to, and helpful.
We could not be happier with our experience with Father Taylor. He was very quick to communicate and always answered all my questions. He is not only an Amazing priest, but he is the Best kind of human. He did an outstanding job at our wedding and exceeded our expectations in every way. We adore him and highly recommend him for your wedding, too.
We had a great time with Father Taylor. He was great to work with - professional, kind, and very helpful. We found planning the wedding ceremony very easy. Would definitely recommend working with him!
Seamless. A great champion for our big day. Very simple, good communication, great person. Very pleased with Father Tracy and his officiating our big day.
We so enjoyed getting to know Father Taylor. He was so kind, flexible, and was great about customizing the ceremony to make it our own. We opted to do counseling with him leading up to the ceremony, and it was one of the best parts of the planning process. It was a great reminder of the real reason behind the whole wedding, and Father Taylor was so easy to talk to. He gives great advice, and really got to know us as a couple. On the day of the wedding, he was an absolute professional and everything was a breeze. We’re so glad that Father Taylor was a part of our special day.
We are so happy we hired Rev. Taylor Tracy. He worked with us to create the perfect ceremony and really spent the time getting to know us beforehand, which made our experience both personal and professional. He did such a great job making the ceremony about us as a couple. We would 100% recommend him!!!
Rev. Taylor Tracy performed the ceremony at our wedding. He did an amazing job guiding us through the process, performing the ceremony, and helping keep everything on track the day of the wedding. We felt supported every step of the way and couldn't have been happier with how our wedding turned out. Our families loved the service!
Father Taylor was so easy to work with and super flexible!! We loved having him be apart of our big day and we are honestly so sad we don’t have anymore wedding meetings with him! He is absolutely amazing!!
Father Taylor was a joy to work with! He made the process so smooth and offers a wide variety of wedding packages making it easy to create your perfect ceremony :) He is responsive and puts so much thought and care into your special day!
Father Taylor was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our big day! We wanted something non traditional but also with a few catholic pieces added in here and there as I am catholic myself. My husband has never belonged to a church so I definitely wanted a hint of catholic in our ceremony ! He nailed it and we were so happy with it! He was so accommodating, incredibly kind, is always a text/call/email away and just an all around genuine person who is there is make your day that much more special. We loved him and highly, highly recommend him!!! Thank you Father Taylor!!
Priest Taylor Tracy did an amazing job as our officiant at our wedding! Not only was he our officiant, but he also was our premarital counselor. During our sessions we were given a book and helpful advice on how to help make our marriage last. As for our ceremony, we were given a variety of options to pick from and the ability to add our own stuff like a wine unity ceremony. He did a wonderful job making us feel comfortable and ready for the ceremony. We absolutely recommend Priest Taylor Tracy as an officiant and counselor!!!
Father Taylor was wonderful! He was funny and relatable during our pre marital counseling sessions with him, while also really giving us good advice on things to think about as a couple to strengthen our relationship. He stayed in contact with us throughout a year of planning and was super responsive whenever we needed him! Highly recommend him as your officiant, you won’t be sorry!!
Father Taylor did such a fantastic job, we couldn't be happier! He made a genuine effort to get to know us and help us craft the perfect ceremony on our big day. He is a pleasure to get to know and to work with, and we highly recommend him!!
Father Taylor was amazing during the months leading up to our ceremony and on our big day. He provided a large packet so we could customize our ceremony however we’d like. It was so fun going through all the options and father Taylor was open to anything we’d like to add or customize. He was a constant support throughout the wedding planning process and helped ease all wedding nerves. It was truly a perfect day and our venue manager even said it was the best ceremony they have ever had. :)
Father Taylor was amazing! He helped us every step of the way to ensure we were prepared for our wedding day and helped collaborate with us to make it unique and special to us.
Rev. Tracy was amazing to work with for our Catholic Ceremony. He met with us, and listened to our ideas. We had planned a wedding at our local parish church in California, but it was canceled last year due to COVID. We decided to move it to Kansas City where I am from and to celebrate with more family nearby. Rev. Tracy is an amazing priest with strength and conviction. I am so happy he performed our marriage sacrament.
Fr. Tracy was so very kind and patient and very accommodating to pre wedding appointments, emails and calls as well as date and time of wedding. Was always very prompt even arriving early to rehearsal and ceremony.
Highly recommend Fr. Tracy.
It took us quite a while to find an officiant for our wedding, as we aren’t affiliated with a church right now and we wanted someone who would also be able to provide some premarital counseling as well as officiate, because we wanted someone to somewhat know us on our special day. We were so blessed to find Taylor! He was wonderfully easy to work with, and his background perfectly suited ours! We were able to pick through some passages and customize our ceremony a bit, which we LOVED! He was extra helpful the day of and wanted to everything he could to help and accommodate. Thanks so much, Taylor!! We really appreciate you!
There are so many things I can say about Taylor Tracy and Christ the King Progressive Catholic Church, however, I am going to lead with this: He is Amazing and Adaptable.
We had our wedding date set for March 21, 2020, about a year and a half before it was supposed to happen, and we hired Taylor to be our Officiant! We're not super religious, since we weren't having it in a Church, but we knew we wanted some form of religion there (some verses read and have a blessing/prayer and such) and Taylor/Christ the King was perfect for it.
He met up with us about a month or two before the wedding to go over the structure of the ceremony and to find out which bible verses we wanted, but I think what I liked most about the meeting was that he didn't just ask about the ceremony details. He asked us questions like "what do you guys do separately to de-stress, what do you do together, tell me how you met, what your favorite things about each other are, etc." it was more personal than formal, and I loved that because he was getting to know US and not just "the bride and groom I'm officiating for".
Fast forward to March 2020 when everything with Covid was happening and things were shutting down, including our Wedding Venue. Literally, THE WEEK OF. Things were so crazy and we cried because we thought we weren't going to have the wedding that we wanted, that we had waited to long for. Taylor wasn't having any of that. He worked with our photographer TO GET US MARRIED. We must have switched places so many times, to try to figure out which park was best for us, and Taylor was there the whole time calming us down and working with us, to make sure things went right.
I wouldn't have changed a thing. We are the ones in the photos attached to this page, on the red bridge. We had a simple and small elopement with Taylor, our photographer and our parents there. I don't think this would have been possible had it not been for the effort Taylor put into it. Even though he already married us, we are having a rescheduled celebration this October, and he is coming to do a blessing for us, as we do everything we were going to do... just not the vows and legal stuff!
We are so grateful to know Taylor and love what he is doing for all of his couples! Thank you so much!!!
