Romantic Wedding in Connecticut

Earnest is the absolute BEST! We honestly do not have enough good things to say about him and everything that he did for us to make the process so easy. He is the most kind, gentle, accommodating, thoughtful, and helpful person to celebrate your wedding day with. He helped us with a wonderful recommendation on a place to stay the night before and then met us at the Groton Town Hall as we were getting the paperwork together. We left everything up to him in regards to finding a peaceful place where we could go for the ceremony and he picked a beautiful spot. He can accommodate any type of ceremony you are looking for and only has your best interest in mind. He is just simply one of those people that makes you feel good when you meet him. Even if we did not elope with him in CT, we would of loved to have him officiate a real wedding. We STRONGLY encourage you to reach out to Earnest if you are coming to CT to get married. Additionally, the people that work in the Groton Clerk's Office are super sweet as well. The whole process was a dream come true and it was all because of Earnest.

Ernest is NOT Only the BEST Choice, He is the ONLY Choice. Ernest was there for Us from Start to Finish. We couldn’t have been any happier w/ Our Wedding Day. This Couple refers to Our Ceremony as the BEST Day of Our Lives. He gets the Credit for that. Ernest is both compassionate & knowlegable. The Experience could NOT have been Any Easier. Forget Romantic, It was MAGICAL. Call Ernest Adams & Get Married in CT. You will be Delighted. We are ETERNALLY Grateful to Him. Thanks Ernest, You are the BEST!!! Robert & Colleen H.

What a nice man!!! My wife and myself were planning on eloping. And, we did...Called Ernest spontaneously with an immediate response from him. He was very understanding and flexible with our request. Especially when we called with a last moment change. We moved our "wedding" to be a few days before the original request, and he was more than pleased to assist with our requests. I'll say it again. WHAT A NICE MAN! We are very proud to have had Ernest marry us. It was, and always be, the best day of our lives. Thank you so much Ernest Adams!

The reviews on him are extremely mixed. I actually choose him without looking at the reviews and only now did I notice how mixed those reviews are. Well, simply put he was wonderful! Our original officiant canceled last minute (and I mean last minute). Not only did Mr. Adams make himself available for us, he was extremely professional, polite, well mannered, well dressed, and most important in my book on time! He also didn't even blink an eye when I decided I wanted to do the ceremony in a different location (after he already arrived at the agreed upon location) and he was pleased to walk up the hill and through the graveyard to get to the little church I wanted to do the ceremony in front of. He was great! I don't know why he doesn't have 5/5 reviews.

We met with Ernest because he married some friends of ours and he came highly recommended. He was nice from the get-go and was always willing to come to our home to meet with us. He was also willing to marry us and then do the real ceremony over a year later. He seemed very organized and like he knew what he was doing. And then the rehearsal dinner happened. Wow. That day was crazy for us. All of our family and friends that were attending the wedding were from out of state so they were all lost trying to find the park because I suck at giving directions. He said that we HAD to have all members of the wedding party before we could do the rehearsal and he had to leave soon to do a wedding and if we didn't do the rehearsal then HE COULD NOT DO OUR WEDDING THE NEXT DAY. Are you kidding me? He brought me to tears. Telling me that he possibly wouldn't do our wedding the NEXT day. At that point my amazing MOH decided that I would have nothing to do with him the rest of the day because he was stressing me out so much. She was the communicator with him from there on out. He started being very rude to her and then he said he would not communicate with her the rest of the day! Finally, all of our friends and family had shown up and we could start the rehearsal. And by that time the rest of the family and friends had shown up and were talking and he yelled at them to all be quiet! Yelled! At that point, I just wanted to get through the rehearsal without having a meltdown. The next day was the wedding, and I was honestly scared that he wasn't going to show up, but he did. I missed the whole fight with him and our DJ because its Ernest's way or the highway and he only wanted to use HIS microphone, not the DJS. And his damn microphone didn't even work so our family and friends couldn't even hear our vows. He is a nice man but has very bad people and business skills. Please avoid using him.

He got the job done. He performed the ceremony perfectly, filed the marriage license, none of the guests thought anything of it. We met with him twice before the ceremony, and we really liked him. However, at the rehearsal, he literally yelled at the staff at the venue. He decided that he was completely taking over the entire rehearsal, and yelled at the wedding coordinators whenever the chimed in with important information we needed to know. He told them that they could either watch silently or leave. When they tried to tell him that they had important information for us as well, he raised his voice over them, repeating, "EITHER WATCH SILENTLY, OR LEAVE!" I was so shocked, I didn't know what to do. He even said to them, "I've done a lot of weddings before, I know what I'm doing." Well, they've done a lot of weddings before and they know what they are doing!!! I told him that I wanted everyone's cooperation and wanted all the information I needed from everyone. He did not challenge me, but still didn't listen to them. The really awful way he treated the coordinators really made me mad. Honestly, if he didn't already have our marriage license, I would have told him we'd find another officiant and not to bother coming. I was so embarrassed that someone I hired would treat other professionals in the same field (or any other person) so poorly. And at the end of the rehearsal, he actually gave them his card! My bridesmaids were terrified of him because they didn't want to get yelled at. My father almost started something with him, but I asked him not to. The coordinators did the professional thing and let him do his thing without making a scene and waited for him to leave to give us the rest of the important information we needed. I apologized to them profusely and they understood it wasn't my fault. I was so disappointed with him at our actual ceremony, I didn't even want to look at him. We were happy he decided not to stay for dinner at the reception because I wouldn't have wanted him there anyway. I do not recommend him at all!! Find someone else!!

He came through at the last minute for my husband and I. He made this wedding possible. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!
