Father John was so patient with us. He took the time to get to know us, understand our wants, and was amazing with his communication throughout the whole process. He wrote out our ceremony plan/speech before hand so we could change anything we didn’t want and we knew exactly what to expect. He showed up early to the ceremony, giving us peace of mind that there was nothing to worry about. I cannot stress enough how wonderful his communication was. When you’re juggling so much when planning a wedding, having someone who communicates well makes planning so much less stressful. I would highly recommend his service to anyone looking and am so happy we chose him to help join us in holy matrimony.
