We are truly happy to have found Father Tom to officiate our wedding. I’m Catholic and my husband is not, and when we couldn’t find a church to accept us, he did with open arms. He provided a beautiful bilingual service with readings and incorporating lazo, arras, anillos, biblia y rosario, velas, and the opportunity to pray to la Virgin de Guadalupe. He was great with communication, guiding us, making us feel comfortable, and making our ceremony true to us. Mil gracias Father Tom.

Fr. Pels, was not only excellent and courteous, but he was definitely beyond kind and delicate to our specific need. As a same-sex couple, it was hard for us to find someone that would officiate our wedding, and I completely believe that Fr. Pels was sent to us by God. We couldn’t be happier with the event, and even though it was just the three of us, it made it means so much to the two of us that he was able to help us in our time of need. I would recommend him any day for any special location And any other location that would require his service. God bless you Fr. Pels.

Father Tom came to the rescue when I was scrambling to find an officiant for our wedding less than two weeks out. Just one quick phone call and he literally delivered everything I asked for the day of the ceremony. Everyone kept asking where I found such a great officiant! 1000% recommend.

Father Tom did a phenomenal job officiating our wedding! He met with us ahead of time to learn about us as a couple and he made the ceremony feel personal to us.

Father Tom did a great job officiating our wedding! He worked with us on our wedding script and was very easy to work with. Everything went smoothly on our wedding day. Our marriage license was lost in the mail or county office, and he took the time to drive down to the county clerk to help us fix the issue, which we really appreciated! We had a very positive experience working with him.
