Father Borda officiated our 10.22.23 interfaith wedding alongside Rabbi Ron Broden. Father Broda took the time to meet with us several times throughout the planning process via phone and video call. We appreciated his openness to adapting to our ceremony drafts and his working so well alongside the Rabbi Broden. We received many compliments on the wedding ceremony and how well the officiants meshed. Highly recommended.

Details: Wedding • Interfaith • 151 - 200 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal • Date and time has not yet been chosen

Father Owen was the best. My husband and I were looking for someone to officiate our wedding but tie in aspects of our two faiths and cultures. Father Owen was very timely in his response and was able to really listen to our story and figure out the best approach for our ceremony. Additionally, it was an outdoor wedding and very hot outside, Father Owen was able to read the audience and adapt to make sure each aspect of our ceremony was accomplished without prolonging the ceremony. I highly recommend Father Owen!

Details: Wedding • Catholic • 201 - 300 guests • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal
