My husband Patrick and I got married October 14th,2017 at Mill On The River in South Windsor, CT. Fred has been amazing. Though he is going through some back problems he still attended and made our day very special. He made sure everything ran smoothly and we can't thank him enough. Though a few things went wrong he was there every step of the way. He even helped to make sure the train of my dress wasn't hanging because no one else could figure out how to do it. Fred is nice and funny and he gave us amazing ideas to have a beautiful ceremony. I would suggest having him as an officiant to anyone. He included all religions and different traditions and everyone was extremely pleased. Thank you Fred for giving us an amazing wedding weekend!

Fred was one of the best decisions I made when deciding what to do and who to book. My photograqphers, who have been doing their job for many years, said Fred was the best they had every seen. He went above and beyond what you would expect someone officiating the wedding to be responsible for, including helping with pictures, sitting people near the aisle for better pictures, and he even brought me a couple of desserts to try at our reception! I would recommend Fred to anyone looking for someone who is not only capable and professional, but also easy-going and ready to help anywhere he can.

To Have Fred be the officiant in our wedding was the best decision we could have made. He made the occasion perfect and guided us through the whole process without a glitch.
