Father Owen officiated our wedding a few days ago and he was nothing short of excellent. He was prompt, attentive, and caring. He responded to us very quickly anytime we reached out over the year and a half between booking and the actual ceremony. He answered any and all questions we had. He spoke clearly and concisely at the wedding itself. He even grabbed a towel to dab my forehead as I was sweating during our outdoor wedding. We can not thank him enough for he participation and we highly recommend him to anyone needing a priest for their wedding

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
