October 11, 2025We truly believe that our wedding would not have been possible without Fr. Tom. We were so lucky to find him! It is hard to find an officiant who can both do a mixed language ceremony (Polish and English) and is flexible in the way they perform the ceremony. Father Tom got to know us and our families and wrote the ceremony so that it would be meaningful and beautiful for everyone. He came to our rehearsal dinner to get to know our families, and spoke to guests at the wedding. It made the ceremony much more meaningful, because he really knew us and our guests. The ceremony itself was beautiful, and we highly recommend him.

September 28, 2025The ceremony was exactly what we wanted. Traditional and romantic. Father Tom was warm and great to work with. He spent time with our loved ones after the ceremony. We had several people tell us how wonderful he was.
