Review: He Got to Know us Throught our Entire Engagement
10/28/2012
  • Lauren & Matt B

  • Wedding Date: 09/02/2012
  • Reviews Posted: 1

  • Yes. He was always very welcoming and helpful throughout our entire engagement. He was extremely approachable which made it comfortable to call or email him as needed. He was responsive and always giving us advice and answering our questions.
  • He added some humor, but kept the ceremony traditional and intimate at the same time. It was exactly what we wanted.
  • Father Lenny got to know both of us personally throughout our entire engagement, so writing the ceremony sort of flowed for him because he actually got to KNOW us. He even was there for us during some difficult times and helped us get thru. He knew what we wanted and did just that.
  • I've heard from everyone how it was a beautiful ceremony and that Father Lenny was funny and he did a great job. the wedding came across as if he had known us for years.

Review: What a Wonderful Ceremony !!!
10/28/2012
  • Steve & Kara C

  • Wedding Date: 09/30/2012
  • Reviews Posted: 1

  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Rev. Fr. Lenny was amazing and made us both feel very comfortable that everything was going to be okay. He knew how nervous I was and he helped by making me laugh, my favorite way to cope.
  • What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Rev. Fr. Lenny added a lot of humor and love and brought everyone together on a joyous occasion.
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Rev. Fr. Lenny met with us and took our personalities and stories seriously and then wrote a ceremony that would suit us. The reason I loved working with him besides that though, is because when I wanted to make changes to make the ceremony more "traditional" he didn't take offense, but adjusted it again to help me make it the way I wanted. <3
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? I think the best comments we got was just by seeing the smiles on people's faces and hearing them laugh. I loved that the wedding wasn't too long, but wasn't too short and that it was serious and about love, but also mixed with joy and humor.

Review: Turner Hill September Wedding

  • Peter & Kristy C

  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Absolutely!!! He was so calm, collected and tastefully funny that he kept us focused and smiling no matter how nervous we were or whatever issues outside our control arose. We were always confident that he would keep things moving smoothly and our guests engaged. He took the time to get to know us, so he felt like a close friend standing with us.
  • What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? We never expected him to spend so much time and effort getting to know us as individuals and a couple before the wedding. It really made for a much more personal experience. He and his wife Kathy were such kind and loving people that we immediately made a personal connection, making the whole ceremony that much more meaningful.
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Everything was personalized, from the various components of the ceremony that we chose to include, to the homily and blessings that he gave at the ceremony and dinner. Most importantly, by the time the wedding came around, we were good friends and he knew us well, so it did not feel like we were being married by a stranger.
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Several guests told us that they were very impressed by the officiant (Father Lenny), and that he was so cool up there depsite many things that went wrong outside his control, turning what could have been awkward moments into charming and funny stories for us. I think the best comment was that he saved us up there!

Review: It was the most Beautiful & Sentimental Ceremony
09/30/2012
  • Mr and Mrs G

  • Wedding Date: 08/04/2012
  • Reviews Posted: 1

  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Dave and I were comfortable working with Fr. Lenny from the first communication we had. He was always professional and yet made us feel loved and cared about. Fr. Lenny is truly a one-of-a-kind officiant. We have developed a bond with Fr. Lenny and Kathy that I do not think would have been created with any other officiant.
  • What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? When Fr. Lenny first explained the handfasting ceremony and the letterbox ceremony to us I started crying. These beautiful ceremonies were the perfect addition to our wedding and neither of us had ever heard of them before speaking with Fr. Lenny. He is creative in the ways he personalizes ceremonies and it makes the day so special.
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Father Lenny gave us many options for additions to and subtractions from the traditional Catholic ceremony. He customized the handfasting ceremony for us and allowed us to make whatever changes we deemed necessary. His willingness to create the perfect ceremony made it just that. We cannot say enough good things about Father Lenny!
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? People have been telling us, since the beginning of the wedding reception, that our ceremony was the most beautiful and sentimental ceremony they had ever attended. One of my mother's good friends said she could truly feel the connection between Dave and I and Fr. Lenny and that it made the ceremony the most touching she had ever witnessed.

Review: Father Lenny, so much more than just an Officiant!

  • Andy & Kim W

  • Wedding Date: 06/30/2012
  • Reviews Posted: 1

  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? From the moment we met Fr. Lenny, we immediately felt comfortable and at-ease. He was so easy to talk to and was very flexible. he was open to ideas about how we wanted our ceremony to be performed. He also gave us great ideas of things to include in the ceremony to make it that much more special.
  • What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Throughout the time from when we booked him until the day he performed our ceremony, we constantly kept in touch. We got to know him & his wife, Kathy on a friendly, personal level. We'd make plans to get together for dinner so he'd really be able to get to know us. By doing this, he was able to make our ceremony that much more personal using anecdotes he learned from all our dinners and time together.
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? He wrote our vows for us, and they weren't the run of the mill stuff. They were absolutely beautiful and perfect. And during the entire ceremony, he kept us feeling comfortable, adding little jokes here and there, when we saw we were tense.
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Quite a few people told us, that they loved the ceremony and especially the vows. They had never heard anything like them and thought they were very touching. They said it was as if Father Lenny had known us for years.

Review: Father Lenny is so sweet and really does Care!

  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? From the day I first spoke to Father Lenny I knew he was the person that I wanted to marry us. My fiance felt the same and it was all settled. He has such a sweet and loving spirit & You know that he really does care about your wedding ceremony. We planned our wedding for two years and Father Lenny was by our side through all of it. He was also there for me when I Lost my Mom.
  • What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? The premarital (Pre-Cana) counseling sessions were expected, but the way we felt when we left, was not. He really tightened our bond and just took off alot of stressors that was happening with us. We also had a torrential thunder and lightening storm right before I walked down the aisle. My guests got wet, but Father Lenny made the ceremony so wonderful, no one minded!
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We had so many components with the Readings, the Memorial, Candle Lighting and Letter Box, but he handled it all and even made some jokes to make every one laugh and feel comfortable, especially after the Rain Storm made us all run inside. We got so many praises from people at the wedding who just fell in love with Father Lenny, his personality and how he made us calm after the storm. His wife Kathy was absolutely wonderful and sweet and helped with the ceremony as well, since we didn't have a coordinator.
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? I have one guest who is going to get married and will be contacting Father Lenny. One other guest couldn't stop talking about the Rose and Letter Box part and just how meaningful and loving the ceremony was. I wish we had it on video!
