- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Absolutely!! We met with Father Lenny after reading pages and pages of glowing reviews. We first met with him and his wife,Kathy, at their house and immediately felt at ease. We were completely open in talking about what we were and were not looking for in an officiant and after 4 hours of discussion, (a fun 4 hours that seemed to fly bye) knew that we found our perfect choice.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? He was able to really touch on our personalities and what he had gathered from us during our initial meeting and our emails. It was amazing how well he knew us in such a shrt time, but it made the ceremony so personal. The ceremony was a perfect blend of spirituality and tradition without being stuffy. He touched on many sweet ideas of love and marriage, while still being humerous and light hearted.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? He wrote out personalized vows for us to read to each other. We had been going back and forth about whether or not we wanted to do that and when he offered, once we read what he had written, we couldn't have put it into better words ourselves. Everything he put in our ceremony were things we couldn't have possibly verbalized as beautifully as he.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? How incredibly light hearted and funny Father Lenny was. They thought his whole sermon was extremely touching. We had many guests from very different religious/spiritual backgrounds in attendance, and he reached each one of them in some particular way. They were all just completely in awe of how it seemed like he had known us for years!
Review: Father Lenny is the BEST, don't go elsewhere!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Now living in CA, we were nervous planning our wedding from across the country. The moment I spoke to Father Lenny, my mind was at ease. He really listned to us and made clear that he was going to be there for us throughout the process, not just the day of our wedding. And he was!
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? We were flying in to do some last minute wedding preparations and Father Lenny made himself available to us even when we needed to change our meeting time the night before. It seemed he would have spent the whole day with us if thats what we needed, to feel ready for the big day. He was also willing to skype with us to go over details!
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? He really took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. He came up with so many personalized ideas and elements to implement into the ceremony. He was quick to make up a draft of the ceremony after we spoke and always left it open to review and change.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? They liked the Irish Binding ritual that represented where "tying the knot" came from.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Absolutely! The first time we had met Father Lenny, it was as though we had known him forever. He invited us to his home and took the time to connect with us and learn about our relationship. Our one hour consult turned into 3 hours and we enjoyed every minute of it. We felt very relaxed as we talked with him and his wife Kathy about everything – how we met, how he proposed, our families and our wishes for the wedding ceremony. He took notes throughout our meeting and later used those notes to write a personalized ceremony for us. It was wonderful! Father Lenny took great care of our special requests and made himself available to us 24/7. He always made us feel comfortable and put the stresses of wedding planning at ease.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Father Lenny offered to write our personalized vows which we accepted graciously. He said no pressure to use them but wanted to take a stab at writing them based on his understanding of our relationship. The vows were spot on! We couldn’t have written them any better ourselves!
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Every aspect of our wedding ceremony was personalized. We wanted certain aspects of the ceremony to include religion in a way that was both appropriate for us and our guests. Father Lenny wrote the entire ceremony and it was just perfect! It had a beautiful flow to it and a mix of traditional and religious and was a direct reflection of our personalities and relationship. So beautiful! Father Lenny also introduced us to the idea of a Sand Unity Ceremony which was a nice touch for our outdoor ceremony.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Everyone loved the ceremony! It was beautifully written which kept people interested, his sense of humor kept our nerves at ease, and his timing kept people happy! It was perfect! I honestly can’t think of anything I would have done differently.
Review: Father Lenny was a BLESSING!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? On our first meeting, Father Lenny and his wife Kathy made us feel very comfortable right from the greetings (hugs) to what to exepect on our ceremony. He reviewed with us on what a typical ceremony looks like.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Father Lenny learned about our culture values and incorporated them on our Ceremony He promised to be there for us even after the wedding. This means alot to us.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? After our meeting with Father Lenny he wrote a ceremony that was tailored to our preferences. We wanted both sand and lock box ceremony. He also included the moment of silence that we requested to remember our loved ones who are no longer with us. His delivery was filled with sense of humor and received a lot of smiles from our guests.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? The best comment came from a guest who said that she has been to several wedding ceremonies but our ceremony was the best she has ever attended.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Father Lenny and his gracious wife, Kathy, are two of the nicest people that I have ever met. I felt completely comfortable with them and look forward to many more years of friendship.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? A fabulous and unexpected service that Father Lenny offered was that his ceremony would be custom written for us. The ceremony and vows truly captured our spirit and our essence as a couple and on the day of the wedding, all of our guests were as moved as we were.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Our ceremony was personalized with a suggestion that Father Lenny made, which was to have a love letter ceremony during the wedding. This was a love letter that my now husband and I wrote to each other the evening before our wedding which is intented to be opened on our 10 year anniversary. This letter is to remind us and help us celebrate the excitement that we felt the evening before our marriage.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Our guests enjoyed hearing our vows, which were written by Father Lenny, and the intimate tone that the wedding had. He spoke to us and our guests with a wonderful familiarity. Some of our vows included, "I promise to Love you, get you floor tickets to the Celtics, and take you to Red Sox games. And win or lose, I will always be there, by your side." This vow got a laugh, but truly captured who we are as a couple and had a lot of meaning for us.

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Fr. Lenny was like family to us by the time our wedding came. We did not know him previous to hiring him to be our officiant but by the time it was over him and his wife, Kathy were friends of our. We live in South Carolina so when we chose our wedding officiant we had to choose someone we could rely on that would learn our personalities and our sense of style from such a far distance away from one another. Father Lenny and his wife Kathy made time for us and got together with us every chance I could get home to MA. He would invite me to his home and what was supposed to be a 30 minute stay would turn into 2 hours because him and Kathy were so easy to talk to. They both are some of the sweetest people I know
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? There is not much I didn’t expect from Father Lenny, I did a lot of research prior to hiring him and saw nothing but great reviews. Father Lenny did add two things to my wedding that were unexpected though, 1) His wife Kathy who I adore. She made it so easy to open up to in such a short time. She has seen many weddings of Father Lenny’s and she was still so excited to see my ring and hear about my proposal like it was the first wedding she had ever been to. 2) His time, reliability and efforts throughout the wedding planning and the wedding itself. He went through some hard times with his family throughout the wedding planning and was so easy to stay in touch with even though he was busy with his own life. He was also in a lot of pain during the wedding as he was having some physical issues that he had to have surgery for a couple days after the wedding. He did not want to bother us with it or make us worry about it so we did not know about any of this pain until after the wedding was over. Most of the world would have cancelled or found a replacement to do the wedding but even though it hurt him to even stand, he did it! He was a trooper!
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Fr. Lenny did a lot to personalize our wedding. He got to know us in the days leading up to the wedding. He got to know our families as well so when the ceremony was actually happening his words were personal, he joked around with us because he knows we are humored people. He said things and did things that people that are close to us would say and do to us. He didn’t feel like a stranger marrying us, he felt like a friend marrying us.
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Father Lenny told us about a love letter box that we ended up incorporating into the ceremony. I’ve gotten a lot of comments about how great that idea was. A few people want to do it during their next anniversary and not open it up till 10 years later. We also had a lot of comments about how much fun we looked like we were having up at the alter. Our guests said it looks like we were laughing and having a great time as most wedding they attend the bride and groom look like they are bored and the ceremony is dull. Ours was a BLAST! Thanks Father Lenny!

- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? He definitely did! Fr. Lenny spoke with Andrew before the ceremony and certainly helped him relax. The great thing was we stayed in touch with Fr. Lenny regarding the ceremony so we both knew ahead of time what to expect and made both of us a bit more relaxed. His overall persona helped lighten the mood and made for an amazing ceremony.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Just the fact that Fr. Lenny was in constant contact with us regarding the ceremony. Following our meeting with him and Kathy, Fr. Lenny would send emails to check in and see how planning was going. Just think that nowadays, couples don't get that personal attention and we felt like we did!
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Again, after the meeting with Fr. Lenny and Kathy, he sent us a draft of the ceremony. The fact that Fr. Lenny allowed us to control how the ceremony would go, was fantastic!
- Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? That it was a typical ceremony. From the guys on guitar playing Huey Lewis and the Beatles to Fr. Lenny's easy going attitude, just made for a unique ceremony and perfect day for us. Thank you Fr. Lenny!
Review: A ceremony that reflected us perfectly!
