Reverend Father Mentz officiated my daughter's wedding over the weekend ; from beginning to end, Father Bill's officiating was PERFECT!

Father agreed to drive a long distance, knew exactly what to do and when, and was reasonably priced, with all of it going to his Church.

Highly Recommend, Best Officiant!!

It couldn't have been any more perfect. He was so calm and at ease which definitely helped us. He timed it perfectly with moving around to the front of us and made it seem so natural. Many guests complimented as well and said they haven't been to a wedding ceremony like that before and appreciated all the love that was shown. Highly recommend!

Absolutely Amazing!!

Father Mentz made my special day extremely special. He helped me how to incorporate my deceased parent into the wedding ceremony. That was something incredibly important to me. Father Mentz understood that! He responded quickly and answered my many questions in a timely manner. You won’t go wrong if you choose Father Mentz. He helped my day be absolutely perfect!
