We are so happy we were able to find Ernie on short notice! We received numerous compliments from our guests about the ceremony delivered by Ernie. Ernie was very easy to work with and certainly eased the stress during the wedding process. He also went above and beyond to make it through the ceremony outdoors, as a perilous thunderstorm encroached upon us. Thankfully he made the decision to move inside at the perfect time. It made for quite the memory and we are so glad Ernie is part of it. We highly recommend Ernie for any couple, 100%! More...

We are so happy we came across Ernie on TheKnot! We were hesitant to have someone we didn't know MARRY US, it's such an intimate life moment and we just felt a little uneasy about having someone we hadn't known for a lifetime officiate our wedding. We couldn't have been more wrong... we are now SO thankful we found Ernie! He went above and beyond as our officiant. Throughout the planning process he met up with us and always was a text away with any questions we had regarding the Big Day. He gave the sweetest speech during our ceremony that left guests teary-eyed and something we will remember for a lifetime. He happily took on the task of mailing our marriage certificate for us - something we didn't want to think about when we wanted to soak in the moment and enjoy our honeymoon. We will absolutely recommend Ernie to our friends & family in the future, just as we'd recommend him to any of you! If you're hesitant, meet up with him, he's got your back! More...

Selecting Ernie was the best choice I made during my wedding venture, I followed him and watch as the reviews poured in, I knew I had to act fast, however I was a bit late and he had a wedding that day for that time, I was crushed, but Ernie came back with more options different time, place maybe, we made it work and I couldn't have been happier, he told our story beautifully, he listened and asked questions, his professionalism was amazing but felt like a great long lost friend by the end. Thank you for make our day, truly our day. More...

Ernie was fantastic. We enjoyed working with him and felt very comfortable sharing our special day with him. He took the time to get to know us and it showed during the ceremony when he included so many personal tidbits. Ernie is very flexible and will help you craft the ceremony you want. He also provided us with a lot of helpful resources that made it easier to write our own vows and think about special aspects of the wedding (like a unity ceremony). He was responsive and prompt which is always a good thing for a nervous bride and groom. We highly recommend him! More...

Ernie's services were second to none. He was easy to work with and did everything he could to get to know us. It was a very organic experience that ended up with a beautifully delivered ceremony. He was very friendly and flexible and helped our wedding day go smoothly. We were so grateful to have found Ernie and that he could be a part of our special day. Had we needed to make this choice again, we'd choose Ernie every time. 10/10 would recommend! More...

Don’t waste another minute, contact Ernie today before someone else sweeps him up on your wedding date. This is the officiant you want! He is responsive, competitively priced, flexible and will provide you with the ceremony perfectly suited for you. We met Ernie for coffee when we were shopping for someone to marry us, and hired him on the spot. He gave us ceremony ideas, samples of readings to choose from, took the time to learn about my husband and I... how we met, what we loved about each other, etc. we told him what we wanted our ceremony to be like, he showed up and made it happen. We highly recommend Ernie!!! More...

Couldn’t have been happier with choosing you Ernie, from the free consultation where you made sure we understood everything and how things would play out, to you making yourself available to questions at any given time or moment, straight down to when you came to check in on me moments before walking down the aisle. There wasn’t a single complaint or down side to hiring you. You made everything so comfortable. As if we had known you for quiet some time. And that’s something very comforting for a very nervous bride or groom. I appreciate everything you did for us on our special day. Thanks for kicking all the anxiety and pressure right in the butt!

Ernie did an amazing job officiating our wedding. Ahead of time he sent us many ideas and took time to get to know us and what were we looking for in a ceremony. After he put everything together I still had some last minute requests, he took time to prepare and squeeze into our ceremony! It was perfect! Thank you again so much on our special day. More...

What can I say other than good things about Ernie. From the very first time we met him, to the moment before he had to leave, he was everything a couple could want! He has a calming demeanor and assures the couple that this day is truly special and truly about them. It was amazing to have him included and to be made part of our special day. Ernie is flexible, communicative, and very passionate about his work and words. At my wedding there wasn't a dry eye in the room as he unfolded our personal story to our guests; which amazed everyone since we met Ernie in person once! I will always recommend his services to anyone who is needing an officiant for their wedding! Thank you so much Ernie! More...

My husband and I loved working with Ernie! It can be difficult to determine whether someone is the right fit with just a phone call, but we felt confident booking with Ernie after our first conversation. We wanted our ceremony to reflect our Catholic upbringings without being preachy and stuffy. Ernie answered all of our questions in a timely manner and met with us in person to finalize details. He definitely made us feel comfortable with how everything would go down. One of the top compliments we received was how lovely our ceremony was. Thank you, Ernie, for celebrating with us! More...

Ernie was great in every way. Tiffany and I are so glad we chose him. First, we did our backyard wedding at the last minute. Ernie helped us every step of the way. We never had to worry. On the day of the wedding he was early and made everybody feel at ease. He did our ceremony exactly the way we wanted and I have to say he was a really good speaker, his words were beautiful and heartfelt. You can tell that he believes in what he is doing. My best man (he's 69) said it was the most moving wedding he's ever been to and I have to give Ernie a lot of credit for that. We highly recommend him in every way. More...

Ernie did a stellar job at my wedding in July. He is easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable after just one meeting, which was VERY important to us. He made it easy to pick what we wanted and tailored our ceremony to our needs. He also gave us some great advise for the wedding! The price was outstanding too. We only found one officiant for a better price and he didn't match our style. He was well worth it and if I had to do it all over again, I would chose Ernie. More...
