Blessed to Have Found Fr. Douglas!

Our experience could not have been more perfect! If you are looking for an officiant who genuinely cares about couples he is marrying...Fr. Douglas is the one. He takes the time to have real conversations to ensure he can give his absolute blessing. That was so importance to us. His sense of humor, friendliness, honesty and dedication to making our ceremony heartfelt and meaningful meant the world to us. Thank you Fr. Douglas.

Amazing Wedding Officiant

We chose Fr. Douglas of HOPE Ministries for our wedding officiant and could not have found a better fit for our wedding day. We had multiple conversations for months leading up to our big day about our relationship, religious views, plans for the future, and also what we wanted for our ceremony. We had an interfaith ceremony and he was able to incorporate traditions of both the Jewish and Catholic faiths seamlessly which was something that was very important to the both of us. We felt that we made a very strong bond with "Father Doug" and now consider him to be a friend. We would highly recommend HOPE for any of your wedding needs.
