Dear Fr. Jef,
Thank you for beijng a part of our special day! We enjoyed the time we spent with you! The ceremony, your words were beautiful, wonderful and perfect. Your message truly resonated with us. Our guests loved you! They thought we had known each other for years! Everyone we talk to liked the fact that you walked down the aisle to face us from that direction giving an intimate feeling to the room. We will treasure our memory of that ceremony. We are so happy we found you. With our love and very best wishes, Catherine & Nick (April 2014)

Thank you for such a beautiful ceremony. So many guests came up to us told us how wonderful it was. The rest of the night was truely amazing. The food, music, everything was beautiful. People had a complete blast and they told us afterwards (Saturday, Sunday) that it went way too fast, that it was so much fun. It started off with you - giving a heartfelt and wonderful tribute. Thank you so much for making our day extra special!! - Emma & Connor (Oct 2012)
Hi Fr Jef!
We just got back from our honeymoon today. I wanted to thank you for such a beautiful ceremony you created and we received a lot of compliments from our guests. My 2nd maid of honor told me that the ceremony was the highlight of the whole wedding. We were so happy about our ceremony and you have done such a wonderful job!

Dear Fr. Jef-
I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the most beautiful and perfect wedding ceremony that you performed for my son Steve and his new wife, Jenni! It was so special and so meaningful, and it all starts with the celebrant! We couldn't have asked for more!! You were AWESOME! My sister-in-law stated that this wedding was probably the most wonderful wedding ceremony she has ever attended, and she's 61 years old. I feel te same! I am so glad that Seve discovered you and that you agreed to celebrate their wedding. It was an incredible day, and just the perfect weekend in Chicago all the way around!!! We'll all remember this for a lifetime! Thank you for everything,
Sincerely and with gratitude, Nancy P. (Groom's Mom!)
P.S. Loved how you went down in the center aisle for the homily... couldn't have been better...and your words...PERFECT! Thanks again! (Oct. 2011)

Ricardo and I just wanted to say once again thank you for the great job you did!! So many people came to us and told us how beautiful and touching the ceremony was and how great the words that you spoke were. We couldn't have asked for more. It was truly a wonderful ceremony.

Fr. Jef-
We just wanted to thank you again for making our ceremony so special and personal. You are truly gifted. We are so glad that we found you!
On a personal note, I know I can be very cynical about religion but you helped me to see the spiritual in my relationship and myself. The union of the traditional and creative in our ceremony was flawless thanks to your guidance. It really felt like "us". We received so many compliments in your honor at the reception - Thanks again for everything! We'll be in touch.
