We had to give the full five stars for Fr. Noel because he was what one would hope for to be part of a lasting memory, and we say that without reservation. Kind, flexible, professional and interested in our needs. I can't imagine a better experience. Thank you!Fr. Noel -- what a wonderful person!

Fr. Noel was the perfect officiant for our ceremony. My husband and I had a hard time deciding on an officiant because he is Catholic and I am not, Fr. Noel was able to provide the perfect blend to create a ceremony that we both loved along with our families. He was easy to work with and has a great sense of humor. So many people came up to us after the wedding to say how much they loved him.

We loved having Fr. Noel officiate our ceremony. He was very responsive to our questions throughout the planning process, and he gave us some great ideas for structuring our ceremony. He is very flexible as to what you can include in your wedding as far as readings, prayers, etc., as long as you keep the components you need for a legal marriage ceremony. Thank you Fr. Noel-we loved our ceremony, and so did our guests!

Fr. Noel did a very good job in our wedding ceremony. It was a civil and religious ceremony and it came out very well. It feels like I get married in the church even though it was civil wedding. His fee is affordable compare to other officiant we encounter. Very professional. Highyly recommended!!

I have to be perfectly honest... Fr Noel made my wedding day!! He was perfect. He was both professional and friendly. He made our services all about us. Our family and friends have talked about our ceremony for the last two months. (6-11-11) I would highly recommend him!!

We searched for the perfect vendors-we are so detail oriented- and of all the officiant-Ceremonies by FR. Noel turned out to be a true gem!Very well priced, relative to the competition, he was hands on from the first day. Quick to respond and always available. When we had difficulty meeting him at his office, he consented to meet us at our home.he allowed us to take care of every detail and gave us some wonderful pointers when it came to being relaxed on the day.Highly recommended!

Even though my bride's daughter held up the wedding for a hour so all her friends could arrive, Fr. Noel still was able to make it a extraordinary day.He made a very tense situation relaxed and upbeat. My wedding was very informal and a lot of fun. My bride is giving me a hard time, she wants to do it again next year. I hope she won't be late for that one too.

Fr. Noel was absolutely fantastic from the moment we contacted him right through to the prompt filing of our marriage cerfificate! He took the time to meet with us and get a feel for the type of ceremony we wanted and then executed it beautifully!

Father Noel performed our wedding ceremony in December and it was wonderful. We had fexiblity in creating our own ceremony and Father Noel added warmth and humor. During the reception several guests told us they loved our ceremony and they were sure Father Noel was a friend of the family!

I found Father Noel through a search on LIWeddings website. I placed a phone call and he returned in within a few hours. After speaking with him, and letting him know what we wanted for our wedding ceremony, we decided to meet in person. During the interview, he took time to learn about me and I felt very comfortable. He is a sweet, kind, gentleman who is a great listener. I explained in detail what we were hoping for and he listened and asked questions. He was really willing to do whatever we wanted to make our ceremony special and personal. My husband and I wanted a traditional Catholic ceremony, with a couple of twists (we did a Celtic hand fastening). We decided to ask him to do our ceremony in NYC. Father Noel kept in touch with me on a regular basis, via email or phone calls. His response to any of my questions was almost immediate. I felt at ease. He emailed me a few days prior to the ceremony and we spoke on the phone to go over things. The day of the wedding, he showed up to meet with my husband prior to the ceremony. The wedding was beautiful. Father Noel was amazing. Everything went as planned. There were several moments in the ceremony where he made everyone laugh (he has a great sense of humor). Our guests still talk about how beautiful the ceremony was, and because it was so personal, many of them thought he was a friend of the family. Our parents (all Roman Catholic) were thrilled, and so were we. We would highly recommend him.

It was a pleasure have Fr. Noel be the one to conduct our ceremony. He was great at getting back to my emails and was willing to change the date with short notice. He made our families feel welcome in his apartment and was very professional and friendly. He made our wedding day a pleasant and enjoyable experience, and calmed our nerves with his relaxed demeanor. I highly recommend him!

We LOVED our wedding and it was mostly in part to Fr. Noel Clarke. When we met with Fr. Noel, we had just been told we were unable to get married in the Catholic Church we had been attending because it was not the church in our zipcode. We were devestated and confussed and decided to start looking at alternatives. We came across Fr. Noel - a wonderful gentleman specializing in Catholic weddings and non-traditional spiritual ceremonies. He is open and loving and accepting...and funny!! Our family and friends were cracking up and thought he added that extra something special to our ceremony! He also worked with us on writing our own vows and prayer and encouraged us along the way with his gentle spirit and kindness. Call him and meet with him and you will know instantly what I mean!!

I found Father Noel through the internet. My now husband and I have been together for over 13 years and we never had the time to get married. We finally decided to make the time and planned a small intimate wedding in less than 10 days. We met Father Noel and was very happy on how down to earth and picked up on who we really are. Our guests commented on how the ceremony was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they ever saw. He was warm and had a wonderful sense of humor.

Thanks to Father Noel, we were able to have the ceremony of our dreams and keep our family and our own intentions intact and content. He is highly understanding of unique familial circumstances and advises you without judging. Our event was an absolute delight and he kept us calm and stress-free with his responsiveness and advice. We truly thank him

Fr. Noel was the officiant for our wedding in Sep. 2010 in Westchester County, NY. I can't recommend him highly enough. He had a perspective on marriage and wedding ceremonies that matched our own but, more generally, he was thoughtful and warm and, from the start, we felt that he would fill the role of officiant wonderfully. Fr. Noel understood our need to blend our families' traditions with our own less-traditional sensibilities. He encouraged us to personalize our ceremony, but then took the time to learn about some of the Indian customs that we wanted in our marriage service (he pulled it off like a pro!). Our family and guests thought he was great (& funny!) and he delivered a memorable marriage service that we both absolutely loved.

Father Noel is a well versed, well dressed, polished professional. He acknowledged all the guests and based on just one phone conversation he incorporated our humorous nature into the ceremony. Our guests told us our ceremony was the best they've ever been to and that the Priest was outstanding. I hope in ten years Father Noel will be able to officiate our vow renewals.

I am so thankful that we found Fr. Noel to officiate our wedding! During the planning process he made us feel completely at ease, and was tremendously helpful in providing examples to help us structure our own ceremony. He was professional and engaging and warm. Highly recommended!
