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!!

Re: Wedding October 1, 2011- Wainwright House, Rye NYShow DetailsHi Father Noel, You were absolutely incredible- our ceremony was magic. I don't know how to thank you enough. You created the perfect ceremony that was spiritual, sentimental, and with good laughs. I had SO MANY compliments on the ceremony and tons of people asking me "how do you know that priest?" or "where did you find that priest"...and they all finished with "he was so fantastic and enjoyable". Thank you so much for contributing to the best day of my life- I will be sending pictures in due course. You are so very talented and I wish you all the very best...

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

We wanted our own creative imprint on our ceremony
Officiants we interviewed were often hesitant to allow us this
creative moment.
That is until we had the good fortune to hear of Ceremonies by F. Noel.
He was affable, down to earth, very supportive in his encouragement to
both of us to be creative.
He was a delight to work with and was easily available whenever we
needed him. His responses to our e-mails were near instant and we were
blessed to have him officiate.
We recommend him without reservation!

He made a very tense situation relaxed and upbeat. My wedding

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.

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!!

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.
