We enjoyed having the tradition and style of a Catholic wedding without having to go through all of the processes required by the Roman Catholic Church. Fr. Milton offered us several different types of ceremonies - from traditional Marraige Rite to very non-traditional. We were able to tailor the ceremony for our specific wants and needs. We've received several compliments from our guests about Fr. Milton's presentation and personality. He was very personable and fun!

Fr. Milton really put us at ease about the ceremony and was able to work us into his schedule on very short notice. He was very professional and the ceremony was exactly what we asked for. i would recommend him highly.

When we first met with Father Milton, he was very friendly and all about letting us have the ceremony we wanted, so we were not worried. Two weeks before the wedding, I contacted him to confirm everything, and he did. The day of our wedding, everything was set to go, we were all there...except the officiant! We waited, and waited. Finally, my brother had to call. Turns out Father Milton had sent Patrick, his assistant, instead, and had given him the wrong place, the wrong time, and the wrong ceremony! He didn't even have our names!! So, our wedding was forty-five minutes late, and we he did finally show up, we started. Part way into the ceremony, my husband and I realized that it was NOT the non-denominational, not really religious ceremony that we had wanted. My aunt who was suppose to read wasn't ever given a cue. The worse part was that there was absolutely nothing we could do about it at that point! We just had to go with it! When he started to perform Catholic rites over our rings, my husband (the groom) had to lean over and tell him no. This flustered the officiant so much that he then messed up the rest of the ceremony. So, essentially, our wedding was really messed up by this vendor. The rest of our wedding was beautiful, and we are grateful to be married, but it was no thanks to Father Milton or his co-workers! And we never heard a word of apology from them either!

Father Milton was amazing. He was flexible with the kind of service we wanted. Happily included some unorthodox additions to the ceremony seamlessly and was a calming presense through out the whole planning period for this nervous bride! He was very responsive to emails and in person meetings. He provided the perfect level of humor to the ceremony to keep the attendees engaged while still focused on the purpose of the ceremony, getting married! It was clear from the first contact with Father Milton that he was focused on one thing, giving us the perfect wedding ceremony tailored just for us. I cannot recommend Father Milton or the White Robed Monks of St. Benedict enough!

Father Milton did a great job. If you want someone 100% by the book, then don’t look to Father Milton. He has his own flair and ways of performing a ceremony, which was fine for us because we are both pretty open people. My only complaint is that I wish he had informed us a bit more at the rehearsal dinner. He told us he would be telling us what to do and when at the ceremony, but I think everything could have been more fluid if we had spent five minutes explaining the little details such as which side of the unity candle the bride/groom stand at, what to do when we blow out the candles, etc. However he officiated the ceremony wonderfully, added a little tid-bit that we wanted in there and was more than willing to modify his ceremony for our needs. Also he is employed by donations, so he doesn’t have a set price for his services which was great for two college kids on a budget. We were given the option to pay him based on what we felt his services were worth, not some weird set price.

Father Milton also performed my Matron of Honor's wedding so I had a heads up. He is absolutely fabulous! He is funny and witty and really worked with us to make our wedding ceremony everything I have ever dreamed of! All of our guests are still talking about him. I loved that we could customize the ceremony and Father Milton worked with us to incorporate some things that were very special to us as a family. He can perform any type of ceremony you wish and the options of available aspects is incredible. He just has a way of making everyone comfortable and relaxed and our day was even better because of him. Thanks Father Milton, I'm sure I'll be seeing you again because everyone I know is passing on your info!

Father Milton was fantastic! He was a joy to talk to and work with. He made every one feel relaxed and he kept everyone from falling asleep. He made every single person at my wedding smile. The guest are still talking about him and how much fun he was. We loved him! Highly recommend him and his services! I'm Mormon and my husband is Catholic. I wanted my Bishop there and Father Milton welcomed him and had no problem working with him. He was truly wonderful!

Father Milton was wonderful! He was open and flexible, allowing us to incorporate traditions from several different religions into our ceremony. Father Milton was personable and funny, both in the planning stages and on the wedding day. He also is reassuring and helped make the day of the wedding comfortable and as stress- free as possible. Father Milton was a pleasure to work with and provided a beautiful, personalized ceremony. Thank You!

I had sent a copy of my ceremony to this vendor and it was forgotten. i brought another copy to the ceremony and the ceremony still did not start as i had written. also got the grooms name wrong 3 times. He was nice and funny at times but felt like it didn't matter that i had spent all that time preparing. after the ceremony I couldn't find him and he was not there to do the meal blessing as i had requested. found the best man to say the blessing at the meal instead.

Make sure your priest is available the night of your rehearsal. We had a miscommunication and ours wasn't able to make it.

Father Milton was absolutely wonderful. He knows how to do weddings, he's hilarious, and our ceremony was perfect. I wish I lived in Houston so I could see him more often.

I was satisfied with using Catholics Without a Church for our ceremony. I liked having a consultation to go over what you want in the ceremony and meet each other. Everything was exactly like we planned and timely.

Father Milton is patient and understanding. He has a talent of making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Our wedding would not have been the same without him.
