My FH and I have opted to not have a Catholic church ceremony, and get married in the gardens at Crest Hollow.
Does anyone know a minister/officiant that can host a Catholic-ish type ceremony outside of the church? I've looked into a priest, however, I'm told that a priest will not marry you in a Catholic cermemony outside of a church.
Look forward to any responses you might have.
Thanks!

Re: Looking for Officiant - with Catholic twist
Call Father Bob Allmen 63l-728-2633
He married us at Atlantica. He was a Catholic Priest and now I think he's technically a 'reformed' priest. He'll do a traditional Catholic ceremony, minus the Eucharist or a contemporary ceremony where you can choose non-Biblical readings. he's SUPER nice and he gave us a gorgeous ceremony.

Re: Looking for Officiant - with Catholic twist
Father B ob Allmen has a rep for double booking and not showing up and sending someone in his place last minute. My friend got married at Oheka a couple weeks ago and some priest she never met showed up a half hour late and didn't even get their names right! I was so sad for them.

Is it a reputation or did that happen once? HUGE difference. I'd be careful about bashing a priest
He came highly recommended to us & we know 2 other ppl who used him & they never had a problem. He was VERY organized with us. We loved him.
