Unforgettable Service
Rev. Kevin didn’t simply officiate our wedding — he shepherded us into our marriage. He was present in every conversation, every preparation, every prayer. His words carried weight, his guidance carried wisdom, and his blessing felt sacred. You could feel how personally invested he was in our union — not just the ceremony, but the covenant. Because of him, our wedding was not just beautiful — it was holy, intentional, and unforgettable.

Christmas Eve Wedding
We had the most incredible Christmas Eve wedding at our private venue with about 200 guests, and it was truly magical. Father Kevin made everything feel so special and meaningful. He helped us choose the perfect readings and coordinated seamlessly with our readers and musicians. The homily was absolutely perfect in every way and really captured the spirit of our relationship. All of our guests were amazed at how beautiful and heartfelt the ceremony was. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

New Year’s Eve Wedding
We had our New Year’s Eve wedding with Unity Ceremonies, and from the very first conversation with Rev. Kevin, everything was simply perfect. He took so much time to truly get to know us as a couple, sending us drafts and asking all the right questions to make sure our ceremony was completely personalized. On the day, it felt like he captured our relationship perfectly. It was heartfelt, it was special, and it was absolutely unforgettable. We can’t recommend them enough for anyone wanting a truly personalized and meaningful ceremony!

Wonderful Officient
Father Kevin was absolutely wonderful.
He made our vows feel personal, heartfelt, and truly magical—even while standing with us in the cold outdoors. His warmth, kindness, and calm presence turned a chilly moment into a memory we’ll treasure forever. 💙 Highly recommended to create a ceremony you will cherish for ever.

Healing Our Love
We gave Rev. Kevin five stars because he didn’t just officiate our wedding—he helped heal a lifetime of silence, and reminded us that love, when met with kindness and faith, is holy.
We highly recommend Rev. Kevin to understand all your needs, work with you in an extremely professional manner and make your day one of magical memories to last a lifetime.
Wedding Ceremony Questions Couples Often Ask:
Do you officiate weddings in Albany and the Capital Region?
Yes. Unity Ceremonies regularly serves weddings in Albany, Saratoga Springs, Lake George, and throughout New York’s Capital Region. We also work with couples from New York City who are celebrating weddings in the region.
Do you perform Catholic wedding ceremonies outside the parish?
Yes. Catholic-style wedding ceremonies may be celebrated outside the parish setting under the pastoral authority of the Independent Catholic Church. These ceremonies follow the traditional structure of the Catholic Rite of Marriage and are reverent, dignified, and faithful to the spirit of the Catholic tradition.
Many couples choose this option when they are marrying at a venue, when one partner is not Catholic, or when a parish wedding is not possible for pastoral or practical reasons. Couples who have questions about diocesan permissions or dispensations are welcome to discuss their situation privately during consultation.
Do you offer non-religious or non-denominational ceremonies?
Absolutely. Unity Ceremonies provides Christian, interfaith, non-denominational, and completely non-religious ceremonies. Each ceremony is thoughtfully prepared to reflect the couple’s story, beliefs, and values.
