Reverend Jim was a wonderful officiant and a personable and loving shepherd through our marriage preparation process. Jim invited us into his home again and again, taking the time to really get to know us, which made for a very comfortable and relaxed wedding day celebration. The ceremony was exactly what we had hoped for, touching and personal, reverent but still warm, and interactive and inclusive of our loved ones. We enthusiastically recommend Jim to prospective brides and grooms.
Thank you Jim!

Rev. Jim Rooney was our Officiant for our January 14th wedding and we could not have asked for anyone better! We were completely comfortable with him and really liked how positive he was and his great sense of humor. He was easy to work with and he gave us many different options for the ceremony to make it personal and unforgettable. Jim helped us with our rehearsal and was very helpful on the BIG day. He helped break the ice and helped us relax during the service. We would highly recommend Rev. Jim Rooney to be a part of anyone's wedding. <3 Natalie & Matt

Everyone at our wedding raved about Rev. Jim. Our guests had a chance to mingle with him before and after the ceremony, and he really made quite an impression. As for us, we clearly enjoyed working with him. He was responsive to our needs and helped guide us to create a special and memorable ceremony.

Jim was called in at the very last Minute to be the officiant at our wedding. He asked all the right questions, got a good understanding of what we wanted, and made suggestions of his own. Jim is extremely personable. He engaged our friends and family and made everyone feel relaxed and at home. The ceremony was exactly what we asked for, with just the right degree of solemnity and humor. Our time with Jim was very short, but I would highly recommend him as an officiant.

Rev. Jim Rooney was wonderful; we met with him several times at his home getting know him and having him getting to know my husband and I. We felt very comfortable which allowed us to share very personal things with Jim. His warmth and welcoming love made the experience with him amazing! The scottish accent also adds to his charm. We asked him to wear his kilt and he did and looked ever so dapper which added to intimate wedding we had at the Dutchess Manor! We took the time to come up with our format of the wedding ceremony- which as a wonderful gift from Jim; he had Laminated for us to keep and cherish over the years! We had so many compliments from our family and friends; Jim stayed through the reception by our invitation and celebrated our marriage and the love of that special day with our family and friends and the children who attended! A great time had by all!

We were over the moon with Jim Rooney as our officiant for our wedding.
He was warm, sensitive and very open to our needs and wants for our ceremony. He was always on time for our meetings and always provided great insight. He gave us sites to guide us as well as his personal experience.
He was there for us on the most special day of our lives and helped to make our wedding what it was-----absolutely perfect.

You could never have a better experience than the one that my partner and I had with Rev. Jim Rooney on our wedding day October 3 2011. Rev. Rooney was extremely personable, professional, caring and sincere. He is blessed with a phenominal sense of humor and has a gift for making those around him feel comfortable. He mingled with us as well as our guests after the ceremony and felt like an old friend. I could not give a higher recommendation of Rev. Jim Rooney. A bonus is his beautiful Scottish accent. He could speak "the hokie pokie" and have everyone around him enamored. Thank you Rev. Rooney for turning our modest event into something grand, with your presence.

Rev Jim Rooney was an absolute pleasure to work with. My husband and I were first interested in working with him because of his religious background, open mindedness, and his personable disposition. He took the time to meet with us, get to know us, and promptly respond to any and all phone calls and emails. He helped us to put together a unique and special ceremony by sending us a large variety of ceremony material. Once we put our ceremony together, Jim met with us to personalize it and offered his recommendations to make it everything we wanted. During our reception, our guests could not stop commenting on what an eloquent speaker Jim is and how uniquely amazing our ceremony was. We are so happy and grateful that we were able to work with Jim for the most amazing day of our lives.

Reverend Jim Rooney officiated our September 17, 2011 wedding in NYC. The first time we met with him - many months before our wedding - we knew we wanted to work with him and knew he would become a special and memorable part of our day. Reverend Jim has a wonderful, kind presence, is very open-minded and was readily available leading up to the day of our wedding to develop a very unique and personal ceremony. He even wore his Scottish kilt and tartan colors! In our receiving line we had so many compliments on the ceremony and officiant and how special it all was and we couldn't have been happier with everything. We would recommend Reverend Jim to anyone.

From our initial meeting with Reverend Jim Rooney until our wedding, Jim was attentive, engaged, helpful, warm, and thoughtful. He guided us gently through the process with wisdom and reverence. We even had several guests who said that his presence added a huge degree of warmth and beauty to this special occasion. It could not have been better and I will always be grateful to him for his help and am happy that he is now my friend.

The Reverend Jim Rooney did a wonderful job of quickly meeting us and giving us exactly the ceremony we wanted. It was really nice to have someone as excited about same sex marriage as we are. He is incredibly hospitable, opening his home to us for our ceremony. We will never forget his kindness and generosity of spirit.

Jim is THE BEST! He worked with the Rabbi and they came up with an amazing low-key wedding ceremony that was not too religious for either side.
Everyone who attended LOVED him, and wants to hang out with him!!!
He made our ceremony stand out. He will make any type of wedding/commitment ceremony incredible

Jim Rooney was actually not originally going to officiate our wedding - we did not know he existed! Our original officiant realized that he had doulble-booked himself TWO weeks before our wedding date!! Luckily we found Jim and I truly believe that things worked out much better with him than they would have with the officiant we had originally chosen. Jim took the time to get to know us in the short period before our wedding date and he truly understood the type of wedding we wanted and the tone we wanted our officiant to establish in order to make our ceremony a gathering of our community, with an intimate feel, where everyone self included in our ceremony even though we have nearly 150 guests. He knew how to establish this tone so as to make it as inclusive as possible of all of our guests. I could not possible recommend Jim any more highly.

I particularly liked the way that Rev. Jim personalized the wedding in his opening comments and got to know the family members during the preceding cocktail hour. He was also very flexible regarding our desire to keep the ceremony non-religious. He did make several helpful suggestions as we were writing our ceremony, as well as providing many samples to help us select a format. Since we were from out of town, we didn't choose to have an actual rehearsal of the ceremony, which I think would have been helpful, so we should have tried harder to find a time to schedule that.
