    A Personal, Unforgettable Central Park Wedding

    We cannot recommend Reverend Ron highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding officiant in Central Park! From the moment we met him, he struck us as warm, charismatic, classy, and incredibly personable. What impressed us most was his ability to take the information and stories we shared with him and turn them into a ceremony that felt so personal and genuine. He captured our personalities and relationship beautifully, incorporating the details we had provided in a way that made it feel as though he had known us for years. That is such a special gift, and it made our ceremony all the more meaningful. Reverend Ron was also the picture of professionalism and elegance. He arrived impeccably dressed and perfectly groomed, and his confident, engaging presence was a wonderful fit for our Central Park wedding. He has a natural charisma and warmth that put us at ease while still bringing a sense of occasion and class to the ceremony. What made the experience even more special was that his thoughtfulness extended well beyond our wedding. He generously took the time to share restaurant recommendations and suggestions for things to see and do while we were in New York. It was such a kind personal touch and a reflection of how much he genuinely cares about the couples he works with. Our wedding day was incredibly special, and Reverend Ron played a meaningful part in making it that way. If you are planning a wedding in Central Park and want someone who combines professionalism, elegance, charisma, and the ability to make your ceremony feel uniquely yours, look no further. We would recommend him without hesitation! Thank you, Reverend Ron, for helping make the start of our next chapter so memorable.

    Reverend Ron was Great!

    Reverend Ron was a kind and charismatic officiant. We had a small hiccup that caused us to be a few minutes late and Ron was very understanding and accommodating. He did a great job with our ceremony and we were very happy with his contribution to our wedding day. He also followed up promptly with the marriage certificate. I would recommend Reverend Ron to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

    Reverend Ron presided over our wedding in Central Park in 2024. He was cordial, professional, thorough and accommodating of our needs for our ceremony. I have nothing but fond memories and high regards for the care he took to make our special day what it was.

    A Seamless, Heartfelt Ceremony

    Like most wedding days, ours didn’t go entirely as planned—we ended up running about 40 minutes late to the Ladies Pavilion due to an unexpected mishap at the hotel. Despite that, Rev. Ron was calm, gracious, and incredibly accommodating. He arrived right on time with my soon-to-be husband, and without missing a beat, adjusted to the delays and helped keep everything on track. The ceremony itself was absolutely beautiful. Rev. Ron took great care to acknowledge my husband’s late father, as well as other family members we’ve lost, which meant so much to us both. He handled our interfaith marriage with such thoughtfulness—my husband being Hindu and our family being Christian—and created a ceremony that felt seamless and inclusive for everyone present. What could have been a stressful situation turned into one of the most meaningful experiences of our lives, thanks to Rev. Ron’s kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. We are so grateful for the warmth he brought to our day and will always remember the ceremony as something truly special.

    Kim & Grant's 4th of July Central Park Wedding

    When we started to plan our dream wedding, we thought it might be quite a bit of a challenge. As a couple of Baseball fans, our wish was to have a Baseball themed wedding and be married on a Baseball field in Central Park New York on the 4th of July. Not to mention we live in Brisbane Australia and thought how do we go about this. We found Reverend Ron Sheppard through a general Wedding website. We reached out to Rev Ron who replied within 24 hours. After our initial website contact we continually communicated via emails and international phone calls. We advised Rev Ron of our unique Wedding wishes. Being a huge Baseball fan himself, he was open minded to our request, Rev Ron was very supportive, encouraging and able to further assist with our planning, by providing a variety of contacts of other Wedding Services that we could not easily find, due to the fact we live and were travelling from Australia and did not know anyone at all. Even though it was a National Public Holiday, Rev Ron officiated our Baseball themed Wedding Ceremony with no second thoughts or reservations. We are extremely happy with Rev Ron for his very professional and personal service. He is passionate with amazing attention to detail. The willingness to accommodate our unique requests. Eg a Baseball Themed Wedding. Just recently we reached out to Rev Ron again to Officiate Renewing our Wedding Vows on that same Baseball field in Central Park this year on a return trip to New York. Rev Ron was very happy to do this for us. Rev Ron was able to give us the Dream Wedding we wished for and continues to send us best wishes messages on our Anniversary and other special times of the year. We highly recommend him and are forever grateful for Reverend Ron Sheppard. Kim and Grant Williams Brisbane Australia
