Reviews for Rev. Anthony F. Tosti
GUEST
We wanted the closest thing to a Catholic Wedding outside of the church and Fr. Tony did just that. All of our guests (even the most traditional ones, grandma included) raved about the ceremony. He allowed us to add our personal touches and went out of his way to get to know us even though we live in Baltimore. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get married in the area especially if you are looking for a religious & personal ceremony.
GUEST
Reverand Anthony Tosti made our ceremony truly perfect. We were able to schedule meetings with him before our ceremony to work out details which was helpful since we both lived out of town. We were able to customize our ceremony so that it fit our needs, and our families could not have been more happy with that. There is no one else I would ever recommend, we are so very grateful for Reverand Anthony Tosti!
GUEST
Father Tosti was wonderful! He was a priest for a long time, retired and got married. He is now and offciant. This is unique because I felt my ceremony had a little more of a personal touch from a normal officant would give. My husband and I were raised with catholic, but do not attend church any longer. Our family does still however so I felt our ceremony was more meaningful. He was also very helpful leading up to the days of our wedding in giving us tips on how to arrange the ceremony. We had the chance to meet his lovely wife Linda as well.
GUEST
Father Tosti is a great guy to work with. He was very accommodating and receptive to our needs - we come from two different religions (Jewish and Catholic). He performed a blended ceremony and it was very beautiful.
GUEST
He is a married Catholic priest, and if you're curious about this, I encourage you to visit the Rent-a-Priest website to find out more about what this means. Tony was very open to reading a ceremony I had written myself, completely devoid of religious references. He was very kind to us, and we enjoyed getting to know him. A few negatives: although he performs secular ceremonies, he is Catholic himself and will tell you his story of converting to Catholicism and why it's important to him. Also, he gave us a gift of a small wooden cross with rings on it and a card with a religious message inside. So if that would make you uncomfortable, it might be best to look elsewhere. Also, although I gave him our ceremony three months in advance, he read it as if he hadn't practiced at all. It didn't sound terrible, but it could have been much smoother.
GUEST
Overall Fr. Tony is a wonderful person to work with and have by yourside as an officiant. He is very kind and caring, and open to any ideas you may have for your ceremony.
GUEST
Father Tosti officiated both my wedding is 2007 and my son's christening in 2009. He was wonderful to work wit both times! I would highly recommend him.
About Rev. Anthony F. Tosti
As an ordained Roman Catholic priest, I was privileged to served the Church in several parishes in Central New York for over 35 years. Then, in 2004, Linda and I were married! During the next two years, I received a number of requests to officiate at weddings. Because I can no longer represent the Church in any official capacity, I joined an organization of married priests called CITI Ministries, and also the International Council of Community Churches, which provides me with the license to perform weddings in the USA. Our CITI website (www.rentapriest.com) offers a summary of our origins, our history, and our goals, as well as Directory of all our members. Linda and I have been privileged to participate in many weddings at many different venues, indoors and outdoors, throughout NY State. We have helped not only Catholics, but also couples with various religious backgrounds or with no religious background, to have a wedding ceremony that uniquely expresses their commom beliefs and ideals regarding marriage, in the venue of their choice. When possible, we meet with prospective couples so that we can get to know each other and to better serve them. We are happy to say that most of our couples have been deeply pleased with our services. I will be very happy to speak with you more about what services I am willing to provide as well as my availabillity for your wedding date.
