    Reverend Ron Sheppard

    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
