I want to give a huge shout-out! A huge praise, to Michael and Lorraine, for doing such an amazing job on marrying us on our unforgettable wedding day! Not only that, but they were also our pre-marital counselors. So they had the chance to get personal with us and it felt like family.
They are is more than just officiants. It’s their innate gift! They have a true passion and it is exemplified in their work! 🥰
But wait there’s more! They had THE UPMOST AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!
They listened took notes and absolutely helped Ted and I on areas that we lacked. They were attentive, kind, patient, easy, and fun to be around. They gave great advice on things that just helped in for a strong marriage and a stress free wedding day . 🤩
It felt like divinity finding them randomly on The Wire and I couldn’t have been more grateful! For a week straight the feedback I’ve been hearing about my wedding was how absolutely amazing it was to see a union give us away. 🤗
Now! To all my future brides and Grooms who have not booked officiants yet and you’re in the ATL area please run and book them ASAP! They will elevate your wedding and I promise you, you will NOT be disappointed 😉 also, be sure to check out their Divorce Is Not An Option Book and Class!

Incredible duo
Everything was seamless. They respond promptly to inquires, straightforward in pricing and options, alongside great customer service. They were where they needed to be and moved with such grace. It was so unique to have a husband and wife officiate our wedding. Just a highlight of our day. We are now almost 5yrs post wedding and thankful for the blessing of these two. I would highly recommend and will use their services again God willing we do another service 10-20yrs from now.

A True Blessing in Our Marriage Journey
We are so grateful for A Relationship Ministry with Dr. Michael and Larraine Forrester. During our engagement, they were truly a stronghold for us as we prepared for marriage through premarital counseling. From the very beginning, they were transparent, thoughtful, and challenged us in ways that pushed us to grow individually and as a couple. Their guidance helped us have important conversations and build a strong foundation for our future together.
Because of their support and wisdom, we walked into our marriage feeling confident, prepared, and excited to begin our covenant under God. They also served as the officiants for our wedding and were absolutely wonderful—so much so that we’ve already recommended them to several of our friends.
Beyond their professionalism and expertise, they made us feel like family throughout the entire process. We are incredibly thankful for their time, care, and commitment to helping couples start their marriages with intention, faith, and love.

Pre-marital counseling & officiants
Drs. Lorraine and Michael have left a lasting impression on my husband and I. Through counseling, they helped us develop practices that we utilize throughout our day to day interactions with one another. During the wedding rehearsal/ceremony, they made us feel confident and comfortable under their guidance. We are so grateful for meeting them both and for the growth that has transpired within our relationship due to their suggestive practices. If you're looking for God fearing people who are also down to earth and real about life, this is the couple for you! I would recommend anyone to book both Dr. Lorraine and Dr. Michael for pre-marital counseling and to officiate the wedding.
SN..when they say "they've got you"...THEY MEAN IT!
A.R.M. Weddings's reply:
Thank you Mrs.!
It has been very rewarding working with the two of you. Your foundation was good to start with and it blessed us to see the two of you embrace the practices we encouraged. We're glad you made the DINAO decision.

Great experience!
We had a great experience with The Forrester’s! They facilitated our premarital counseling sessions as well as officiated our wedding ceremony. We loved having both of them to lean on to prepare for marriage and being able to seek counsel from them as husband and wife who have been married for many years. They did an amazing job officiating our ceremony and we can’t thank them enough for being a major part of our special day!

Hello Mrs. Pierce,

So glad we found the Forresters
I cannot say enough good things about Ministers Michael & Larraine Forrester. From then couples counseling sessions to officiating our wedding, they were phenomenal! I received so many compliments about them from my wedding guests. They are so personable and easy to talk to that once I got to know them, I didn't expect anything less. I would highly recommend them to anyone that may be looking for counseling or wedding officiant services.

Ministers Michael & Larraine Forrester performed our Vow Renewal ceremony and they did a beautiful job. They attended the rehearsal and were a great team at the ceremony. We could not ask for a better ceremony officiant team. We were both overjoyed with their preparation and how they personalized the ceremony for us.

Simply the best!
We absolutely loved Mr. Michael and Mrs. Lorraine! We began using their faith-based pre-marital counseling services which lead to us using them to officiate our wedding. They were loving, professional, thorough, and 100% relatable when delivering both services. Many of our friends and family members noted how much they enjoyed the "paired-officiating" experience. I'm not the easiest to please however, Mr. Michael and Mrs. Lorraine always exceeds my expectations!!!

A perfect wedding
We loved working with ARM ministries. We asked that both Minister Lorraine and her husband officiate our wedding in February 2022. One word to describe them both is stupendous! We knew we wanted to work with them just from “hello’s” in our introduction video call. They were creative with their approach to our Disney themed, colorful candy wedding and even changed the words to reflect it in our ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful and not a dry eye in the room. Thank you so much for making our day perfect!
A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

Amazing Dynamic Duo
Investing in pre-marital counseling was such an awesome decision, but investing in using The Forrester's was an even better decision. They were easy to talk to and met us where we were. We did not feel as if they were forcing us into any particular point of view, but instead there to guide us as we build our own foundation for our marriage. Leveraging their book to aid in conversations was a huge help and we still look back on our notes every now and then. We absolutely recommend this team!
A.R.M. Weddings's reply:
Thank you for writing a review. You know after our first session I was concerned as to whether or not your then fiancé would want to meet again. We are so glad that you two continued. We had some great discussions from my perspective. We look forward to being a part of your marriage for many years to come. ❤️❤️❤️

A Lifetime Gem
Michael and Larraine are the realest couple/therapist I know, and I'm a therapist myself. They are completely transparent in their process which help me and my "NOW" Husband trust them. We were comfortable opening up and discussing topics that left us feeling vulnerable. Michael and Larraine never left us feeling alone or stuck, they were sure to guide us and give us action steps. Larraine officiated our wedding and she brought humor, togetherness and love! We thank A.R.M. for assisting us with our transition into a lifetime together. We did premarital counseling and officiant services.
A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

We absolutely loved their teamwork, their professionalism, but most of all their candor and realistic down to earth communication! There was an unexpected nervousness that overtook me as the bride but just seeing Lorraine (and my hubby 2 b of course) calmed me.. Honestly.. I was concerned about asking an almost stranger to be such an important part of a special day, but Lorraine brought warmth, humor, and personal aspects about us both into the ceremony personalizing it for just us.. I am very thankful and appreciative that we were able to get on the ARM's calendar

I had no idea you could have a husband and wife efficient team. Single best decision I made about my wedding!

Amazing Officiant & Premarital Counselor
Michael and Larraine are awesome! We use them for premarital sessions (6 total) and as the officiant on our wedding day. The premarital sessions were beneficial to both my husband and myself. We discussed topics that we had only had surface conversations about (family, faith, finances, sex. Etc). As our officiant Michael was great; on time and performed our ceremony like a true pro! We plan to keep in contact with them well after our wedding.

We hired A.R.M. as our officiants and then decided to do the pre-marital counseling which was AMAZING. We got to know them, they got to know us and by the time they officiated the wedding we were like family and they added personal touches to the ceremony that we loved. They were so thorough and explained every aspect of our ceremony including the Unity Heart and the history of jumping the broom - which we loved. People are STILL remarking about how different and special our ceremony was with our two officiants. They were polished, professional, spiritual and we loved the special touches they added to the ceremony. We were so happy with our choice to hire A.R.M.

One of the Best Decisions!!
It was important for my husband and I to complete premarital counseling and to be married by someone who had the opportunity to get to know us. Lorraine and Michael did everything perfectly! We learned a lot from our premarital sessions and we put many of the teachings to work every single day. Our ceremony went absolutely perfectly and I'm so glad we chose them!

ARM was so wonderful to work with on our big day! The ceremony was just what we wanted and Michael made it personal for my husband and I and everyone loved it. Larraine was our day of coordinator and everything went off perfectly and I was able to enjoy our wedding day knowing they were taking care of everything! They are both so thorough and make sure they have every detail down pat so I didn't have to worry! Would definitely recommend them!!

Minister Larraine Forrester delivered a wonderful ceremony for my husband and I to renew our vows. She said all the right things that applied to us. We were also visiting from Florida and she was very accommodating when it came to meeting us.

Rev Michael and Larraine were a DREAM to work with. From our first conversation, I knew that they were the perfect fit for our wedding. Rev Michael was the officiant and Rev Larraine managed all of the logistics on our day. She made everyone feel at ease and made the whole process go smoothly with her professionalism, demeanor and attention to detail. Rev Michael delivered an amazing message that left our guests in tears. Although we had never met in person before the ceremony, I felt like both of them knew my husband and I intimately. Everyone that attended our wedding cant stop talking about how much they enjoyed the message and delivery at the ceremony. I can’t recommend them more and I am SO grateful that we chose The Forresters to officiate at our wedding.

I wanted to take the time, on behalf of my wife and myself, to let Ministers Michael & Larraine Forrester know how much we appreciated and have benefitted from sharing time with them. Their style of counseling, guidance and spirituality has left an impression upon our union that will remain with us for many years to come. Having both of their perspectives meant gaining insight for both of us, from both sides of the marriage equation. That is a gift. The ceremony was a significant extension of the counseling as we stood at the altar as students of their knowledge but also as friends with a connection. That made Reverend Lorraine's words very meaningful to both of us. If you are looking for guidance, insight, knowledge, spiritual understanding and honest feedback...look no further. You have found that and more. We carry your words with us every day. Thank you both!!

The Forresters were outstanding to work with. From my initial phone conversation with Rev. Forrester, I knew she and her husband would be the officiants for us. We did a few counseling sessions with she and her husband, and we really appreciated their honesty. They were very warm and inviting, and it was evident that they knew what they were talking about. A little sad that the process is all over now. But we will definitely stay in touch with the Forresters!

When we started planning our wedding, we knew that finding an officiant would be one of the challenges we faced since we weren't members of a church here in Atlanta. I am so grateful to have come across A Relationship Ministry when doing my search. I submitted an inquiry and received a prompt response from Rev. Larraine Forrester. Rev. Larraine was very pleasant and very professional. It was very easy to recognize her strong faith in God and her love for what she does. The day of the wedding I was even more impressed by the level of professionalism and consideration shown by both Rev. Larraine and her husband. My wedding rehearsal was the morning of the wedding day and Rev. Larraine worked hand in hand with my wedding coordinator to make sure I had the perfect day. Her experience was evident as she brought many great ideas to the table. The ceremony did not start on time, but Rev. Larraine was very understanding and still made sure that she officiated the ceremony according to our requests. My overall experience with A.R.M. was excellent. The price was unbelievably reasonable, the Forresters were very knowledgeable, and my wedding was perfect! I would definitely recommend their services.

I highly recommend A.R.M. Weddings. My husband and I both did the counseling services as well as the officiating services with A.R.M. We both really enjoyed all aspects that A.R.M. had to offer. Still to this day we reference things that we learned as a couple from our counseling session. Also, I absolutely loved how before the wedding we had a brief conversation of what I wanted for the ceremony and A.R.M. did not miss a beat in delivering exactly what I wanted for the ceremony. We added in a ballon release and the words to go along with the balloon release we spot on. Lastly, I at first I was hesitant to use another officiant outside of my Father, but it was such a great idea because it allowed for him to be a Dad that day. A.R.M ministy took all of the stress off me as the Bride and allowed for me to enjoy the special moment of exchanging vows with me and my husband. Again, I highly recommend A.R.M. !!! You will not regret making the decision to go with them.

Rev Larraine performed our ceremony and it was exactly what we wanted it to be; Simple, sweet, intimate, and God-centered. Overall, her communication was prompt, even in the wee hours of the night! She was very accommodating to our needs and wants for our wedding. We booked her within a week or so of our wedding date and she made it happen. I have never booked anything online, nor pre-paid for services prior to meeting someone, so I was a bit nervous to say the least. :-) BUT, Rev Lorraine answered all of my questions and was very professional and reassuring. Thank you for making us feel at ease throughout the entire process.
ARM was the best choice for us and we would choose Rev Lorraine again if we had to do it all over. We first met her on our wedding date (although we talked many times prior to), and her spirit was welcoming to the both of us. I would certainly recommend her and ARM to other couples in need of an affordable, faith based officiant who does a great job at executing your desires.

After meeting the Forrester's, we always looked forward to our counseling sessions with them. They have taught us so much and for that we are thankful! Minister Michael officiated our ceremony and he did an excellent job, we were very pleased. We both are so happy and grateful to have found Minister Michael and Minister Larraine! I've recommended them to several of my friends and family members.

Not only did we seek them for premarital counseling, we hired them as the officiant of our wedding. Very professional. They shared their life of marriage which gave us the understanding and education that love, marriage and family is both rewarding and takes hard work. It felt as though we were having conversations with family. We never felt the sessions were one sided or catered to one person. I would recommend ARM to anyone. Thanks again Michael and Lorraine for all you've done

Even though my venue location was way out there they we're on time and well prepared. They are extremely professional and love what they do. It was a pleasure working with them and we hope everyone gets the chance to be blessed by Rev Lorraine and Michael.

We love Rev. Larraine and Minister Michael Forrester. We used ARM for our pre-marital counseling and for our wedding ceremony. During our pre-marital counseling, my now-husband and I looked forward to each week of lessons and communication. The weekly sessions always included the 4 of us and were full of openness and honesty on all parts. The Forresters gently kept it real :)
For wedding day, we used Minister Michael (MM) to officiate the ceremony. Minister Michael and his assistant came on time and were well-prepared. MM was professionally dressed and kept our ceremony short and sweet, just the way we wanted it. ARM was very flexible in that they allowed me to incorporate family members into the ceremony. ARM is very efficient and MM and Rev. Larraine work well together. I would recommend them to anyone!

Our Experience with the A.R.M. ministry, was nothing but amazing. We did our pre-martial counseling with Lorraine and Michael, and they both officiated our wedding ceremony. The Forresters have taught us so much, from their own personal experiences, to bible teachings and real life situations. This was the best decision we made by choosing them as our pre-martial counselors. We cried, we laughed, we had deep conversations. I can go on and on about how the Forresters have prepared us for our new chapter as a married couple. We love them so much, please try them out, if you are looking for pre-martial services!
Love Janita and Chris Terry ??

Planning a wedding can be stressful, I learned that the hard way. It was a blessing to have Rev. Michael and Larraine Forrester, they didn't miss a beat. Initially we were not going to have a rehearsal but after consideration and given the fact that neither of us have attended many wedding ceremonies in the past, we decided it was best. We had only been planning for a few months and originally were going to marry in Florida, but the weather and to short notice for our family to share our day, influenced us to change our minds. We found A Relationship Ministry through a google search which directed us to wedding wire. When I tell you, you can feel the good spirit just flowing from this husband and wife team, believe me when I tell you, they were a blessing to us. They answered and returned every call. They explained a wedding in it's entirety. They provided the 3 cord strand that we chose for our ceremony with a small fee. I can't say enough about them. If you want an anointed, special and memorable ceremony, whether it's huge or small; at the park, church or even your home this ministry is for you. You will not be disappointed. Their price is affordable and very well worth every penny and then some! God Bless you and Congrats on your up and coming wedding

My husband and I had a few pre-marital sessions with the Forresters and Rev. Larraine married us. There are not enough kind words to say about this couple! They made us both feel very comfortable in talking with them and our wedding day was perfect. My husband and I are planning to see them both again and throughout our marriage. They will be our go to for guidance and support. I highly recommend this ministry. Thank you for everything!!

Happy New Year!!!
Minister Michael and I are often tickled when we think of someone outside of our prayer for those with whom we meet and with in days we hear from them. Just this morning I was reminiscing on the prayer before your wedding ceremony with you on one side of the wall and your groom on the other. Then today we receive this wonderful review. Thank you so much!
We look forward to seeing you both soon!

While contacting officiants for our wedding, my Fiancee and I realized that we each separately reached out to the Forrester's when we saw two WELCOME emails. After laughing about it, we quickly realized that God had directed us both individually to who would stand with us as we said our vows and began our journey as husband and wife.
While organizing our out-of-state wedding, the Ministers Michael and Larraine Forrester accommodated us with a Skype session. After some introductions, they were extremely interested in getting to know us. With our union being interfaith, we felt absolutely no bias. The Forrester's are extremely passionate and loving people full of knowledge.
They were punctual, very helpful, and kind throughout the rehearsal and ceremony. We couldn't have asked for better people to work with and hope to continue our relationship with them in the future.
We highly recommend Ministers Larraine and Michael Forrester, but we think they are two souls recommended from an even Higher Power.

We used ARM for pre-marital counseling. They are really nice! I like how both female and male prospectives are addressed. We got the best of both worlds. The counseling helped us pray together more and communicate more than ever! They went out of their way to assist us even though we were all in three different time zones. Skype counseling with sometimes bad connections but they made it work. I highly recommend premarital counseling with spiritual advisors because if God isn't in it...It won't work anyway! Thank you both, we are so grateful! You guys ROCK!!! #Newfriends4life

Rev Larraine, Minister Michael, and A Relationship Ministry provided an unmatched experience throughout the entire process from initial contact to "I now pronounce you husband and wife". Their authentic Godly spirits, professionalism, responsiveness, and highest degree of quality made our wedding rich with God's presence and so very fluid, almost as though we had known each other for years and they were uniting a close family member in matrimony. We are and were blessed by their participation in our ceremony and their presence provided the unique covering and heavenly charge we desired as we venture into the future as one. So pleased, we decided to add several post-wedding counseling sessions to learn and inculcate more from them. #blessed!

We want to thank you for officiating our wedding. You were the perfect person to lead our wedding ceremony. It wouldn’t have been the same without you. Everything went smoothly and was meaningful. Your delivery of explanation of the meaning of marriage was a very special part of the ceremony.
Thanks again!

Rev. Larraine and her husband are phenomenal. My officiant canceled on me a month before my wedding. I found their website and tried them. They both were so warm and inviting we decided to do our pre marital counseling through them also. They are AMAZING! I like that they counsel as a couple and give you realistic advice and spiritual guidance. They don't make you feel uncomfortable and are always honest. We loved them so much we are continuing our counseling even after the wedding! The ceremony was awesome and Rev. Forrestor did an amazing job. Everything happened for a reason and I am so glad my officiant canceled because I would not have found this wonderful couple!

I was looking for a 2nd officiant 2 weeks before my wedding because the original officiant would not be able to do our ceremony. I looked around on wedding wire and came upon A relationship ministry. I was so stressed and nervous about trying to find an officiant that when I spoke with Larraine Forrester she put me at ease. She was able to answer all of my questions and reassure me that everything would be ok and that everything will go as planned. I met with her and her husband and they were not only professional but so friendly. They opened up the meeting with prayer and that put me more at ease. Because they werent just officiants to be officiants they were officiants because they are a God loving couple and was called to expand their services. I loved how Larraine and her husband had an outline of how the ceremony would go and ask if I had any questions about how things would go. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely book them as my officiant. They offer many other services and I would recommend them to anyone. I felt like she was more than my officiant. Even though I did not spend much time with her previous to my wedding I felt like she was close to family. She was so calm and professional that I was put at ease on my wedding day. :)

We had the most wonderful experience with Minister Michael and Reverend Larraine. They were professional and prompt! Being that they also provided pre-marital counseling for us, my husband and I were sure that our officiants knew our story and were really happy for us. The wedding went off without a hitch and we are blessed that God let us find them!

Mrs. Larraine did a wonderful job with officiating our wedding. She was very articulate and punctual to the event at hand. She had very heartfelt words for our wedding and did a tremendous job with the whole service.
A Relationship Ministry also did a wonderful job with our pre marital counseling. They gave us both a male as well as a female perspective on many of the different subjects dealing with marriage. We learned an abundant amount of information on how to make our marriage the best it can be. I would highly suggest both of these services to any and everyone.

Rev. Larraine Forrester was outstanding as our officiant. After having to find a new officiant last minute, she and her husband were professional, accommodating and easy to work with. The ceremony was fantastic and I had no complaints! Would recommend to anyone looking for an easy to work with and outstanding officiant for their special day.

A Wonderful Experience! We're Customers for Life!
My husband and I started premarital counseling shortly after getting engaged in February 2021. A Relationship Ministry was highly recommend by a good friend of mine. My husband was hesitant at first to do counseling but the Forresters were able to help us open up and learn valuable tools for our relationship. The Forresters helped us work through the challenges of having a blended family, finances, communication, and so much more. It is has been over a year and we continue to meet with the Forresters regularly to improve our marriage. We are so thankful for the wisdom and experience the Forresters have. They have a unique way of getting to the root of the issue and helping you find a solution to move forward. We will continue to use their services!

Great Officiant!
Pastor Annette was such a pleasure to work with! Before our wedding day, my husband and I chatted with her on the phone to go over details about ourselves as well as our relationship, so that she could tailor our wedding ceremony specifically to us.
She is very down to earth, personable, and informative. My husband told me he really liked her and he could tell he knows what she's talking about, after our phone conversation. She has lots of relationship experience/advice; you can tell she cares about the couples she works with.
Our wedding ceremony went perfectly. Guests commented on how nice the ceremony was and how they liked Pastor Annette. Our ceremony started late, but she still made things happen without it feeling rushed, even though she had another ceremony to get to.
Overall I would definitely recommend her. She is also very affordable for the service she provides. We did not utilize her counseling services, but should we chose to do that one day, we would definitely call her up.

Very professional, great for interfaith couples, and highly recommend.
From the premarital counseling to officiating our wedding ceremony our experience has be nothing but meaningful and memorable. The counseling brought our relationship clarity and understanding. We both have a foundation to build upon. We will definitely use them in the future marriage counseling because “divorce is not an option” In addition, our interaction with them has been professional and genuine. The ceremony was beautiful and we loved that Minister Michael personalized our ceremony which made it more intimate. We’re thankful that God lead us to such a wonderful experienced couple to help guide our relationship.

Overall, great service! Only issue with the service was the mispronounciation of my husband’s first name. If you have a commonly mispronounced name, please triple-check that the officiant does know it. My husband did do a recording of his name prior to the wedding but it didn’t help.

Do not hired as a wedding planner
I hired them for a wedding planner and they did nothing at all. The wedding planner is supposed to make sure the ENTIRE wedding runs smoothly but they did not, they bounce after the " I do" and I regret hiring them and wasting my money. And had to spend more money out because they didn't do they job correctly smh.
A.R.M. Weddings's reply:
Akeya: first of all you DID NOT HIRE US AS A WEDDING PLANNER. Our Agreement was for Day of Coordinator services.
We did all that we were supposed to do and more.
1. 30 days prior to your wedding we started to execute the work we were contracted to do in in our Agreement. .
2. We called and texted all your vendors. And each person in your wedding Party.
We called your MUA/hair stylist on several occasions trying to get the specific time she would start on the hair and make up. We were told s that she didn’t determine her timeline that early but she would follow up with me. She didn’t. I continued to reach out to her and ultimately she finalized a time with you. .
3. I called and texted your Officiant who was also the Grooms sister and would fill the position of the Best Man. She only returned my calls within days of the wedding after you asked her to do so when I informed you that she wasn’t responding. Having done over 1,000 weddings I offered professional officiating tips which she declined.
4. I spoke to the Caterer a few times during the 30 days prior to the wedding. Unfortunately he was late after I had several calls with him and his assistant directing them to the venue as they didn’t understand the directions on the GPS.
5. The Caterer didn’t bring the flatware so we had to send a team member to drive 21 miles total 42 to get flatware. We did this even though our contract says we do not do errands.
7. I spoke to the DJ several times and he assured me he had the music and knew when to play each track.
8. I also helped you look for music for the reception.
9. Because of the time it took for the you, the mothers, and Bridesmaids to get their makeup/hair done, and for the few guests arrive late and your family member to be released from jail (is what I was told) the wedding started late.
10. We were contracted for 4 hours. 1 hour for rehearsal and 3 hours on the day of the Wedding.
For Rehearsal, the same day of the wedding (your choice), we arrived 30 minutes prior to rehearsal start time. We were actually there 1.5 hours.
For the Wedding we returned at 4:00 and left after 3 hours. The DJ again assured us that he knew what music to play and when to play it.
11. We were also in conversations with the Photographer 30 days prior to the wedding date. He was a professional. And the only one I didn’t have to call continuously.
12. We also did a complete timeline for you and vendors. I have the receipts in the form of our Agreement, emails, and text messages that prove we did what we were hired to do and more.
User1628070 Sent on 05/21/2014Larraine is a wonderful spiritual advisor. She will touch your soul and heal your brokenness. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking spiritual guidance direction in their life.
