    Hire pastor mike as your wedding officiant!

    I knew the minute we met with Pastor Mike he would be the one officiating our wedding. He is kind, sweet, so genuine, funny, he could be my own grandpa! He was so accommodating to what we wanted and always provided an updated script to make sure we were happy. His communication was top notch. We received so many great compliments from our guests about how amazing he was and where did we find him. I would recommend Mike a million times to any couples looking for an officiant. He was also very reasonably priced.
    Thank you for everything Pastor Mike!

    Excellent!

    Mike was outstanding from our initial meeting to the day of with supporting us. He took sometime at our meeting to get to know us, ask some questions, and was funny throughout the ceremony! We would highly recommend him to anyone, as he did a great job with everything including our ceremony!

    My husband is in the Navy at Great Lakes and we had originally wanted to get married in Florida and have a close family friend marry us. That didn't pan out and we needed to have our wedding in the Great lakes area and were considering using a Navy chaplain. That also didn't work out and it left us open to needing to find an officiant 6 weeks before our wedding. Rev Mike saved the day for us. He responded quickly and kindly. I live in New York so he worked with us out of state over phone calls and worked off the script we were originally going to use from our Family friend in Florida. He arrived early which was great to be able to say hi for a moment before hand. Rev Mike was helpful in editing scriptures and providing feedback and also relating to us. We couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you Rev Mike!

    Rev. Mike Dixon was a wonderful officiant for our wedding. He did a great job at putting our ceremony together and was flexible with changing parts of it around the day before the wedding. Rev. Mike shared our love story which a lot of our guests really liked. We are very happy we went with him for our wedding and we know he will always be there for us in the future if we ever needed him. Rev. Mike is a caring, thoughtful officiant and takes the time to get to know you. We would highly recommend him!

    Mike was an incredible guy to work with while planning our ceremony. He is very nice and easy to relate to. The script was well written and only required a few tweaks until we arrived at a final product that everyone at the ceremony loved. The message was delivered in a very heartfelt manner which we won't forget. He is very proud of his family and enjoys telling stories and sharing pictures of them. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and all around good-hearted officiant for their big day.

    My husband and I did not have a "home church" or a specific pastor that we had a connection with and felt comfortable to ask to officiate our wedding, so we leaned on WeddingWire, and I am so glad that we did. Pastor Mike not only made our wedding day special, but also helped make our relationship more meaningful leading up to our big day.

    We met with Mike for a few pre-marriage counseling sessions, which led to thoughtful discussions that we may not have had before. Additionally, we attending a church service, and church-related events, with Mike and his wife- which was truly important to us. To have a special connection with our pastor before our wedding meant the world to us, and we're so grateful to now call him our friend. Thank you, Mike, for being so great and playing such an influential role in one of our most important days!

    When we first started looking for an officient we weren't really sure what to expect! Like many, this portion of the planning gave us a little bit of anxiety! We knew we wanted to get married, but didn't know who would help us and understand what we needed for the ceremony. I had grown up Catholic, but my husband did not. My husband and I were very lucky to find Rev Mike. Rev Mike was very kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process and we felt immediately at ease when we met him. He took the time to meet us and learn a little bit about each of us. After our initial meeting, Rev Mike kept in touch via email and text and was always a phone call away if needed. He provided us a book to read before the wedding, samples of readings, and vows. He always offered to assist in guiding us through creating the ceremony we wished to have as well as new ideas. Rev Mike will give you a full script of the ceremony prior to the wedding, so you are able to work with him to taper it to meet your needs. Rev Mike helped us organize a rehearsal the day prior to the ceremony too. The day of Rev Mike was everything we had asked for! He was warm, friendly, and well spoken. He gave beautiful ceremony focused on love and commitment. Rev Mike mailed our marriage certificate and followed up with is so we knew the next steps. He also let us know that he would be available in the future for anything we may need- counseling, a prayer etc. I recommend Rev Mike without reservation!

    Reverend Mike was so easy to talk to and genuinely wanted to get to know us before our big day! He was the only "online" option that we found that made us feel truly comfortable. It was wonderful! We had more than a few people comment on how great his wedding service was. He made sure our ceremony was how we wanted (romantic with touches of religion) and he even gave us a detailed plan for how everything was to go on the big day.- This made it easy for our rehearsal.- Can't say enough good things about him.

    Reverend Mike was so thoughtful and detailed in our ceremony that he included several details, and even included the people in attendance. His words are devotional, loving and he had a way of making the vows portion personal. Our wedding was a little bit Irish, a little bit Mexican, and more contemporary. He made it possible to have a hand fasting/lasso worked into the ceremony. Also, he had a beautiful speech that incorporated my personal love story. It was a magnificent service, and Reverend Mike is the absolute BEST.

    Reverend Mike did a great job before, during, and after our wedding. We received many compliments on the ceremony from guests. He wasn't local to our area, so he skyped and texted with us prior to working on the ceremony. We emailed back and forth to get everything just right. He was attentive to the details that were important to us on our wedding day, and he took care of the marriage certificate after we were done. He provided some pre-marital counsel, a book on things we should know before we married, and has offered not just to be our wedding officiant, but our marriage minister as well. We'd highly recommend him!

    Rev. Mike is incredibly helpful, responsive, proactive, caring, and flexible and is extremely easy to work with. He worked closely with us to put together a customized script that told our story, mixing traditional and modern wording into our vows. He helped make our day truly unique by incorporating a traditional Celtic ritual (the groom is Scottish) seamlessly into the ceremony.

    Working with Rev. Mike was incredible! Especially from planning from a different city, we really appreciated having an officiant who was so prompt and accommodating. We were able to review the script of our ceremony well ahead of time. Our ceremony was so special and very much felt like we had known Rev. Mike for much longer. Rev. Mike was great with suggestions, both those that are very traditional and those that are very unique. We felt like he truly cared about us, making our ceremony perfect, and the success of our marriage beyond the ceremony. We highly recommend him to all, especially those planning from out of town!

    My now husband and I were blessed to have Reverend Mike officiate our wedding this past September. Any stereotypes or reservations were put to ease at our first meeting. The care and attention he provided us with was amazing as well as the time and consideration he took in making sure our day went smoothly. From the smallest detail to the tiniest formalities no one would even think of, Rev. Mike mapped out our ceremony from start to finish and incorporated our own stories to make it personal and heart felt. Wedding planning is stressful enough, I would highly recommend Rev. Mike to all brides with total confidence!

    Reverend Mike was great and easily adapted to our religious beliefs. Highly recommended, he is kind, professional, and flexible. Within 24 hours of contact we had completed our marriage as per our request. Reverend Mike spoke eloquently on the joys of marriage as well as the hardships.

    Reverend Mike was our officiant for our ceremony and we loved everything about it! He made our wedding day so special, and working with him throughout the wedding planning process was a breeze. He was very accommodating and worked closely with us to make our ceremony intimate and memorable. It was so personal and I do not think there was a dry eye in the house. His positive spirit and outlook on love and marriage was appreciated by all! I would highly recommend him!

    Rev. Mike officiated our wedding this past Saturday. He did a fabulous job. We met him almost a year ago and he listened to our ideas and found great ways to incorporate them into the ceremony. He worked with us all the way up to the big day. I had nothing but compliments about Rev. Mike. I had people asking if he had known us for years! He kept everyone's attention, was appropriately humorous and made the ceremony romantic and sentimental. He is highly recommended!

    "I Now Pronounce You" Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    I also enjoyed not only the wedding but also the time working with you. I gained a lot of new ideas. Thanks for the honor!
