I Found A Gem For A Life Time

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!

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!
