Tailored Ceremonies for Every Couple!

Michele helped us create the perfect ceremony for our wedding that was tailored specifically for us. We wanted a ceremony that told our story as a couple, and we planned to include both traditional and non-traditional elements. She offered many readings, ring exchange, ring warming ceremonies, and vow options that she thought would best fit what we were looking for. She was also flexible and excited for us when we found our own readings and bible verses too! Michele sent us multiple drafts of our ceremony and was quick to make last minute changes. We loved Michele and our wedding ceremony, and we know you will too! Book Michele to officiate your wedding!

Michele is incredible!!

Michele is the type of person you only have to meet once to know they are a kind and special person. She helped us create the ceremony of our dreams by suppling us with plenty of guidance & material to choose from. She is so knowledgeable and was a wonderful trusted source for all of our ceremony questions. She has a strong confident yet kind demeanor that shines through when she speaks that connects with an audience. After our ceremony, we received SO many compliments on what a beautiful job she did. We could not be happier with our experience with Michele!

Absolutely Perfect

We had to change our date and our original officiant wasn't available. Michele stepped in and picked right up- making our ceremony better than I could have ever imagined!! She listened to us and really took our vision to heart- she was available for SO many phone calls, wrote several different versions until it was absolute perfection. A blend of heartfelt readings, our personalities, humor and romance... we felt like it was created just for us.
I highly recommend Michele!!

A woman of heart and spirit!

I lucked out choosing Michelle from Wedding Wire. She wrote a beautiful, personal service for us that knocked me out by its perfect capture of our situation. You see, we are 70 year olds ecstatic to be given a second chance at love. My husband was a widower and I a divorcee, and Michele came up with wonderful words to summarize our journeys to eachother. And found an amazing poem that just nailed it. I am so grateful for the time she put into writing our perfect ceremony!

Last minute

We found Michele through a friend on Facebook because of her FB page. Our original plan got scrapped due to COVID and when we tried to replan- EVERYBODY we liked was booked. Our friend recommended her and we are SO glad!! She stepped in, took our ideas and created the most magical moment! Although we only knew her a short time, we feel as if she "got" us- understood our relationship and vision and we will be forever grateful!
She has a lightness to her personality, she is friendly and calming (she even tucked tissues into her book for me)..... although we didn't find her on this site- we felt the need to come here and recommend her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
