A calming, loving presence. Honored to trust him with leading our wedding.

Pastor Michael officiated our wedding in early July 2024, and we simply cannot say enough about how wonderful he was at every step of the process, including our ceremony! He was extremely personable and easy to connect with starting with our initial conversation. There were moments throughout the planning process, especially towards the end, where we felt overwhelmed, not sure if everything was going to go according to plan. He was calm and assured us that all was well, and he was right! Our ceremony was beautiful-full of touching moments, stories about our love, and laughter! Throughout the ceremony, he prompted us appropriately and subtly if we missed a cue, and set the tone for an all-around beautiful ceremony! We had multiple people comment on our officiant, saying he did an amazing job and that they thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony. We have also done a premarital counseling session with Michael and his wife, Diana. They are extremely easy to talk to and connect with. They encouraged us to share as much as we wanted to, but only as much as we felt comfortable with. We highly recommend Michael, he will go out of his way to ensure your ceremony is everything you want it to be!

Pastor Michael called my husband and I a week before the wedding to get to know us. Pastor Michael had a sense of calm to him and we were able to open up to him about our relationship. During the ceremony, he put our jumbled words into a beautiful picture to share to our family and friends our story. With having never met him until I walked down the aisle, I felt an overwhelming sense of comfort and trust in him. He did an absolutely amazing job! He was sincere, but also added some light hearted jokes that helped make us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend, highly recommend him to officiate your ceremony.

Thank you God for putting this man in our plans! He made everything easier, more beautiful, peaceful, and relaxed. He went above and beyond to help us prepare for and later deliver our ceremony. We are not from Colorado but wanted to elope there and still have a Christian ceremony. Pastor Michael was a clear choice and responded quickly. Our first interview was a video call and we knew immediately afterwards that he was our man. He walked us through everything we needed to know and took great care to get to know us and help us understand what we wanted from the ceremony. He stayed in touch with us all the way through the day of the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, Pastor Michael did so much more for us than just deliver some kind words. He walked the bride down the "aisle". He personalized the ceremony in a beautiful way for our story as a couple. English is not the bride's first language but his kind manner and clear voice made her day feel incredibly natural. I highly recommend Pastor Michael!

Pastor Michael was incredible, from the moment of our first call with him we felt an instant connection and knew right away that we wanted him to officiate our wedding. He is there for you when you need advice and insight and treats you like a member of his family. We will never forget the impact he made on us and our marriage!

Pastor Michael was fantastic. From the in-home initial meeting to discuss our wedding vision, to the Zoom call to share our story and finalize the ceremony to the ceremony itself, Pastor Michael was wonderful. He is incredibly personable and caring and showed great range when it came to our preferences. He was completely nonjudgemental and supportive and was able to present many options regarding readings, prayers, and other ceremonial ideas to make it special and memorable and he arrived on time. I would recommend him to everyone.

Pastor Michael was an absolute delight to have officiate our wedding. He truly wanted to get to know us and our relationship when we first met him. We knew immediately after that first meeting we wanted him to marry us. He was able to retell stories we told him at the ceremony remembering every detail. Cracked a few jokes that made my husband and I take a sigh of relief and got our guests laughing too. You can not go wrong having Pastor Michael at your wedding.

Michael made our ceremony so personal to our life, making it so heart warming and beautiful. My husband and I had our small intimate ceremony in the Rocky Mountain National park. Michael created a traditional ceremony while incorporating the surroundings and importance of our mountain wedding. All of our guests were in awe of the incredible experience he created in joining Alex and I in our marriage. We also really enjoyed our meetings with Michael leading up to our wedding, as he made the experiences fun while getting to know us. We are so grateful to have met Michael and for him to be our officiant on our special day. Thank you Michael!

We loved working with Michael. We talked to a couple of officiants and selected Michael because we wanted a Christian ceremony. We also opted to do some pre-marital work with him and his wife. Not only did that prepare us more for our union, it also provided a more personal experience for our ceremony. We had several guests say how great he was, and we agree whole-heartedly!

Pastor Welchert did a fantastic job officiating our wedding. It is daunting to choose someone you don't know to be in charge of your wedding ceremony. The Zoom interview process was helpful (we did an initial meet-and-greet to make sure he was a good match for us and then a getting-to-know-the-couple interview). Michael personalized the service, making it enjoyable for us and for our guests. He is very good on the fly. I would highly recommend asking him to be part of your wedding day. (Honestly, I got the most compliments on the venue, my dress, and the ceremony.)
