Perfect Ceremony

Reverend Michael Callahan was the perfect officiant for our wedding! He took care from the very beginning to learn about us as individuals and as a couple, and put us at ease throughout the process. We spoke several times about what kind of ceremony we'd like & he provided us with an outline with different options. On the day of, he chose the most beautiful words to describe us and it went off without a hitch. Multiple times throughout the night, we received compliments on his words from our guests. We are so glad we found him to celebrate our special day!

July 2021 wedding!

Micheal honestly hands down is the best officiant ever! From start to finish. From every phone call and email. He really helped us make a ceremony that would fit our relationship!

Micheal never made us feel like there was one type of ceremony. He always encouraged us to be our selfs and have a ceremony true to us. On the wedding day everything when so smooth better then I though as I was so nervous! I hate public speaking.

The best part of our wedding was the ceremony there was not a dry eye in sight! I can’t even count the amount of guest who came up to us and said that was the best ceremony they have ever seen! An how kind and nice Micheal was!

At the end of the day your wedding day goes by fast. However I will always remember Micheal and the huge imprint he left on our lives! On the most important day of our lives!
