Blessed beyond belief

Where do we even begin? Having Father Michael officiate our wedding was an absolute blessing. From the moment we first met him, it was clear that he is not only an incredible Catholic priest but also a genuinely compassionate, thoughtful and accepting person. Throughout the entire wedding process, he was a constant source of support and guidance, always there with a kind word or thoughtful advice whenever we needed it. His warmth and sincerity made us feel truly cared for, and his responsiveness put our minds at ease during what can be a stressful time.

On our wedding day, Father Michael brought a sense of calm and profound meaning to the ceremony, making it all the more special for us and our guests. His professionalism and deep wisdom were evident in every aspect of his role, but what truly stood out was the personal connection he created with us. We feel so incredibly fortunate to have had him there to celebrate this sacred moment in our lives.

Father Michael didn't just officiate our wedding; he became a lifelong support in the process. We are forever grateful for his presence, and we will always cherish the memories of that day, knowing we were blessed to have him by our side.

Father Michael is Great!

We loved having Father Michael as the officiant for our wedding. Him and the folks at Divine Mercy Church were very friendly and warm. We enjoyed his Mass and couldn’t be happier with our wedding ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful. Father Michael is very comforting and lighthearted, even cracking some jokes during the ceremony that helped relax a very anxious groom. You can tell that he really cares for the couples he marries. Thanks again Father Michael!

Father Michael is great!

Had the best experience working with Father Michael. He was able to give us the closest we could get to a traditional catholic wedding outside of the church. He is funny, kind and very responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Father Michael is the best!

Father Michael made our big day so special. He was extremely supportive, professional, personable and kept us calm on such an emotional day. My wife and I struggled to find a priest willing to do a Catholic ceremony outside of the church, and Father Michael was able to fulfill exactly what we wanted by having God present at our ceremony while also doing it at our wedding venue. We loved the way he balanced the seriousness of the commitment we were making to one another while also adding in some jokes throughout - it made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day! We highly recommend Father Michael, and look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with him. Thank you for everything, Father!

Great! Very Professional, Customizable, and Personal Ceremony

Father Michael was very professional and knocked everything out of the park. I loved that we were able to have some Catholic formalities important to me as a Catholic woman marrying a Christian man outside of a Catholic Church venue. We also loved how we were able to make the ceremony our own. The ceremony was perfect, meaningful, personal, funny in the right places, and went smoothly. We got many compliments on him from our guests, and we are so happy with how easy it was to work with him and his attention to detail and thoughtfulness. Would 100% hire again.

Fr. Michael was amazing!

Fr. Michael was so great to work with and did such a great job with our wedding. We are Catholic, but knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony. When we started looking for officiants, we knew we still really wanted God to be present in our ceremony. Finding Fr. Michael was such a great fit for us. Even though it's not a traditional Roman Catholic ceremony, he did such a great job making God present. We met with him early on and knew right away we wanted him to be our officiant. He's extremely friendly and very funny as well. He kept the ceremony light, but serious and everything about it was perfect. Thank you Fr. Michael!
