Hire pastor mike as your wedding officiant!

I knew the minute we met with Pastor Mike he would be the one officiating our wedding. He is kind, sweet, so genuine, funny, he could be my own grandpa! He was so accommodating to what we wanted and always provided an updated script to make sure we were happy. His communication was top notch. We received so many great compliments from our guests about how amazing he was and where did we find him. I would recommend Mike a million times to any couples looking for an officiant. He was also very reasonably priced.
Thank you for everything Pastor Mike!

My husband is in the Navy at Great Lakes and we had originally wanted to get married in Florida and have a close family friend marry us. That didn't pan out and we needed to have our wedding in the Great lakes area and were considering using a Navy chaplain. That also didn't work out and it left us open to needing to find an officiant 6 weeks before our wedding. Rev Mike saved the day for us. He responded quickly and kindly. I live in New York so he worked with us out of state over phone calls and worked off the script we were originally going to use from our Family friend in Florida. He arrived early which was great to be able to say hi for a moment before hand. Rev Mike was helpful in editing scriptures and providing feedback and also relating to us. We couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you Rev Mike!

Rev. Mike Dixon was a wonderful officiant for our wedding. He did a great job at putting our ceremony together and was flexible with changing parts of it around the day before the wedding. Rev. Mike shared our love story which a lot of our guests really liked. We are very happy we went with him for our wedding and we know he will always be there for us in the future if we ever needed him. Rev. Mike is a caring, thoughtful officiant and takes the time to get to know you. We would highly recommend him!

Mike was an incredible guy to work with while planning our ceremony. He is very nice and easy to relate to. The script was well written and only required a few tweaks until we arrived at a final product that everyone at the ceremony loved. The message was delivered in a very heartfelt manner which we won't forget. He is very proud of his family and enjoys telling stories and sharing pictures of them. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and all around good-hearted officiant for their big day.

My husband and I did not have a "home church" or a specific pastor that we had a connection with and felt comfortable to ask to officiate our wedding, so we leaned on WeddingWire, and I am so glad that we did. Pastor Mike not only made our wedding day special, but also helped make our relationship more meaningful leading up to our big day.

We met with Mike for a few pre-marriage counseling sessions, which led to thoughtful discussions that we may not have had before. Additionally, we attending a church service, and church-related events, with Mike and his wife- which was truly important to us. To have a special connection with our pastor before our wedding meant the world to us, and we're so grateful to now call him our friend. Thank you, Mike, for being so great and playing such an influential role in one of our most important days!

When we first started looking for an officient we weren't really sure what to expect! Like many, this portion of the planning gave us a little bit of anxiety! We knew we wanted to get married, but didn't know who would help us and understand what we needed for the ceremony. I had grown up Catholic, but my husband did not. My husband and I were very lucky to find Rev Mike. Rev Mike was very kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process and we felt immediately at ease when we met him. He took the time to meet us and learn a little bit about each of us. After our initial meeting, Rev Mike kept in touch via email and text and was always a phone call away if needed. He provided us a book to read before the wedding, samples of readings, and vows. He always offered to assist in guiding us through creating the ceremony we wished to have as well as new ideas. Rev Mike will give you a full script of the ceremony prior to the wedding, so you are able to work with him to taper it to meet your needs. Rev Mike helped us organize a rehearsal the day prior to the ceremony too. The day of Rev Mike was everything we had asked for! He was warm, friendly, and well spoken. He gave beautiful ceremony focused on love and commitment. Rev Mike mailed our marriage certificate and followed up with is so we knew the next steps. He also let us know that he would be available in the future for anything we may need- counseling, a prayer etc. I recommend Rev Mike without reservation!

Reverend Mike was so easy to talk to and genuinely wanted to get to know us before our big day! He was the only "online" option that we found that made us feel truly comfortable. It was wonderful! We had more than a few people comment on how great his wedding service was. He made sure our ceremony was how we wanted (romantic with touches of religion) and he even gave us a detailed plan for how everything was to go on the big day.- This made it easy for our rehearsal.- Can't say enough good things about him.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
