Services Offered

We adopt an open approach to creating ceremonies by blending each partner's traditions, whether Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Bahai or non-religious.

The services also include couples counseling to resolve any conflicts or disagreements, current or potential future disputes, wedding arrangements, and planning to have a smooth sailing life.

Interfaith Marriages is dedicated to curating memorable nuptials that celebrate the love shared between two partners. Our process begins with a consultation where we can learn about the couple and their story, religious backgrounds, and vision for their ceremony. We are happy to incorporate special readings, blessings, or traditions into the nuptials or create something unique. Before the wedding day, the couples can finalize any details they want to include in their service.

If you want a Nikah that is heartfelt, truly personalized, and inclusive then this the officiant for you.

After having a difficult time finding a Nikah officiant that would marry my partner and I, coming across Dr. Ghouse was a breathe of fresh air. Even during the busiest of times for wedding officiants (summer time), he got back to us promptly and scheduled a Zoom call with us that same week assuring us that he would make time for our special day. Dr. Ghouse helped us custom create a beautiful ceremony that was both inclusive and respectful of my partner’s beliefs and my Islamic faith. We are forever so grateful to Dr. Ghouse for making our special day so heartfelt, beautiful, and everything we imagined. Our family and friends said, ‘We have never seen a Nikah as unique as this one. This will remain the best and most memorable Nikah we will ever see.’ Thank you Dr. Ghouse!

Dr. Mike was exactly what we were looking for and he brought us even more joy on our special day than we could have imagined!

Dr. Mike Ghouse was the perfect officiant for us! My husband was raised in the islamic faith and my family is catholic though I was not raised religious. He provided the most unifying ceremony that we were able to customize to fit us perfectly. I had multiple friends come up to me after the event and ask his information. The families loves him and we are so thankful to him for marrying us!

Excellent Nikah Officiant

Our Nikah ceremony was exactly how we envisioned it; including a blend of both religions (Muslim and Christian) so that everyone could not only feel included but also understand the similarities. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed Dr. Mike Ghouse's humor. It was very difficult to locate someone locally in Michigan and we were so happy that we found Dr. Ghouse. It was also extremely helpful that Dr. Ghouse was able to perform the ceremony virtually as we wanted to get this done as soon as possible in an intimate setting.

Beautiful ceremony

Dr. Ghouse was great. He performed an Islamic nikkah for us based on the questionnaire and conversation we had. My husband both believe in one God.

The nikkah ceremony was very intimate and he was very professional and made it fun.

Thank you for spending time to craft a perfect ceremony for us.

Awesome Experience

This was a great experience considering I am Christian and my wife is Muslim and no imam wanted to marry us! We found Dr. Mike through our wedding planner Phoriah Events and the rest is history! Dr. Mike had a couple of sessions with us Brito to the big day and on the big day he was on time and he did great! I highly recommend him!

Best decision ever!

Our most important vendor for our wedding was the officiant because we needed someone that could beautifully
illustrate our interfaith love story. Dr. Mike Ghouse did just that! He brought together our Islamic and Christian faiths in a way our wedding guests were completely blown away by. Both faiths were represented in his sermon and prayers beautifully. Dr. Mike Ghouse was extremely professional in everything he did and was attentive from start to finish. Above all, he was a joy to work and extremely pleasant and positive. We HIGHLY recommend him for any couple searching for an interfaith officiant. He will make your special day memorable for years to come.

Grateful to have found Dr. Ghouse

Dr. Ghouse is simply the best - no question about it. Dr. Ghouse is a very experienced (and wise) scholar who understands cultural matters and the value of tailoring his services to his particular audience. He is extremely open to crafting his service to the needs of his client, which is a rare quality but highly valued. And, when it comes to cultural sensitives and so-called "cultural clashes," Dr. Ghouse works his magic to make sure everyone is happy.

I want to thank Dr. Ghouse immensely for making our wedding the best day of our lives. He provided a service that respected the traditional norms that we requested, while also promoting inclusivity and championing the progressive values that we hold most dear in our hearts.

Thank you again, Dr. Ghouse. We are so grateful that we found you.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
