Hello, I am Vickie Michels, Loving Vows started in 2005 due to my love of weddings. I’ve been a wedding Officiant and nondenominational minister for over 18 years. I have been lucky to have met hundreds of couples from all over the US and a few from other countries. As an officiant, I create ceremonies that express the love that the couples I work with share. I will officiate your ceremony with the sincerity and warmth it deserves, whether you are religious, spiritual, or secular in your beliefs.

Imagine gazing into your sweetheart’s eyes as you speak loving vows to forever join in the bonds of marriage. The words should speak from the heart, and your guests should feel enveloped in your love, feeling like they are witnessing a love expressed like no other. Creating a ceremony isn’t just about words, vows, and rings; it is about the words that speak the language of your heart, the vows that mean forever is too short of time to spend together, and rings that signify your unity and an unbreakable bond.

Your ceremony, whether a wedding, elopement, or vow renewal, should mean and should feel in your soul. Allow me to create the ceremony that expresses your love and the continuing journey you are taking as a couple as you venture into the world as a married couple. I enjoy creating thoughtful, warm wedding ceremonies that touch the heart and infuse the spirit with love and sincerity. Allow the love and beauty you feel as you gaze into the eyes of your dearest love upon your exchange of vows to express your heartfelt love. Personalized ceremonies that speak of a life built on friendship, love, and respect and wrapped in romance. Your four-legged friends can even be included in your exchange of vows to make the moment even more meaningful.

Be comforted by knowing that whatever your religious, spiritual, or secular beliefs, I will officiate your ceremony with warmth, sincerity, and respect. Each script is custom, I create the wedding ceremony that you as a couple wants with your input, and I am thrilled to have met and worked with so many amazing couples. I hope to meet you soon, Vickie.

Loving Vows serves clients throughout the Willamette Valley (except Portland Metro), Oregon's Wine Country and Coastal, areas.
