The most laidback wedding I've ever been a part of, and I was the bride:-) Such a great experience from beginning to end. Everything was easy and efficient in planning, the flowers were gorgeous, and the officiant's (Mike's) speech was perfectly lovely. I couldn't be happier with my wedding. Thank you Mike!

Fabulous, stress-free wedding planning
Don't be afraid to look at a wedding outside of the United States, if you hire an experienced planner in the islands. Michael was fabulous from day one. Everything was taken care of for us. We arrived by cruise ship and ended up getting off the ship 20 minutes early, but Michael was already there waiting for us. He took us to the courthouse to pick up our license, then to the beach we had chosen. He already had our flowers with him and the photographer joined us at the beach. Everything was perfect and I believe he pays very close attention when you speak with him to get a feel for what type of couple you are and how formal he should be. He struck the perfect note for us between the seriousness of the ceremony and throwing a few jokes in. I'm so glad we chose Michael for our officiant.... we wouldn't change a thing.

Michael was quick with responses and offered expert recommendations for local vendors and helped us decide on our ceremony location (Limetree Beach) for our sunset elopement. He was very easy to talk to and customized our ceremony based on our vague requests. We were fortunate that he worked well with our photographer whom we had brought with us from New York. Our elopement went seamlessly and it was definitely in part of Michael's uncanny ability to make it seem as if we had all known one another. Throughout the ceremony and the beautiful sunset that followed, Michael never rushed us and made us feel very comfortable despite our short time together. While we were not watching, he took several candid photos of us which came as a wonderful surprise when we checked our e-mails later that evening. We could not have booked a better officiant!

What a pleasure to work with Michael! He clearly takes pride in his work, creating a meaningful experience for each couple. Officiating a destination wedding requires a different kind of expertise having to do with weather, remote location, etc. and Michael was able to keep us on schedule for the sunset ceremony. If you're looking to elope or have an intimate ceremony on the Virgin Islands, I highly recommend Michael to officiate.
Michael is the best wedding officiant on island. Whether you are looking for a traditional ceremony or a funny minister, Michael takes the time to get to know each of 'his' couples to ensure that the vows they take are personalized and memorable.
