About

"A marriage is based upon a foundation of trust, faith, and commitment. Trust to keep you open and honest with each other. Faith in each other to allow you to overcome doubt and adversity. Perhaps most importantly, commitment to keep you true to the promises you make to each other today."

Michael was awesome

Michael did a fantastic job writing a beautiful ceremony for our wedding. He synthesized a bunch of information from the two of us into an eloquent, thoughtful, and meaningful ceremony that highlighted our lives together and what it means to be married.

Golden Experience

Our wedding was made extra special by having Michael officiate.
We met months in advance to plan our ceremony. Michael guided us through the process and met few different times to complete our questionnaire so he got to know our personal love story.
Michael was responsive to our detailed questions and requests.
The day of wedding he coordinated with all the vendors with positive energy.
The ceremony was flawless and filled with a lovely message.

Perfect day

Michael was wonderful! I reached out a few weeks in advance of my wife and I traveling to CO to get away from the TX heat. We were engaged for 3 years and decided it would be a great experience to get married while in CO. After contacting Michael, he was available and more than willing to help make our day special. He offered some beautiful wedding locations for us to choose. He was well dressed, well spoken and was very personal be to us. It was excellent and super glad we met Michael as our officiant!

So personalized

Michael made our ceremony so special and personalized. We received so many compliments from our guests and many were shocked that he didn’t know us prior to our wedding planning. Michael was organized and prompt to respond to questions. He is also very detail oriented and most importantly compassionate.

Amazing Officiant from Start to Finish

Michael did a fantastic job with everything from our introductory meeting to the delivery of the ceremony on our wedding day. I could not recommend him more. He made us feel comfortable throughout the process and really took the time to get to know us and make the ceremony personal.

If you want the best, hire him now!

I can't begin to say enough great things about Michael. We had the absolute pleasure and blessing of having Michael marry us in Tampa, FL and he was one of our favorite parts of our wedding. This is very near and dear to my husband and I. He could not have performed a more beautiful ceremony, really there wasn't one dry eye in the house. I heard compliments all night about the personable and beautiful script that he wrote for us. We can't thank him enough for everything. From start to finish, I have never been through such a professional and amazing process. I will recommend Michael to anyone and everyone who is getting married. If you are contemplating hiring him, do it now. I promise that you will be so happy that you did!

Best wedding officiant!

I highly recommend Michael to anyone who is looking for an officiant for their wedding. He spent the appropriate amount of time getting to know my wife and I so that the experience would be personalized for the two of us. He is thorough and sincere in his approach. So many people at our wedding commented on how great our officiant was. Thank you, Michael.

Absolutely the Best Officiant Ever!

Michael officiated our ceremony last weekend in Estes Park, CO. The process with him from start to finish was seamless, professional and fun! From the first intro email to the congratulations email he sent before the ink was dry on our marriage license, we knew we had chosen the right person to marry us. He is responsive, kind, funny, focused and open to making the ceremony extremely personal. He even led a Happy Birthday to my daughter during the ceremony as a surprise because we got married on her birthday!! He honored my late husband in a very special way and was open to our request for a hand fasting during the ceremony as well. He is unique and we got tons of compliments on him during our reception.

Absolutely the best💕

Michael Moody is THE officiant that you need. My chaplain had a stroke 4 days before my wedding and needless to say, I was stressed! Reached out to Michael after reading his reviews and he carved out time for me even though the wedding was 4 days away.
Key points:
1)Extremely kind, professional, knows what he’s doing
2)Asks for the couple to fill out a 2-3 page form on the relationship so he can get to know you and incorporate into the ceremony
3) He tailors the ceremony to YOU! His light hearted jokes that we requested were amazing, and he even included our late grandparents in the ceremony in a very special way.
110% recommend to any couple who wants an impressive, beautiful ceremony!

Highly recommend!

We were very lucky to have Michael officiate our ceremony in September 2022.

We wanted someone who could lead and design the ceremony while also personalizing it to us. We got exactly what we wanted in Michael! In fact, many people asked us how long we knew him. He was so warm, funny, and great public speaker.

He guided us through the whole process and made it very easy. His questionnaire was thoughtful and fun to complete as we thought about all the reasons we loved each other and wanted to get married. And then to hear how he incorporated those notes in the ceremony was wonderful.

The whole experience from, our first contact with Michael to the ceremony was amazing. He was also such a calming presence the day of and put you at ease.

Highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
