Great Experience

Michael was an absolute blessing to work with. He made the entire process smooth and meaningful, even offering a premarital counseling session that helped us start our marriage on a strong foundation. His love for the Lord and passion for mentoring young couples truly shines through. Our ceremony was everything we could have wanted—heartfelt, personal, and rooted in faith. We’re so thankful he was part of our day!

Bi-Lingual Wedding

My wife is from Colombia, and when some of her family traveled to Charleston for our wedding, it was incredibly important to us that both her Spanish-speaking family and my English-speaking family felt equally included in our special day. We were honestly stressed trying to find an officiant who could offer a truly bilingual ceremony that honored both cultures.

All of that stress disappeared the moment we found Michael.

From our very first phone call, we knew he was the right person to officiate our wedding. He was warm, professional, and made us feel completely at ease. Michael delivered a beautiful bilingual ceremony with such grace and sincerity—it was everything we had hoped for and more.

His communication was fantastic throughout the entire planning process. He was flexible, understanding, and never made us feel anything less than fully supported. Thanks to Michael, our ceremony felt seamless, inclusive, and deeply meaningful for everyone there.

We’re so grateful to him for making our day truly unforgettable. Thank you, Michael—you were such a special part of it all!

Great Officiant & Such a Kind Person

I cannot recommend Michael Peter enough! He was recommended to us through our wedding planner, MOD Events, and we are so glad we chose him!
When we met at our marital counseling session with him, we knew he was a cool dude, and he just get's it. He is someone we would see ourselves keeping in touch with into the future, as you could tell he really cares about you and your relationship. He is the definition of a kind, souther hospitable person who loves Jesus.
He is also grounded in faith, and has such amazing advice on how to live your life faithfully in your marriage. This was such an important asset my husband and I looked for in our officiant.
Michael was very responsive and eager to get to know my husband and I. We could not be more thankful we chose him!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
