Michael helped make our ceremony personal and intimate!
The best!
Truly one of a kind!
From our very first meeting, he took the time to truly get to know us—not just our names, but our story, our personalities, and what mattered most to us. By the time our wedding day arrived, it felt like we had known him for years. After just a couple of meetings, we genuinely considered him a friend.
The ceremony was heartfelt, personal, and perfectly reflected who we are as a couple. Michael has a way of making everyone feel comfortable, and his delivery struck the perfect balance of meaningful, warm, and engaging.
What really stood out was that he didn’t rush off after the ceremony. He stuck around to celebrate with us, chat with our family and friends, and soak in the excitement of the day. That meant a lot to us and is something we’ll always remember.
We can’t wait to meet up with Michael again the next time we’re back in Charleston. He played such an important role in making our wedding day unforgettable, and we truly couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re getting married in Charleston, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better officiant.

The best officiant you could ask for!
Michael Peter is an Amazing Wedding Officiant!!
We laughed, joked, and connected the entire time, and by the end of that first conversation, we knew immediately we wanted him as our officiant. He made it a priority to ensure he wouldn’t feel like a stranger standing beside us at the altar and he truly delivered on that.
When we met up with him again in Charleston during our tasting trip, it felt like catching up with a friend. He checked every box for us: incorporating religion in a way that felt right, bringing a warm and personable presence, and creating a beautifully written ceremony script that we were able to customize to reflect what mattered most to us. I could not recommend Michael Peter enough as an officiant and we genuinely will consider him a forever friend.
