A pleasure to work with

We really enjoyed having Michael as our officiant. We wanted something simple, yet unique, and we didn’t really know where to start. He offers fully customized ceremonies, but for my husband and me, his simple ceremony options were perfect. We were able to insert verses and poetry that had meaning to us, and we knew that everything would still flow nicely. Michael was very easy to work with and we’d recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant.

He listened to what was important to us and was a comforting guide through the process. Our wedding and all our guests benefited from having him there. We would definitely recommend Michael to anyone looking for an officiant!

Amazing officiant!

Michael officiated my wedding recently and did an amazing job. We found him on short notice and he helped us choose an excellent script for our ceremony! He is very responsive, friendly and informative about the legal steps to get married as well. 10/10!
