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.

Wonderful ceremony

My wife and I couldn't be happier with how the ceremony went. It was short, sweet, and everything we could have hoped for.

Fantastic, warm and funny officiant

Michael was a wonderful officiant. He provided examples of typical services so that we could design one we liked, and on the day of arrived early and checked in with both myself and my fiance to ensure we were doing well. During the ceremony, he added warmth and humor to the event, which was very much in keeping with the feeling of the day that my fiance and I wanted. I would highly recommend him to any couple seeking an officiant!
