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.

Great service and amazing person!

Michael Rye was the officiant April 12, 2025 for my wedding. He was very prompt and professional and kept us on our toes and provided laughter and joy and love throughout our ceremony! He was a joy to have as our officiant and everyone absolutely loved him! We would recommend him to anyone who needs an officiant!

best choice for officiant

I absolutely loved working with Michael. He was THE BEST. In fact, I am grateful our original officiant feel through because we never would have found Michael if we hadn't had to search for a new officiant a few months prior to our wedding. He was easy to talk to, a good listener, and made the ceremony feel warm and personal.
I have zero reservations about referring Michael to anyone and everyone who might be looking for an officiant in the DMV.
Thank you, Michael!
