Best day ever!

Our wedding ceremony was so incredibly beautiful and a day we will never forget. It’s something we look back on and relive so often.
We cannot say enough about how happy we were with Mikki and how she so perfectly articulated our wedding ceremony. Mikki was an easy choice upon meeting her via zoom. We immediately knew this was the person we wanted to marry us. It felt like meeting an old friend, yet also so professional. The way she told our story with such comfort and ease, it was like she knew us all along. She touched us all with her words, there was hardly a dry eye in the house. We wanted to do something a little different during our ceremony and she suggested doing a hand fasting knot, this was so magical and everyone couldn’t stop talking about how unique and beautiful it was. If you’re looking for someone to make your special day even more special, we couldn’t recommend a more perfect human than Mikki Baloy! 🫶🏻

Mikki is a lovely officiant

Mikki is the best officiant we have encountered. She is thoughtful, insightful, and comforting throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. Speaking and planning with Mikki has been a delight and we really appreciate how much she listens to us. Through our planning sessions, she was able to incorporate all the significant things we told her and craft a beautiful and personalized ceremony draft. She also provided lovely and fitting vows to pick from. In short, it was exactly what we were looking for. On the wedding day, Mikki was timely, respectful, and delivered the ceremony with beautiful pace and tone. We are so grateful and lucky to have her be part of our wedding. Thank you so much, Mikki, for all that you do and for being part of our special day, we appreciate you.

Amazing Energy and Warmth

Mikki brought such a personal and lovely touch to our ceremony. We really wanted the start of our wedding to set the tone for the entire event and Mikki did so perfectly. All the guests were raving about how great and welcomed she made everyone feel.

Mikki was so calming & helpful to work with! We loved our personalized ceremony!

Mikki was really wonderful to work with from Day 1! We had a pretty specific vision & were looking for an affordable, non-religious, but still spiritual female Officiant who was contemporary & chill (like not really a stand-up comedian lol). From our first Zoom meeting, Mikki was so helpful with her calm demeanor, guidance, & suggestions. We were impressed when she sent us a helpful article on how to incorporate traditions from our Asian backgrounds into a non-religious ceremony. We also wanted some spirituality in our ceremony but not too much & Mikki was able to customize to what we wanted. The planning process over Zoom & written ceremony feedback process over email was very smooth & collaborative!

On the wedding day, Mikki arrived several hours early for our short rehearsal & was also very flexible with our last minute changes to the ceremony. After our ceremony, we heard so many compliments from our guests on how personalized the ceremony was, how beautiful the cultural traditions were, and how our Officiant had such a calming presence. We really felt Mikki really took the time to get to know us, our story, & listened to our feedback. Thank you for being a big part of our special day!

Amazing experience

Mikki was an absolutely incredible officiant and was exactly what we were looking for. She was so responsive throughout the whole planning process and truly took the time to learn about the two of us. Her ceremony was written and delivered beautifully. It was truly personal, specific, and deeply spiritual. Many of our guests stated that this was the most beautiful ceremony they’d ever attended.

Mikki is special.

Mikki was a perfect fit for our elopement. She was comfortable to talk to from our first zoom call. She captured us as a couple and offered the natural, spiritual, organic vibe we were looking for. She was flexible in changing our elopement date last minute due to weather. Mikki was a
calming presence for both of us, and someone we felt like we’ve known for years. Mikki is undoubtedly someone we’ll call on again in life for future events.

We love Mikki!

My husband & I decided to elope one week before New York shut down. We found Mikki online and reached out. She promptly got back to us, was super easy to communicate with, and she worked with our schedule. When we decided to marry again with family and friend on September 12th she made the trip to us. Both services were nothing short of magical! We enthusiastically recommend her!!

Wedding Ceremony Bliss

Shaman Mikki is no typical officiant. She not only created the most amazing ceremony but went above and beyond to get to know the story of our love and the depth of our energy. She not only got to know our story and love enough to customize our ceremony but she went to the next level and created an atmosphere where the entire audience felt the depth, power and strength of our love. Her ability to establish a genuine connection was amazing she created an energy that makes you feel the care and passion for her to make your day extremely special. Sean and I thank you for unifying us.

Amazing!!!

We LOVED Mikki. She was incredibly easy to work with (we were in NYC and did mostly everything via facetime or email), and did everything that we had asked for the ceremony. She was punctual on the day of, extremely calming, professional, genuine. We highly recommend her.
