Could not have asked for a better ceremony
My husband is Catholic and I am Presbyterian and we wanted to have our ceremony outdoors by someone who was ordained. We searched for weeks without any luck and finally found Rev. William Mies and his wife Joanne with Mindful Ministries. They were not only willing to help us build a religious ceremony for an outdoor location, but also drove 6 hours to West Virginia to do our ceremony!! We met with them via Zoom 4x and they helped us build the absolute perfect ceremony that my family/friends could not stop talking about for weeks. Very thankful to have found Rev. William and Joanne Mies!

So grateful!!
Bill and Joanne were so lovely to partner with. They truly care about each and every couple they work with. Bill spent so many hours via skype and zoom talking to my husband and I, helping us to craft our perfect ceremony. Our ceremony could not have gone any better and really highlighted our love. Thank you Bill and Joanne!

The perfect wedding ceremony by the perfect minister!
Bill and his wife Joanne from mindful ministry were amazing! They walked us through writing our script for our ceremony. It made for a very intimate personal experience. They really helped us capture “us” in every detail. He took the time to get to know us and our story in the most genuine and humanly personal way, that lead to the authentic writing of our vows and planning of our ceremony. Bill’s friendly and professional demeanor made him a joy to work with. He is welcoming and open to all ideas of faith and beliefs. At the ceremony, Bill arrived in the same professional, friendly, and positive way that we have come to know him over the multiple meetings we had. He brought a calming and serene influence upon his arrival that carried through the entire ceremony. We couldn’t be happier, he was perfect fit!
