Michael with Redbird Ceremonies was the first officiant my husband and I spoke with and just a few minutes into our Zoom conversation we knew he was the perfect choice. Some things you just don't need to overthink and in retrospect, we couldn't be happier with our decision.
Michael was so great to talk to, he was communicative, kind and made us feel very comfortable. Our wedding took place on private property without a coordinator so having vendors we could trust to be professional and keep things running smoothly was very important to us. I was initially nervous about reciting my own vows but everything fell into place so naturally and we owe much of it to Michael! He received so many compliments from friends and family after the ceremony as well. Everyone enjoyed what he had to offer and his recommendation for our reading couldn't have been more perfect.
Thank you so much, Michael!

Beautiful, sweet, thoughtful
We absolutely loved having Michael marry us this past July. He seamlessly brought together everything we asked to include in our ceremony. His writing is thoughtful and his voice is eloquent. He was always there when we needed him and he was just a joy to have be a part of our day. We were in amazing hands throughout the whole process. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Michael was so personable and easy to work with!
Meeting with Michael was like meeting an old friend. He immediately put my husband and I as ease and tailored the ceremony to our exact requests. We received so many compliments from our family about our ceremony and would recommend working with Michael in a heartbeat.

Can’t recommend Michael enough!
Michael was our officiant for our wedding on August 7, 2021 and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with a vendor. From our first conversation, I knew immediately that I wanted him to be our officiant. He wrote a beautiful draft of the script for our ceremony and was completely understanding when I had a few edits I wanted to make to the vows to personalize them a bit more, even though we weren’t our personal vows to each other during the ceremony since we shared them during the first look. The day of the event, he showed up more than an hour before the ceremony to connect with the DJ to ensure they were on the same page and it took so much stress/weight off my shoulders because it was one less thing I had to worry about. I really enjoyed having Michael as our officiant and can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking for an officiant for your wedding who is kind, compassionate, and professional, this is your guy!
Thank you for everything, Michael!

Highly Recommend!
Finding a wedding a wedding officiant can be a very daunting process. It’s important to find someone who you trust and who you feel can capture the essence of your relationship. Mike was all of these things. From the second we talked to him we felt at ease. Mike was truly invested in making our ceremony completely tailored to us. He worked and reworked our ceremony draft until it was absolutely perfect. We were very interested in doing a unity candle ceremony for our wedding but with burn bans we weren’t able to do a traditional ritual. Mike changed the wording of the candle ceremony to match the conditions and made it work regardless of the ban. He was early to the rehearsal and the ceremony and really engaged in getting to know our families and preparing them for the big day. I can’t recommend Mike enough. Do your ceremony a favor and reach out to him!

Best Officiant Ever! :)
We were so pleased to have Michael as our officiant. We found him online without knowing much about him at all, and we couldn't have gotten luckier! He listened to who us talk about who we are as a couple and crafted a unique ceremony that was exactly what we wanted in every way. On top of it all, he's a wonderful person! :)

5 stars - Oregon Coast Elopement Ceremony - *****
We contacted Michael Williams from Redbird Ceremonies via his website. Our initial contact due to the distance between our locations was via Zoom. We instantly liked Michael and his demeanor. We eloped and did not have two witnesses planned. Michael brought along his lovely wife and her sister to serve as our witnesses and we could not have asked for a better group of individuals to be a part of our day. Michael was quick to provide us with a draft ceremony script, was open to including our oathing stone vow exchange, and just a fabulous man to work with. He was timely to our elopement location the day of our wedding, was very relaxed about our off the cuff timeline and patiently waited while we had photos done before the ceremony. While we only spent a brief amount of time with Michael, we truly enjoyed his company, appreciate the officiant service he provided, and will always have fond memories of the part he had in our ceremony. Many thanks to you, Michael. We wish you the best!!

Michael proves to be the best
I decided to wait a while before writing a review, come down off of the wedding high so to speak. I cannot say enough about Michael, he presents himself in a way that is positive and truely indescribably pleasing. Like a family member you haven't seen in a very long time, but you pick up where you left off. We were fortunate enough to have the presence of his lovely wife Diane (and sister Catherine) as well. She is just as loving and caring and pleasant as anyone could ask for. Again, instant feelings of comfort and welcoming with all three. The ceremony was wonderfully guided by Michael's hand, he has a way with his calming words that made the moment wonderfully amazing to put it lightly. We preferred a small simple ceremony, and they (Michael,Diane & Catherine) gave us a day we will never forget.
It felt magical, special, loving... they made that much more. We will never forget them, and just may invite them to our vows again in a few years.
Thank you Michael, Diane, & Catherine for that feeling!
