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!

As I prepare for another wedding today, I am gratified to read your review. It was a delight to be a part of your and Allison's wedding, and since Diane and Katherine couldn't stop talking about it as we returned to Vancouver, I can safely say they felt the same way.
It was a magical day on the Oregon Coast. You found such a picturesque spot that Katherine was inspired to paint it. I've seen that painting in its early form and assure you that her powers to capture beauty on canvas have not diminished.
Thank you for your trust that allowed me to serve you as your officiant. It was an honor.

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!!

Thank you, Ciara. I wish you, Jordan, and Quincy the greatest of lives together. I was honored to serve you. One of the side benefits of the work I do is meeting family and friends. They were a joy to be among.
