Amazing Officiant!

Rev. Michael was absolutely amazing to work with! From the very first meeting he was very easygoing and we knew he would be our choice!
During the process of planning a wedding a lot of tasks can easily fall through the cracks, however, Rev. Michael was so on point with sending us the reminder emails to make sure we stayed on track with the draft and reading choices he had provided. And although we didn't provide things in a timely manner he was always so quick to respond and stay on top of things.
This is one vendor/person I did not have to stay on top of, or have to be chasing.

During our ceremony, he conducted everything beautifully and is very comfortable with large crowds and even said a few words in Spanish and Portuguese (as per our request).
We highly recommend Rev. Michael! Our ceremony was everything I had ever dreamed of!

Elopement ceremony by Michael

I found Michael online and reached out to ask if he could officiate our elopement. From the very first conversation, I was impressed by his professionalism and his genuine love for the marriage process. He was extremely attentive to details and any special elements we wanted to include, and he was always responsive, respectful, and easy to work with throughout the planning process.

During the ceremony, he was highly professional while also knowing exactly when to add light humor during tense or very serious moments. He made everyone laugh and instantly put us at ease.

The speech he wrote was incredibly moving and brought me to tears. I am so grateful that he was part of our ceremony. I would 100% recommend Michael to anyone looking for a reliable, creative, passionate, and truly professional minister who seems to really genuinely care about the process from the beginning until the very end!

Rev. Michael was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we first spoke with him, he made us feel comfortable and confident that our ceremony would be perfect. He was extremely easy to get in touch with and was an excellent communicator throughout our planning process. He answered any questions we had and took care of everything for us post wedding so we could enjoy our honeymoon worry free. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful our ceremony was. We're so grateful to have had Michael as our officiant! If you have the chance to have him be apart of your day you won’t regret it! We can’t thank him enough for helping make our day so special🤍

Nicest man you will ever meet

He genuinely cares about people and conducting an excellent service for you. He made multiple drafts for us to review for the ceremony and went out of his way to provide all instructions in regards to filing and any other needs we had. His ceremony service was touching. It is not just a job to him. He loves what he does. We could not be more thankful to have him apart of our special day

Personable, Professional, and Charming

Rev. Michael Savage was extremely helpful from the first phone call. He provided many documents to help choose the ceremony that fit our dreams. He was able to keep our guests in line but allow them to enjoy themselves throughout the ceremony. He truly was a lucky find for my wife and I to find and help make our special day as perfect as it gets.

Lots of Praise

Rev. Michael was great from the start. He walked us through all the paperwork and things we needed to get done before and after. He made getting an officiant for our wedding the easiest part of the planning process. He was able to customize the whole ceremony to how we wanted it with reading etc. A lot of our guests made comments about "how great" our officiant was and asked where we had found him.

Highly recommend!!

We had the pleasure of working with Rev. Michael Savage for our wedding on 5/30/25 at Edgewood Country Club, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We initially chose him because he officiated our brother's wedding and did such a wonderful job.

From our first meeting, he was incredibly organized, prepared, and easy to work with. He guided us through every step of the ceremony planning process, offering thoughtful suggestions while always keeping our preferences front and center. His professionalism and calm presence helped make the whole experience stress-free.

What stood out most, though, was the ceremony itself. Rev. Michael delivered something so personal and heartfelt that it felt like he had known us our whole lives. It was warm, meaningful, and beautifully done. So many of our guests commented on how special the ceremony felt.

We are so grateful he was our officiant and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who brings care, experience, and genuine warmth to one of life’s most important moments.
