Everything was perfect

Rev. Michael was very quick to respond to my request which was a great relief as I was getting very close to the BIG day. We had a quick rehearsal the day before and the wedding day was exactly as I had hoped. Everything went smooth; the soon to be husband created some comic relief and Rev. Michael took it all in stride. Thank you for making this day great.

Amazing, pick Rev. Michael!

Rev. Micheal was very professional and he did not rush the ceremony. He made a great impression on our family as he took the time to mingle with a few members. It was a great experience! I will definitely recommend Rev. Micheal to anyone who wants a kind hearted and passionate officiant.

A wonderful man and professional

We were so lucky Rev Michael was available for our wedding. Right from the first video meeting, I felt relieved and comfortable chatting with him. On the day of the wedding, he did such a wonderful job. There are so many nerves and things that can go wrong and I was blown away how well Rev Michael performed! His experience and charisma really stood out and it was so nice to stand up there with someone who understood the moment. Not only was he a calming influence but he was kind, funny, and professional. An officiant can really make or break a ceremony and he MADE ours so so special. He will not let you down. I highly recommend.

A delight!

Michael was very wonderful to work with! He made sure every part of the ceremony represented us as a couple. He even added a sweet “in memory” portion to incorporate our grandparents that are no longer with us. Thank you
