Highly recommend Reverend Judy Grimes

I couldn't have asked for a more sentimental, and meaningful ceremony. Reverend Judy Grimes did a wonderful job. We were so moved by her words, and the natural positive spirit Judy carries with her. I highly recommend her as the most important part of your special day.

Great service

Judy performed our ceremony and we absolutely adored her. She did a great job at our ceremony and really worked hard to tie things in to it that were unique and personal to my husband and I. She was very willing to adapt and change her script to make it fit exactly what we wanted. We also live out of town and she was extremely responsive to email and was available to communicate and meet in a variety of different ways such as phone, FaceTime, email, and in person. We would recommend her to all brides and grooms looking for an officiant.

Vow Renewal

Judy helped me create the perfect day! My husband and I re-did our vows at 5 years. We like to consider it more of an anniversary celebration as opposed to a
vow renewal. We went up north towards Elk Rapids and being unfamiliar with the area, she suggested a perfect spot. We communicated back and forth so I knew exactly what to expect. Judy is a great officiant and you can tell she loves her job.

Judy was our officiant for our August wedding, and she did an amazing job! We were able to FaceTime with her as well as have an in-person meeting during the planning process to finalize our ceremony, and all of her suggestions were great. She was also incredibly helpful and organized for rehearsal to make sure everything ran smoothly in our very non-traditional outdoor venue. I couldn't begin to tell you how many compliments we have received from family and friends on how beautiful her message was. We are so happy we were able to work with her, she helped make our day so special!

We had an wonderful experience with Northern Michigan Ministers. Judy was the officiant at our summer wedding and we could not have asked for anyone better. She truly provided us with the perfect ceremony, taking the time to get to know us individually and as a couple prior to the wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and personal. She added such a feeling of warmth and every word she spoke was heartfelt, meaningful, and sincere. My husband and I are so grateful to have found such a wonderful officiant and definitely recommend her!

Ken was just what we were looking for. He is a kind person and an experienced officiant. He helped keep us organized with the marriage license requirements and documents. Ken did a nice job of bridging over the fact that we did not have a prior relationship with him as many couples do with their officiant. His ceremony script combined our preferences with his background into a thoughtful exchange that was just right.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
