Best officiant ever!

Reverend Michael was a dream to work with! He got to know us as a couple before the wedding and offered us advice and counseling. I booked him for our wedding almost a year out and we kept in contact the whole year up to our wedding. It turns out he has married many other couples I know! He was always available to answer any questions or offer guidance. When it came time for our wedding day and ceremony, I knew I was in good hands and felt like a good friend was marrying us - that’s how comfortable we were. Reverend Michael knows how to work the crowd and keep everyone engaged. Your ceremony won’t be boring or stodgy in his hands all while still keeping formality. Stop reading this review and book him before he fills up for your date! You won’t regret it!

We love Reverend Michael! He’s the best. We had an amazing wedding ceremony that my whole family is still raving about. He was always responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing day. You can tell he loves what he does and he is supportive of all of his couples. We look forward to keeping in touch with him and letting him know all of our milestones. Thank you Reverend Michael!
