    Heart Warming Ceremony

    Pastor Michael helped us customize our ceremony months in advance, was flexible to our schedules and went above and beyond to make our day so special! He jumped into action when changes needed to be made and didn’t miss a beat! He gave us suggestions to help our day go smoothly!

    Thank you Pastor Michael!

    Pastor Michael was great, we loved working with him. We did not choose to use any of his premarital counseling services, but he was always available by phone to answer any questions or go over details about our ceremony. He helped with our rehearsal and was very professional and lively. He was very clear spoken and emotive during our ceremony and allowed us to include some personal touches that we really wanted. It was an all around great experience working with him!

    We love Pastor Mike!

    We were recommended to Pastor Mike by our photographer, Miss Kelly Pifer (she's amazing). He was actually working at a church in Pittsburgh when we contacted him, which ironically is where we are from but we live in Cuyahoga Falls, and he was so kind to officiate our wedding despite the commute and work constraints. Pastor Mike is extremely helpful and accommodating to his brides. If you read the reviews and go on his website, you'll see a lot about how he was so kind and quick to respond any time his brides/couples needed anything! Just as an example: Pastor Mike had our wedding on a Sunday in Ohio, and shortly before he was contacted by a bride whose pastor was very suddenly unable to officiate for their wedding the Saturday previous to our day. On such short notice and a 4-hour drive from where we were, he went and officiated their wedding and then came all the way back the next day to officiate ours in 104-degree temps! The document he sends as a ceremony template is super easy to follow and customizable. We were able to make a ceremony that was perfect for us and Pastor Mike added some of his own touches that were really appreciated by our families. His "fees" (a small deposit and a church donation) are extremely fair for all the work he puts in, and I really felt that he cared a lot about me, my husband, our wedding, and everyone included in it. Thank you so much Pastor Mike. Everyone loved your service, especially us.

    Summit Wedding Services's reply:

    Thank you very much for the excellent review! Many blessings to the both of you! And yes, it was nice to get into the air conditioning after your ceremony!
