    Pre-marital counseling & officiants

    Drs. Lorraine and Michael have left a lasting impression on my husband and I. Through counseling, they helped us develop practices that we utilize throughout our day to day interactions with one another. During the wedding rehearsal/ceremony, they made us feel confident and comfortable under their guidance. We are so grateful for meeting them both and for the growth that has transpired within our relationship due to their suggestive practices. If you're looking for God fearing people who are also down to earth and real about life, this is the couple for you! I would recommend anyone to book both Dr. Lorraine and Dr. Michael for pre-marital counseling and to officiate the wedding.
    SN..when they say "they've got you"...THEY MEAN IT!

    A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Mrs.!
    It has been very rewarding working with the two of you. Your foundation was good to start with and it blessed us to see the two of you embrace the practices we encouraged. We're glad you made the DINAO decision.

    Great experience!

    We had a great experience with The Forrester’s! They facilitated our premarital counseling sessions as well as officiated our wedding ceremony. We loved having both of them to lean on to prepare for marriage and being able to seek counsel from them as husband and wife who have been married for many years. They did an amazing job officiating our ceremony and we can’t thank them enough for being a major part of our special day!

    A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

    Hello Mrs. Pierce,
    It was truly a pleasure to work with the two of you. We were honored to officiate your wedding ceremony also. We look forward to continually working with you two throughout your marriage journey.

    Simply the best!

    We absolutely loved Mr. Michael and Mrs. Lorraine! We began using their faith-based pre-marital counseling services which lead to us using them to officiate our wedding. They were loving, professional, thorough, and 100% relatable when delivering both services. Many of our friends and family members noted how much they enjoyed the "paired-officiating" experience. I'm not the easiest to please however, Mr. Michael and Mrs. Lorraine always exceeds my expectations!!!

    A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Mrs.
    I think I stretched you and I know you stretched me! It was definitely our pleasure to get to know you both and to Officiate your Wedding Ceremony.

    A perfect wedding

    We loved working with ARM ministries. We asked that both Minister Lorraine and her husband officiate our wedding in February 2022. One word to describe them both is stupendous! We knew we wanted to work with them just from “hello’s” in our introduction video call. They were creative with their approach to our Disney themed, colorful candy wedding and even changed the words to reflect it in our ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful and not a dry eye in the room. Thank you so much for making our day perfect!

    A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

    Mrs. THANK YOU!
    You made our work easy because you’re such great people. Your wedding was simply beautiful as you planned it with love and creativity.

    Amazing Dynamic Duo

    Investing in pre-marital counseling was such an awesome decision, but investing in using The Forrester's was an even better decision. They were easy to talk to and met us where we were. We did not feel as if they were forcing us into any particular point of view, but instead there to guide us as we build our own foundation for our marriage. Leveraging their book to aid in conversations was a huge help and we still look back on our notes every now and then. We absolutely recommend this team!

    A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

    Thank you for writing a review. You know after our first session I was concerned as to whether or not your then fiancé would want to meet again. We are so glad that you two continued. We had some great discussions from my perspective. We look forward to being a part of your marriage for many years to come. ❤️❤️❤️

    Amazing!

    Minister Michael and Minister Larraine were awesome! We knew from the day that we started premarital counseling with them that we wanted BOTH of them to officiate our wedding. Minister Larraine was available to answer all of my questions about the process and to put my mind at ease! We received so many compliments about our wedding Officiants! D and I definitely recommend the Forresters!

    Best Officiants Ever

    I had no idea you could have a husband and wife efficient team. Single best decision I made about my wedding! They were caring, emotionally invested, detailed without being pushy or needy in any sort of negative way, genuinely kind to everybody at my wedding, practiced extremely strict coronavirus safety measures. Love them!

    A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

    Jennifer, Officiating your ceremony was truly a pleasure even more so meeting you. Your energy is awesome! Thank you!

    A Great Officiant!

    We had a lovely experience with Rev. Michael. He was professional and a very important part of our ceremony. He was the right balance of lighthearted and serious for our ceremony and we are blessed to have him officiate. Highly recommend!

    Amazing Officiant & Premarital Counselor

    Michael and Larraine are awesome! We use them for premarital sessions (6 total) and as the officiant on our wedding day. The premarital sessions were beneficial to both my husband and myself. We discussed topics that we had only had surface conversations about (family, faith, finances, sex. Etc). As our officiant Michael was great; on time and performed our ceremony like a true pro! We plan to keep in contact with them well after our wedding.

    A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

    Erica and Gregg:
    We enjoyed our sessions with you and we look forward to what God will continually do in the days, months and years to ahead.
    We love the way you love and are honored to be apart of your foundation.

    Awesome Experience

    We hired A.R.M. as our officiants and then decided to do the pre-marital counseling which was AMAZING. We got to know them, they got to know us and by the time they officiated the wedding we were like family and they added personal touches to the ceremony that we loved. They were so thorough and explained every aspect of our ceremony including the Unity Heart and the history of jumping the broom - which we loved. People are STILL remarking about how different and special our ceremony was with our two officiants. They were polished, professional, spiritual and we loved the special touches they added to the ceremony. We were so happy with our choice to hire A.R.M.

    Rev. Larraine Forrester was the officiant for our wedding. Rev. Lorraine was prompt, professional, and definitely enjoys what she does. She responded quickly anytime I contacted her and she made sure to answer all of my questions. I would definitely A.R.M. Wedding services to any future brides or grooms.

    We used ARM for pre-marital counseling. They are really nice! I like how both female and male prospectives are addressed. We got the best of both worlds. The counseling helped us pray together more and communicate more than ever! They went out of their way to assist us even though we were all in three different time zones. Skype counseling with sometimes bad connections but they made it work. I highly recommend premarital counseling with spiritual advisors because if God isn't in it...It won't work anyway! Thank you both, we are so grateful! You guys ROCK!!! #Newfriends4life

    So glad we found the Forresters

    I cannot say enough good things about Ministers Michael & Larraine Forrester. From then couples counseling sessions to officiating our wedding, they were phenomenal! I received so many compliments about them from my wedding guests. They are so personable and easy to talk to that once I got to know them, I didn't expect anything less. I would highly recommend them to anyone that may be looking for counseling or wedding officiant services.

    Great Team!

    Ministers Michael & Larraine Forrester performed our Vow Renewal ceremony and they did a beautiful job. They attended the rehearsal and were a great team at the ceremony. We could not ask for a better ceremony officiant team. We were both overjoyed with their preparation and how they personalized the ceremony for us.
