    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.

    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.

    Thank you Mrs. NS.
    We love the way you two love! It was a pleasure to meet you both, counseling with you two, and officiating your wedding.
    Our work with you two was easy! ❤️❤️

    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.

    A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

    Angela & Brandon:
    It was absolutely our honor to Officiate your Vow Renewal. After 21 years together, your love for each other is an incredible blessing that few are able to attain.
    Thank you for allowing us to Officiate your ceremony. Let’s do it again in 20 years! 🙏🏾❤️

    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.

    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. ❤️❤️❤️

    Personable, friendly, knowledgable, and did a great job explaining everything to us during rehearsal. Phenomenal job during our ceremony. We look forward to doing routine post-marital counseling with them very soon.

    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.

    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 Lifetime Gem

    Michael and Larraine are the realest couple/therapist I know, and I'm a therapist myself. They are completely transparent in their process which help me and my "NOW" Husband trust them. We were comfortable opening up and discussing topics that left us feeling vulnerable. Michael and Larraine never left us feeling alone or stuck, they were sure to guide us and give us action steps. Larraine officiated our wedding and she brought humor, togetherness and love! We thank A.R.M. for assisting us with our transition into a lifetime together. We did premarital counseling and officiant services.

    A.R.M. Weddings's reply:

    Thank you!
    We are so glad that you two trusted us to share even in your vulnerability; the only way to get the best out of counseling.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 ❤️❤️❤️

    Dynamic Duo!

    We absolutely loved their teamwork, their professionalism, but most of all their candor and realistic down to earth communication! There was an unexpected nervousness that overtook me as the bride but just seeing Lorraine (and my hubby 2 b of course) calmed me.. Honestly.. I was concerned about asking an almost stranger to be such an important part of a special day, but Lorraine brought warmth, humor, and personal aspects about us both into the ceremony personalizing it for just us.. I am very thankful and appreciative that we were able to get on the ARM's calendar

    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!

    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.
