    Wonderful ceremony

    My wife and I couldn't be happier with how the ceremony went. It was short, sweet, and everything we could have hoped for.

    Fantastic, warm and funny officiant

    Michael was a wonderful officiant. He provided examples of typical services so that we could design one we liked, and on the day of arrived early and checked in with both myself and my fiance to ensure we were doing well. During the ceremony, he added warmth and humor to the event, which was very much in keeping with the feeling of the day that my fiance and I wanted. I would highly recommend him to any couple seeking an officiant!

    Amazing officiant!

    Michael officiated my wedding recently and did an amazing job. We found him on short notice and he helped us choose an excellent script for our ceremony! He is very responsive, friendly and informative about the legal steps to get married as well. 10/10!

    Flexible and Friendly

    Michael is such a funny guy! He was such a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating with our preferences. Michael stood out over others with his charming accent and generosity with custom ceremony scripts. To anyone considering Michael to be your officiant, please do!

    Professional and personalized

    We chose Michael in large part because he was so professional. We wanted a short, efficient, and meaningful service, and he sent us several scripts that we could choose from and edit. That was exactly what we wanted. The pre-meeting that we had with him was friendly and easy, and the ceremony itself was professionally delivered. It was beautiful, meaningful, and exactly right. HIGHLY recommend!

    Great experience with Michael Rye

    Michael was one of several officiants we interviewed and he was the most warm and courteous of them all. He is genuinely funny but knows when to apply humor. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and would absolutely recommend him to other couples. He had the exact right gravitas but with a light touch. 10/10

    Highly Recommend!!

    Michael was great from the beginning, he walked me through everything that will happen before, during, and after our ceremony. He was great with answering all questions that we had. When we met Michael the day of our wedding we felt so comfortable with him and really liked how he came and spoke to both of us before walking down the aisle. Lastly, our guests really liked him as well, and said his accent added a special touch to our ceremony. Thank you Michael!

    Cool guy, cooler accent

    Nice Australian guy, was perfect for my small elopement in the park. He was very well spoken was in good spirits the entire time even when we were looking for an open space to hold a quick ceremony.

    Highly Professional and Responsive

    Michael was an excellent officiant for both our civil service and our actual ceremony. Despite having religious family members, we knew we wanted a nonreligious (but still very dignified) service, and Michael helped us tailor everything perfectly. He conducted himself with poise and professionalism, and he won over even our most picky of grandmas. Highly recommended!

    Awesome officiant!

    We had a great time working with Michael Rye as our officiant! He has a great personality (and great speaking voice and accent) and made us feel completely at ease. We knew we were in good hands and could not have asked for the ceremony to have gone more smoothly! Very happy to have worked together!

    Just Perfect!

    Michael was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end, he made very easy for us which we really appreciated. During the ceremony, he arrived early, managed the crowed and gave cues to our guests on when to stand and/or grab a sit. His Australian accent made the experience even better. Highly recommended. Again, he was a pleasure to work with, he was very responsible and professional and communication was great. Thank you Michael for the wonderful experience

    Fantastic!!

    Michael was so amazing to us. From our first meeting, he was funny, lighthearted, and an excellent listener to our wants and needs. Due to COVID, we ended up changing our original plan, and Michael adapted perfectly. We are so grateful we chose Michael as the man to marry us!

    Glad We Were in Michael's Hands

    Michael is a caring and consummate professional. He speaks beautifully and with an Australian accent - who doesn't love that? All joking aside, Michael worked with my husband and I to create our very own, personalized ceremony which consisted of our own vows and pieces of other ceremonies that he has on file to share with couples. It was just beautiful. Honestly, I don't feel our ceremony could have been more perfect. It was short, yet heartfelt and moving. Above all, Michael made me feel comfortable and put us at ease with his experience and personality. I would HIGHLY recommend Michael Rye. Thank you for making our wedding a most memorable and amazing exprience.
