    What a great experience!

    A huge thank you to Reverend Williams and his wife. We were deeply touched by their attentive listening, their patience and their kindness, which accompanied every moment of this collaboration for our wedding ceremony. A real harmony, guided by the Spirit, was woven between us, and this gave each exchange a special, almost sacred flavour. We came away enriched, calmed and grateful for the grace we shared on this journey together.

    Absolutely beautiful!

    More that I could ever ask for. Very special and tearful celebration for us. We were blessed to have Bill and Joanne be a part of our wedding.

    Mindful Ministry's reply:

    Thanks so much for your glowing testimonial. Both Joanne and I enjoyed being a part of your wedding ceremony preparation and working with you to prepare for your rehearsal and wedding at Zigbone Farm.
    What a lovely setting for celebrating your wedding!

    Amazing experience!

    We absolutely loved Rev. Bill and Joanne. They are amazing and lovely couple who helped guiding us through the whole process until we managed to create our ceremony exactly like what we wanted and were able to really express who we were in every word which meant everything to us!! They spent so much time to get to know us personally to help us later in creating our unique ceremony!! We will be forever grateful that they shared their time and wisdom with us and we will never forget our experience with both of them!!

    Great experience with Mindful Ministry

    Bill was a fantastic officiant for our wedding, bringing not only professionalism but also a comforting presence throughout our ceremony. His sonorous voice and thoughtful demeanor, paired with the attentive support of his wife, Joanne, enhanced our experience, making our special day even more memorable. Their careful preparation and compassion were obvious from our detailed planning meetings to the final execution. Everything went amazing. Thank you Bill and Joanne!

    10/10! Highly Reccomend!

    Our wedding ceremony was made truly unforgettable, thanks to the incredible guidance and expertise of Bill, our officiant. From the moment we met him, it was clear that Bill was dedicated to making our ceremony as meaningful and personalized as possible.

    Bill took the time to get to know us on a personal level, ensuring that our ceremony reflected our love story and values. His thoroughness and attention to detail were evident as he worked with us to craft a ceremony that was perfect for us. He offered valuable guidance and suggestions while also giving us the confidence to make decisions that felt true to who we are as a couple.

    During the ceremony itself, Bill's warmth and kindness shone through, creating a truly heartfelt and memorable experience for us and our guests. His words were beautifully crafted, and he delivered them with sincerity and grace.

    One of the most special touches that Bill provided was a memory book of our wedding ceremony, allowing us to treasure and relive every moment for years to come. It was a thoughtful gesture that we will always cherish.

    Overall, we cannot recommend Bill highly enough. His professionalism, kindness, and dedication to his craft made our wedding ceremony more meaningful than we could have ever imagined. If you're looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to create a ceremony that reflects your love and values, look no further than Bill. 10/10 recommend!

    The ceremony was the highlight of our wedding!

    I cannot overstate how many compliments we received from guests who were blown away by the beauty and intentionality of the ceremony my husband and I crafted with the help of Bill and Joanne. The ceremony was truly a highlight of the wedding, and it impressed both religious and non-religious guests alike with its depth, and how well it reflected us as a couple. The ceremony was one of the wedding planning pieces that was a little bit stressful for me at first, and I am so glad that we landed on a ceremony that was so meaningful to both of us. Bill took his time getting to know us to really make sure that the ceremony was unique and reflected our values, and Joanne was fantastic and flexible with our numerous revisions even in the final days leading up to the wedding. 10/10!

    Perfect Experience for Our Wedding Ceremony and Preparation

    Bill and Joanne were an absolute pleasure to work with while preparing for our wedding ceremony on 10/21/23. We really wanted our ceremony to be the most important part of our wedding day and have a very heartfelt and meaningful ceremony. Our meetings and the resources Bill and Joanne provided helped guide us to craft our perfect ceremony. We loved working together and reflecting not only on the wedding but on our entire relationship and our plans for the future. Bill and Joanne really took the time to get to know us and worked to make our ceremony uniquely ours. We were absolutely thrilled with the outcome on the wedding day. Our guests are still gushing about the ceremony's meaning to them. This is magnified 10-fold to my new husband and I. We truly cherish our wedding day memories with the ceremony being our favorite part. We absolutely recommend working with Bill and Joanne with Mindful Ministries for your wedding or any life event.

    Mindful Ministry is Amazing

    Rev Bill and his wife Mrs. Joanne made our experience one we will remember forever. From the beginning they were professional, quick to respond and start our process. We chose three meetings in order to accomplish our ceremony goals. Rev. Bill was great when it came to scheduling for our meetings since we needed evenings as we both work days. He was thorough from the start with the layout and guided us when deciding the type of ceremony we wanted. Overall, the experience was great because it not only meant we were able to help create a ceremony unique to our relationship but also was able to bring us even closer during what some can think as a stressful planning experience. Rev Bill is so friendly and does give the freedom to the couple to express who they are while giving advice when asked his opinion. Mrs. Joanne works so hard when putting together the drafts of the ceremony that you and your partner will edit to ultimately make your final ceremony. Both are great to work with and made our ceremony the best it could be! We are forever grateful and highly recommend Mindful Ministry to all engaged couples who are planning their forever!

    Thorough & Detailed

    Rev. Bill Mies and his wife Joanne did an amazing job helping us create and carry out our wedding ceremony. They met with us on 3 separate occasions and really got to know us as individuals and as a couple (we strongly believe this is what sets them apart from other officiants). When it came time to develop a ceremony script, Bill wrote a very thoughtful marriage reflection, which highlighted special details about our lives and our relationship. Several guests actually stopped us during the reception to tell us how much they loved this part of the ceremony. Bill and Joanne were very helpful throughout the planning process and were available to answer any questions we had. We are thankful for their positive attitudes and words of encouragement leading up to the big day. Thank you Bill and Joanne!

    Thoughtful guidance.

    Bill and Joanne Mies got to know us on a spiritual and personal level, and carefully planned every detail of our ceremony. We are so happy with their guidance and professionalism. They provided helpful texts for selecting readings and helped us customize the ceremony to the needs of our family.

    Exactly the right fit for us

    When we were planning our wedding we were looking for a person who could work with and support our Catholic roots as well as the fact that this was a 2nd wedding for both of us. We looked and spoke to 3-4 people but as soon as we had a conversation with Bill we knew he was the RIGHT choice for us! His flexibility and understanding made it easy for us to work together! Bill provided so many ideas and resources to guide us and help us create the PERFECT wedding ...even in a pandemic!

    The perfect wedding ceremony by the perfect minister!

    Bill and his wife Joanne from mindful ministry were amazing! They walked us through writing our script for our ceremony. It made for a very intimate personal experience. They really helped us capture “us” in every detail. He took the time to get to know us and our story in the most genuine and humanly personal way, that lead to the authentic writing of our vows and planning of our ceremony. Bill’s friendly and professional demeanor made him a joy to work with. He is welcoming and open to all ideas of faith and beliefs. At the ceremony, Bill arrived in the same professional, friendly, and positive way that we have come to know him over the multiple meetings we had. He brought a calming and serene influence upon his arrival that carried through the entire ceremony. We couldn’t be happier, he was perfect fit!

    Beautiful ceremony

    My husband and I cannot say enough good things about bill and his wife Joanne. He married us in September 2019 at our dream wedding venue in the woods. He was able to give us a highly individualized ceremony that incorporated me and my husband's vlaues and spirituality perfectly. It was a beautiful ceremony that we all worked together to create. Bill helped us in calming our pre-wedding jitters, and had meaningful meetings with us prior to the ceremony to help decrease our anxieties about standing in front of a crowd on our wedding day. At each pre-marital session with bill and his wife we spent a few minutes in quiet reflection or meditation that helped bring us to a place where we were able to truly find what was important to us to share and bring families together on our big day. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We highly recommend Bill and Joanne for your wedding ceremony.

    Mindful Ministry's reply:

    Thank you, Steffani and Justin, for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. This brings back to us many wonderful memories of our time working and celebrating together. We deeply appreciate your allowing us to be a part of your wedding experience.

    Dynamic Duo - Instant Acceptance

    William and his wife JoAnne were so accommodating to our crazy schedules as well as truly interested in getting to know us to make our wedding ceremony truly unique! We could not have asked for a better or more knowledgeable officiant, they even put our ceremony and vowels into a hard cover book along with our certificate as a gift at our reception. We are so grateful that we found them and that they work so well together that they are interchangeable incase one or the other could not be there which make any couple feel a bit safer when there is already a backup plan in place. They are the best and we truly consider them our friends that we plan on meeting up with around our anniversary times to catch up.

    Working with Bill and his wife Joann really made our wedding ceremony ours and we could not be happier about how it turned out! My now husband and I really enjoyed the mindfulness aspect of Bill's services and were very excited to work with him after meeting with him! He is not just in it for the money. He truly care about you as a couple and each of your sessions with him as you develop your ceremony is a growth experience, personally and for you as a couple. John and I immensely enjoyed the time we spent with Bill because it allowed us to explore and create a ceremony that was 100% us. It used our words, our beliefs, and our story. We loved being able to choose every aspect of the ceremony. Working on it helped us grow closer during our engagement which made that time all the more special. We had so many compliments from our guests about how touching, personal and unique the ceremony was. Bill and Joann were incredible to work with. They made the process easy and are just the most lovely people! Bill and Joann, John and I cannot thank you enough for helping us to make our wedding ceremony so incredible special. We loved getting to know you both feel truly blessed to have gotten to work with you! You far exceeded our expectations and for that we are eternally grateful!

    Rev. Bill Mies was the most positive, memorable part of our entire wedding journey! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bill.

    My husband and I met with Bill four times before the big day. Initially we thought we were just getting to know each other...but each visit became more and more meaningful. Not only did we get to learn about Bill, but I learned more about myself as an individual, I learned about my husband, and I learned what is needed in order to build a solid marriage/relationship.

    To us, it was important to know what was going to be said at our ceremony. And this is one of the reasons why Bill was so wonderful to work with. He helped us create and design our own ceremony. He provided us with the basic guidelines and we were able to pick our readings and each piece of the ceremony ourselves. During the third and fourth visit, we went through the entire ceremony. As a bride, this helped me feel at ease during the big day. I walked down the aisle feeling amazingly comfortable and I owe this to Rev. Bill!

    We received and are still receiving countless positive comments on our ceremony and vows. Everyone feels our ceremony was unique and so meaningful, not your average wedding ceremony.

    I am so fortunate to have crossed paths with Rev. Bill and cannot thank him enough for being part of our special day!

    The exact ceremony we wanted!

    When we got engaged, we knew we wanted a meaningful ceremony that reflected us as a couple, included some aspects of God/religion, and would be performed by someone who married ALL couples. Bill and Joanne were the perfect officiants for this! They were a pleasure to work with. The first meeting, which was free, we could immediately see their attention to detail and how they truly care about each couple and making the best wedding ceremony possible. We loved how we could pick and choose exactly what would be said in the ceremony, and what Bill would say of us. Bill and Joanne were super responsive and their input based off their vast experience was very insightful while respecting what we wanted. Working with them was the most enjoyable and least stressful part of the wedding planning process. On our wedding day, we felt very comfortable in front of everyone because of the preparation Bill and Joanne put into our ceremony.

    Bill is a Gem

    I've been working with Bill in his terrific MBSR program and can't give him enough accolates to do him justice. Not only is he a compassionate man, he is a caring and knowledgable teacher. His guided meditations are captivating - I've never experienced anything like them. Can write another thousand words but there is no room here. If you have an opportunity to learn from him, don't pass it up - you'll be a better person for it.

    Bill and Joanne were incredible to work with! They spent a significant amount of time meeting with us and not only helping us create our dream ceremony but also taking the time to personally get to know us! All of our guests raved about it being one of the nicest wedding ceremonies they attended! I would recommend Bill and Joanne to anyone!

    Beautiful Ceremony Thanks to Mindful Ministry!!

    From the very first meeting with Rev. Bill and Joanne, I knew we didn't need to look any further for our wedding officiant. Bill and Joanne were extremely kind, responsive, and detailed throughout our entire wedding planning process. In fact, with all the wedding planning frenzy, our meetings with Bill and Joanne were a space of peace that helped my partner and I reflect on our love which was at the center of this happy occasion. Our meetings were extremely therapeutic and during them, Bill got to know us extremely well as individuals and as a couple. He helped us build our ceremony script while Joanne handled many of the logistics of the ceremony. Our families come from different religious backgrounds and Bill helped us create a ceremony that honored that and unified our families under one message. I never thought our wedding ceremony could truly capture the love between my husband and me but Bill showed us otherwise. It ended up being the most beautiful ceremony that brought almost all of our guests to tears. We are over the moon that we chose Mindful Ministry for our wedding. Thanks to them we had our dream ceremony that we will remember forever and on top of it met two of the most kind souls we have come across. I would highly recommend them to every couple!

    Guides Through Developing a Mindful Experience

    We wanted our ceremony to be the most memorable part of our wedding. We yearned to share the spirituality that had grown in our relationship and was culminating in our union with our friends and family members. Bill and Joanne guided us through expressing ourselves honestly to one another, as well as with our most cherished ones. We appreciated the time we spent with Bill and Joanne to ensure that our ceremony was a priority, and uniquely ours. They shared resources and support, and helped us stay focused on what was most important to us. We hope to have Bill and Joanne join us for any future vow renewals. Plus, Bill has such a calming and beautiful voice, which was much appreciated because we had an opening mediation rather than an opening prayer, which was a bit different for many of our guests.
