Tim M. Sent on 01/10/2023A truly personal ceremony awaits
Working with Bill & Joanne was a very educational and rewarding process. They take the time to truly understand each individual separately before connecting you both together and unwinding the real reasons why you'll soon be married. We put in the work, (albeit begrudgingly at times) to end up with a ceremony that was not only personal to the two of us but provided our attendees & guests with a glimpse into our love and our future story, presently unwritten. If you want a truly personal ceremony from a dedicated and professional officiant, do not hesitate for one second to hire the best - Mindful MinistryMindful Ministry's reply:
Tim and Lauren,
Thanks so much for your generous review. Your thoughtful, kind words mean a lot to us.
May you two have a wonderful and long life together.
Our best,
Bill and Joanne -

Simon Sent on 07/16/2025What 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. -

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!! -

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.

Jenna Sent on 04/05/202410/10! 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! -

Maria Sent on 12/15/2023The 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! -

Shelby Sent on 11/08/2023Perfect 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. -

Anastasia Sent on 08/28/2023Mindful 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! -

Kristi Sent on 04/27/2023Thorough & 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! -

Angela Sent on 03/28/2022Exactly 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! -

Amanda Sent on 09/28/2020The 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! -

Steffani Sent on 03/04/2020Beautiful 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.
Bill and Joanne

Christina Sent on 12/03/2018Dynamic 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. -

Lyndsey Sent on 12/23/2016Working 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! -

Lauren Sent on 09/17/2013Rev. 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!
