  A 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 Ministry

  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,

  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!

  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.

  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!

  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.

  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!

  Incredible experience!

  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!

  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!

  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.

  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!

  Reverend Mies was a pleasure to work with!

  Reverend Mies was a pleasure to work with! He made the whole process easy and smooth and we cannot have imagined a better wedding. We were very involved with the ceremony and his words so it made it feel very special and specific to us as a couple. Would highly recommend him to officiate your wedding!

  Could not have asked for a better ceremony

  My husband is Catholic and I am Presbyterian and we wanted to have our ceremony outdoors by someone who was ordained. We searched for weeks without any luck and finally found Rev. William Mies and his wife Joanne with Mindful Ministries. They were not only willing to help us build a religious ceremony for an outdoor location, but also drove 6 hours to West Virginia to do our ceremony!! We met with them via Zoom 4x and they helped us build the absolute perfect ceremony that my family/friends could not stop talking about for weeks. Very thankful to have found Rev. William and Joanne Mies!

  So grateful!!

  Bill and Joanne were so lovely to partner with. They truly care about each and every couple they work with. Bill spent so many hours via skype and zoom talking to my husband and I, helping us to craft our perfect ceremony. Our ceremony could not have gone any better and really highlighted our love. Thank you Bill and Joanne!

  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!

  Highly recommend!

  Reverend Bill and his wife Joanne were amazing to work with. They took the time to get to know my husband and I individually and as a couple. They strive to create a special, unique, and individualized ceremony for the couples they work with. We had several planning meetings to ensure things went smoothly and were exactly to our liking. Can’t recommend them enough!

  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.

  Amazing experience, all around!

  My husband and I were nervous about finding an officiant for our wedding--coming from different religious backgrounds and with our own unique senses of spirituality, we were worried that we would not find someone to conduct a ceremony that truly reflected our relationship and respected our backgrounds. However, our fears instantly subsided upon meeting Bill and Joanne. They approached the creation of our wedding ceremony with such warmth, openness and kindness, and truly guided us toward making thoughtful decisions that reflected our unique love and relationship. Bill officiated our wedding ceremony with grace, humor, and respect, and I really cannot imagine that anyone else could have done a better job. After the wedding, some guests told my husband and I that it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they have ever attended. Maybe we're a little biased, but we agree :) Thank you Bill and Joanne for making our wedding ceremony so personal, heartfelt and memorable!

  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.
