    Couldn't have made our event work without him!

    Rev. Ben officiated an elopement vow renewal for us in the midst of the COVID crisis, after we had to un-invite all the guests we'd planned to share the event with and convert it to a re-commitment in front of our children. He was receptive to what we wanted from the event and quickly in tune with why we were doing it, spent time getting to know us ahead of time via a phone call and an in-person meeting, and then put a lot of time into writing up a vow renewal service just for us based on a variant of the Episcopal vows we'd said at our original wedding. All of the above would have earned him a 5-star review -- but then, the day before our planned outdoor event, the weather forecast made it clear it was going to be a disaster, and Rev. Ben rearranged his entire work day schedule to allow us to slip a day into the work week, and made an extra trip to Grayling to officiate for us. He made our vow renewal the incredible, emotional experience we had dreamed of it being, and we can't recommend him highly enough.

    Absolutely Amazing

    We decided to elope due to financial difficulties and Rev. Ben Shultz work with us beyond belief! He actually did our ceremony free of charge an exchange for our wedding photos and review. After the wedding there was a little trouble in paradise and Rev. Ben offered services of couples counseling and to help in anyway he could. Rev. Ben is absolutely amazing and a God sent! We were even running late and he was super understanding and kind about it he made this day perfect!

    Perfect Ceremony

    We love Ben! He was fabulous to work with and help calm nerves by answering a million questions my husband and I had. He laid out options for our ceremony clearly and was so flexible in making adjustments to match the service we dreamed of. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

    Great Ceremony

    Made wedding planning more fun. 10/10

    Ben was fantastic. Very flexible and accommodating of what we wanted to do--short, religious ceremony. He also had great suggestions and was really helpful with pulling together last minute details. My husband and I had a lot of fun during premarital counseling with him, which we weren't entirely expecting when we decided we should do counseling. Awesome guy; he did a great job.

    Excellent!

    Reverend Ben did a great job! He went out of his way to make our accommodations on a remote spot in Mackinac Island. His wife took photos for us and they were so laid back and pleasant, just made the whole experience that much more perfect. Rev Ben was always prompt at getting back to me and worked with us for what we wanted to do. He was really nice and we highly recommend him !

    A terrific person to work with.

    Ben was extremely helpful in getting our wedding together in a short amount of time. He guided us without being pushy. Made suggestions to get the creative juices flowing. And ultimately, made the whole event much less burdensome than it could have been. He gave us options to customize our ceremony and make it “ours.” In the end, this proved to be the best part, as we felt like we really “owned” all the decisions on our day. I would highly recommend working with him.

    Yes, you should hire Ben!

    Ben was awesome! Not only did he conduct our ceremony, but he was willing to work with us on some strange requests we had (including striking down my best man with a lightsaber!). He was professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend him!!

    He was very helpful to me through the planning as well as during the wedding. Very communicative and friendly. Loves having him and his family join in the festivities and food after the ceremony. Good price and willing to travel. Flexible and stuck with me even when we switched out location on him.

    Ben is great! He's very laid back and super easy to work with. We have used Ben for a wedding and unfortunately also a funeral. He's serious when he needs to be and funny at just the right moment. You'll like Ben and you won't be disappointed.

    Ben waa one of the best parts about our wedding process. He made it fun, relaxing, and helped coach us through frustrating moments. His personality made it a joy to work with him. It's been almost a year and he still checks in and has been involved with a few other life events. We're so happy to have him as a part of our lives.

    Rev. Schultz was a Terrific Officiant!

    Reverend Schultz was such a joy to work with leading up to and during our wedding ceremony. He was funny and personable during the ceremony and really took the time to get to know my fiancé and me. He provided all of the information we would need to craft our perfect ceremony and vows. He was also flexible, allowing us to customize the service to fit our needs. We would highly recommend him!

    Rev Ben was incredible from the getgo. I always wanted my Grandfather to marry me, but he passed a couple years before I even met Nick. We decided to find someone that wasnt associated with either of our families. I found Rev Ben and we talked for quite a while, and we invited him over for dinner to meet Nick. He was always available and tailored our service perfectly down to every detail. We have been married almost a year now and still stay in touch with him. I would recommend his services to anyone looking!!! Thank you, Ben!

    Amazing Service

    Pastor Ben gave us all the flexibility we wanted, resulting in the perfect ceremony for us. We wanted a non-denominational ceremony, he gave it to us. My aunt used to be a Pastor, and it was my dream to have her help with my wedding, Pastor Ben graciously worked with my aunt, making sure it was a legal process. It was perfect and we can't thank him enough for the wonderful experience we had on our wedding day! Thank you Pastor Ben!
