Reverend Michael was quick to respond to any questions I had. He was very organized and had many options to choose from so that we could compile our own wedding ceremony that fit our personalities. He has a lot of experience and advice to help make your day special. He did a wonderful job and everything went seamless on our wedding day. I highly recommend Reverend Michael to help make your big day complete and worry free.

The thought of planning our wedding was very overwhelming. Especially the wheres and hows. Then my wife came stumbled across a youtube video introducing Michael. So we watched it together and called to set up a consult for the very next day. If you are still contemplating and stressing about the ceremony, DONT. Call Michael. He literally produced the EASY button for the both of us. He is so nice and pleasant and reminds you that this is going to be your day. You are in charge. He will give you examples and experiences [he's been doing this for over 20 years] that will help guide you into making your special day magical. Ask questions because he has answers. We are very happy to have met Michael. It was meant to be. Thank you Michael. Side Note: Dont call him Sir or Reverend!!

Are you interested?

Reverend Michael was great to work with. He was very flexible as far as his pricing because our wedding was in Huntington Beach. He is really a professional and he has a lot of experience as an officiant. My coordinator recommended him because she has enjoyed working with him in the past. I was worried about never meeting reverend Michael in person before our wedding, but our ceremony turned out perfect and I was very happy with his services. He is great at responding to emails and I would recommend him to anyone.

I found Reverend Michael through Yelp.com. He had wonderful reviews so i decided to give him a call. After our conversation i knew he was the person to marry my husband and i. He was very detailed and helped me put together a beautiful ceremony. I had lots of questions and he answered every one of them. On the wedding day we were actually a few minutes late (sorry about that :) and he patiently waited with all our family in the gazebo. Everything turned out amazing and it was a day to remember. Thank you again for everything Michael, we really appreciate it.

I can't praise Reverend Michael enough. He was extremely professional and experienced in his work. He took the time to go through everything in detail, from wedding vows to the ceremony tips and insights, he knows it all and is happy to pass on his expertise to you to make sure your day goes flawlessly. We had a small wedding, with no rehearsal yet with his guidance, it was beautiful and perfect in every way. He took control of the ceremony and made sure everyone was on the same page, from the groom, to the wedding party, to the quartet and the coordinator. He kept reminding me it was my day and was happy to accommodate every detail of my vision.

We were going to have a friend officiant our ceremony, but I am truly happy we decided to go with a professional, and no one is more experienced in this field then Reverend Michael. Kudos, and thank you from both of us.

It was our pleasure to meet Reverend Michael as the officiant on our wedding ceremony at Laguna Beach, CA. His intelligence, wisdom and high professionalism impressed us from the first moment that we knew him. We are very grateful for the warm and wise advices Reverend Michael gave us before and after the ceremony and the way he conducted one. He made everything possible to make our ceremony gentle, sweet and unforgettable.

Reverend Michael did a spectacular job on our wedding day! His level of experience is evident in his passionate and professional manor, which begins the moment you start working with him. He truly customizes your ceremony to your liking, provides plenty of helpful information, and had left us and our guests with an amazing and unforgettable ceremony. I would recommend him for anyone looking for an officiant!

I don't even know where to start. Reverend Michael was fast in responding to every email. His instructions were excellent. He was so personable and he made us feel as if we had known him forever. Our ceremony was PERFECT. I am absolutely confident he will be the best thing to happen to you too.

Reverend Michael, played a significant part in making our wedding captivating. His services were beyond professional as he took a personal regard in providing tips for our ceremony and allowing us to craft the words spoken throughout. He was very easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding and even offered his own experiences at other weddings so that we could learn from mistakes others have had and also successes he's encountered.

I personally hope many other couples seek his wisdom and care because when you have a difficult family like mine, Reverend Michael will make sure your vision and ONLY your vision comes true.

Thank you Reverend Michael for such a beautiful ceremony! Our guests all agreed it was the most elegant one they've heard to date :)

After reading all of the reviews we selected Reverend Michael to officiate our wedding and we are so glad we did!

He had so many ideas for our ceremony and took so much time answering all my questions and helping me plan everything out. He is very well spoken and arrived early to our wedding to meet our families and go over things with everyone. We had so many comments on how well he did and how special our ceremony was.

Revered Michael happened to be my officiant at my wedding by luck. I was looking for a wedding officiant a few months before my wedding. My choices for an officiant were not really working out. By chance my sister and her husband were at a wedding expo and put their name in for a raffle for wedding officiant services. They happened to win the raffle and low and behold I now had a wedding officiant. He happened to be available on my wedding date. I quickly got in touch with him and we talked for awhile about him and me and my fiance. Since I was planning my wedding from across the country we communicated through email and phone. I could sense that Reverend Michael has quite the experience. He was very helpful in creating a ceremony that I could personalize any way I want. He was able to provide suggestions and ideas that I could put together as my own. I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable in what he does. He was also very helpful in providing license information before and after the wedding, which was very helpful. I highly recommend Reverend Michael for any bride and groom looking for a wedding officiant that is professional and easy to work with it.

Reverend Michael was amazing! He let me pick and choose what I wanted him to say so that the ceremony fit our relationship. What we got was one of the most beautiful and perfectly fitting ceremonies possible and he even gave us all the credit by telling our guests we designed it ourselves. We got so many compliments on our amazing nuptials!

Reverend Michael was also much more than an officiant but a ceremony coordinator as well! He let everyone know ahead of time what to do, where to stand, what their cues were etc. He provided me with a ton of helpful information that most people do not think about which made it the best experience possible for not only us but all of our guests as well! My husband and I were very pleased with him all around and recommend him to anyone who wants amazing service for the best price around!

We had the opportunity to interview a handful of Officiants at our Venue. When we came across Rev. Michael, we instantly knew he was a perfect fit. It is rare to meet someone that is very detailed and thorough, yet has an artistic customizable approach giving us the confidence to have the ceremony we have always dreamed of. Even though you can tell Rev. Michael has been officiating weddings for a long time as he did not let us forget one detail, from getting our Wedding License to coaching us throughout the process even right before our ceremony to have a flawless moment, his delivery was energetic, charismatic, and articulate. His professionalism shines through, and it was evident he had taken the time to rehearse the words we customized for our Ceremony. Thank-you Rev. Michael for geniunely speaking from the heart and touching everyone's that attended our wedding!

My original officiant told us about three weeks prior to our wedding that he would be unable to officiate due to health issues. So, trying to stay calm, cool and collected… I searched the internet. I didn’t want just any officiant. I wanted an officiant who could not only touch my soul (and groom’s, too), but also the soul of those attending the wedding (basically I wanted some tears and laughter… lol). I read pretty much every review I could find for officiants in the OC. There are tons of reviews out there and it’s not easy. I came upon all of the great reviews for Reverend Michael and also found a couple of his tips videos for brides and grooms and after seeing those, I knew I wanted him to officiate my wedding. I sent him a quick email explaining my dilemma and he answered back quickly that he was available. He didn’t waste any time… from the beginning, he steps you through the process every single step of the way. He gives you tips on everything from the license, ceremony, how to deal with vendors, getting great photographs…etc. He will completely customize the ceremony for you. He is very thorough and detailed and if you aren’t sure of something... he will get you through it!
Ok, so going through the whole planning of the ceremony process with him… I thought I had a good handle on what we could expect with Rev Michael on THE day. I knew he was professional, helpful, detailed, etc. So, I knew he would be all those things. But instead of just meeting our expectations, he exceeded every expectation and more. He is amazing! He made the whole wedding party feel comfortable, including the groom and myself. The ceremony evoked both tears and laughter from the guests. We had guests coming up to us and letting us know how awesome the ceremony and Reverend Michael was. Reverend Michael gave us all the credit, but we couldn’t have done it without his experience and guidance. Thank you for making our day so special in every way!

Very professional in appearance and his services. He allows you to compile your ceremony or you can have him do all the work. We did our own and pulled parts out of ceremony examples he provided us. We loved how everything turned out. :) It was just so nice to be able to hear something that was customized by us and wasn't your typical "I do. Blah blah......holy matrimony" It was beautiful, easy to understand, and our vows were fantastic. I highly recommend him. He's no fuss... doesn't want a boutonnière, doesn't stay for the reception...does his job and leaves. He does A GREAT JOB!! His voice is clear and very nice to listen to. His appearance is perfect and professional. He gives you great tips for you to know before the ceremony like flip flopping the guests seating arrangement so that you are able to actually see your family during the whole thing instead of staring at your groom's family the whole time and your parents at your back. Little things like that make Rev. Michael stand out... :)

Michael was a fantastic officiant and went beyond all expectations. Michael's grammar, delivery and mannerisms are prime examples on how all officiants should be.

It could not have been better! Book him, you won't regret it!

Reverend Michael was the third officiant we met with. The first two were just not the right fit for us. Once our initial consult with Rev. Michael was completed, we knew he was the one and reserved the date with him on the spot. He was full of great suggestions for ceremony options and provided various language samples from which to choose from. He was genuinely interested in the quality of the service and made it clear that we had a choice in all decisions and reminded us that we had options when it came to working with our other vendors. This is easy to forget or not even be aware of which is why I'm glad he didn't let us forget that. His response time was super quick and he always provided more than enough information. We received several compliments on his heartfelt service and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Rev. Michael, Is the MAN. I planned a very special surprise wedding and without he advise and assistance it would not have been possible. His advise ans tips not only made the wedding but saved me a lot of money. His assistance with our vows made it easy and personnel. I highly recommend Rev. Michael as the first and only choice if you want your wedding to be a very memorable and flawless. Thank You Mike for making this unusual and perfect wedding happen.

My husband and I planned an elopement with only 2 1/2 weeks to get everything ready...the date snuck up on us :). I had seen very good reviews about Reverend Michael and when I contacted him, his fee was more than reasonable.

I had no real idea where to start or what I wanted and he walked us through each step of planning the ceremony including where to stand, how to exchange rings and how to include the few people that were in attendence. His input made a big difference in the specialness of our day.

With his help and the two wonderful recommendations his website has for a photographer (Click Chicks Photography) and videographer (A Motion Picture), our day was literally perfect.

I would recommend him to anyone with an upcoming wedding - large or small.

Rev Michael was fantastic. He was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, and he provided great advice both prior to, and on the day of the wedding. He is extremely easy to get along with and he kept things very lighthearted which made me much more relaxed. I will definitely be recommending him to anyone looking for an officiant in the future.

Reverend Michael was wonderful even before our wedding began. He helped provide insight on what to expect on our big day and really put our mind at ease. Although Reverend Michael does not typically meet prior to the wedding, he was more than willing to meet with me and my husband and walk us through the entire ceremony. Instantly when we met him, I felt at ease and knew that our wedding would be perfect. Reverend Michael helped us with the entire set up and was more than I could have ever hoped for. He is a wonderful person and there are no words to describe how much we appreciate him and his services. If we ever get married again, we will make sure to call him!

Rev. Michael was THE BEST!! He made sure EVERYONE knew their cues and that the 'best moments' were captured on film/video. Such attention to detail in a calm, relaxed manner...we really didn't need our coordinator! He was so thorough and made sure all details were taken care of, from start to finish. He reminded each of us of our cues (from Father-of-the-bride, to ring bearer, to the musicians to photographer..) His services went above & beyond simply performing the ceremony. His insight from performing countless ceremonies is priceless!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this nice man.

What a guy!

Reverend Michael was amazing, he talked through everything before our ceremony and put me and my wife at total ease. The service was beautiful, we cant recommend Rev Micheal enough.

He also gave us some great advice after the ceremony.

Reverend Michael was great! With him you get exactly what you want and not some cheesy ceremony. He lets you write your own vows if you want or he can provide you with some suggested ceremony vows and then reads what you put together so you know exactly how the ceremony is going to go. He was very friendly and was a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend Reverend Michael.

Reverend Michael is the best! Are you looking for someone who will cater to all of your needs? Someone who treats you and your future spouse as individuals and not just dollar signs? Then he is your guy! He made our ceremony so unique and perfect-- working with us to combine our different cultures and faith traditions and making our wedding truly about us and our family and friends. Send him and email or give him a call-- it's the easiest decision you'll make for your wedding.

I would recommend Rev. Michael to any couple that is planning to get married. From the very beginning - Rev. Michael met with us for over an hour to talk over details about wedding ceremonies and little things to pay attention to. He's very organized and pays attention to all the details. He's also provides very insightful advice. On our wedding day - Rev. Michael showed up early so he'd have a chance to talk to people in the wedding party. He also made a point to introduce himself to the parents and do a quick run thru of what's going to happen during the ceremony. Rev. Michael is professional and helps you create the perfect wedding ceremony.

Rev. Michael did a fantastic job... His detailed information form start to finsh is detailed, easy, and to the point. He does more than any other officiant does, he talks with family, talks with the bride beforehand, gives you ceremony layouts, very informative. He gives excellent tips for photographers and family members to get the best photos. I can go on and on, very nice man, great conduction of ceremony, I couldn't have asked for anything more. I would certainly recommend his services to any bride!

We are very happy we chose Rev Michael to officiate our wedding. He delivered a beautiful ceremony. He was very pleasant and professional. He is one of the few that actually shows interest in providing the best service and gives great advice as well as tips to make everything less stressful. Rev Michael was extremely easy to talk to and made it extremely easy to design and personalize our ceremony. He was always available to reach either by phone and quick to respond to emails. All my questions were answered. I would recommend Rev. Michael to anyone who wants a stress-free ceremony.

Wow. I feel like no matter what I write here won't be enough to express the awesomeness that is Rev. Michael. He absolutely has a calm about him that helps you remain calm. The details he gives you, options, advice, attachments... all of it is incredible!! He made it so easy for us to put together our ceremony, and what we came up with by utilizing the tools he gave us, was the most incredible thing ever. We absolutely loved our ceremony!! We are so happy that a friend of ours recommended him and that we chose him. We couldn't have found anyone better. We most definitely will be recommending Rev. Michael to anyone we possibly can because he is truly the greatest! Trust me (and everyone else here!) that you will be incredibly happy with him as your officiant!!! Thank you, Rev. Michael, for helping to make our ceremony beautiful, amazing, and unforgettable!! :-) <3 The Schemm's

We were very pleased with Rev. Michael. I loved that he gave us all the tips, tricks, etc we needed. We would've had no idea had he not told us. He likes the details and I am a very detail-orientated person, so he was a great choice for us! He even had photo ideas and knew when to step aside for certain shots. great! Also we loved that we were able to help choose our wording to make it more US.

Rev. Michael was fantastic throughout the whole process! He lets you put together the entire ceremony on paper - so there are no surprises or ad libs on the "big day". He provides sample ceremonies to assist with this. I also agree with other reviews that - although he enjoys sharing a number of stories - he provides you with invaluable advice and insight on things you might never think about - he is very detailed and thorough and is genuinely interested in making this day perfect for you! I would definitely recommend Rev. Michael to others.

Thank you Reverend Michael!

Reverend Michael was able to help me plan my entire wedding ceremony and I live in Pennsylvania. The ceremony is the most important part of the day and most couples have no idea what is even going to be said. With his guidance every word said during my ceremony will be what we planned. No surprises! So thank you, for your kind, quick responses and advice.

Reverend Michael is truly wonderful man. We just had our wedding yesterday and can't imagine a better person to officiate the ceremony. He reminded us key points in the wedding that was great for photo opportunities and different things that would make our day more special. Both our parents really were impressed by his speaking abilities and how eloquent he is. If you're looking for someone who's truly a professional and someone that not only makes the day go smoother but adds something special to your wedding day we highly recommend choosing Reverend Michael.

Reverend Michael was fantastic! Not only was he efficient, organized, helpful and on top of every detail, he is kind, generous and loving. He came into my bridal room a few minutes before our ceremony started and was so kind and calmed my last minute nerves with his peaceful spirit.
Everyone was very impressed with the ceremony and his speaking ability. He is so posed, and projected so well that we didn't need the PA system which was a bonus since it kept the feel more intimate. A few guests after the wedding said he had such a great voice that he should do voiceovers!
I would HIGHLY recommend Rev. Michael. His services were ABOVE AND BEYOND what I expected!
PS A little bonus after the ceremony, is a gift of a copy of your ceremony vows and a personalized certificate of ceremony from the Rev. What a wonderful keepsake! That is just a little sample of how the little details he provides makes him the absolute best!

He was super organized and did a beautiful job. He remembers the little details which make everything run smoothly. If you aren't sure about who to choose for your officiant I would recommend you go with Rev. Michael.

From the first time I spoke to him on the phone he was so easy to talk to which made me feel so comfortable with him. The ceremony choices he provides makes it easy for you to create your own. He guides you the whole way. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Michael for making our day beautiful. You are outstanding!

Reverend Michael was really helfpul to get us through the preparation of our wedding ceremony. He provided samples of ceremony types that we can read first before deciding how we're going to do our ceremony (we had a small beach wedding with only family and closest friends). He gave us ideas and feedbacks prior to the ceremony and was always available via e-mails or by phone whenever we wanted to ask questions. He was very attentive to details (he suggested how we should place our hands and fingers during the ring exchange so that our photographer could capture it beautifully), and he truly cared about our wedding, and was even able to talk to my husband to calm him down (he was very nervous about the whole thing). Our wedding ceremony turned out to be perfect and we were very fortunate to have him officiate our wedding. We would definitely recommend his services to others.

He is by far the best Officiant we have come across.

Reverend Michael is, hands-down, the best wedding officiant. The ceremony was professionally done, with no surprises. We received tons of compliments from our guests about how it was the best ceremony they had ever seen.

He showed up early on the wedding day, and was very calm in making sure everyone knew what to do.

We knew we were in good hands from the moment we met him. We compiled our own ceremony and Reverend Michael helped us every step of the way. He responded promptly to every e-mail, and I was just amazed at how organized he is, despite the number of weddings he performs, he clearly remembered everything we discussed and he kept a very thorough log of the e-mail history. It was a pleasure working with him. We could not be more thankful! He truly made our day so special.

We HIGHLY recommend Reverend Michael.

He responded to each & every request we had in a timely manner and he made it so easy to write & personalize our own ceremony. We received MANY compliments regarding how beautiful our Ceremony was and how well Rev. Michael communicated everything to our Guests, many said it was one of the best ceremonies they have ever attended!! It was a pleasure working with him from beginning to end.

If you are considering Reverend Michael then you are already way ahead of the game. I have helped many friends through nightmare weddings so I decided to elope with my fiance to Southern California. I was unfamiliar with the area so I chose the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel because I figured a 5-star hotel would have to make it perfect.

I used the photographer that did their hotel photos and she recommended Reverend Michael to me. Not only was he informative about my wedding ceremony, he also provided additional cost-saving tips and vendors. He provided several amazing ceremony scripts and was willing to make any and all changes I desired. He was prompt, detail-oriented, and the afternoon before my wedding he agreed to perform my wedding ceremony SEVEN hours ahead of schedule so my wedding wouldn't be ruined by the rain! I may not have had my sunset wedding, but it was absolutely perfect and it is largely due to Reverend Michael and the vendors he recommended. How many vendors do you know that can accomodate a bride by moving the appointment up seven hours? ALL of mine did and my ceremony was absolutely beautiful.

Thank you Reverend Michael for making our wedding day unforgettable! Working with Rev. Michael provided us the opportunity to create a completely unique ceremony, which our guests loved, and we will cherish forever! He walked us through the entire process, and was available for questions anytime we needed him. During the ceremony he has a calming effect on you, and is adept at orchestrating all the little details! He knows all the little details you would care about - and brings a personal touch to the day. I cannot wait to see the photos from our ceremony. After the wedding he sent us our marriage ceremony as a keepsake, and followed up immediately with our marriage license. THANK YOU to Rev. Michael! We highly recommend him to any bride or groom in the area who wants a professional ceremony from someone who personally cares that your day is magical.

Reverend Michael was a perfect officiant. He has many sample ceremonys you can look at so you know exactly how your wedding is going to go. There are no surprises. You can mix and match and even add your own personal touch. Everyone couldn not stop commenting on how much they enjoyed our ceremony and couldn't believe that we put it together. He lets everyone know that we wrote the ceremony and gives all the credit to you. He was very easy to work with and can answer any questions you have very quickly. I would really recommend him for your wedding.

We renewed our vows for our 5 year anniversary in Laguna Beach with Reverend Michael and he was absolutely wonderful. He was extremely flexible and laid back. He gave us plenty of vow options to choose from and with a couple suggestions from him, that was it. The original goal was to have it done at the Heisler Park Gazebo. When we arrived the gazebo was crowded. So we walked down to the beach right below the gazebo and renewed our vows on the rocks at the ocean. Like others have said, he was extremely professional and kind. We got re-married at sunset on Laguna Beach. It was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. And Rev. Michael had a lot to do with that. We will be using his services again for our 10 Year Anniversary!

Thanks so much, Rev Michael. Elizabeth and I are extremely grateful for the wonderful service you provided us.

Reverend Michael was much more than just the Officiant of our recent wedding ceremony in Laguna Beach. Over the course of the preceding months, he was our advisor, coach, advocate, sounding board and friend. Reverend Michael has a very simple, efficient and effective method for creating a professional and highly personalized ceremony. Through consistent and clear communication, we were able to plan the exact ceremony we wanted for our special day � from over two thousand miles away! The word is often overused, but we cannot think of a better one: our wedding ceremony was perfect. And we have Revernd Michael to thank.

Reverend Michael is very professional and very experienced. He offers so many tips and suggestions that you might not have even thought about when planning a wedding. We felt really taken care of. Wedding guests came up to us to compliment us on the ceremony. Reverend Michael is very thorough ahd he is very helpful throughout the whole process.

Reverend Michael is everything that we could have asked for and more. He gave us the chance to compile the perfect ceremony for ourselves, providing us with everything we needed to make it as simple as possible. He made the entire ceremony sweet and personal and did it all with an incredibly professional touch! When I asked him to help me add something into the ceremony for my grandfather, I had complete faith in him to surprise me with something and he ended up using the perfect words... just as I knew he would. He knew when and how to take charge of the situation and made everybody involved feel confident and comfortable. He was extremely easy to talk to and to work with online, over the phone and in person on the day of the wedding. Every individual that attended our ceremony has told me how beautiful it was and that is was the most touching ceremony they have ever been to. I am positive that he is the very best at what he does and any couple would be blessed to have him as their officiant, just as we were.

My wedding was on Sept 6th. And Finding Rev. Michael was the best thing ever. I knew nothing about getting married. Planning one, all the details, ect.. He helped me from start to finish and he was very patient and I'm sure I drove him crazy!
I wanted to make my ceremony was my own but yet have tradition to it. He gave me options on everything. He mentioned things i never thought of, or heard of. He cares so much about making your wedding perfect its unbelievable. He is so nice,professional and caring I couldn't of asked for anything more. The day of the of my wedding he was so nice to me and my family. He made sure nothing went wrong with the ceremony. When my wedding was over. I got so many comments on how different, nice and enjoying my ceremony was. I couldn't of done it with out Rev. Michael. Thank you so Much

Love,
William and Chelsea Arrowood

Reverend Michael was a dream come true for our wedding. He provided us a TON of information on different types of ceremonies with many different formats and examples. He was extremely thorough in explaining how to put a ceremony together. Our ceremony and vows felt extremely personal because we had every say in compiling them. He is professional and well-spoken. He made it stress-free and easy for us to create a special day. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Rev Michael made our ceremony perfect! Very personal, and very professional, he made the whole experience a pleasure for everyone involved, the guests and us. As a bride, it was great to have someone reminding me to calm down and stay present and enjoy my wedding. He made great suggestions and was very open and flexible. His ceremonies are beautiful, he always responds promptly, and he is very kind and funny. I would recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant.

Reverend Michael was WONDERFUL! He was so professional throughout the whole process and he was so thourough with everything. Any question I had, he answered honestly and very quickly. When he says he provides a completely personalized wedding ceremony, it's true! We were able to compile our own ceremony, word for word. It truly brought more meaning to it for us. The majority of the comments we got from guests were on how original the ceremony was and how much they loved our vows we had written for each other. He made us both feel very comfortable. Extremely professional and easy to work with. Even talking on the phone with him he explained everything and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend Reverend Micheal!! He did a great job. Thank you so very much for making our wedding so memorable! ;)

Reverend Michael went above and beyond the call of duty. He made preparing and personalizing our vows easy and was readily willing and available to discuss the details of our ceremony and vows. He also offered great advice based on his extensive experience. He made sure everything went smoothly during the ceremony, so that we did not have to worry about it.

Rev Michael was outstanding. He provided efficient and professional service, maintained excellent communication, guided us through the ceremony options and helped us create a unique and special event which will be with us for the rest of our lives.
We are both doctors, demanding perfectionists and put a great deal of effort into finding and selecting our officiant. We could not have been more fortunate, would not change a thing with hindsight and would recommend Rev Michael's services wholeheartedly.
Thank you so much for helping to ensure that our day truely was a special one.

Reverend Michael was awesome! He allowed us to completely tailor the ceremony to fit us, he was very responsive to all communications, had lots of suggestions for us to consider and was open to all of our ideas. He made sure we had our ceremony put together in plenty of time before the wedding and reviewed it with us to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. He was kind, fun and the perfect person to officiate our ceremony. It was very intimate and personal and very special. Reverend Michael will do both traditional and more non-traditional ceremonies, but ours was a bit nontraditional and I think sometimes it is hard to find an Officiant who is as flexible and open-minded as Rev. Michael. Recommended for all ceremony types, but particularly if you want something a little different than the standard.

Reverend Micheal is AMAZING. Out of the many Southern California Officiants we had looked at, Rev. Michael was definitely the most responsive and personable. His emails are amazing, they explain everything so perfectly. He also provides so many research documents and is available to help through many different ways of communication. He had many great ideas we ended up using , but ultimately it was OUR ceremony. Not something we picked out of one of his books, or something we copied off the internet. He made this perfectly clear. His voice is powerful, he had no amplification due to our ceremony restrictions, but no one complained of not being able to hear. He did not stumble or mess up any part of our ceremony. He was very flexible and helpful with everything. Definitely a gem that is worth the recommendation!

Reverend Michael was very helpful and truthful. He explained everything in detail which really helped. He worked well with our photographer which is very important because pictures are all you have when the event is over and he let our photographer know when and how we would be doing things so no shots were missed. He is just an all around professional amazing officiate.

Michael is the perfect reverend providing wonderful ideas and feedback that greatly assisted us in having one of the most memorable days in our lives. His proficiency and professionalism was only outdone by his warm manner and presentation. In fact, we plan on renewing our vows and there is no one that I would rather have than the Reverend Michael perform our ceremony, again.

Reverend Michael made this day even more special by how he presented us to all of our friends and family, the beautiful memorable words, the location suggestion and the special album he made for us. I truly couldn't have found a better officiant to create the best day of my life when I married my best friend. Michael, you will always be a part of our lives.

Much Luv,

Rev. Michael was a great officiant. He is extremely efficient: he was very prepared and made sure we were too. He allowed me to view him at work, officiating another ceremony a few months before my own, which was nice because it gave me a good feel for what my day would look like. (Not sure if the bride appreciated that, but I doubt she even noticed, as I slipped out right after the ceremony of course.)
It was exhausting finding an officiant who was a true non-denominational officiant. Many said they were but when I said we didn't want any "God" or religion in the ceremony, those that were supposed to be non-denom told us that we couldn't do that. One told us "I can't imagine having a wedding without God in it if one of the people getting married believes in God."
Rev. Michael was different in that he wanted us to have the wedding WE wanted and gave us the opportunity to write our own ceremony. He did offer some great samples to cut and paste and work with to mold our own ceremony.
His voice was great the day of, showed up early and talked with me and the groom, looked great and was discrete.
Great guy, A+

Reverend Michael is a very nice, supportive, and professional wedding officiant. He called me the day before our wedding to go through everything thoroughly, interpreted and showed me clearly what I was supposed to do in detail. In our ceremony, he came in early and worked with other vendors to make sure everything was well- prepared. Recommended wedding officiant!!!

He is amazing at creating a ceremony that is personal to the bride and groom. He is very approachable and always open to discuss any concern that may come up. He is attentive in returning calls. When meeting with him at the ceremony site he gave us helpful ideas on what may be more suitable for our ceremony. Being one of the best in southern california, he is very in demand. Make sure to call to check his availability at least 3-6 months in advance. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant.
