    Best officiant ever!!

    Reverend Michael is professional, personable, and so down to earth. He put us at ease at our counseling sessions, provided us with great advice, and was an even better listener. We loved his recommendations for our ceremony and he helped make our day so special. All of our guests mentioned how much they loved the reverend. He provided the perfect amount of light comical relief so that we could relax, and enjoy our special day. We highly recommend.

    Dreamy- Amazing

    Andy & I are so grateful of crossing path with Reverend Calderin (he was definately God sent). He made us feel so comfortable, happy and over all blessed. Don’t hesitate in reaching out!!! The preparation for the ceremony was amazing because it opened up conversations and feelings that normally couples don’t really think about and take it for granted. The ceremony was everything we could ever dream off. Peaceful, fun, easy going and most importantly Gods presence was evident. We are forever thankful.

    Reverend Michael is the absolute best! Our ceremony was our favorite part of the wedding weekend because of how special he made it. It was truly personalized to us and he balanced humor and sincerity perfectly. Our guests spoke so highly of him and how beautiful it was. We could not have dreamed of a more perfect ceremony!

    Dream Ceremony!

    Reverend Michael did a fantastic job officiating our ceremony. He made the ceremony personal with jokes and comments about us as a couple which we loved. Our ceremony was exactly as we always dreamed of thanks to Michael’s professionalism and preparation before our wedding day. He made sure to know us so on the day we were comfortable. He also was very responsive and able to adapt to our busy schedules. Highly recommend using him for your big day!

    Hopkins Wedding

    Michael did a fantastic job. He spent time with us during our counseling and was prepared to help us throughout our journey. He was wonderful during the ceremony and kept it fun as we were both nervous. He brought by laughter and smiles to everyone there and our guests were as happy as we were with his service. I definitely would highly recommend him, couldn't have asked anyone better to do it. Thanks again! Surpassed exceptional!

    Amazing experience

    Michael Calderin was amazing. He took the time to meet with us multiple times to get our premarital certificate and also took the time to chat with us whenever we had questions. He was sincere and kind to us and the wedding guests. He was such a pleasure to work with. Wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to officiate our wedding!

    Extremely pleased

    Reverend Michael was the absolute BEST to work with. He was literally sent from heaven, when we only had a few days to find our wedding officiant. Michael was referred to us by my photographer and from one day to the next he got us married. He was responsive, diligent, communicative and made us feel so comfortable. He even suggested a few things for our ceremony that were so glad we decided to move forward with because it made our day that much more special and meaningful. Because of him my husband and I now will now share a tradition on our wedding date, each anniversary. I am so thankful we found him, for his words and mentoring despite the short period of time we had at hand. I highly recommend him. Michael knows what he is doing and he will make you and your guests feel at home, happy and at ease. Thank you for being there for us on such a special moment. I look forward to not loosing communication! Blessings everyone.

    Our guests won't stop complimenting our ceremony!

    We are so beyond grateful to have crossed paths with Rev. Michael Calderin! From the pre-martial counseling to wedding day he was an absolute joy to work with. Thanks to him, our wedding ceremony was complimented from top to bottom. His words were thoughtful, purposeful, and he kept our crowd engaged the entire time. He knew when to throw in a piece of comedic relief and I truly can't get over how perfect our ceremony was. Thank you so much to Rev. Michael - the relationship we share with him will surely outlast our wedding season. He is the BEST!!

    Beautiful Ceremony

    Reverend Michael led a beautiful ceremony for our wedding. He is a wonderful officiant that wants to get to know you as a couple through multiple meetings and pre-marital counseling, so that he is able to offer a personalized ceremony. Everyone in attendance loved and talked about how amazing the ceremony was. He was able to conduct an English/Spanish ceremony with professionalism and grace as well as incorporate our Catholic/Christian traditions seamlessly. Also, he added personalized surprises at the end that made it difficult for me not to cry of happiness. We, along with our family and friends, would definitely recommend him.

    Best Wedding Ceremony!

    We highly recommend Rev. Fr. Michael J. Calderin to officiate your wedding! He took the time to meet with us several times before our ceremony to get to know us and be able to create a wonderful and personalized ceremony. We laughed and cried along with our guests during our wedding ceremony. It was a pleasure working with him and cannot recommend his services enough! Thank you for making our wedding ceremony one we’ll never forget.

    Perfect Wedding

    From start to end, Reverand Michael Calderin's responsiveness, warmth and attentional to detail was exceptional. He managed to capture the essence of our Catholic and Jewish faiths equally while personalizing the wedding vows of my daughter and son-in law. He spent time with them before the wedding not only getting to know they but also helping them open the door to discuss what they wanted out of a future together and did it working with their very busy schedules and not taking up too much of their valuable time. There is no one else I would have chosen to perform their ceremony or who could have made the day more magical.

    Very Pleased With St Jude Ministries

    Reverend Calderin did an amazing job at our wedding. We wanted a reverend like him who could do a religious ceremony with a mixture of English and Spanish, spoken for different sides of our families. Multiple people commented to me about how beautifully done the ceremony was while being led by Reverend Michael Calderin. We are very pleased with our choice to have him at our event.

    The best wedding officiant!!

    Reverend Michael is so wonderful! We can not thank him enough for the beautiful ceremony he gave to us! We had a blended religion ceremony and wanted to keep everything light hearted, warm, and loving. He was absolutely perfect. Many guests told us throughout the night that this was the best ceremony they ever saw! We are so grateful to have met him and know we will be lifelong friends. Thank you Reverend Michael!

    Rev Michael Calderin was amazing!

    We were so happy to have picked Rev Michael Calderin officiating our wedding day! We met for premarital counseling a few times which was very insightful, in addition to a couple of times to help plan our ceremony. We were so pleased with our wedding ceremony- he incorporated everything we discussed while making everyone laugh multiple times throughout. I received so many compliments on how wonderful they thought Rev Michael Calderin did with the ceremony!

    Wedding Officiant Reverend Michael Calderin

    I truly do not know what I could say to describe the happiness, safe, peaceful feeling that Reverend Calderin made my husband and I feel on my wedding day and even before. Reverend Michael truly makes you feel like you are the only couple in the world on your wedding day, as you should! I loved our talk with him, my husband, and I prior to the wedding. It made me feel more connected to him, instead of meeting an officiant day of. On our wedding day, my husband said he felt so at ease to have Reverend Michael there. He calmed his nerves and made us laugh throughout our ceremony. I cannot recommend Reverend Michael enough. I personally know 3 others couples that are using his services, you can be next!!!!!!!!!

    Amazing Wedding Officiant

    Rev. Michael Calderin officiated our wedding in December 2023 and it was amazing. Not only was the ceremony great, but he also helped so much with his premarital counseling and assisting us with how to acquire our marriage license. We got so many compliments from our guests about how great our officiant was. We can't thank him enough for making our wedding day so special!
