my many questions kindly and quickly. Father Mike did a fantastic job on our wedding day, even with it raining on us! He kept his cool and made everyone feel at ease. He helped us incorporate some traditional rituals for our catholic based ceremony and even helped with figuring out our vows. He had a few options ready to go. My husband and I didn't have to stress about memorizing everything, which we greatly appreciated! I can not recommend him enough. Father Mike is a genuine and kind soul who loves love and makes your day just feel that much more special. If you are considering him, please give him a call. He is definitely one to book!

one continued to comment on how beautiful our ceremony was. Fr. Mike keeps consistent communication throughout the process and even after the wedding to ensure your ceremony goes off without a hitch. You can tell he genuinely cares and is a wonderful person to work with!
Father Mike was the perfect officiant for our wedding ceremony! He did a blended Catholic/Christian ceremony at our venue and let us pick out which pieces of the each tradition we ...
wanted to include. He has such a calming personality, both my husband and I felt so comfortable when we were around him, we felt like we had known him for a long time, which was great since he was marrying us! Also, he was super flexible when we had to postpone our wedding because of covid. He’s also really timely with his communications and keeps you well informed leading up to the big day. And then on our wedding day there was a huge thunderstorm coming our way right before our outdoor ceremony. Father Mike still carried out a beautiful and timely wedding ceremony that we’ll never forget! Thank you Father Mike for everything!

We were planning a destination wedding in Gruene, TX and we lived in Dallas. Father Mike made it extremely easy to get in touch with him. When we first contacted him he gave us ple...
nty of options and information on how to craft our personal ceremony. My husband is Baptist and I am Catholic so we wanted something a un-traditional. Father Mike had no trouble putting our ceremony together for us even when it got down to the particulars. We were a little nervous getting married by someone we did not know, but when we met him for the first time we instantly felt that he was perfect for us! On the big day he had a wedding right before ours in the same town but was able to make it without any delay! He even made sure to sign the wedding license prior to leaving when we were all caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day! I would highly recommend Father Mike to anyone!

y to emails and texts we had leading up to our big day! On the wedding day there were off and on rain storms and Father Mike was very flexible, allowing us to modify our ceremony basically up until it started and he still did a great job! I would highly recommend Father Mike to anyone looking for an officiant. The only thing I would note is that he does book multiple weddings for a given day so if you are very set on an exact start time then you should give him ample notice of that time so that he does not book anything too close and jeopardize your start time. Either way, your wedding ceremony will be just as amazing as ours was thanks to Father Mike!
Father Mike was so wonderful! From our first conversation to the day of the wedding he was kind and very informative. He chose the perfect readings and vows. He included our moms...
and our children in the unity candle ceremony which meant so much to us. If your looking for an officiant that will be by your side the entire process and is kind and caring look no further! Father Mike will make your special day amazing! Thank you Father Mike for helping make our wedding day more than any fairytale I could have imagined! Love Ashley
Father Mike was amazing! I changed everything about my wedding last minute and contacted him as soon as I figured the new date. He was responsive immediately! He gave me costs up f...
ront and the was cost reasonable considering the traveling expense. Even more so he hiked up an unmarked path through a state park in the rain!! He is the definition of a person who does whatever it takes to ensure you are happy with the services he provides. He is absolutely judgement free and provides various vows to choose from. There was slight issue with our marriage license and he gladly eased my stress by being super flexible with dates and paperwork. I could not say enough about Father Mike. He is the best in professionalism and value. I highly recommend him.
Father Mike made himself readily available to meet prior to our wedding however, after booking him 6 months in advance as our wedding date got closer he notified us that he booked ...
another wedding on our day and would send his colleague (even though we had already signed a contract and paid in full for his services. Still not sure why another wedding booked later took precedence over ours?). We loved Father Mike when we meet. However, his colleague Mike Crispin that he sent in his place the day of our wedding showed up 20 minutes late without notifying us he was lost, stumbled through the readings, and did not completely fill out our marriage certificate. Most importantly he left out an entire hand holding ceremony that was included and reviewed in our final draft. We had multiple vendors that commented that he "did not seem like he was all there". Father Mike gave us a 75% refund after changing officiants but I would've rather just gotten the servies I had originally paid for. I have never written a bad review before but the lack of execution on a monumental day will forever affect how we look back on our wedding day. I need to make other brides aware of our experience so they can avoid the disaster of a ceremony that we had.
