When you work with Mike, together you will design a wedding script for your ceremony. If you are looking to have a non-religious function, Mike would love to help you organize it. If you wish to have a religious wedding, Mike can definitely help make that happen, too. He's comfortable across the faith spectrum, as his church work exposed him to a variety of faiths and various kinds of unique belief systems. Says Mike: "When you've been officiating weddings for nearly 26 years, you learn to be flexible. The day is all about the couple, not about me. I'm only there to help them to have a magnificent day to the best of my ability."
So, if you're looking for a wedding officiant who is affordable, fun, flexible, and well-experienced, please consider contacting Mike.

He took the time to get to know us, crafted a ceremony that felt personal and meaningful, and made sure every detail ran smoothly. And to top it off, he even sent in our marriage license for us—one less thing to worry about before heading off on our honeymoon!
We’re so grateful for his professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for what he does. If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony effortless and truly special, we couldn’t recommend him more!
