Northern Michigan Ministers

rtant for all brides to be on their wedding day.The ceremony was lovely and the words spoken from beginning to end was all I had hoped it to be. If I had any questions or concerns prior to the wedding I felt comfortable asking Judy. She read the "Union" by Robert Fulghum and "On Friendship" and then our vows that said, "You shall say to the world,this-is my husband, this-is my wife." What more could I have asked for; only the rest of our lives together.

. We both feel extremely lucky to have found Rev. Judy Grimes. Judy did a great job guiding us through planning a custom ceremony that was special for each couple. At our reception, we received numerous complements from our guests on the ceremony and specifically related to Judy (everyone loved her!). From a bride’s perspective, she is extremely professional, responsive, and personable – overall a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Judy to all brides, especially any considering a double wedding!

and Wedding Ceremony really helped put us at ease. He has pre-written ceremony options and reading suggestions which are all super helpful so that you can select what you like but don't have to start from scratch. I would highly recommend Ken for your wedding and you will undoubtedly be pleased with his service! We are so grateful we found him for our special day.

"officiant" while Judy was conducting a different ceremony for another lucky couple. Judy and Ken go the extra mile, being so generous to even invite us to their home to have coffee and get acquainted with us and walk through the process and what to expect. This was particularly extraordinary as we are Western Michigan natives who recently moved to Denver, CO and were not able to meet with them in person for the 15 months of our planning duration (for any of you who know what planning a wedding 1,200+ miles away feels like, you know the appreciation we had for that). We kept in contact with them for several months going over details, our written vows (which she beautifully incorporated and prompted in the ceremony), and the readings and overall flow of the day. They were very knowledgeable of all the workings involved with the Queen's Courtyard and were really helpful with organizing the sequence of lineup for my husband and his groomsmen. They are personable and accommodated us every step of the way to ensure that we would be prepared and comfortable. The biggest takeaway was how perfectly Judy officiated our ceremony, not making a single mistake and had beautiful readings and messages. She is sincere, kind, and has the best voice! So many of our guests commented to me afterward how nicely and seamlessly the ceremony was carried through. One other notable thing is Ken and Judy are also very mindful of your venue and wedding theme, having many different outfits available that they allow you to select from so as to harmonize with your ceremony and special day. I so highly recommend them. You surely will not be disappointed. They genuinely rejoice with you in your happiness and are a joy to work with. We cannot thank you enough for playing such a huge part in making our day so fantastic! We will have to catch up over coffee again in the future. Wishing you the very best! Kayla and Nick

ovided us with the perfect ceremony, taking the time to get to know us individually and as a couple prior to the wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and personal. She added such a feeling of warmth and every word she spoke was heartfelt, meaningful, and sincere. My husband and I are so grateful to have found such a wonderful officiant and definitely recommend her!

d her!

ey thought she had. She kept both of us calm the day of. I can't say enough good things. Judy really felt like she was part of our family by the end of our wedding day.
