Rev. Michael was wonderful to work with and made our ceremony spectacular!
Rev. Michael was great! We eloped and were worried that a courthouse wedding was too impersonal and rushed. Rev. Michael married us in a garden, surrounded by our parents and siblings - and it was perfect. His words were heartfelt and he allowed us to add customizations or remove things, from the words that he was going to be speaking. Everything was amazing!

PLEASE NOTE: Due to check scams I DO NOT accept checks under ANY circumstances.
I am a retired ordained minister and wedding officiant based in Gilbert, AZ. I am happy to offer inter-denominational services to couples of all backgrounds, beliefs, and sexual orientations. I am flexible and versatile and can perform ceremonies that range from simple to comprehensive. I will tailor your wedding to your preferences in order to perfectly encapsulate your love story.
I have been participating in weddings in some capacity for more than 50 years. For the past 10 years, I have served strictly as an officiant. Recently retired from CVS Health, I am excited to focus on the pursuit that gives me the greatest joy. Namely, helping couples design the wedding that they have always dreamed of. I only speak English but can work with your interpreter if needed for your family/guests.
Most ceremonies usually consist of an opening statement or prayer, readings, vow and ring exchanges, the marriage announcement, and a final blessing. I'm more than happy to customize these proceedings to include or leave out God. I am fully vaccinated and able to travel most anywhere for your ceremony. I invite you to call or text my number on file to get in touch and see if I am a good fit. My desire is that no matter which officiant you select, that you will have a moving and magical wedding.
If your venue is more than 50 miles from Gilbert I do request an additional $50 for each travel hour (roundtrip). I accept Cash, Venmo or Cash App. No checks under any circumstances.
For additional reviews do a Google search for Rev. Michael Officiant which should show a Google Business where you can read comments left by others who I have had the honor of officiating.

I have been doing weddings in some capacity for 50 years, but in the past 5 years strictly as an Officiant. I retired from CVS Health last year and moved to Gilbert. My greatest joy is working with a couple to make their ceremony just the way they desire.
