My husband and I hired Rev. Savage for our March wedding at Bear Brook Valley. He was recommended through our venue. From the initial consultation that Rev. Savage provided, we knew that he was a perfect fit because of his years of experience, his great personality, his professionalism and organization. I was a very “Type A” bride, so having an officiant who was well organized and knew the “ins and outs” of the marriage license and marriage certificate process took ALOT of anxiety and stress off my shoulders. Post ceremony, we received a ton of positive reviews from our friends and family about how well Rev. Savage conducted the ceremony! Guests continue to rave about how organized, personal and time efficient the ceremony was. We can’t thank Rev. Savage enough for making our special ceremony so memorable.
Rev is amazing! We looked into working with Rev when my fiancé and I first got engaged, but ultimately decided to have a family friend officiate. Less than 5 months out, it did not work out with our original officiant. Luckily, Rev was available and saved the day for us and immediately put our minds at ease. It was meant to be! He is so professional, friendly, and responsive. People would tell me that it's better to have someone you know officiate, but after our initial phone call, it seemed like we had known him forever with how effortless our conversation was. Rev helped turn this process around for us and answered all of our questions. On our wedding day it rained and luckily Rev was prepared and has our ceremony script completely laminated! He even sent us a bunch of recommendations for spots during our honeymoon. Thank you!
Reverend Michael was delightful to work with. He married my husband and I on a very short notice private elopement. He really held our hand through the entire process and we could not have been happier. If you care about detail, communication and having a personable reverend officiating your ceremony - Reverend Michael Savage is your best choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Rev. Michael was amazing. He was extremely organized and clearly very experienced. He provided us with a variety of options to customize the ceremony exactly how we wanted it and helped with recommendation when we had trouble deciding on things. The ceremony itself was well spoken, clear, and sincere. I would highly recommend Rev. Michael to anyone who wants a heartfelt and unique ceremony.
I hire AnnimationsMkUp team for my wedding day.
They're punctual, very professional, and the art of Annika was incredible.
So happy with their service
Reverend Michael has been an absolute pleasure to work with as our officiant. We went back and forth on a few drafts of our ceremony, and he really seemed to listen and care about what we wanted our ceremony to look like. He also provided really helpful information about the marriage license process so we knew what the requirements were. Our wedding was scheduled on April 17, 2020 which we had to postpone due to COVID-19. However, we still wanted to get married on April 17th just the two of us. Reverend Michael immediately said he would be happy to do both and was very flexible which was such a relief. He was very responsive and really seemed to care about making our ceremony special even though it was very different than what we originally intended. Now we can’t wait for Reverend Michael to officiate our larger ceremony later in the year!
Working with Michael Savage was an incredible experience that I highly recommend to any perspective couples! We were introduced to Reverend Savage after seeing him perform an amazing wedding and could not be happier with his professionalism, support and guidance on our special day! It only took one meeting to know that he was the perfect person to facilitate our ceremony!
He is prompt, thorough, and helpful through the entire wedding planning process! We loved how carefully he considered our life, experiences and families in order to craft a ceremony that was perfect for my wife and I! In a wedding planning process that can often become overwhelming, Reverend Savage was delightful for work with, always prepared, and supportive of our vision for our special day.
We highly recommend working with Reverend Savage and know that you will love working with him as you prepare for the big day!
Two of our friends used Rev Michael Savage for their wedding and we loved the ceremony so we contacted him for our own. He was amazing to work with and helped us create a ceremony that felt personalized to us. We had so many comments on how beautiful the ceremony was and the special touches. Rev Michael Savage is very responsive and walked us through the whole process. He put us at ease and helped make our day perfect! I highly recommend him!
We had the privilege of having Rev. Savage perform our wedding ceremony on October 13th 2017 and could not have asked for a better experience. From the first Skype meeting we had with Michael, we instantly knew he was going to be the perfect officiant. He was extremely friendly, personable, energetic and informative. He was also super organized and made the process of orchestrating our ceremony super easy and stress-free. He was also very accommodating - meeting with us in person a few weeks before our wedding and actually showed a personal interest in getting to know us before the big day. He was also very respectful of our vision for the ceremony and truly brought it to life. We had multiple people come up to us after the wedding asking how we knew MIchael, telling us how terrific the ceremony was and how it seemed like he had known us for years. Needless to say, we would highly recommend Michael's services! You will truly be in good hands!
Where do I start? From the initial call to actually meeting Reverend Michael was an overall EASY and SATISFYING experience. Apart from being just an awesome person, he is extremely organized and offers multiple creative options for ceremony. My now husband is catholic and I'm more spiritual than religious, however, he was able to arrange the ceremony of our dreams. It was emotional, humorous and unforgettable! Thank you Reverend Michael for making our experience so wonderful and full of joy!
My husband and I were incredibly happy to have Rev. Michael Savage officiate our wedding. From the very first time we contacted him he was quick to respond. He is extremely personable, kind, and accommodating! We met him once to discuss the details of our wedding; he explained everything to us in detail along with answering any questions we had immediately via text. He is extremely organized and gave us examples of ceremonies along with taking the time to talk with us on the phone to make sure everything was perfect. The day of our wedding he came with a smiling face. Our entire ceremony ran perfectly. Even after our wedding he contacted us to wish us a lifetime of happiness along with follow up information regarding our wedding. Rev. Michael Savage has true compassion for what he does. He was a huge part of making our wedding day a dream come true. We HIGHLY recommend him!
I wish words could truly describe how AMAZING Reverend Michael Savage is... He was the officiant for our June 4th, 2016 wedding, and I can honestly say that if it were not for him, our wedding wouldn't have been complete. On our first meeting with Rev. Michael, we knew within the first 5 minutes that he was the "one." He's charismatic, professional, kind-hearted, well spoken, intelligent, funny and overall - INCREDIBLE! He reviewed all the material for the event, and made sure to customize it just for us... He was extremely patient with the changes I had to make (including the changes I had the day before), and he always returned my e-mails and texts. The day of the wedding he arrived early, and made sure to take care of all the details... The ceremony was everything we hoped it would be and MORE!!!! Every word, every gesture, and every second was PERFECTION!!! Reverend Michael is a GOD SENT, and will always be a friend to us. Do NOT hesitate to have him officiate your special day - he will surpass your every expectation. THANK YOU!!!! :)
From our first correspondence with Rev. Savage, my fiancé and I knew that he would be a perfect fit to officiate our wedding. While both Mike and I are considered Catholic, Mike never had his confirmation due to a sickness. Since I had always dreamed of having my wedding outdoors, and he never got confirmed, we decided that we did not need a Priest, as did we need to be married in a church, and we did not want to take several pre-cana courses. I should mention here that we had been together for 9 years before we married, and lived with each other for a few years, as well. After emailing with him a couple times, we decided to meet with Reverend Savage. Rev. Michael Savage was so sweet, personable and understanding of our choices. Once it was time for us to choose our readings and our vows, he was more than willing to help us, and to allow us to really personalize our ceremony, and to choose any readings and vows that fit our relationship, rather than having to choose only from his list of readings. He was very responsive to my emails, for which I am super grateful. Jumping ahead to the day of our ceremony, it was HOT outside. Super humid! We opted to still have our ceremony outdoors, as that was our vision for the day. Rev. Savage did an incredible job; he was professional, yet witty, and got all of us out of the ceremony space and into the air conditioning within about 20 minutes. Overall, Reverend Savage was an absolute gem, and he made our wedding ceremony so special and unique to us as a couple. I will recommend him to each and every one of my friends!
As a couple with mixed religious involvement our experience with Rev. Michael was great. From the beginning he expressed having a ceremony the way WE envisioned it, and that we could integrate whatever we wanted as part of the experience. Following our initial meeting he provided us with over a dozen files through email, one per each section of the wedding, and within each doc there were many iterations of how that a portion of the wedding could be handled. In many cases, the samples were sufficient enough to make a selection, however we were able to tweak, reword, or just write something fresh if we didn’t find a perfect fit.
That leads me to leads me up to the wedding, where he confirmed beforehand the day/time with us, and showed up early. Given that we had an outdoor wedding there were definitely some logistically issues that I’d recommend be coordinated upfront. One area for improvement is that the Rev. does not have his own microphone and speaker equipment, so he needed to coordinate with the ceremony musician. From a ceremony perspective the Rev. was articulate and read EXACTLY what we gave to him in the earlier docs --- word for word. He also did not digress which really made it all flow smoothly. All and all we thought he did a great job.
Reverend Michael Savage officiated our intimate wedding ceremony last month which was simply amazing and we couldn't imagine anyone any better. From the first time we spoke, he was very personable, enthusiastic, genuine, and extremely easy to work with. In the months leading up to our wedding, he was always readily available and responsive. For the ceremony itself, he drafted the most perfect ceremony completely customized to our theme and traditions. We highly recommend his services!
