“…thank you for all the kind words and professionalism you shared in making Art’s memorial service so special.
Thank goodness Jill had the right contact - otherwise it would have proceeded on a wing and a prayer hoping it would go well.
It was gratifying to have your expertise and compassion.
I know Art would have been proud and grateful.”

“We just wanted to reach out to say how grateful we are that you were the officiant for our wedding. We continue to think back on our day and reminisce about how you were an integral part of setting such an uplifting and easy-going mood for the rest of the night. We are so grateful that you took the time to get to know us and that you truly cared about us as individuals and as a couple.
Your passion for love and stories helped create a ceremony that kept our guests interested, laughing, and even a little teary-eyed.
(Not to mention that they continued to talk about how great the ceremony and you were all night long.)
We cannot thank you enough for your talent and efforts and we truly appreciate all the time you devoted to writing a story that portrayed where we came from, who we are, and who we want to become.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so so much for ALL that you did. It is so fun to see the reactions of our guests throughout the ceremony. Your story really made our guests feel invited into our circle and allowed them to get to know us on a level they might not have before. You truly did a phenomenal job and we are forever grateful for you.”

“It was really the last meeting that I really learned exactly what made my husband fall in love with me and reminded me exactly why we are getting married and starting this journey together.
We already knew almost everything there is to know about each other, but Michael helped us understand how we really are a strong team and balance each other out.”
Lauren & Nasir, September 2018
“Directly after the wedding ceremony and even months later, our guests kept asking us ‘Who was your friend who officiated the wedding? He did such a great job at sharing your story.’
Everyone assumes Michael has been a long time friend of ours because he told our story so personally. But this is due to the relationship we built together telling him our story to prepare for the wedding ceremony, we had never met Michael prior to planning our wedding.
My mom often tells me how our wedding was the most unique and personal wedding she’s ever been to and how she loved it and wishes more weddings were like that – A big part of that is because of the work Michael did with us to help us share our story with our family.”
Casey & Katie, June 2018
“Almost every single one of our guests said:
‘Wow! Your officiant was great!
Have you been friends with him for awhile?
I’m now thinking about renewing our vows!
That was the best wedding ceremony we’ve ever been to!’”
Missy & Joe, September 2018
“From the first conversation we had with Michael our nerves about hiring a total stranger to officiate our super intimate wedding were alleviated.
Our ceremony turned out to be exactly what we wanted –
personal, light-hearted, funny, and sentimental.
Michael was a hit with our whole party –
he fit right into the group and had thoughtful conversations with a bunch of our guests.
They all made a point to let us know how much they loved him!”
Daniela & Christian, 2018
“Everyone at our wedding loved him.
He was the most talked about element of our wedding.
He made the whole process easy and was incredibly easy to talk to.
We are so thankful and blessed to have met Michael.”
Courtney & Thomas, September 2018
“Michael demonstrated genuine interest in our lives and truly wanted to immerse himself in our story. As he said at the beginning, his goal was to ‘fall in love with us.’ At first, I thought that sounded trite, and might just be a line used to seduce couples into hiring him, but it was nothing like that.
Michael’s authenticity put us at ease and he treated us and our story with the upmost respect. It was an absolute joy working with, and becoming friends with, Michael. He created the most beautiful ceremony—truer and more reflective of us as a couple than I could have ever imagined.
I loved the process of watching my partner grow in his ability to share and open up about his experience in our relationship. Michael gave him the support and respect he needed to truly feel comfortable.
I loved the opportunities to slow down and reflect on who I was, am, and want to become, and how my partner and I want to intentionally and thoughtfully grow with each other.
Michael created the safety and designated time for us to engage in that reflection.”
Emma & Eric, September 2018
“Michael was an absolute blast to work with and he provided a perfectly timed ceremony with just the right amount of stories to make you both laugh and “aww.”
He definitely gets to know you and he was very easy to work with, highly recommend!” Danielle & Dylan, July 2018
“The ceremony was astonishingly beautiful; it was just so personalized, eloquent, witty, and touching. He was amazing. We ended up not having ceremony music due to some crappy DJs, he really made up for that. Gave us something great to remember from that day, I am forever thankful!” Natalia & DJ, 2018
“…god did you make it entertaining and do such an amazing job as our minister! People still comment on how good of a job you did officiating. Thank you so much! We wouldn’t have it done any other way. We love you so much!” Courtney & MJ, September 2014
“Michael gave our ceremony the kind of warm personal touch we had really hoped for. He also dispelled our nerves with some well placed humor during the vows. Above all he kept the day focused on us as a couple and the commitment we were making to one another.” Jennifer & Aaron, 2008
“When it came time to decide who would officiate our wedding Sean and I knew we wanted to do something non-traditional. I thought, ‘Michael is an actor, he can play a man of the cloth for me!’
“Michael wrote the most amazing “sermon” designed just for us. He made our day what it was meant to be. I am so very happy he can share his talents with many happy couples on their special day.” Jess & Sean, May 2008
