About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Last update: November 2024

If you’re looking for an officiant who is professional, fun, friendly, and experienced in customizing wedding ceremonies to match what you have in mind, I hope you’ll take a moment to book an appointment with me.

I offer a wedding ceremony template to help craft a personalized ceremony that delivers exactly what each couple has in mind.

The majority of the ceremonies I officiate are about 15 minutes in length and are not religious, but I take pride in being flexible to accomodate whatever wishes a couple may have so some ceremonies are shorter than 15 minutes, some longer, and some that include religious elements.

Packages Offered

Ceremony With a Rehearsal Package for $550 taxes included.

Ceremony Without a Rehearsal Package for $475 taxes included (video call included to review everything the day before)

Just the Paperwork Package for $225

Officiant For The Day Package for $600 (For those who have a family member or friend they'd like to officiate the ceremony but are not legally able to do so. For this package, I work closely with that family member or friend to craft the ceremony with the couple, attend the rehearsal and guide the officiant for the day through each step, and attend the ceremony to witness that vows and rings were exchanged, sign the paperwork and privately prounonce the couple husband and wife

Mission Statement

When choosing an officiant, many couples experience anxiety trying to find one they can trust with the biggest moment of their lives. Some officiants are longwinded, too robotic, too over the top, or too religious for their audience. Married By Michael helps eliminate this anxiety for couples and keeps the spotlight where it belongs: on you!

My Wedding Day!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Michael was truly a steady and joyful presence on our wedding day. We threw him more than a few curveballs — last-minute location changes, back-and-forth on ceremony details, privacy preferences, and even tossing him updated info right up until the last minute. We didn’t have time for a rehearsal, but you’d never know it — he delivered everything with warmth, confidence, and such genuine care.

His words were thoughtful, his delivery was smooth, and his glowing smile added so much heart to the moment. He made us feel supported, centered, and celebrated.

I would absolutely recommend Michael to any couple looking for someone calm, kind, and adaptable to guide them through such a meaningful moment. Thank you again, Michael, for helping make our ceremony so special.

Super Experience!

We had a great experience with Michael. He was flexible with a last minute booking and working with to get a expedited licence. We will be using him again when we have our formal service next year.

Thanks again Michael!

Thanks Michael!

We worked with Michael to handle the paperwork for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went! From the moment we reached out, he was incredibly responsive and made the entire process so easy. He explained everything clearly, made sure we had all the necessary documents, and helped us navigate any questions we had. We felt confident that everything was handled correctly. Highly recommend for anyone needing assistance with wedding paperwork or to be their officiant for their ceremony.

Great experience!

We signed up for the Just the Paperwork package, and it was such a great experience! Mike’s video call was super helpful for understanding what to expect on the day.

On the wedding day, he arrived right on time, was incredibly respectful of us and our guests, and made the whole process quick and seamless. He looked so polished in his suit and carried himself with such professionalism—it was perfect.

I also really appreciated how quickly he responded to text messages, which made coordinating everything so easy. The contract was simple, and sending him the payment was straightforward. He’s cheerful, personable, and made the experience stress-free. I would definitely recommend him as your officiant!

A pleasure to have marry us

Mike was awesome!
From the first contact to the moment he left after the ceremony he was like a great friend with us. He was so easy to talk to, great smile and personality, he made the process so easy and his enthusiasm during the ceremony made our day extra special. His temple of the ceremony was a huge help on making our ceremony and vows ours, i wouldn’t have known where to start without it. I will suggest Mike to anyone else i know who is getting married.

Perfect wedding officiant

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to marry us on our special day! From the moment we first met Michael, it was clear that he was experienced, warm, and genuinely passionate about making our ceremony meaningful and personal.
Michael took the time to get to know us as a couple, asking thoughtful questions and listening carefully to our story. He helped us craft a ceremony that truly reflected our personalities. The vows we exchanged were heartfelt, and the entire ceremony was perfectly paced, blending humour and sentiment.
On the wedding day, Michael’s calm and reassuring presence put us at ease and made the entire experience seamless. Our guests also loved the ceremony, with many complimenting how beautifully it was conducted.
If you're looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony unforgettable, we highly recommend Married by Michael. He made our day even more special, and we're so grateful for his role in our wedding!
