Spring Wedding in the Park

Michael Wilsonโ€™s calm, attentive, professionalism helped our beautiful wedding day to be stress free, and full of joy. At every step of planning for the ceremony, and completing paperwork, Michael was clear, thorough, flexible, punctual, and supportive. He brought a cheerful, confident, tone to our ceremony, taking care to fully support our vision and the needs of family members. It truly felt like he made our special day his top priority.

Wonderful Officiant

Michael was an incredibly professional and warm officiant! He crafted a lovely ceremony for us, made sure I understood what needed to be done prior to and during the ceremony and was always very responsive and accommodating. We had lots of compliments on our great officiant. Highly recommend getting him for your special day.

Superb service

Michael was amazing and professional from start to finish. He was able to offiate over our wedding after being highly recommended by my at the time soon to be mother in law. When I contacted him, he was more than happy to help on our requested day. He was very flexible and always answered any questions we had in a timely manner. Michael is so personable and charismatic I never doubted after meeting him we made the right choice. I love that every time I looked at him when he was speaking he was smiling with us.

Highly Recommended - Especially for Liscombe Lodge Weddings

Michael was friendly, knowledgeable and so close to our wedding venue! He has done many wedding there and lives close by so it was very convenient for everyone. He even met us in Halifax before hand to go over paperwork which is much closer to where we lived, was a huge help. I loved how customized his speech was to my husband and I, he let us make our own edits and added so many personal touches, all via email! Everything was so easy with him, I highly recommend him to anyone getting married! Thank you Michael for everything!

Micheal was absolutely a perfect fit !

Micheal was extremely accommodating. We had to switch venues, and he did so with a smile on his face. He was extremely professional, while be friendly at the same time. He really fit into our cermony smoothly. Would definately recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant.

The perfect wedding officiant!

Michael preformed our wedding ceremony for us and was fantastic. He made it east and painless to plan everything from provinces away. He was quick and amazing at responding to emails and helping out in any way possible. We had no idea what to expect with the ceremony and he guided us through everything! I highly recommend him if you are getting married in Nova Scotia!

Couldn't ask for better!

We couldn't be happier with our choice of Michael Wilson as our officiant! He truly went above and beyond in every way. He was great to communicate with leading up to the wedding, and to collaborate with as we were planning the ceremony. When you're getting married, there's a million things to worry about, but his professionalism and kindness leading up to the date gave us peace of mind that he would come through-- and he did! We got so many compliments on how great our officiant was, and we could not agree more. Five stars!

Thanks for Everything Michael!

Michael was wonderful to work with from start to finish. I knew after our first interaction that he was โ€œour guyโ€. ๐Ÿ˜Š
He was the definition of professional, had all the information we needed and was proactive in getting it to us. He we was flexible and helped us remain calm as we worked through logistical challenges (related to hurricane Fiona), but most importantly, he delivered a WONDERFUL ceremony. It was emotional, heartfelt, with a few laughs, and it really suited Jeff and I.

Everyone we spoke to commented on how much they loved the ceremony, and what a great job he did.

Michael- thanks for being such a wonderful part of a wonderful day!

Bronwyn & Jeff

PS: Pictures to come:)

Absolutely Amazing!

Best choice for JOP ever! Every single person after the wedding commented how great he was :) He travelled over 2 hours for us and we are so happy we went with him! No doubt in my mind that if youโ€™re on the fence of who to choose, choose Michael! He made it personal and we loved every minute of the ceremony!
