Do it. Really. Do it

Michael was the most invested in WHY we were together, not just that we were together. He delved into things that made our moment amazing. Our guests spoke after about how he wove our love story - and honestly, I was a bit dismissive when he wanted "our love story", but he actually made it real, and not cheesy, and turned it into something that our guests actually needed to hear. Michael is one of few who actually cares, and (yes this was my second wedding) actually made it feel fun. Hire this guy. He is caring and smart and knows what he is doing. Thank you, Mike. You were so much more than an officiant. Especially when shit went sideways just before the ceremony, and your calm and experience kept me from losing it on people who hadn't set things up right. #groomzilla

Ultimate officiant

“Mike is THE ultimate officiant! He guided us through the extremely stressful process of preparing for our ceremony by leading a great rehearsal (note to couples: A rehearsal makes a HUGE difference - book one!) and made sure that our big day was a magical one. So glad to have had him officiate our wedding and make it a special day. Our guests commented on how amazing and personable he was."

Mike will be one the your best decision of your wedding!

I can't put into words how much of a great decision you'll be making with Mike as your officiant!

If you have any doubts, one call with him will anseer all of your worries and I'm sure that you'll gladly make the same choice that we did!

Going into our wedding, Mike prepares everything for the ceremony starting from the music till the exit walk, and has thought of every single questions we ever had. We're didn't need to stress much about the ceremony because Mike's always there to help answer everything and handle everything!

He also helps us prepare by having rehearsals for the ceremony to get everyone in the same understanding. He's really patient and his speech got my family and my friends all laughing during the ceremony! His prices is also really competitive!

Again, if you're looking around for an officiant, please give Mike a call. He's amazing!!!

Mike is so good at what he does!

There isn’t enough space here to give Mike the thanks he deserves for his involvement in our big day! Right from the start, he was an enthusiastic participant and helped us to build the ceremony that was perfect for us. He came to the rehearsal equipped with many examples and guidance and ensured we were getting exactly what we wanted, and created a few moments we didn't even think of. My parents loved his idea of "Hugs and Handshakes" and my photographer loved how he choreographed the placing of our rings.

My biggest appreciation, however, was his calming influence and organization on the day of, keeping everyone on track and helping us through such an emotional, overwhelming time. Thank you, Mike, for making this day so special!

Mike made our day absolutely unforgettable

We were absolutely thrilled with the experience we had with Mike! From the moment we first connected, he made us feel completely at ease and understood our vision for our special day. His warm, genuine personality instantly made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cared about making our ceremony personal and unforgettable.

Mike took the time to get to know us as a couple, ensuring that every part of the ceremony reflected our Love Story. The way he crafted the ceremony was simply magical—equal parts heartfelt, joyful, and meaningful. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how beautifully everything was executed. We've been to other ceremonies where they were very dull and boring and Mike made sure that ours was anything but. A recently married couple who attended our ceremony told us that they wished they hired Mike.

His professionalism was impeccable. He assisted with our vows, and answered every email promptly. We were very impressed with the way he led the rehearsal, and both sets of parents commented on how great he was, and our wedding party loved him.
He made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was punctual, well-prepared, and exuded such calm and positivity, which truly set the tone for our wedding ceremony.

We are beyond grateful for the love and care Mike poured into our ceremony. It was everything we hoped for and more—an unforgettable moment that we will cherish forever, thanks to his incredible officiating. We couldn’t recommend Mike more highly!

Wedding Officiant

Reverend Mike began his career in radio in 1988, where he started as an intern for Radio CORS at Sheridan College, Oakville. Eager to start working as a DJ, he began working at nightclubs and pubs across the GTA, often working 6 nights a week.

Weddings seemed like fun, and in 1993, he perfomed at his first reception. Fridays and Saturdays were decicated to weddings and the rest of the week was performing in bars and nightclubs while maintaining a full time job with one of the most popular and busy DJ company in Ontario.

In 2001, he applied to work for any major cruise line, and in November of that year, he was hired! No more snow, hello Caribbean and sunny skies! Working 7 nights a week, plus poolside and other activities, Mike won Employee of the Month in January 2002.

From 2001 to 2009, Mike worked for a few cruise lines, as not only DJ, but Cruise Staff, Crew Welfare Officer, Assistant and Deputy Cruise Director, and finally, Cruise Director.

Returning home in late 2009, due to an illness in his family, Mike started his own DJ business, which quickly became a popular choice with couples.

Mike added Wedding Officiant to his many roles in 2018, and in 2020, he realized that he had more fun being a Wedding Officiant. He loves telling Love Stories.

Now, in his 7th year and having soleminzed marriage for over 150 couples, he has added several components to his services, with special effects and rehearsal services. His goal is to tell your Love Story with facts and fun to resonate with your family and friends, to ellicit tears and laughter.
