A Ceremony That Was Truly About Us

We cannot recommend Mike highly enough! From our very first conversations to the ceremony itself, he was professional, organized, kind, and incredibly easy to work with.

One of the things that stood out most was the beautiful love story Mike created for us. It was so personal and thoughtfully written that our guests are still talking about it. We had multiple people tell us it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever witnessed because they actually got to learn about us as a couple rather than listening to a generic ceremony. Mike made our ceremony feel incredibly meaningful, authentic, and uniquely ours.

Mike was also fantastic throughout the planning process. Communication was always easy, and he was kind, understanding, and responsive whenever we had questions. We had both a rehearsal with sound and our ceremony with sound, and Mike was incredibly diligent in making sure everything ran smoothly. He was well prepared, organized, arrived early for setup, and made everyone feel comfortable and confident before the ceremony began.

One of the sweetest surprises was the beautiful candle Mike gifted us, time-stamped with the exact moment we were pronounced husband and wife. It was such a thoughtful and meaningful keepsake that we will treasure for years to come.

If you're looking for an officiant who is professional, personable, and truly takes the time to tell your story, Mike is an exceptional choice. He made one of the most important moments of our lives feel so personal and memorable, and we are incredibly grateful he was such a special part of our wedding day.

Exceed our expectations!

Mike is an EXCELLENT officiant! He was very helpful with providing clear steps getting our marriage certificate, how the ceremony would go and which one he recommended for the vibe we were seeking. His ceremony is tastefully put together and feels very genuine.

Mike left us with a very thoughtful gift that time stamped the moment we were officially husband and wife to enjoy on our first anniversary.

We will be recommending him for any future ceremonies!

Best officiant

Mike was very professional and easy to talk to. He was always quick to reply to our questions and made sure we were all on the same page. We had a hand fasting for our wedding, which he executed perfectly. He had our parents help to make it more meaningful. He also gathered information about us to create a personalized ceremony which was incredible, i'm brought a lot of laughter and tears of happiness. Mike also lent us lawn games to play, which were a huge hit! We could not have asked for a better officiant. We highly recommend mike and we'll recommend him to everyone we know!

Time really did stand still with this amazing service

Mike (Mc/Officiant) and Andrew (DJ) were both exceptionally positive, high energy, professional and all around great people. The service was very good value for the cost and we have no regrets at all going with them. They really met all our needs, were flexible, and had a great mix between kind/patient and authoritative making sure to hold the room and keep things on track while also letting moments come naturally. I wish we had more pictures to show but wedding photographers take time so here's one of us having an amazing time at the dance floor

The Perfect Day!

We cannot recommend Mike highly enough! From our very first conversation, he made us feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for. He helped us create a completely stress-free ceremony, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our special day.
His warmth, kindness, and professionalism shone through from start to finish. Not only did we feel at ease with him, but our family and friends absolutely loved him as well. One of the most thoughtful touches was the candle he gifted us to light on our one-year anniversary—a beautiful keepsake that means so much to us.
Even after the ceremony, he continued to check in and make us feel loved and celebrated. We feel truly blessed to have had him marry us and be such an important part of our wedding day. Thank you for helping make our ceremony everything we hoped for and more! Love, Alex & Katelyn Biancale

Outstanding Officiant

Mike went above and beyond. His ceremony was beautiful and made my wife cry - and I was so happy, because I was in charge of selecting and hiring the Officiant. She's still over the moon about Mike and always references his words from our ceremony.

Mike also handled the ceremony music with ease, and led a great rehearsal, too...showed us moments that could be captured, moments we never thought of.

People asked if we knew Mike, asked if we were friends....well - we are now.

If he's available, strongly consider hiring Mike for your ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Reverend Mike
Reverend Mike
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 dedicated 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 8th 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.

From the Big Tub Lighthouse in Tobermory, to Muddy the Mudcat in Dunville, in front of 300 people or just 4, Mike will perform your cermeony anywhere, anytime, and will meet and exceed your expectations.
