Highly recommend!

Michelle was absolutely incredible from the start. She ensured we met (and was clear it was not a test!) and that we understood one another as it is a partnership with our officiant for our big day. She was lovely, professional, and our interactions were a joy. I had full confidence that our ceremony would be everything we had hoped for. I was wrong: it was BEYOND. It was the most special ceremony I've ever attended and I lost count of how many guests told me they cried through the entire thing. No matter who they were, every one of our guests left our ceremony knowing us, and our love story, a lot better. It was so special to have a ceremony crafted with such care and love, just for us. Michelle was professional and instilled such confidence in us the entire process. Highly recommend. 100 stars out of 10! Thank you, Michelle!

Magical, Personal & Perfect - 100/10!

We booked Michelle immediately after we secured our venue - she was our second vendor! When we met, it felt so easy - my husband and I felt an instant connection with her, that she just "got us". Michelle writes a custom script that you don't know till the moment you get down the aisle. She also sent us some secret questions to answer, which were also incorporated in her script (as we didn't know each other's answers till then!). The ceremony was everything we dreamed of - it was the embodiment of who we are as a couple. I am honestly speechless as it was so beautiful. So many people came up to us after saying it was the best ceremony they have ever been to. Some noting that if anyone in the crowd didn't know us, by the end of the ceremony they did and were even more excited to be celebrating with us. Michelle does incredible work, and we were so honored she married us. Thank you SO much Michelle!! If anyone is considering booking Michelle for their wedding - I highly recommend! You will be blown away with the story she will tell as you say "I do".

100/10 Recommend

Michelle was absolutely amazing from the minute we reached out to her. She took the time to get to know us and personalized our ceremony to include meaningful details about our lives.
She offered enhancement suggestions that matched our style, including a time capsule and a handfasting ceremony in place of traditional vows.
She was at the ceremony ahead of plan, and her energy and spirit throughout her script was like talking to someone we have known years.
Our family and friends all had nothing but positive feedback about the detail and uniqueness of the ceremony and they were hanging on her every word.
We would recommend Michelle a million times over - she truly made the day so much more special! Thank you!

The most cherished, special, ceremony

Michelle went out of her way to make our day the most special, but it did not just start on the day of our wedding, it started when we met her over a zoom call where she asked us the most in-depth, personal questions in order to specialize and customize our ceremony to be the ceremony of our dreams. Michelle made sure to include every special moment and cherished event that make us who we are as a couple. Our guests are still talking about how tearful and heartfelt our ceremony was! We will remember this for a lifetime, thank you Michelle!

Amazing experience- wish we could do it all over again!

All we can say about Reverend Michelle Scrimgeour-Brown of is: Wow!!! She was completely amazing and made our special day even more memorable.

My husband and I knew at our first introduction to her that she would be the best person to tell our story and marry us. It was a magical experience and we felt like she truly cared every step of the way. She was extremely responsive, professional, thoughtful, accommodating and captured us perfectly. We were so happy with how the ceremony went and received many compliments from our guests!! We cannot recommend her enough!

A magical tailor-made wedding ceremony

If you are searching for the perfect officiant for your wedding, look no further. Michelle is absolutely incredible. Well-spoken and amiable, she is able to construct a custom ceremony with such great attention to detail, you can tell she truly cares. She told the story of our love beautifully and made our wedding unforgettable. She was there to guide us every step of the way as well, making sure we understood every aspect of the legalities and answering any questions we had promptly. We could not recommend her or thank her enough.

The perfect personal ceremony!

When we first met Michelle she took the time to get to know us and offered lots of different ideas to ensure our ceremony was exactly what we wanted (enhancements, reading examples, vow/ring exchange ideas, etc). The ceremony she put together was a true reflection of our love story and all of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. We could not have asked for anything better!

The BEST Ceremony Ever!!!

Michelle was the officiant for my wedding on June 24, 2023. The ceremony was beautiful, heartfelt and personal. We loved that Michelle kept a lot of the ceremony content a surprise to us, as that made it so much more special. So many of our guests came up to us that evening and told us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed! From beginning to end, Michelle was so easy to work with, fun and flexible. She stuck with us through two postponements, one due to Covid-19 in 2021 and one due to the arrival of our son in 2022. Michelle was flexible, and even found a way to incorporate our little 10 month old son in our ceremony. We are SO glad we had Michelle officiate our big day, and would recommend her 1000%.

Michelle made our wedding day extra special!

When we began planning and contacting vendors, I did not know how much of an effect our choice of the officiant would have on our wedding. Michelle delivered a truly personal and heartfelt ceremony. Getting to know each other on our initial call was so fun and easy. She was also very helpful and took the time to answer any questions we had throughout the process. We received so many compliments on the ceremony, we would happily recommend her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
