About Pastor Michael
A Church Ordained Christian Minister & Award-Winning Wedding Officiant
Hi, I’m Pastor Mike! I have been fortunate to call East Tennessee home for the last 18 years. As a resident of the Smoky Mountains, I primarily serve Sevierville; Pigeon Forge; Gatlinburg, Knoxville & beyond! Ordained into full-time Christian ministry in 2010, I am blessed to currently serve a non-denominational Church in Sevier County. I married my best friend in 2013, and together we have two amazing children.
Less than a month after we were married, I returned to South Florida to officiate the wedding of a friend. The weddings of my siblings quickly followed, and from there, word-of-mouth kept me busy for the next few years.
Over the past decade, I have had the privilege to serve as a wedding officiant all over the Southeastern United States. From Churches, Cabins, and Grand Wedding Venues to beautiful hillside ceremonies and the Appalachian Trail, I have been honored to officiate in many settings. If anyone is looking for their “Fairytale Wedding Officiant” for a Disney Parks Wedding, let me know! As a fan, that’s an experience that’s on my “bucket list”!
It was only in the last few years that I began to list my services publicly, and in that time, I have been the honored recipient of multiple awards. Being part of this special moment for so many couples is addicting! I love getting to talk to couples and hearing their love story along with their hopes and dreams for the future!
Your wedding is a celebration, and I desire to help you make it perfect! In addition to the ceremony, pre-marital counseling is also available upon request. Through this time together, it is my goal to help prepare you for the journey ahead and a lifetime of happiness.
I look forward to working with you, to make your day incredible!
– Pastor Mike
Flexible, Personable, and Overall a Delight to Work With!
“We got to know Pastor Mike through our pre-marital counseling, and he really delivered on the day of our wedding! Everything he said during our ceremony was customized to relate back to our personalities and relationship. Our guests said that it seemed like we had known him for a long time! On the day of the wedding, he made sure to arrive on time, spoke with myself and my husband separately to make sure we were ready, and helped calm any last minute nerves. He was also flexible with my crazy schedule in trying to schedule our counseling sessions which was highly appreciated!”
