First Kiss Moment at Outdoor Wedding Ceremony in Tennessee

Over A Decade of Experience

Even Officiants Have Reviews…
Choosing the right officiant can be difficult, so I encourage couples to take their time, read officiant reviews, and talk to their officiant, before making a decision.

Everyone had to start somewhere, and before I ever officiated my first ceremony, I worked behind the scenes at multiple Churches, helping to make someone’s big day possible. I have been fortunate to learn from some of the best mentors over the years! The first wedding I had the honor of officiating was for a close friend just weeks after I married my Bride. The second wedding I officiated was the following day!

At the end of 2021, I decided to list my services publicly, and after a matter of months, based on the reviews from previous couples, I was awarded “The Best of Weddings” and the “Couples Choice Awards” for 2022. Since then, other awards have followed and I’ve had the honor to officiate over 300 weddings for couples from all over the United States!

I would love to discuss your ceremony and earn your trust to officiate your special day!

Perfect Ceremony!
“Having Pastor Mike for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! When meeting him for the first time, it feels like you’ve known him forever! He is very personable and professional. He took time to listen to our wishes for our ceremony and did an amazing job. So thankful we found him. Thank you Pastor Mike!”

Wonderful.
“I had a hard time finding a pastor that wasn’t ordained for the money. Pastor Mike is through a church and is 100% wonderful. My husband was soooo nervous. He says often that Pastor Mike really helped him feel comfortable. Mike really listened to what we wanted. His ceremony was just perfect. Perfect amount of time and words. My husband was so nervous he forgot the rings and Pastor Mike made it feel funny and comfortable until they arrived and played it off perfectly. I wouldn’t have chose anyone else!”

Respect.
“Our time with pastor Michael was brief but with a long lasting impression. He talked to us and treated us like he knew me and my now wife like we were family. Pastor Mike was everything we could have asked for or more. He did our ceremony on a short notice and even stood in the rain to help with pictures. Mike walked us through every step thoroughly. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get married and enjoy a nice pastor full of personality and respect!!!!”
