Why Choose Mike
Hey, I'm Mike! Some are NBA legends, some are kings of pop, another one was a ruthless boxer, and I believe one was even known as Magic — as for me, I'm just ordinary Mike. But just like those Mikes, I'm overly passionate about something: the meaning and beauty of biblical marriage.
"Doing life as a team is the absolute best."
If you're reading this, congratulations — you're about to embark on one of the greatest blessings life has to offer. I would be overjoyed to join you two, encourage you, and craft a custom ceremony that is completely, uniquely yours.
No templates, no scripts borrowed from the internet. Every word is written specifically for you — your story, your vows, your moment.
Rooted in the biblical definition of marriage, I bring reverence, warmth, and genuine Christian faith to your ceremony without feeling rigid or impersonal.
Celebrate how far you've come. Whether it's five years or fifty, I'll help you honor your commitment all over again.
Intimate doesn't mean less meaningful. I'll create a beautiful, legal ceremony for just the two of you — wherever you choose.
Calm nerves and confidence before the big day. I'll walk your wedding party through every step so the ceremony flows perfectly.
Don't see exactly what you're looking for? I'm always open to working with your vision, whatever it looks like. Let's talk.

Mike made it a point to get to know me and my fiancé by always communicating with us and meeting with us as many times as we wanted before our ceremony. He was awesome — so personable, made everyone laugh, cry, and just feel at ease. Mike ran the show so perfectly we couldn't have gotten a better officiant to make our big day feel so special!
From the moment we met Mike, we knew he was the right choice. He took real time to understand our story and who we are as a couple. On our wedding day, Mike delivered a beautiful ceremony that felt natural and personal. Our guests kept saying it seemed like Mike had been part of our crew forever. He is truly dedicated to his craft and goes above and beyond for every couple.
Mike made our wedding unique and meaningful. He went out of his way to get to know us and how we found each other. We met a couple weeks before the wedding, talked for 2 hours, and felt like we were talking to a close friend. He made our ceremony better than we ever expected it would be. Mike is the man, the myth, the officiant.
Married by Mike was the most incredible officiant we could've asked for. He met with us multiple times prior to our wedding day, learned our story, and developed a real relationship with us. All of my guests were raving about how wonderful the service was. Highly recommend if you want the most heartfelt, personalized, God-centered ceremony.
Mike is an amazing officiant. He made sure to sit us down to fully understand our story and use it to make our day even more special. He was an amazing communicator who went out of his way to understand who we are. Be sure to book him for your special day!
I have known Mike since university — he was my roommate and soccer captain. I knew how great of a public speaker he is and how personable he can be with anyone. He learned every detail of our story and personalized our wedding exactly how we wanted. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and Mike was truly the cherry on top!
Mike is the absolute best! He took the time to meet with us multiple times to get to know us and our story, then wrote a beautiful ceremony that set such a great tone for the entire day.

Mike was amazing. Everyone at my entire wedding kept asking me who he was and if he had been my friend for a long time. He was very caring and took lots of time to get to know us. I would recommend Mike 100%.
