About
As a Progressive Catholic priest, I officiate for people who have a Catholic background as well as for people of all other denominations and I do non-religious ceremonies as well. I'm blessed to be doing this work for over 30 years. I'm happy to say that I was one of the first marriage officiants on Thumbtack and I have been chosen as the wedding officiant by over 120 couples through Thumbtack. My approach is very personal; my fees flexible. I am glad to meet in person or to get acquainted by phone or video call, whichever is most convenient for you. I have lots of options for you to consider for the various parts of the ceremony such as vows, readings and plenty of ways to personalize it and am glad to send you samples. I love seeing how happy the couple and their families are after the ceremony. I do both religious and civil ceremonies and can easily incorporate languages and traditions that may add to the beauty of the ceremony. My mantra is that "It is your day and your ceremony" so I want to make it exactly as you wish. I look forward to speaking.

Father Mike in a word was fantastic! Our initial contact was very easy going and uncomplicated. With terrible weather nearing, Father Mike also accommodated us having our meetings over SKYPE. Father Mike provided us with a template agenda of different ceremony scenarios we could choose to follow. That was a blessing in itself. We wanted a short ceremony so we could select how the ceremony proceeded. To beat that, Father Mike also provided us with many different readings, which also included our own personal song, which described our relationship. We were really moved finding our words in his selection of readings. Father Mike's kindness and interest in our ceremony could be felt in each of our conversations. And what he learned about us he incorporated in our ceremony. We thank Father Mike for also saving us when one of our Unity candles didn't work. Father Mike made an otherwise uneasy and difficult situation, funny and so true how many things in our lives are not perfect. His sincerity could be felt by all who attended. When you speak with Father Mike you will feel comfortable as you would with a family member. We felt so relieved and asked to have him join our reception. Thank you again for such a great day Father Mike! All our love, Lana and Mark

Father Callaham officiated my catholic wedding last December. He did a wonderful job and I would recommend him to anyone. He made our wedding so simple classy sophisticated. He did the ceremony in both English and Spanish, even though he's not native Spanish speaker, he does it very well, very clearly. First, we spoke with him a couple of times over the phone and then we met in person. He wanted us to discuss with him how exactly was the wedding we dreamt of. He's a good listener and kept into account every detail we told him. He even gave us very good ideas of things that we weren't even thinking about, gave us a wide selection of beautiful and appropriate readings including from the Bible. I wouldn't think twice if I had to recommend father Callaham to anyone , very professional and also punctual! he arrive to the venue an hour earlier!! Just the best officiant! :)

Reverend Michael Callahan was a pleasure to work with. We sat down with him and he helped us put together a beautiful ceremony. He listened to everything we said, and made our wedding day wonderful. Everyone who attended the ceremony thought it was one of the best they've been to. He was easy to contact whenever I had any questions. He arrived on time for the ceremony, and put us both at ease with his professionalism. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Michael!!

Father Callahan presided over our Wedding. It was important to us to have Catholic ceremony even though we did not have a traditional Catholic Wedding (not in a church). We met Father Callahan at his home for a meet and greet and to discuss our needs. He was very much eager to get to know us and understand what we wanted. After our meeting, he sent us several sample vows, readings, etc. that we could choose from, and of course allowed us to choose our own if we wished. He was very easily reachable leading up into the wedding and responded quickly. Most importantly, he showed up on time (early actually), and did an excellent job with leading the ceremony. In fact, during the event (it was outdoors) a mockingbird started to sing just in earshot of us which he wound up incorporating into his speech. It wound up being a wonderful wedding, and I have to thank Father Callahan for a big part of that. I would highly recommend him as a Wedding Officiant.
