Introduction: Joining a husband and wife together in marriage is one of Life's greatest moments! I am an ordained pastor, and have officiated weddings for 30 years. Many of those whom I have married have left reviews on this site; please take a look. I strive to bring a personal connection to the wedding ceremony. I want those in attendance to embrace the joy of the celebration, and to appreciate the uniqueness of those being joined together. If I can be of service to you, I would be blessed to do so! To be present at the most important and meaningful times in people's lives is both a privilege and an honor. God bless you as you prepare for this wonderful day, and a lifetime together! Pastor Mike

Pastor Mike did a fantastic job officiating our wedding on October 7th. Family members and friends had nothing but great things to say about the ceremony. Him asking questions about us prior to the wedding made all the difference! It truly felt as if he known me my whole life. His attention to detail with everything he said did not go unnoticed. Thank you pastor Mike for your time in making my wedding so very special. Go SC!!! Amanda & Travis

Pastor mike did such an excellent job officiating our wedding. He really made us feel comfortable and broke the ice with humor during the ceremony which helped with our nervousness. He explained everything thoroughly before the ceremony, and made everything go over smoothly. He is very kind, easy-going and friendly. We are so blessed to have had him be part of our day, I highly recommend him!

If you encounter this review STOP SCROLLING and BOOK HIM NOW! Pastor Mike was, is and will be the best wedding officiant you'll ever have. He is very flexible with his schedule, postponed his Christmas vacation just for our wedding, very punctual during our first meeting and also the wedding day. He helped us plan the ceremony, time managed it properly, asked proper questions and used it during the ceremony. He made vows in case we didn't right our own and very flexible with religion and very knowledgeable and relatable with our hobbies. He has a good sense of humor that is light enough for the weddings, very respectful and got along with our family and friends. He is one of the key reasons why our wedding was successful. If you dont book him you are MISSING OUT.

Details: Wedding • Catholic • 101 - 150 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal

John, that is the most amazing review that I have ever received, or frankly, ever read! You are TOO kind! I was blessed to be a part of yours and Marissa's wonderful day! Marissa was a beautiful bride, and you were a charming "troublemaker" (her words!). I loved the venue, and both of your families were great! Happy 2020, and blessings of love and joy in your marriage!

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We can communicate by phone and e-mail, and I send a questionnaire to the couple to get to know about their story, and I also send a sample order of service for the wedding ceremony, so that they can edit it to their own personal needs. I am available to meet the couple in person as well.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ordained minister, recognized by the State of California to perform and to validate marriages, and signing the Marriage License. I have performed weddings for over 25 years.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
As a pastor I have been doing weddings for a couple of decades. A pastor friend suggested that I connect with Thumbtack to perform weddings outside of my own church, and I have been doing so since April of 2015. I have loved meeting so many people and sharing in their wonderful day!
