Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Now located in the greater Detroit area I was born and raised in Ireland, I moved to MI in my early twenties in 2003. For over 10 years I served as a pastor at multiple churches from urban to rural. I have had an active role in social justice issues and community development, mentoring youth groups, outreach to the homeless, co-founding and directing an anti human trafficking group, as well as serving on other boards and leadership teams. A former rugby player in my homeland, I also co-founded and coached a local rugby team here in MI. As a self-described over sized leprechaun, I can tell you in Ireland it rains all year round, the grass is always green, and rainbows are a common occurrence. Although my brogue accent may have faded just a bit, my powerfully red beard will leave you without any question as to my Celtic roots. I really believe my passion to help people, my sincerity, and humor, make me perfect for officiating any wedding. I have always found it a privilege when asked to officiate for couples taking that leap into life together. It's incredibly special when two people find one another out of billions and decide to give their lives to each other. Being asked to officiate that union is something I've always especially cherished and has been a favorite element of my years in ministry. Small print: - A travel fee may be applied to venues outside an initial distance radius - An accommodation fee may be applied if venue is a considerable distance and/or officiant is required to be at both rehearsal and ceremony. - A non-refundable deposit is required to book your date.

Stephen was the perfect pick for our wedding!! He did an incredible job, and helped us through the entire process of the ceremony. He rolled with everything, and gave us a perfect outline of how the ceremony would work, in which order, etc. He even took the time to get to our ceremony early, and made sure we knew the plan, and talk to each of us individually. Our ceremony was flawless thanks to this kind gentleman. I definitely have Irish roots, and choosing him for our officiant was a perfect pick. Thank you again so much, Stephen! You were awesome!! We will continue to recommend you to anyone who may be getting married and in need of an officiant. You rock, thanks for making our day so special.

Stephen was an amazing officiant. We talked with him several times before the ceremony and he was willing to answer all of our questions and explain how everything would go on the wedding day. He was very punctual and even wrote our ceremony several weeks early so we had it to look over while he was out of town. The ceremony was beautiful and also incredibly funny. We enjoyed all of his jokes that really lightened the mood and made the ceremony all the more memorable. We highly recommend Stephen as an officiant.

I wanted our wedding ceremony to be fun and light-hearted while keeping parts of a traditional ceremony at the same time. Stephen was perfect and he was spot-on. Our friends and family loved him and we did too.
