Rev. Whalen was the BEST! He has a wonderful personality, very responsive, easy to work with, and he made our wedding ceremony so sweet and special for my husband and I. He is great at customizing your ceremony to your exact needs. For my ceremony, we wanted to do a handfasting ceremony along with Irish Blessings. Rev Whalen was so helpful and continuously sent several suggestions and readings to choose from to make our day perfect and exactly how we wanted! Would definitely recommend him to officiant for your big day!

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 151 - 200 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal • Date and time has not yet been chosen

Michael was our officiant for our wedding 3/18/17. He made the whole process very simple and stress-free. He helped every step of the way to make things as easy as can be for us. Would highly recommend him.

Rev. Whalen was fantastic! From the initial planning, to the rehearsal, to the final ceremony, he was responsive and professional and extremely polished. He helped make the wedding day beautiful and memorable. Our guests kept commenting about how lovely the ceremony was. We can't thank Rev. Whalen enough for the amazing job he did! If you are looking for the perfect officiant, he is the man to hire!

Rev. Whalen was wonderful. My husband and I put off finding an officiant until pretty close to the wedding -- in part because neither of us is religious and we didn't have a great sense of what we wanted our ceremony to look like. Reverend Whalen was helpful without being pushy in any way; he asked us questions and gave suggestions that helped us create a simple but meaningful ceremony that fit our personalities. He was on time, responsive, and we really couldn't be happier with his work.

Rev. Michael Whalen performed our ceremony last Friday and we are so happy that he did! We needed an officiant last minute because plans fell through with the previous one we had. Michael was there to pick up the pieces. The ceremony he created for us was beautiful, and I still have family members and guests calling to tell me that it was the best ceremony they've ever been to. He is extremely professional, but personable at the same time. Our wedding day was perfect in every way, and it wouldn't have been perfect if it weren't for the people we hired. Do yourself a favor and hire Michael!
