Notable Wedding ReviewFrom Wedding Wire Father Mike was our officiant for our wedding a few weeks ago and we were so impressed. My husband’s family is Catholic and mine is Protestant so we wanted someone who would be able to find ways to honor both beliefs. We met with him twice before our wedding and emailed with him to complete the planning of the ceremony. He had us take an interpersonal test to help us understand how we each operate and to help our interactions with one another improve based on our olinsiciduap personalities which was really helpful! He did a great job during the ceremony and everyone said how impressed they were with him! I highly recommend Father Mike if you are looking for someone who can perform Catholic-like ceremonies! |
