Authentic and meaningful ceremony

After meeting Michele, we had no doubt we wanted her to officiate our wedding. She is personable, warm, well spoken, and a little magical. The questionnaire she provided and conversations we had enabled us to reflect on key moments and aspects of our love; and provided the insight she needed to craft a beautiful ceremony for us. The process was deeply enjoyable and meaningful, and the result was even more perfect than we had imagined. We discovered handfasting through Michele’s offerings and are so happy we were able to include that ritual. The ceremony book and handfasting cords she made are beautiful and sentimental pieces that we’ll always treasure. Michele had all the logistics covered and her guidance throughout the planning process and day were invaluable. Michele has a positive and calming presence, and set the perfect vibe for our day. Many of our guests shared a variety of positive feedback about Michele and her ceremony; and we feel the absolute same. Wholeheartedly recommend booking Michele for your special day.

The most beautiful ceremony

When we first met Michele we knew we wanted her to officiate our ceremony. While chatting we could tell she was kind and had a beautiful soul, and it was so important to us that connected with our vendors, especially with the person who would marry us. She wrote a beautiful ceremony reading for us and really took the time to include all the little things we included in her questionnaire. She was very professional and responsive throughout the process as well. She made us a beautiful book of the readings to keep, and really captured everything we wanted in our ceremony. You can tell from working with her that she truly loves what she does and she puts her all into creating a beautiful ceremony based on each couple's wishes. We're so glad we found you Michele and thank you for the most beautiful ceremony!

Magical experience and magical day✨❤️

Michele was an absolute pleasure to work with! Our original officiant fell through last minute and we were so lucky that we were able to have our ceremony officiated by Michele. She was professional kind and had a great energy. We loved her questionnaire to get to know us and our love story, she did an amazing job in capturing us and collaborating with us on aspected wanted to include in our ceremony. She made our ceremony so special and truly tailored to who we are. The book candle and sage she gave us will be treasured gifts. Thank you so much for making our magical day so incredible and feel like us.
