If you want the best, hire him now!
I can't begin to say enough great things about Michael. We had the absolute pleasure and blessing of having Michael marry us in Tampa, FL and he was one of our favorite parts of our wedding. This is very near and dear to my husband and I. He could not have performed a more beautiful ceremony, really there wasn't one dry eye in the house. I heard compliments all night about the personable and beautiful script that he wrote for us. We can't thank him enough for everything. From start to finish, I have never been through such a professional and amazing process. I will recommend Michael to anyone and everyone who is getting married. If you are contemplating hiring him, do it now. I promise that you will be so happy that you did!Michael Moody, Ordained Minister and Author's reply:
Brittney, it was an absolute joy to be part of your love story! Thank you for your kind words! Cheers to a lifetime of happiness with your husband!!!!! ---- Michael -

Kate Sent on 10/29/2022Absolutely the Best Officiant Ever!
Michael officiated our ceremony last weekend in Estes Park, CO. The process with him from start to finish was seamless, professional and fun! From the first intro email to the congratulations email he sent before the ink was dry on our marriage license, we knew we had chosen the right person to marry us. He is responsive, kind, funny, focused and open to making the ceremony extremely personal. He even led a Happy Birthday to my daughter during the ceremony as a surprise because we got married on her birthday!! He honored my late husband in a very special way and was open to our request for a hand fasting during the ceremony as well. He is unique and we got tons of compliments on him during our reception.Michael Moody, Ordained Minister and Author's reply:
Kate, thank you for the kind words! You have such a lovely family, and it was an honor to meet them! I wish you and Roger endless memories in Estes Park and beyond. Cheers to a lifetime of happiness!!! -

Michael Moody is THE officiant that you need. My chaplain had a stroke 4 days before my wedding and needless to say, I was stressed! Reached out to Michael after reading his reviews and he carved out time for me even though the wedding was 4 days away.
Key points:
1)Extremely kind, professional, knows what he’s doing
2)Asks for the couple to fill out a 2-3 page form on the relationship so he can get to know you and incorporate into the ceremony
3) He tailors the ceremony to YOU! His light hearted jokes that we requested were amazing, and he even included our late grandparents in the ceremony in a very special way.
110% recommend to any couple who wants an impressive, beautiful ceremony!Michael Moody, Ordained Minister and Author's reply:
Dani, it was an absolute pleasure! Thank you for the kind words. I wish you and Rob the most happiness!! Cheers! ---- Michael -

Meghan H. Sent on 09/21/2022Highly recommend!
We were very lucky to have Michael officiate our ceremony in September 2022.
We wanted someone who could lead and design the ceremony while also personalizing it to us. We got exactly what we wanted in Michael! In fact, many people asked us how long we knew him. He was so warm, funny, and great public speaker.
He guided us through the whole process and made it very easy. His questionnaire was thoughtful and fun to complete as we thought about all the reasons we loved each other and wanted to get married. And then to hear how he incorporated those notes in the ceremony was wonderful.
The whole experience from, our first contact with Michael to the ceremony was amazing. He was also such a calming presence the day of and put you at ease.
Highly recommend!

Yuliya B. Sent on 02/15/2021Beautiful Ceremony thanks to Michael
Michael did an incredible job! My husband and I were scrambling to plan a small wedding in Chicago after we canceled our big wedding. Michael was flexible, accommodating, professional, and responsive. The entire ceremony went smoothly thanks to Michael. His ceremony script was warm, humorous, authentic, and really focused on capturing a bit about each of us, our love, and us entering a new journey in our life of husband and wife.Michael Moody, Ordained Minister and Author's reply:
Yuliya, I appreciate the kind words! It was truly an honor! Cheers to you and Matthew! ----- Michael -

It's a daunting task to find an officiant. Even more so during a pandemic. We read as many reviews and personal blogs as possible, and one name kept coming up: Michael Moody. The reviews written all went a little further in thanking him and mentioning how great he was.
Once we reached out to Michael, it was obvious why everyone liked him so much. He was extremely professional and had a plethora of information, and also ensured that every imaginable detail would be covered. But he's not just professional, he has a great sense of humor and is really laid back. He puts you at ease, and it's very welcomed -- especially at a time when things may not be going as planned.
Our ceremony was perfect, and Michael handled everything beautifully. We knew we were validated in choosing him when nearly every guest made a point of telling us how much they liked Michael and how he presided over the ceremony.
The officiant is one of those participants who can make or break your wedding. Don't leave it to chance: Michael Moody is the best officiant out there! -

Michael was absolutely amazing! We could not have had a better officiant. He was incredibly professional, detailed, relaxed, and thorough during our rehearsal and ceremony. He made the entire ceremony personalized to us. With all the stress COVID has thrown our way, he made sure the ceremony went seamlessly. We had received so many compliments about Michael from numerous family and friends that attended. We couldn’t have had a better officiant to marry us. Thanks again Michael! -

Michael made Our Day... AMAZING!!
My New Husband and I are so very thankful for Michael!
Sadly for us, our wedding day was affected by Covid-19.
We planned to be wed 15 years to the day, at the time, and the place, that we first met.
Our initial ceremony was to be held at the restaurant where we first met with a small gathering of 50 of our closest family and friends.
A few weeks before our wedding, we decided to cancel our ceremony due to the fact that many of our guests would have to travel to be with us.
We whittled from 50 down to 7 of our closest, local, family and friends. After reworking our plans many times due to restaurant closings and to accommodate a small gathering we finally had a plan.
3 days before the ceremony our minister became ill.
My fiancee reached out to find another minister to officiate our ceremony and he was very fortunate to find Michael.
The following day our Governor shut down the state of Illinois and this is when we both Gave Up!
We canceled everything and everyone.
Then... the day before our 15 year anniversary we decided that This Day... was way to special to change.
We contacted Michael the day before and asked if he was up to a challenge. In true profession Michael agreed to meet with us the following day on The Shore of Lake Michigan in a very windy 32 degrees... while social distancing.
Michael officiated our wedding with such a beautiful, personal and heartfelt ceremony.
Michael went above and beyond.. and froze with us, as he made us laugh and made us cry..
Michael evoked an enthusiasm that was unbelievable.
We cannot imagine a more Perfect Day in our lives...
Many Thanks Michael!

Perfect wedding officiant
Michael did such an incredible job working with us to create a personalized and unforgettable wedding ceremony. He struck the perfect tone between relaxed and casual while also bringing deep reverence and gravitas to the role and the importance of our vows that day. We absolutely plan to work with him again when we renew our vows in front of a larger group of family and friends as the Covid situation eases.Michael Moody, Ordained Minister and Author's reply:
Annelyse, it was an honor celebrating the two of you at your family's magnificent home! No doubt a memorable milestone at this residence! Thank you for the kind words! I look forward to the next celebration in 2021! -
