I am a full time Officiant in Orange County, California and have Officiated over 2,000 Ceremonies. I Officiate at all Orange County, California Hotels, Country Clubs, Parks, Chapels, Beaches and Residences with Personalized, Non Denominational Wedding Ceremonies. I am competitively priced and offer more options, customizations and personalizations than the typical Officiant. By utilizing my services you get to decide every word of your Wedding Ceremony.
I am also very proud to be one of a handful of Orange County, California Officiants and the only Laguna Beach Officiant to be listed on "Martha Stewarts Weddings" web site. You can visit her site via the below link.
Also, make sure you click on and read "View All Blog Entries" above.
By utilizing my services, you get three choices:
1. Do absolutey nothing. I will compile a Ceremony for you.
2. Choose any one of the 6 Ceremony samples I send you and make any alterations you wish.
3. Mix and match between the 6 Ceremony samples I send you, make any changes you wish and add anything you wish.
I offer:
1. A totally personalized Ceremony from the very beginning to the very end.
2. I offer various Ceremonies to choose from, make any changes you wish, mix and match and even write your own Ceremony. If you simply want a traditional Ceremony, I offer that. If you want me to compile a Ceremony for you, I offer that. If you want a customized, personalized Ceremony including prayers or no prayers, palm holding, children inclusion, unity candle, unity sand, unity wine, rose exchange, rose presentation to your parents, dove release, breaking of the glass, the seven blessings or vow renewal, I offer these and more.
3. After I receive your Ceremony draft, I layout your Wedding Party Entrance and Positions including the cues for music.
4. After your Ceremony, I email you your final Ceremony and a Certificate of Marriage, and you get to keep them as keepsakes.
"Your Ceremony words are the most important part of your Ceremony", and you can easily pick out or compile the Ceremony you want. The feedback I receive from couples is that after they have picked out the words for their Ceremony and the promises they want to make, they are much more in tune with their Ceremony than other couples and their "Ceremony Words" have so much more meaning to them than a typical fill in the blank, canned Ceremony. They also get a greater realization of the importance of their vows, their promises to each other, their feelings for each other and the institution of marriage. It will also make a major difference for you during your Ceremony and the memories of your special day.
As stated in the Orange County Register Newspaper: "Reverend Michael is one of the most popular Wedding Officiants in Orange County due to his attention to every detail. He makes sure every Ceremony has a lasting effect not only on the wedding couple but also their families and guests. Each Ceremony is totally personalized by and for each Bride and Groom."
Two tips:
1. Do not book your honeymoon flight or cruise reservations using the Brides married name. You will not have proof of marriage until you receive your recorded copy(ies) from your County Recorder (four to six weeks after your Ceremony).
2. Print your Ceremony invitation start time for fifteen minutes prior to your Ceremony start time so your guests arrive on time and your Ceremony starts on time.
For those of you living outside Orange County, CA and cannot utilize my services, I have compiled, "Wedding Ceremonies Devoted to Love and Commitment" that enables you to compile your very own Ceremony text, hand to your Officiant, Justice of the Peace or Judge and say - Here, read this. (Available via the below link)
Please feel free to email or call me with any questions you may have, to check my availability, pricing and to receive TWO FREE CEREMONY SAMPLES.
Please furnish me the below information or as much as you can.
1. Both the Bride and the Grooms first names.
2. Ceremony date.
3. Ceremony location (City and name of venue).
4. Ceremony start time.
5. Approximate number of guests.

Hi Michael, Hope all is well dear friend. One more wedding to go for 2006. Wow, what a year it's been. 2007 is going to be even more amazing for us all in the network. Had some clients inquiring about you :) The Modern Bride feature article about your British DJ here (out now: Dec/Jan 07 Edition) is making the phone explode. See you soon. DJ Mark Hix :)
Hello Wed Rev!
I am sure you are helping all the spouses-to-be with your Midas touch!
If you really want to put the "special" in your "special day"....

Hey Michael,
So nice to see you on here. Tony and I was truly blessed to have you officiate our wedding. We can't thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you helped us put together. It was also an honor to be your very first couple. So glad to have you as one of our true friends.
