Hitched by MV

on for the ceremony. Michael crafted a beautiful, personalized script that truly captured our love story. The ceremony was heartfelt and meaningful, making it the perfect start to our special day. His calm presence and warm demeanor helped ease any nerves we had, and he guided us through the process with grace and professionalism. Additionally, Michael coordinated a fantastic rehearsal that ensured everyone knew their roles, making us feel confident for the big day. Our wedding party commented multiple times on how professional and experienced he was, and how he “really knows his stuff.” Thank you, Michael, for making our wedding day so memorable! We wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant.

ur ceremony script to make it extra special. He even brought us Starbucks! We completely recommend Hitched by MV!

ft of the script was almost perfect as it was as a draft. He was calm and very prepared day of ceremony and helped us be calm. The entire wedding party was singing his praises. I HIGHLY recommend him! You won't be sorry!

having him as our officiant. It was everything we could have hoped for. He was so easy to work with and professional throughout the planning process, and having him run the rehearsal made our lives 100x easier. We are so grateful Rev. Michael was our officiant, he was an essential part of our day!

license and ceremony. He even helped us craft a fantastic script for the ceremony, which was an enormous help. During the rehearsal, he was invaluable at helping us work out some of the kinks (where to stand, how to stand, handing off the ring, how to walk during the processional and recessional, etc.) so our ceremony would run smoothly. And during the ceremony he was fantastic - just an absolute joy to have as our officiant. My wife and I are very grateful to the care Reverend Michael took at helping us craft a wonderful ceremony. We urge you to consider him for your officiant - he made our special day even better!

we were comfortable with. He led our rehearsal the day before the ceremony, and provided helpful advice and guidance when practicing. We would highly recommend Rev. Michael.

t we wanted! He also turned my "bullet points" of a love story into a great, appropriately humorous story which we greatly appreciated. Additionally, we didn't have a rehearsal given the small nature of our wedding, but he was there early on the big day and made sure everyone was prepped with what to do. Thank you so much Reverend Michael!!

ceremony and highly recommend him to officiate your wedding as well!

6 year old daughter as well. Michael speaks Spanish as well as english which was a great since there were Spanish speakers in my SIL's family. Michael did a great job with the rehearsal, explaining in detail how everyone was to present themselves. We all highly recommend Hitched by M.V.

as perfect and we’re so glad we chose him to be a part of it. Please choose him for your officiant, you won’t regret it!

y to include all our guests we received so so many compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was

ch is not in the county he normally works in. He was very flexible with dates and times, which was also super helpful with a 5 month old! The ceremony could not have been more perfect for us. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

y MV!

those two sentences). We booked the ceremony to start at 5:15 and the officiant came about 45 minutes early. This was around the time when my ceremony dress was ruined by the chair in the get ready suite of the venue. Michael made the dress fiasco even more stressful. He came to the get ready suite well over 5 times to see if I was ready to start. I felt that we were being rushed because he arrived early. But as he could clearly see me and my planner were distraught and trying to get the stain out. I didn't understand why he would keep coming back almost harassing me to start early. Even went as far as getting people to go and take their seats early. This didn't help ease me at all and my coordinator had to leave me and my dress issues to address that problem downstairs. I feel that Michael should have came up twice and no more than that. once to say hey i've arrived and one more time close to 5:15 to let me know its showtime. We did start right on time however, but all that stress put on me was not worth it. During the ceremony Michael leaned over to me a few times to make sure the script is all correct. This could have been avoided with a phone call prior so that we can re-read the script together. Instead of showing others that they were not fully prepared. It is definitely a learning experience for the Officiant, always read the room and if you see a bride in distress, leave her alone.

uring this time. Our small “Covid wedding” went smoother than expected and he was one of the reasons why.

s helping make our day so memorable. Thank you Rev. Michael!

ately, for personal reasons, he made it happen very quickly. We put everything together in about a week and a half. I couldn't be more recommending of his services.

izing from there. He really connected with us and made our ceremony very personable. We loved working with Rev. Michael and highly recommend him.

ommend him to friends and family.

h and saw that all the reviews were positive. We spoke over the phone , described what we wanted, he gave us suggestions of locations and we decided upon the gazebo outside Byron Colby Barn in Grayslake. The setting was perfect.. exactly what we envisioned/wanted...and because we had no other witnesses... Reverend Michael took some great photos of us afterwards that captured the beautiful landscape at our wedding site. Definitely would recommend him to others!

e worked closely with us to really personalize our wedding, and was so prompt in answering any questions I had. He ran our rehearsal perfectly, and was just an amazing officiant during our ceremony. My groom and I somehow managed to mess up about 5 times during our ceremony, and Rev Michael was great at just letting everyone laugh and then moved things alone so smoothly. He was truly a joy to work with and I'm so glad he was there on our big day!

from day 1, and now that the wedding is over, we are so happy with our decision. The ceremony was romantic, he paid attention to detail, and he was extremely calm (and early) the day-of. He offered suggestions and choices for our ceremony, but gave us total creative freedom of the ceremony script. Michael also ran our rehearsal, which was a success. We are very happy with Michael and would highly recommend him!
