Choosing the right celebrant to deliver a heartfelt, professional ceremony is one of the most important decisions you will make when planning your wedding. Don’t leave it to a family member or friend – this is your wedding! You deserve better than someone just standing and absently reading text.
I work closely with my couples to ensure they’re not just satisfied, but thrilled, with their wedding ceremony experience. My vocal delivery is professionally trained from decades of singing opera and doing professional voice over work. I also don’t use AI tools for writing ceremony texts. Your love comes from the heart, so every word I craft for you comes from mine.
I am happy to marry all loving, consenting couples who wish to tie the knot. I’m a non-denominational interfaith minister licensed to perform weddings in NJ, PA, DE, and MD.

I have been performing wedding services first as a photographer, then as an officiant, since 2008. More than five hundred weddings over those many years has given me the kind of trusted experience you want and need in a professional wedding vendor.
I have been a non-denominational interfaith minister since 2014, performing dozens upon dozens of wedding ceremonies and elopements each year.
My fees are very affordable, given my extensive experience in the industry, and the attentive care I give to each and every one of my couples.

My prices are more affordable than most other vendors with my extensive experience and skill. I never try to sell you something you don’t need, and I’m happy to work with almost any budget.
I am highly recommended by many venues throughout the mid-Atlantic United States. Venues are happy to recommend me to their clients because they know I will deliver an excellent ceremony experience.
Your wedding ceremony text will be delivered with sincerity, energy, and a professionally developed voice honed over three decades of singing opera and performing voice over work for audiobooks, film, and commercials.
Don’t take my word for it, read the reviews my couples have written over the years. Customer service awards are based on reviews, and I win them for a good reason.
I have the highest benchmarks for customer service you’ll find anywhere. Anticipating my couples’ needs and giving them a great experience is my favorite!
Your love comes from the heart. You deserve a ceremony from the same place. I don’t use AI to write text. My ceremonies are always written from my heart.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Michael Chadwick officiate our wedding, and we could not have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, Michael was warm, professional, and incredibly friendly. He took the time to get to know us, made us feel comfortable, and truly personalized the ceremony in a way that felt authentic and meaningful.
On our big day, Michael delivered the ceremony beautifully—his words were heartfelt, genuine, and perfectly balanced between warmth and professionalism. Many of our guests commented afterward on how touching and well-done the ceremony was, which is a true reflection of his talent and care.
Michael has such a calming and kind presence, and he made what could have been a stressful moment feel effortless and full of joy. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our special day and would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who is not only professional and reliable but also truly compassionate and personable. Thank you, Michael, for helping make our wedding day so memorable!

Throughout life, we experience several life-changing events, but once you find your person, your wedding day is quite possibly one of the most memorable and important ones. Even if the celebration is small and intimate, we still try our best to make it as perfect as it can be and, in my opinion, the person you choose to officiate that marriage is, by far, one of the most essential details. I got married to my best friend just a few days ago, and I am leaving this review because I am beyond grateful to have had the chance to meet Michael and have him officiate our ceremony.
My husband and I aren’t the most typical; we are both nerds, both introverts, and both neurodivergent. We aimed for our wedding to represent us in every possible way, and to be totally honest, before we met Michael, we struggled to find an officiant who understood us and gave us the feeling we were in good hands. Michael not only took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, but he also went above and beyond to tailor his speech to perfection. He found the exact words to make us feel seen, amused, understood, and absolutely happy. He even researched the videogame I met my husband in and used a few of the beautiful phrases our favorite characters say. He also made sure we were calm, relaxed, and happy before stepping outside the bridal room and helped us with all introductions and announcements.
Throughout the entire event, and even before that, communication was smooth, prompt, and transparent. I could keep going about how impressed and grateful we are to have hired him, but I believe this review says we absolutely recommend him clearly enough.

Michael did a perfect job officiating our wedding. The entire process was so easy. From our initial calls, to working on the script he put together, to helping my now wife with her vows on the wedding day, Michael was so helpful and easy to work with every step of the way. We had an idea of what we wanted in a ceremony, and Michael took our loose ideas and absolutely nailed it.
The ceremony he put together for us was absolutely perfect. It felt like he had known us our entire lives. We had several guests ask where we found such a great officiant and comment on what a great job he did. We weren’t putting a huge emphasis on our ceremony, as we had always wanted a ceremony on the shorter side, but it ended up being one of the highlights of the day.
We’ll treasure those moments for the rest of our lives, and Michael is to thank for that. We’re absolutely thrilled with our ceremony and we would recommend Michael to anyone without a doubt!!

Caron and Nik

Everyone raved about our officiant. Mike is personable and funny, and made one of my bridesmaids laugh out loud when talking with us before the ceremony. He takes the time to personalize every part of the ceremony so it matches the couple, and my husband and I couldn’t be happier that we went with him. If you want someone that people will still be talking about long after the ceremony is done, go with Chadwick Weddings!

Katey and Derek

My ceremony was my favorite part of my entire wedding day and it is all thanks to Michael Chadwick! I wish that I had a reason to use him again because he was so charismatic, caring, and fun to talk to and he is great at what he does. I will ABSOLUTELY be recommending him to anyone I can.
My ceremony in my husband’s and my eyes could not have been any more perfect. When he emailed us the ceremony script he wrote we didn’t change a thing, he nailed it the first time around. We sent him bullet points of tv shows we liked, movies we liked, details about our relationship and I was amazed at how beautifully he incorporated everything. He really got to know us as a couple and our ceremony was a perfect representation of us and our love. Thank you Michael for making our wedding day so special and truly a day I will never forget. 10/10 would recommend!!!

As they say, rain is good luck on a wedding day. There was a funny commercial many years ago that humorously proposed the idea of movie studios running weddings. It started raining and the bride screamed “What? Why is it raining!” and the rain stopped. The camera cut…

I was honored to be the wedding officiant for Madison and Sean’s gorgeous outdoor early fall wedding ceremony at the incomparable Stockton Seaview in Galloway, NJ. Nestled nicely along the Jersey Shore, the Stockton Seaview’s facilities are gorgeous, the food is amazing (I can also recommend from personal…
