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.

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!!

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!

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…
