Michelle Baker

I chose to become ordained to help couples mark one of the most important milestones in their lives. It is both an honor and a responsibility to stand with them as they commit to one another, and I take pride in creating a ceremony that is meaningful, respectful, and personal to their story. Becoming ordained allows me to serve others in a way that combines professionalism with heartfelt care, ensuring each wedding is both memorable and deeply significant.

What makes my ceremonies special is the balance I bring between professionalism and personalization. I take time to understand each couple’s story, values, and vision so the ceremony reflects who they are—not just the legal formality of marriage. My background in real estate and notary work has instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and integrity, which ensures everything is handled smoothly and correctly. At the same time, I approach every ceremony with warmth, sincerity, and a genuine desire to make the couple and their loved ones feel seen, valued, and celebrated. This combination allows me to create meaningful, memorable ceremonies that couples can cherish for a lifetime.

Base Ceremony Fee: $250–$400 for a typical ceremony with minimal travel and customization.

Rehearsal + Prep Work Add-On: $50–$150 extra (if you attend a rehearsal or put in significant prep time beyond the basics).

Travel / Mileage: $0.50–$1.00 per mile (or whatever is reasonable in your area) or a flat travel surcharge if distance is significant.

Customization / Add-Ons: $50–$200 depending on how much personalization, rituals, or additional elements the couple wants.

In addition to performing wedding ceremonies, I strive to provide couples with guidance and support throughout the process so their special day feels seamless and stress-free. I’m flexible in tailoring ceremonies to fit each couple’s traditions, beliefs, and personalities—whether they prefer something formal, faith-based, lighthearted, or entirely unique. My goal is always to create a meaningful experience that reflects the love and commitment being celebrated, while ensuring every detail is handled with professionalism and care.
