Life long resident of Western Michigan. I am available and willing to perform weddings in Grand Traverse, Benzie, Leelanau, Manistee, and Wexford counties.

I started doing this for family and friends. I do this because it is meaningful, so I tend to be selective. Simply put. if you are serious about getting married because it is a commitment, then I will consider officiating your wedding.

I spent eight years in Catholic seminary preparing for Roman Catholic Priesthood. I decided not to be ordained because I wanted a family, and have been happily married now for forty years. I have an actual Master of Divinity degree from Catholic University, and gained a lot of practical liturgical and pastoral experience while in seminary.

I generally charge a flat fee between $100-$350 max for services.But I don't do this for the money. Pay what you can afford and if you're happy with my officiating and ceremony preparation services, you can pay me more
