Introduction

**Please note I am also available for remote wedding services** I’ve always enjoyed weddings and the words shared by wedding officiants who make the day special for the couple. My goal is to deliver beautiful words that will resonate with the attendees and the couple to remember a special day. Upon hiring me, we will have an initial call where we will discuss the details of your ceremony. Before sending the draft, I ask for a deposit (typically done within 48 hrs) to reserve your date. From there, we will discuss the remaining balance after you approve the final draft. I do prefer to connect over the phone with clients beforehand to make sure I am the perfect fit for their big day and to further go over details. Additionally, I am available to speak at memorial services and help your loved ones be remembered through this type of ceremony. **Please note the deposit is nonrefundable**

We had Michelle to officially our wedding this past Sunday. My partner goes by they/them pronouns and Michelle made it a priority to make sure there were comfortable and changed up the whole script to accommodate. She was very professional, very quick to respond and was great at the ceremony!

I could not be any happier with Rev. Michelle Cordova. From the moment I contacted her I knew instantly she was going to be the one to officiate. Not only is she professional but very sweet, easy to talk to and wants to make sure every thing is exactly how you want it to be. She makes you feel like you have known her forever. She sent us a draft of some of the words that would be said and I fell in love ..Thank you Michelle for making this part of my wedding stress free.

It was really wonderful having Michelle lead our wedding ceremony. She was great from the start and did not disappoint as we went on with the process leading up to the ceremony. She is friendly, professional, enthusiastic, easy to work with, responsive, responsible and brings an added layer of positivity. She explained everything easily on our very first phone call, she was hands on and extremely flexible. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone for a wedding ceremony! Thank you Michelle! Thank you for your beautiful words and wishes, thank you for being the best wedding officiant we could have asked for. C&B

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The deposit is nonrefundable bc I send out a draft of the ceremony to the client which involves me doing some work. Added fees would include editing/help with personal vows or attending an in person rehearsal. I also get questions on tipping. It is NOT mandatory, but it is always appreciated because it let’s me know you are extra pleased with my work 😊 anyone providing a service would greatly appreciate being tipped
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to send a draft of the ceremony to the couple to make sure they are happy with what is going to be said. Revisions are included in the price and I will work with the couple to make sure the words are perfect.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
A while back one of my old Sgts had mention I’d be great at it so it was always in the back of my mind; it wasn’t until my dear friends asked me to officiate their wedding that I actually got my cert and have been officiating for the past year now!
