    Highly Recommend Pastor Michael!

    Pastor Michael called my husband and I a week before the wedding to get to know us. Pastor Michael had a sense of calm to him and we were able to open up to him about our relationship. During the ceremony, he put our jumbled words into a beautiful picture to share to our family and friends our story. With having never met him until I walked down the aisle, I felt an overwhelming sense of comfort and trust in him. He did an absolutely amazing job! He was sincere, but also added some light hearted jokes that helped make us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend, highly recommend him to officiate your ceremony.

    Above and Beyond Incredible

    Thank you God for putting this man in our plans! He made everything easier, more beautiful, peaceful, and relaxed. He went above and beyond to help us prepare for and later deliver our ceremony. We are not from Colorado but wanted to elope there and still have a Christian ceremony. Pastor Michael was a clear choice and responded quickly. Our first interview was a video call and we knew immediately afterwards that he was our man. He walked us through everything we needed to know and took great care to get to know us and help us understand what we wanted from the ceremony. He stayed in touch with us all the way through the day of the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, Pastor Michael did so much more for us than just deliver some kind words. He walked the bride down the "aisle". He personalized the ceremony in a beautiful way for our story as a couple. English is not the bride's first language but his kind manner and clear voice made her day feel incredibly natural. I highly recommend Pastor Michael!

    Incredible Officiate

    Pastor Michael was incredible, from the moment of our first call with him we felt an instant connection and knew right away that we wanted him to officiate our wedding. He is there for you when you need advice and insight and treats you like a member of his family. We will never forget the impact he made on us and our marriage!

    Fantastic Officiant!

    Pastor Michael was fantastic. From the in-home initial meeting to discuss our wedding vision, to the Zoom call to share our story and finalize the ceremony to the ceremony itself, Pastor Michael was wonderful. He is incredibly personable and caring and showed great range when it came to our preferences. He was completely nonjudgemental and supportive and was able to present many options regarding readings, prayers, and other ceremonial ideas to make it special and memorable and he arrived on time. I would recommend him to everyone.

    Amazing Experience!

    Pastor Michael was an absolute delight to have officiate our wedding. He truly wanted to get to know us and our relationship when we first met him. We knew immediately after that first meeting we wanted him to marry us. He was able to retell stories we told him at the ceremony remembering every detail. Cracked a few jokes that made my husband and I take a sigh of relief and got our guests laughing too. You can not go wrong having Pastor Michael at your wedding.

    The best wedding pastor

    Michael made our ceremony so personal to our life, making it so heart warming and beautiful. My husband and I had our small intimate ceremony in the Rocky Mountain National park. Michael created a traditional ceremony while incorporating the surroundings and importance of our mountain wedding. All of our guests were in awe of the incredible experience he created in joining Alex and I in our marriage. We also really enjoyed our meetings with Michael leading up to our wedding, as he made the experiences fun while getting to know us. We are so grateful to have met Michael and for him to be our officiant on our special day. Thank you Michael!

    Pastor Michael = Memorable Ceremony

    We loved working with Michael. We talked to a couple of officiants and selected Michael because we wanted a Christian ceremony. We also opted to do some pre-marital work with him and his wife. Not only did that prepare us more for our union, it also provided a more personal experience for our ceremony. We had several guests say how great he was, and we agree whole-heartedly!

    Personalized wedding ceremony

    Pastor Welchert did a fantastic job officiating our wedding. It is daunting to choose someone you don't know to be in charge of your wedding ceremony. The Zoom interview process was helpful (we did an initial meet-and-greet to make sure he was a good match for us and then a getting-to-know-the-couple interview). Michael personalized the service, making it enjoyable for us and for our guests. He is very good on the fly. I would highly recommend asking him to be part of your wedding day. (Honestly, I got the most compliments on the venue, my dress, and the ceremony.)

    Pastor Michael

    Pastor Michael is everything you are looking for and more. It’s difficult when choosing a pastor from across town or across the country but he welcomed us into his home and made us feel like family. He and his wife were amazing from beginning to finish and we can not recommend them enough. He also comes with the option to do counseling which we did and it did not disappoint at all. He made our wedding day incredibly special and for that we will always be grateful.

    Amazing Officiant

    Pastor Michael was amazing! He was kind and easy to talk to and after only a few minutes of speaking with us absolutely nailed our ceremony. We couldn’t have pictured it better if we tried. Would definitely recommend!

    Pastor Michael Welchart was perfect!

    Matt and I got married on 7/1/23 after over 20 years together. We were extremely happy with Pastor Michael Welchart. He was so easy to work with. Very kind, funny, witty and sincere. Most of all we wanted God in our ceremony and he delivered.

    Thank you Pastor Michael!

    A great help for our wedding!

    Pastor Mike was everything we needed and more. He was knowledgeable, personable, caring, and energetic. Really helpful with his list of questions and suggestions so after our initial meeting, (which he was flexible with as well which helped), we felt confident. A great guy and we will always be grateful!

    Colorado Wedding with Pastor Michael

    We could not be more thankful for Pastor Michael!! We traveled from New Zealand to Colorado for our wedding, which made finding a pastor a bit tough because we wanted someone who knew our story. We are so thankful we chose Pastor Michael as he is everything we could have hoped for and more! He TRULY took the time to get to know us: facetiming us when we were in New Zealand, meeting him in Colorado before the wedding date, and even inviting us to his home after the wedding. He is very kind and well spoken, has great communication skills, and has a calm way about him that helped ease our nerves during a stressful time. He made our wedding day so special and conducted an incredible ceremony by making our family and friends both laugh and shed a few tears! Many of our guests told us how amazing he was and how it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. We would 100% recommend Pastor Michael!! And hope to keep in touch with him. Thank you for making our wedding day so exceptional!

    Fairytale wedding!

    Picking an officiant from across the country isn’t easy, but Pastor Michael was everything we hoped for and more! He took the time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable with him. He asked plenty of questions and even integrated special details of our relationship into our ceremony which made it feel personalized and intimate. The day of our wedding (his birthday!) , a major road was closed and we were about 30 mins late starting the ceremony. We were stressed and anxious and Pastor Michael made us feel so much better. He told us to take our time and not to worry! When we arrived, he greeted us with a smile and helped us with everything. He was so sincere and really made it easy to completely get lost in the special moment we were sharing. I would recommend Pastor Michael to anyone looking for an officiant! You won’t regret your choice!

    Amazing wedding officiant and pre-marital couples counseling

    My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Pastor Michael for both pre-marital counseling, and as our wedding day officiant. We simply can’t say enough good things about Michael! We loved how he and his wife, Diana, counsel as a couple. It was so helpful to hear from both of their perspectives and gain both of their highly-valued guidance. The pre-marital counseling sessions allowed my husband and I to explore fun, new, and difficult conversation topics that we otherwise wouldn’t have gotten to discuss before the wedding. We got to see what the other perceives our strengths and love languages to be, as well as reflect on our own preferences, growth areas, and top needs in a marriage. As for the wedding day, Michael made us feel so honored and known with his words that he used about us at the altar. He had our guests completely engaged, laughing, and tearing up. We had several guests comment on how captivating Michael was and how it seemed like we had known him for years. I would also like to mention that he was timely and responsive throughout our experience with him, and he never complained about standing out in the cold with us at our outdoor winter wedding in Estes Park :). We would highly recommend working with Michael, and hope to keep our own close ties with him for years to come.

    Amazing, Funny, and very professional

    Hello, pastor Michael was our officiant and he was amazing we had a sit down with him a couple months before the wedding so we could get to know each other better and he asked about how we met and and things about our relationship that made our wedding day even more special when the time came. I would highly recommend him!!

    Excellent!!! Look no further!

    Pastor Michael is truly an amazing officiant. Him and his wife assisted us in pre-marital counseling and then Pastor officiated our wedding. The pre-marital counseling was done thoroughly and him and his wife gave us insights and spent a great amount of time allowing us to answer questions. He is very kind and humorous and has a way to put you at ease during stressful times. His sermon was truly exactly what we asked for with hints of humor, religious aspects we chose, stories of love, and tailored to our day. He has great communication and we would hire him again in a heartbeat!!!

    Caring & Professional

    Pastor Michael was the officiant for my brother's/sister-in-law's wedding as well as my brother-in-law's/sister-in-laws wedding. After seeing the amazing job he did not only as an officiant but in his role as pre-marital counselor, my wife and I knew we had to have him apart of our wedding. From a professional side, Pastor Michael makes sure your big day is executed perfectly. Our day-of coordinator was especially impressed by this and said she would be recommending him to all weddings in the future. On the personal side, he cares incredibly about the health and success of your marriage. I highly recommend the pre-marital counseling as it really has made our marriage strong right from the start. He is truly a very authentic and caring person that made our wedding very special. We cannot recommend/thank him enough. Devin & Allie

    Such an excellent & professional yet personal experience from beginning to end.

    Michael was amazing, from our first meeting we felt comfortable with him. He was very professional yet also it was easy for us to open up and get to know each other pretty quickly as well. We had a lot of similar interests so that made it easy as well. He paid close attention to certain details and on our next meeting we could tell that. This also made us feel comfortable moving forward with him which is what we decided by this point. When it came to the day of the wedding he had already reached out to us ahead of time and let us know he would already be up in the destination town ahead of time to be well prepared, and he was. When we arrived to the ceremony he greeted me and we ran thru everything on the fly, & again I was impressed with his preparation & attention to detail as he was clear that he remembered our specific wants and needs. During the ceremony, he was at his best, he had the whole audience engaged and made sure we were the center of attention. He stuck to the script however was able to freely improvise to anything that came up. We madeb the perfect choice by choosing Michael as he delivered a perfect job to help us paint the perfect day on our wedding day!

    Wonderful experience

    My husband and I got married last February and are so happy that Pastor Mike officiated our wedding. We got so many compliments on our wedding service. My husband and I also did pre-marital counseling with Pastor Mike and his wife. This was really wonderful leading up to the wedding. It was also nice to get both of their perspectives on marriage.
