Zach T. Sent on 08/19/2024Father Michael is Great!
We loved having Father Michael as the officiant for our wedding. Him and the folks at Divine Mercy Church were very friendly and warm. We enjoyed his Mass and couldn’t be happier with our wedding ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful. Father Michael is very comforting and lighthearted, even cracking some jokes during the ceremony that helped relax a very anxious groom. You can tell that he really cares for the couples he marries. Thanks again Father Michael!Father Michael Messina's reply:
Hi Zach - I'm glad you liked our church family. It was a super blessing to be part of your wedding. And the view at A-Basin is awesome. As always I'm happy to help in any way I can. Peace! -

Where do we even begin? Having Father Michael officiate our wedding was an absolute blessing. From the moment we first met him, it was clear that he is not only an incredible Catholic priest but also a genuinely compassionate, thoughtful and accepting person. Throughout the entire wedding process, he was a constant source of support and guidance, always there with a kind word or thoughtful advice whenever we needed it. His warmth and sincerity made us feel truly cared for, and his responsiveness put our minds at ease during what can be a stressful time.
On our wedding day, Father Michael brought a sense of calm and profound meaning to the ceremony, making it all the more special for us and our guests. His professionalism and deep wisdom were evident in every aspect of his role, but what truly stood out was the personal connection he created with us. We feel so incredibly fortunate to have had him there to celebrate this sacred moment in our lives.
Father Michael didn't just officiate our wedding; he became a lifelong support in the process. We are forever grateful for his presence, and we will always cherish the memories of that day, knowing we were blessed to have him by our side.Father Michael Messina's reply:
Alexa it was a great blessing to serve the two of you! As always I'm happy to help in any way I can for the two of you and your families - Peace!

Had the best experience working with Father Michael. He was able to give us the closest we could get to a traditional catholic wedding outside of the church. He is funny, kind and very responsive. Would definitely recommend!Father Michael Messina's reply:
Thanks Shelley! It was a great pleasure to serve you, loved the venue and meeting your family and friends. As always I'm happy to help in any way if needed. Peace! -

Cailey S. Sent on 11/18/2023Great! Very Professional, Customizable, and Personal Ceremony
Father Michael was very professional and knocked everything out of the park. I loved that we were able to have some Catholic formalities important to me as a Catholic woman marrying a Christian man outside of a Catholic Church venue. We also loved how we were able to make the ceremony our own. The ceremony was perfect, meaningful, personal, funny in the right places, and went smoothly. We got many compliments on him from our guests, and we are so happy with how easy it was to work with him and his attention to detail and thoughtfulness. Would 100% hire again. -

Father Michael made our big day so special. He was extremely supportive, professional, personable and kept us calm on such an emotional day. My wife and I struggled to find a priest willing to do a Catholic ceremony outside of the church, and Father Michael was able to fulfill exactly what we wanted by having God present at our ceremony while also doing it at our wedding venue. We loved the way he balanced the seriousness of the commitment we were making to one another while also adding in some jokes throughout - it made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day! We highly recommend Father Michael, and look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with him. Thank you for everything, Father!Father Michael Messina's reply:
Hi Jimmy - It was certainly a beautiful and special day, it was my pleasure to serve you both and I really enjoyed meeting your families! -

Ashley N. Sent on 10/11/2023Fr. Michael was amazing!
Fr. Michael was so great to work with and did such a great job with our wedding. We are Catholic, but knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony. When we started looking for officiants, we knew we still really wanted God to be present in our ceremony. Finding Fr. Michael was such a great fit for us. Even though it's not a traditional Roman Catholic ceremony, he did such a great job making God present. We met with him early on and knew right away we wanted him to be our officiant. He's extremely friendly and very funny as well. He kept the ceremony light, but serious and everything about it was perfect. Thank you Fr. Michael!Father Michael Messina's reply:
Thank you Ashley! God gave you guys the perfect day to celebrate your marriage. I enjoyed meeting your family and friends. Peace! -

Father Messina was extremely kind and flexible. He made our marriage process go by very smoothly. We met with father less than 3 months to our wedding date and were able to book him for our date. We were very happy with our experience with Father and would highly recommend him to anybody. -

Beautiful Ceremony!
Father Michael was a joy to work with for our wedding. He was responsive from the start, took time to meet with us over coffee to learn about us and our vision for our wedding ceremony and he ensured that vision was brought to life while still honoring tradition and our faith. We'd highly recommend working with him! -

We had a great experience with Father Michael! Not only did we love how our ceremony went but he interacted so well with our families, we got lots of compliments. He is very responsive, friendly and brings humor into the ceremony while still keeping the Catholic element we really wanted in our wedding, which is hard to find if you want a wedding outside the church!! So happy we got to work with him and have him bless our marriage. Our families loved him and so did we. -

He responds very fast and has lots of great stories when you spend time to talk to him. Very much would recommend! -

Father Michael is the best!
Father Michael was a pleasure to work with from the start. He met with us twice to go over our FOCUS test results and he provided great input to benefit our relationship. He was always quick to respond over email and easy to communicate with. He was very flexible to change plans and even dates, since we got married during Covid-19 and our wedding had lots of changes. He was very relatable and easy to talk to. We are so pleased with his services and we wouldn’t of wanted anyone else to bless our marriage under God!
Father Michael Messina's reply:
Thank you Ryan! You and Katie went through so much to make your wedding happen. It was a blessing and honor to be a part of your day - Peace! -

Karlee H. Sent on 06/16/2022Amazing experience!
Father Michael was awesome. He was so easy and flexible to work with (I changed the time of the rehearsal about 3 times and he was so kind and patient each time!😂). Our wedding went so amazingly. The ceremony was perfect for us without being too much for our non religious friends/family. The biggest compliment we got was when one of our guests enjoyed the ceremony so much, he asked Father Michael to do his daughters wedding the next week! Overall great experience, we would definitely recommend Father Michael! -

Abby C. Sent on 08/31/2021Perfect officiant for our wedding
Father Michael was great to work with. He was relaxed, funny, personable, and we could tell that he takes a lot of joy in officiating weddings. He was perfect for us because I am Catholic and my now-husband is Christian, but we wanted an outdoor ceremony. He was able to perform our ceremony outside of the church, since he is American Catholic, rather than Roman Catholic. I would highly recommend him! -

Kathryn B. Sent on 03/22/2021Father Michael is a Gem!
Having a priest officiate our wedding was super important to us, but we didn't want the traditional church wedding. That is where Father Michael comes in. He is so kind and helpful with all of our details and we had to change them a lot due to Covid. He listens to what is important to the couple and builds a beautiful ceremony that you will love! He uses humor and wonderful stories that will make your wedding ceremony even better! My husband and I highly recommend Father Michael to officiate and bless your wedding. We're so happy we found him he just made our wedding perfect! -
