The best of the best!
Rev. Michael Whalen helped to make our day so much more special. He was great to work with from start to finish and was always available to answer any questions we had. Rev. Michael is very well spoken, professional and funny! So many of our guests complimented us on how great our ceremony was!Rev. Michael Whalen's reply:
Tyvm Allison! It was an absolute honor to officiate your marriage. That you are my niece made it all that much more special to me. Almost choked up a couple of times too but managed to hold steady! Good luck to you and Alex!! -

Amazing experience!
Reverend Michael Whalen was an amazing officiant! He made our wedding ceremony so beautiful. Leading up to our wedding he was so professional and made the planning process so easy. Reverend Michael Whalen met with us to get to know my husband and I and learn our love story. He planned a beautiful ceremony for us including the vows and readings that we liked. The ceremony was perfect the day of our wedding. He spoke sincerely and from the heart; I had guests ask me how we knew him—they thought he was a family member or friend! Highly recommend! -

It was such a pleasure working with Rev Michael Whalen! He provided us with so many options of what could be done and said at our ceremony which helped us create our own personal ceremony that we were looking for. Our ceremony was so smooth and he brought such a warm, welcoming presence. We are forever grateful to him for making our special moment so unforgettable! -

On 10/26/23, Rev. Michael Whalen married me and my husband, and we are so glad he did! Searching for the right Officiant was something that I took pretty seriously, as this was going to be the person speaking in front of our families and closest friends, and who would be marrying us of course. =) We spoke to about 10 officiants before finding Rev. Michael. He has a confident presence, speaks very clearly, and articulate, and made our ceremony feel warm and welcoming for all present. The readings, our vows, and flow of everything went so smoothly. I am so happy that Rev. Michael performed our ceremony and I recommend him for your special day as well! Thank you, again Rev! Wendy & Brian. -

Mike Whalen is the best!!
Mike made the whole process so easy!! We got married at The English Manor on 10/8/2023 and the whole process leading up to, the work needed day-of, and processing paperwork afterward was a breeze with Mike. He knew exactly what we were looking for when we couldn’t quite voice it ourselves, was full of suggestions when we were looking for readings outside the norm, and he made us feel very calm during the actual ceremony. We didn’t need him to attend the rehearsal and he was still flawless! My family is hard to please and they were complimenting Mike all around. I would recommend him over and over again. -

Steve S. Sent on 11/08/2023So amazing and accommodating!
Rev. Mike Whalen was one of several officiants recommended by our venue. We spoke to 3 other officiants but immediately knew we wanted Rev. Mike as soon as we had our initial call with him. He was so personable and down to earth and took the time to get to know us as a couple and our story. Within a couple of days, he sent us a draft of his proposed ceremony, offered suggestions and encouraged us to make any changes that would make the ceremony more reflective of us. He was so kind as to even say a few words and sentences in Spanish and Arabic so that all our guests felt like a part of the ceremony. When we met Rev. Mike in person on our wedding day, he gave us a hug and even asked to meet our parents to offer his genuine congratulations. All our guests were really complimentary of the ceremony. We are forever grateful to Rev. Mike for making our day so special. -

He was punctual and very organized. The ceremony was truly so beautiful and special and I am so happy that Rev. Whalen was able to work with us. Highly recommend booking him for your wedding- you will not be dissapointed! -

Samantha M. Sent on 02/03/2023Perfect Addition to our Wedding!
Rev Michael Whalen was the perfect addition to our wedding. We saw him officiate our friends wedding and knew we had to reach out to him for our wedding. He was very professional and responsive to all our questions. Our ceremony was short and sweet which was exactly what we wanted. He had many layout options for us to choose from for our ceremony and made whatever adjustments we had asked of him.
Rev Michael Whalen was leaving for a vacation the morning after our wedding super early in the morning, and not for one second did I get nervous he wasn't going to show or provide all the necessary documents we needed.
I would highly recommend him to officiate the most special day in one's life! -

I cannot recommend Rev Michael enough! My husband and I were so nervous about hiring the right officiant but, he made it so easy! We are both so impressed with how well spoken, personable and overall kindness. Two months later, and we still get compliments about how well our ceremony was! -

Maria C. Sent on 09/23/2022A Class Act!
Rev. Michael Whalen is a true gentleman and class act! From our first meeting, we absolutely felt confident in our decision to be married by this amazing man!! He worked with us to customize the entire ceremony, incorporating our love story, personalities and family traditions. He took extra time to coordinate adding details and performed a Greek crowning ceremony which meant the world to us. And did I mention he is witty?? He added the perfect touches of humor which put a smile on everyone’s face.
He arrived early to make sure everything was ready and spent a few moments with me. He is extremely patient and truly made me feel comfortable as the perfect minister to marry us! My husband and I highly recommend Reverend Michael Whalen to anyone who needs an officiant!Rev. Michael Whalen's reply:
Maria, you and Gary made my job very easy and enjoyable. It was a pleasure meeting you both. Ty for your kind words too. God bless you both in your marriage. -
