MY RECOMMENDATIONS
OFFICIANTS
Chad or Heidi Mager – Chad and his wife Heidi are AMAZING and so good at what they do! They’re my first recommendation. They are located in Marquette and serve couples throughout the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Northern Lower Michigan, and northeastern Wisconsin. They perform religious (including pagan), interfaith, non-religious, civil union, elopement, second wedding, and vow renewal ceremonies. They are LGBTQ friendly.
The Duchess of Ceremony – Kristin is an Upper Peninsula wedding officiant who specializes in non-denominational ceremonies.
As You Wish Ceremonies – Julie is a wedding officiant based in Iron Mountain who specializes in non-denominational ceremonies.
Sweet Ceremonies by Candy – Candy is an awesome officiant and is LGBTQ and pagan-friendly, has officiated over 225 ceremonies, and travels throughout the state. Travel info is available on her site.
Jennifer Kelly – Jennifer is the Houghton County Clerk and will perform wedding ceremonies anywhere from Houghton to Copper Harbor on the Keweenaw Peninsula. She is super nice and easy to work with.
ME – Although I can’t perform your entire wedding ceremony AND photograph it, I am an ordained minister and able to legally marry you! I can start your ceremony, direct you through the middle (where you might read your vows, perform a unity ceremony, exchange rings, etc.), and then perform the closing and pronounce you married. Or I can help you put together a ceremony where you DIY. Most times I can also provide 2 witnesses if you aren’t inviting guests!
