  Father Messina made us as the couple and the rest of our wedding party feel completely at ease. He is very warm and friendly, making sure to introduce himself to our parents as soon as he arrived at the rehearsal. Even with the bad weather the night of our rehearsal and wedding, he made sure he was at our venue! His service was exactly what we wanted, and it did not disappoint!

  Father Michael Messina was the perfect officiant for our wedding! He was really accommodating - we live in Illinois and he is from Wisconsin (where our wedding was held) so when we wanted to meet for the first time to get to know each other and talk about the kind of ceremony we're interested in- he offered to drive to meet us in Rockford so we wouldn't have to drive far to meet him. He had a great sense of humor that made us feel really comfortable and made the wedding a happy experience. He was very professional and really wanted to let us make the wedding whatever we wanted and personalized. He was always quick to respond to any of my emails and was always very helpful. He was also really prepared - you can tell when someone is experienced and thinks of everything and I really felt that he knew what he was doing. I would definitely use him again if I had to do it over again (which of course he made me promise I wont ;) )

  Father Michael from Risen Christ Ministries preformed our wedding ceremony in Madison last weekend and we couldn't have been happier! My husband and I come from different faith backgrounds and Father Michael was absolutely wonderful about helping us create a ceremony that was inclusive and respectful of both of our families while still maintaining a traditional aspect. Besides just helping us create the perfect ceremony Father Michael was really lovely to work with. He was friendly, easy to talk to and promptly answered all of my questions whenever they came up (and there were lots of them!). During our rehearsal he was personable, professional and everyone involved told us how much they liked working with him. Overall we feel very lucky to have found Father Michael and he truly helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives!

  We used Father Michael from Risen Christ Ministries as our wedding officiant and were very pleased with our ceremony. We had some ideas of what we wanted but relied on him to help give us an idea of what the structure of the ceremony should be. He offered great input and also allowed us plenty of 'space' to decide what we wanted for our ceremony. He helped orchestrate the rehearsal and I felt very comfortable that everything was going to go smoothly on the day of the wedding.
  
  We got multiple compliments on our ceremony and several people even told us it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. We would highly recommend Father Michael to other couples who are looking for a wedding officiant.

  Father Michael officiated our wedding last week. He did an amazing job in helping us with the ceremony. Neither me or my husband had any idea before hand on how the ceremony should go. Father Michael Messina was very organized, met with us weeks before the ceremony, and ALWAYS answered any questions I had almost immediately (via email). The sermon was short which is what we wanted. I had interrupted Father Michael with "I Do" and he made a light joke of it which really eased my embarrassment. Overall my husband and I are very satisfied with the services offered by Risen Christ Ministries.
