We cannot say enough good things about how wonderful Chad was throughout the process. From our first phone call, we knew we wanted him to be our officiant. Since we are not from the area, planning a wedding in a different location can have its challenges, but he made it easy for us. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect and exactly what we wanted! We even ran into him the next day when we were about to start a hike and he was about to officiate another wedding - it was awesome - if you are getting married in Marquette, there is no other choice for your ceremony than Chad Mager.

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with Chad’s services. He went above and beyond to create a ceremony that perfectly captured our relationship. He was phenomenal to work with from choosing what type of vows we wanted to adding the little details that made our ceremony truly personal. I won’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant. Thank you again for coming to Grand Marais!

Chad was phenomenal. He took his time to get to know us prior to our ceremony and was great with communication. Chad is very kind, personable, and made sure our ceremony was exactly the way we wanted it. We purposely had a very small wedding and all of our guests have said multiple times that it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever been to. Thank you Chad.

Chad was amazing through and through! We did premarital counseling with him as well as had him officiate our wedding. He went above and beyond in these roles and really helped make our day special . He even coordinated my rehearsal! Chad kept a smile on our faces and truly made us feel 100% comfortable throughout the process. We can’t thank you enough Chad!

I can't recommend Chad enough as a wedding officiant. From the very first time my - then fiancee - and I had a conversation with him, we knew he would be a great choice to marry us. Not only was he willing to drive 4 hours from where he was located, but he was more than happy to meet with us multiple times through the process, and even look over and print our vows (even when I sent mine in the day of) for the big day. He took the time to get to know each of us and he showed up early to the ceremony in a suit with his huge smile! He far exceeded expectations during the service. He was funny, sincere, and made everything go off without a hitch! I feel so blessed that I found Chad to officiate our beautiful day, thank you so much!

Chad was a wonderful person to have officiate our wedding! He is a very bubbly, personable, and delightful man to have be apart of your special day! Chad made sure when he did his officiant speech that is was special and had details pertaining to us that made it unique catered perfectly to our wedding. A jokester at heart, and helps lighten things up when I messed up the knot tying! He even took care of our marriage license the next day!

Would 100% recommend Chad to be apart of your wedding!

Chad Mager did a perfect job as our officiant at our Marquette wedding. He suggested many formats and readings for us to choose from for our nondenominational ceremony. We sent him our proposed ceremony and he just proved the service with the right amount of enhancement. It was a beautiful wedding and just what we wanted. Beautiful, short and sweet. Thanks again Chad for a beautiful day.

Chad and Heidi were absolutely amazing! As soon as we first talked to him he seemed as if he was a long time friend. Before our wedding he had a super relaxed infectious vibe that put us at ease. He brought humor and romance together and made our day very special. I also enjoyed seeing that he interacted with our guests before and after the ceremony. We highly recommend Chad!

Chad and Heidi are amazing! They both seemed truly happy to be there and were just so excited for us. Chad's smile is infectious. He was born to do this role. He completely nailed our personalities in the service. I got so many comments from friends and family afterward on how great of a job he did and how did he know so much about us! It's like he had known us for years. His professionalism is outstanding. I highly recommend him for your wedding. You won't regret it.

Chad was very professional and knew exactly what we wanted. He went above and beyond by doing an Irish handfasting ceremony for us and even emailed the ceremony in writing to me so that I may have for our wedding book. The ceremony was perfect! I am so glad that he was available for our wedding. I highly recommend! Thank you so much Chad for our perfect ceremony.

Chad was amazing! From day one he was easy to chat with, we felt open to share exactly what we were looking for in our ceremony, and he tailored everything to fit our needs. Not only did he have great words to say during the ceremony but he also has this calming sense that put our nerves at ease. We are so happy Chad played a huge role in our day!

Chad is the best!! As soon as we had our first chat, he was for sure the one we wanted to officiate our elopement. He was personable and so much fun and such a great human being to be around. I would recommend Chad a million times over to anyone looking for an officiant/minister.

I simply cannot put into words how wonderful he is and how grateful myself, my husband, and my family are to his services. Thank you so much Chad, we love you!

Chad was the perfect fit for our wedding in Ludington, MI. We knew right after our first zoom call that we didn’t want anyone else to officiate our wedding other than Chad. Talking to him felt like talking to an old friend. He even let us send him our vows ahead of time so he could give us some feedback on how they sounded and fit together. We also received many compliments from our guest on how much they enjoyed our ceremony. Chad is the best!
