About Me
My name is Mike, and after 38 years in the hospitality industry—owning and managing restaurants, bars, and nightclubs—I retired and relocated from New Jersey to the Florida Keys in 2020 to be closer to family. Not long after, a chance recommendation led me to become a wedding officiant, a role I never expected but now truly cherish. For the past four years, I’ve had the honor of marrying couples in the Keys, creating ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique story and vision. Outgoing, confident, and personable, I take pride in making people feel celebrated and ensuring their special day is unforgettable.

We truly couldn’t have imagined a more meaningful or personal ceremony—and that’s entirely thanks to Mike. His presence as our officiant brought an extra layer of warmth and authenticity to our wedding day. He spoke with genuine sincerity, heartfelt emotion, and just the right amount of humor, creating a beautiful balance that perfectly reflected who we are as a couple. Every word felt intentional, and every moment thoughtfully crafted. We’re deeply grateful for the care and love he poured into making our ceremony so memorable. Thank you, Mike, for giving us a moment we’ll cherish for a lifetime.
