    Hi, Sarah. Thank you and Christian for being such a fun couple to work with. Your fur baby, Mabel, is the cutest! It was an honor to have been part of your wedding ceremony at the Armour House. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness.

    Michael was fantastic!! He made it very easy to customize the ceremony. The rehearsal ran so smoothly with the help of his direction. In the few weeks since our wedding, we’ve gotten so many comments about how beautiful the ceremony was!!

    Perfect ceremony with an experienced Officiant

    As a wedding planner, it is always so great to work with an experienced Officiant. We worked together at The Barn at Timber Pointe in Mundelein. Michael facilitated the rehearsal efficiently and with some fun too! He personalized the ceremony based on the bride and groom's vision and story. With his guidance and tips, the ceremony was seamless. It was such a pleasure to be part of beautiful moment. I would definitely recommend Hitched by MV to any of my wedding clients in the future!
