Michael D. Wade, PhD
Wedding Officiant

I have spent more than five decades serving couples at some of life’s most meaningful moments. As a wedding officiant, it is my honor to guide couples through ceremonies that are personal, sincere, and thoughtfully crafted to reflect who they are and the commitment they are making. Whether your vision is simple and intimate or more traditional, my goal is to create a wedding ceremony that feels authentic, memorable, and deeply meaningful.

​

In addition to officiating weddings, my background includes many years of pastoral and premarital counseling. This experience allows me to approach each ceremony with care, understanding, and respect for the foundation of marriage—not just the celebration of the day itself. When desired, I offer premarital counseling as a supportive resource to help couples strengthen communication, clarity, and connection as they prepare for their life together.

​

Every couple’s story is unique, and I consider it a privilege to honor that story with intention, professionalism, and warmth. My role is to support you, guide you, and help create a beginning that feels grounded, joyful, and true to who you are.
