"A marriage is based upon a foundation of trust, faith, and commitment. Trust to keep you open and honest with each other. Faith in each other to allow you to overcome doubt and adversity. Perhaps most importantly, commitment to keep you true to the promises you make to each other today." ***** Michael Moody, author of the self-improvement book Redefine Yourself: The Simple Guide to Happiness and host of “The Elements of Being” podcast, serves as an ordained minister in Denver (the LoDo, River North, Highland, Cherry Creek, Washington Park, and Capitol Hill neighborhoods) as well as Chicago (the River North, West Loop, Bucktown, Wicker Park, Old Town, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, South Loop, West Town, Logan Square, and Streeterville neighborhoods). He is also the recent winner of the 2022 WeddingWire Couples' Choice Award in Denver and Chicago (the seventh consecutive year). Michael's philosophy has evolved from a foundation of health, happiness, and mindfulness. His writings and speeches reflect the hope and inspiration of the people who surround him and the innate character of all beings. Michael believes that marriage will make each of you stronger so you will have the energy and passion to do things you might not choose to do alone. Since 2012, Michael's holistic experience has helped him publish his book and serve as the Chicago and Denver wedding officiant for many wedding ceremonies. His “Traditional” as well as “Justice of the Peace” packages (see below) are truly unique and memorable experiences.
