Testimonials
Dear Mike,
Thank you so much for performing our wedding ceremony and making it a special memory. When we first met you, we knew you were the man for the job due to your professionalism, your congeniality, and your sense of humor. These qualities all were showcased during the ceremony when the farm's cows wandered to the fence line and participated in the exchange of vows. Your sense of humor in dealing with the cows, as well as acknowledging special guests really made the ceremony for our friends and family present. Thank you for a memorable day! We will be highly recommending you to others. Expect a call from Dré's parents in 6 years when they plan to renew their vows.
Thank you again,
Dré and Chris Agostino - The Barn at Gibbet Hill, Groton MA 7-9-10

Dear Mike,
Thank you so much for making mine and Jim’s wedding day one that we will never forget. You brought the perfect blend of professionalism, thoughtfulness and humor to our ceremony and everyone present thought it was just beautiful. Thank you for all of your attention during this whole process, you promptly answered every question (by phone or email) even if I had already asked them or it was mentioned somewhere in writing. Also, thank you for the coordination that I’m sure you did on the back end with our other vendors to make sure everything went smoothly (from the photos to the music). We are very thankful to have had you serve as our Justice of the Peace.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. James Currie - Lake Pearl Luciano's, Wrentham MA 6-12-10

Dear Mike,
Thank you so much for all of the work you did to make our ceremony perfect. We were so happy with how everything went, and we will cherish and remember those memories forever.
Thank you for all that you did for us.
Love,
CJ and Karen - Wedgewood Pines, Stow MA 6-19-10

Mike,
We cannot thank you enough for officiating our wedding ceremony. You incorporated the perfect combination of humor and eloquence into our ceremony, leaving us and our guests in great spirits. It was the perfect start to a perfect night! We were completely flabbergasted when we learned that our disk jockey failed to show up on time, but your professionalism and preparedness (with having your own sound system on site) saved the day! The ceremony went flawlessly, despite our fears of almost certain disaster! We thank you, also, for allowing us a "Mulligan" kiss!
We never expected to be able to customize our ceremony to the extent that we did, and that would not have been possible without your guidance. The surprise presentation of the Family Medallion to Tyler went perfectly. Its impact will resonate forever in our hearts.
Mike, you are a true professional, and a genuinely kind and pleasant man. It's obvious that you enjoy what you do, and we would implore you to keep doing it, because you do it so well. We will hold you in our hearts forever, and we will think of you often and fondly.
Gratefully,

Thanks again!

My wife and I were struggling with the stresses and chaos of organizing our wedding day. It was time to find an officiant and create our Ceremony. We are not deeply religious, but certainly spiritual and wanted a ceremony that was us, encompassing our feelings and our beliefs. We went and met Mike and were immediately comforted by his gentle and kind demeanor. He introduced himself, told us how happy he was for us, how simple this process could be, and that with all the stress and chaos, don’t get lost in what’s going to be our day. Good Advice Mike, We tried. Anyway, Mike was wonderful! He helped us create something perfect for us and made it so simple. Oh and by the way, he charges less than half of what others quoted us, and we loved him!!!

Hi Mike,
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for your eloquent words and witty humor at our wedding on Saturday. You have a knack for not only entertaining the guests, but keeping everyone else cool, calm and collected during the ceremony. You have been a pleasure to work with in the daunting and stressful process of planning a wedding and provided us with the guidance we needed in creating a unique ceremony. We will be certain to recommend you to anyone we know who is in need of a JP!
Best Regards,
Meghan & Christopher Laverdiere - Hartman Herb Farm, Barre, MA 5-16-09

Mike,
We cannot say enough about Mike's professionalism and help during our wedding. His organization and playbook helped us put together the ceremony for us. He gave us ideas and options to think about. It made planning the ceremony very easy. Our wedding coordinator quit 30 mins before our wedding, but Mike was there to help organize and keep us calm. We would recommend Mike to anyone.
Thanks again.

Your mix of compassion & humor was perfect! We received many compliments on our ceremony and we owe it all to you. You played an integral part in making our wedding the best day of our lives.
Thank you once again,

Mike did an excellent job with all the details of his service for our big day. My husband and I met with him and instantly knew he was the one, from his easy going personality and his knowledge about ceremonies, to his ability to work with us from out of state. He provided us with samples of ceremonies, making it much easier to design our own ceremony. He also made suggestions as to what would work and how long each piece of the ceremony would take.
Mike has a great sense of humor and made some improvisations that were just right to our special day. I would recommend you talk to Mike about your wedding and hire him to provide services. He is also very good letting his couples know what the paper work is going to look like and the time restraints that are associated with getting your license.
Thanks Mike for a job well done!,
Julie & Lee Kibbe - Cyprian Keyes, Boylston, MA 5-3-09

Thank you so much for marrying us! The ceremony was a nice reflection of who James and I are together. We hope you son's wedding went just as smoothly and congratulations on the new addition to your family. Thanks again!

My Husband and I just got married this August. We were having a fairly difficult time trying to find a JP for our wedding. Then someone turned us on to JP Mike Backer. We’re so glad they did! Mike was a real pleasure to work with. He ran through the whole process step by step for us. It made planning our wedding so much easier. He provided us so much more than we had expected. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!
Happily,
Mr. and Mrs. Gaudet
Married in Massachusetts

I would highly recommend Mike Backer services. He was absolutely wonderful to work with during the entire wedding planning process. We were looking for a “personality” with professionalism and we found it in Mike. Not only was he extremely organized but he also provided us with a binder of helpful information, which made the entire process so much easier. The rehearsal dinner and our wedding would not have been the same without him. All of our wedding party and families agree!
