About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Married By Michael is a wedding officiant based in Burlington, Ontario, catering to ceremonies throughout Canada and America. Michael Hauser is willing to travel as far as needed, based on his availability. Mike has over a decade of experience officiating weddings since his younger sister first asked him to do so in 2012. The positive feedback, coupled with the fun Mike had crafting the ceremony, made it easy for him to say "yes" when asked by a friend to join his business.

Services Offered

Michael has been the officiant at over 100 weddings and recently ventured out on his own with the creation of Married By Michael. When choosing an officiant, many couples experience anxiety trying to find one they can trust with the biggest moment of their lives.

Married By Michael helps eliminate this anxiety for couples and keeps the spotlight where it belongs: on you!

Couldn't be happier!

Mike officiated our wedding in June and we could not have been happier with his services! He was personable, professional and incredibly flexible. It was very sentimental to be married by the same person as my in-laws were in 2015. My husband and I highly recommend his services!

Margaret & Omar - Paletta Park Wedding 💍

Michael was fantastic, both my wife and I have a very cherished memory and experience.

Thanks to Michael's professional expertise we were able to make such a private and small moment one of the best moments in our lives.

Michael was helpful and willing every step of the way, walking us through his scripts, ceremony expectations, and willingness to customize his services to fit our use case. He was open to adding our own personalizations to the service.

I will always remember the day, especially since we were so worried about the weather warnings for our special moment, Michael was willing to go anywhere and endure any level of weather conditions even if it meant coming home in a waterlogged suit.

Thank you again Michael for such an amazing day - your professionalism and bubbly personality made that moment for us even more memorable and meaningful.

I recommend everyone consider Michael for your own special moments, he'll make sure it's a memory you'll hold close to your heart always 💜

Mike Creates Magic!

Mike is the perfect officiant. From the start he met with us in person and wanted to learn more about us, he sent us ceremony options months in advance so we could plan accordingly. He walked us through the entire rehearsal and made sure we were prepared. On wedding day he was so genuine in his happiness for us, he was prepared and made it comfortable for the very nervous couple! We couldn’t not have picked a better officiant!! Thank you Mike!

Super Experience!

We had a great experience with Michael. He was flexible with a last minute booking and working with to get a expedited licence. We will be using him again when we have our formal service next year.

Thanks again Michael!

Our Wedding Day Experience With Married By Michael

What an amazing day and Mike was a huge part in making it that way! From the rehearsal the right before to the wedding day we couldn't have asked for our ceremony to go smoother. Mike set up meetings with us and asked all the right questions to make our vision come to life!

A pleasure to have marry us

Mike was awesome!
From the first contact to the moment he left after the ceremony he was like a great friend with us. He was so easy to talk to, great smile and personality, he made the process so easy and his enthusiasm during the ceremony made our day extra special. His temple of the ceremony was a huge help on making our ceremony and vows ours, i wouldn’t have known where to start without it. I will suggest Mike to anyone else i know who is getting married.

Punctual, friendly, and a confident speaker

Mike married us in Aug 2024, and we found him really great to work with! He is very friendly and kind, happy and genuine. We had a few video calls with him leading up to the wedding so that we knew everything would work out the way we wanted. He provided us with some ceremony templates and from there we built our own ceremony which he was happy to run with! He reviewed everything with us well in advance, and did a practice run with us over a video chat before our wedding.
During the wedding, Mike was punctual, well-dressed, and friendly. He spoke with confidence, and he knew when to graciously step aside for the ceremony kiss/photographers, which we never even thought about asking him to do!!
We highly recommend Mike!

Excellent officiant!

Mike was great! From our first virtual meeting we knew that he was the right choice. He had answers to all of our questions and was super responsive. He made everything very easy and he was flexible when it came to our ceremony choices. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone getting married and looking for an officiant!
