Rev. Tuttle was great to work with. The planning process was very defined. He provided many options and helped us craft a ceremony that fit our needs. His delivery that day was great. We received many compliments from our guests on the service.

Reverend Tuttle was there for me every step of the way! If I had a question, he had an answer. The communication between us was great! The best part was the personalization of our wedding ceremony. Reverend Tuttle was able to get to know us so well that when the ceremony was written, it was written just for us. My fiance and I were able to choose what we wanted to read and say. So personal and perfect. I couldn't imagine anyone else performing the ceremony.

Revr Brian is a wonderful man and truly amazing at what he does. He was everything we wanted in an officiant. His humor and professional demeanor fit so well with our personalities. He was extremely organized, professional, and very helpful whenever I had a question. And believe me, I had many many questions. But I never felt I was a bother or my questions a problem. He gave such great advice for both our ceremony - and our wedding day. His wife Johnda helps too, and she was so wonderful with the rehearsal logistics and at the ceremony. We did not know she would be helping too, and with so much going on with the processional we were so thankful she was helping!, We had such a meaningful service we have already planned a vow renewal and want Revr Brian to do any baptisms we might have. I'd highly recommend him! Thank you so much for making our wedding memoriable and allowing us to create our own unique ceremony and make it exactly what we wanted!

Reverend Tuttle is an absolutely amazing choice for a destination wedding on Mackinac Island. I can assure you that he will not disappoint in any way, and he goes above and beyond to make sure your special day is everything you had always hoped for. We were so extremely pleased with Reverend Tuttle's ability to customize and personalize a ceremony just for us even though we live several states away. He created the most beautiful and memorable ceremony that was beyond compare. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an absolutely amazing and unforgettable ceremony:)

Reverend Brian was our prayer answered. We wanted a simple wedding on Mackinac Island, with only us and a few guests. He provided the most amazing ceremony, and it was very special for us both. He was wonderful to reply to our emails and calls and just made everything smootha and perfect. We are so glad we found him. Anyone needing a minister on the island should call him!Carla and Ben

Reverend Brian Tuttle performed our ceremony on Mackinac Island in Michigan. We had to plan everything over the phone and everything went far better than expected. Rev. Brian is very professional, personnel and respectful of the bride and grooms requests. Writing the ceremony was a lot of fun for the groom and myself since we got to chose every aspect of the ceremony reading. Once we arrived on the island, Rev Brian arrived the evening before and we all went through the rehearsal flawlessly. The next day, he arrived 2 hrs. early and went over the ceremony with all the vendors and worked out the last few details with the groom. All in all, he was the perfect the officiant for our wedding and we would not change a thing!!!! Thanks Rev. Brian. Once our pictures come in from the photographer we will be sending you a CD of them all! Thanks Again!!!!!!!

Rev Brian provided a wonderful experience, starting with his quick reply and caring spirit. Our ceremony was better than we imagined because of his help and guidance.We also want to say that there are many out there who we spoke with that upon investigation were claiming to be ministers but were internet ordained and some who refused to tell us how they were qaulified. Many didnt have time to speak with us when we called because they worked full time somewhere else or this was a part time hobby. Rev Brian was there for us and met us on our schedule and was always there to assist. And since we live in another country and our work schedules, those meetings came very very late at night. We didnt understand that there was a difference but now we do! Thank you for helping us to have the wedding of our dreams! Liz and Michael F.

Our mackinac island experience was wonderful and it was all possible because Rev Tuttle went above and beyond for our wedding ceremony and trip to the island. We arrived late in mackinaw city after the ferry stops running. He helped us arrange for our stay that evening, and met us on the island the next day to perform our ceremony. We are a cahtolic couple who wanted a religious ceremony and he provided the elements within it that were most meaningful to us. We only brought a few familiy members on this trip but all were moved by his words and delivery. We contacted two others from the magazine but both took a long time to return our calls and didnt have a website. They didnt seem interested in helping us with a special ceremony too. Rev Tuttle was always quick to respond, in both our inital inquiry and all our followup questions. We stayed on the island for a night, and had a special dinner at the bistro. We wouldnt change a thing and think anyone seeking a wedding ceremony should only call Rev Tuttle

Where do we start? Reverend Tuttle was not our first choice as there are choices $100 cheaper. But those cheaper choices on the island didn't call back or were rude when they did. And one didn't offer what we wanted. After talking with him, we knew then that this was the right choice. He responds to emails quickly and we fell in love with him. Some claim to be very accommodating and helpful, but not by what we found. We thought price was everything but not on Mackinaw Island. We encourage anyone who cares about their wedding to call him only. Thank you Reverend Tuttle - nothing could have been better.

Reverend Tuttle, We want everyone to know that you helped us with only a moments notice during a very busy weekend on Mackinac Island. We called on Thursday and didn't know the bridal show was that weekend. Reverend Tuttle was also trying to relocate for the winter, and we asked if he had time to marry us. After working the bridal show that day, he married us downtown at our hotel, and it was wonderful. We know you were tired and very busy, and yet we felt as thoughthis had been planned for months and you had no other worries but us. We will always remember you and the wonderful experience on Mackinac. Sue and Tim

Reverand Tuttle did an excellent job of tailoring the wedding ceremony for our individual needs. He is very quick to respond via email or telephone and this made planning a destination wedding very helpful.

Our wedding and ceremony was just so meaningful, so beautiful, so special! Everything that we hoped for. We thank you Rev Brian, from the bottom of our hearts for a ceremony that was perfect. Your words hit home and your genuine sincerity touched us deeply. You created moments for us that we will forever cherish. Thank you a thousand times over for creating exactly what we wanted on Sept 15 on beautiful Mackinac Island. Ed and I will forever think of you fondly as we celebrate every anniversary....

There isn't enough space to express my gratitude towards Rev. Tuttle! Out of all the wedding planning experiences, he was by far the best decision we made for our officiant! At out first face to face meeting, we were blown away with how accommodating he was, since we did not have a specific idea of how we wanted our ceremony to go. Anything we had ideas about, he knew how to use them in the appropriate spots and explore them more if they needed to be. He was very kind, respectful, and extremely easy going. He really understood what we wanted, even if we didn't exactly know. We don't belong to a specific religion and wanted to include religious and non-religious items in our ceremony. He gave us a wide range of ceremony choices and also let us include personal stories to incorporate into our ceremony, that made it our own ceremony. He doesn't just read the same ceremonies over and over again, and really takes the time for each couple to make a ceremony fit their needs. He was able to write a beautiful ceremony out of passages that we selected and the entire ceremony flowed wonderfully!

Rev. Brian Tuttle created the most memorable, lovely, tasteful, timeless ceremony we could have possibly imagined. My husband and I wanted our wedding to be centered around our ceremony. We wanted the ceremony to represent us as a couple, we wanted something that told our story. Though we'd never met Rev. Brian before the day of the ceremony, we'd worked with him over the phone and via email. We, together, created a ceremony that was incredibly personal and intimate. Working with Rev. Brain allowed my husband and I the ability to cater every aspect of our wedding to our desires. I being Catholic and my husband being non-denominational, we opted to have our ceremony on the front porch of Grand Hotel Mackinac Island. We couldn't have selected a better venue or a more well suited officiant. I would recommend Rev. Brian Tuttle over and over and over again. Not only is he professional, well spoken and incredibly comfortable doing what he does (and great at making everyone at ease!), he is also someone we like to consider family. Who would have thought choosing a Reverend over the internet would have led to a lifelong friend and someone we'd love to call family!

We can only say that this was absolutely the best choice we made for our wedding, and Reverend Brian provided so much help and direction to plan our day. Hlep that was above-and-beyond anything we expected or paid him for. And the ceremony he helped us create was beyond great and his performance made our guests cry - it was so moving. Anyone who thinks he is not worth every penny paid,, plus more doesn't appreciate what he does. Thank you Reverend Brian for making our day P-E-R-F-E-C-T !

Rev. Brian Tuttle is wonderful to work with. If you are considering a destination wedding, and want a more elaborate ceremony, Rev. Tuttle is a perfect choice. We had a wonderful experience working with Rev. Brian--the process of putting our ceremony together brought us even closer together as a couple and the help we had from Rev. Brian in crafting a ceremony that truly reflected our beliefs and our feelings made our ceremony the beautiful, emotional experience we were hoping for. Many of our guests commented that it was the most beautiful ceremony they'd ever attended. Thanks, Rev. Tuttle, for your help!

We are so pleased we choose Rev. Brian for our wedding ceremony. We are older couuple from Ohio and wanted a casual outdoor ring ceremony. He accommodated us in every way We told him about us and our lives and Rev Brian made our ceremony so personal and spoke with such heart, he is a very caring person. I was very nervous as I wanted to have such privacy in an outdoor setting but once I met him he made me feel so comfortable I forgot all about being nervous Rev also advised us as to where to stay in Frankenmuth and in Mackinaw which we greatly appreciated. Thank you Reverend Brian

Attention Wedding Couples! We want everyone to know who reads this that we found out the hard way that all Officiants are not the same. Our love and thanks for Rev Tuttle coming to our rescue. We had someone we found online to marry us. We bargain shopped, but he cancelled on us in May. Our friend then said he wanted to marry us, but at the last minute he got cold feet, instead of the Groom. We were left with no one to help, nothing done, and less than 3 weeks to our wedding. No one was available by this time, but a chance internet search found Rev Tuttle. He cancelled personal plans with his families blessing, and helped us save our wedding and the +40 thousand dollars spent. Rescheduling was out of the question too. We were so blessed that Reverand Brian Tuttle was willing to help. We were a bit shocked in what an officiant costs, but our maid or honor was just married two months ago, and she could not believe the ceremony, rehearsal, and all what he did to help us the day of our wedding. She said her wedding day planner and minister together both didn't hold a candle to what Rev Tuttle provided, that her minister did nothing to help but say the ceremony and that Rev Tuttles ceremony made her cry it was so beautiful - us too! So there are two opinions and all the comments we read on this site reflect his talent and caring spirit. Dont look any farther. We didnt know we needed him but in the end we were truly lucky we got him! Thank you Rev Tuttle for everything! Joe and Twila
