    Best Wedding Ceremony!

    We highly recommend Rev. Fr. Michael J. Calderin to officiate your wedding! He took the time to meet with us several times before our ceremony to get to know us and be able to create a wonderful and personalized ceremony. We laughed and cried along with our guests during our wedding ceremony. It was a pleasure working with him and cannot recommend his services enough! Thank you for making our wedding ceremony one we’ll never forget.

    Saint Jude Ministries's reply:

    Thank you for the wonderful words! It was such a pleasure working with you both to create your special moment! I know we will see each other soon and definitely stay in touch.
    Love, Rev. Michael

    Perfect Wedding

    From start to end, Reverand Michael Calderin's responsiveness, warmth and attentional to detail was exceptional. He managed to capture the essence of our Catholic and Jewish faiths equally while personalizing the wedding vows of my daughter and son-in law. He spent time with them before the wedding not only getting to know they but also helping them open the door to discuss what they wanted out of a future together and did it working with their very busy schedules and not taking up too much of their valuable time. There is no one else I would have chosen to perform their ceremony or who could have made the day more magical.

    Saint Jude Ministries's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kind words. It was such a pleasure working with you, the family, and an amazing couple so much in love! I’m looking forward to being a part of the future chapters with the growing family. Many blessings to you all.
    Love, Rev. Michael

    Very Pleased With St Jude Ministries

    Reverend Calderin did an amazing job at our wedding. We wanted a reverend like him who could do a religious ceremony with a mixture of English and Spanish, spoken for different sides of our families. Multiple people commented to me about how beautifully done the ceremony was while being led by Reverend Michael Calderin. We are very pleased with our choice to have him at our event.

    Saint Jude Ministries's reply:

    Thanks so much! It was really a great pleasure working with you both. We all had a great time on your wedding day and I also enjoyed spending time with your family and friends. I know we will stay in touch! Love, Rev. Michael

    The best wedding officiant!!

    Reverend Michael is so wonderful! We can not thank him enough for the beautiful ceremony he gave to us! We had a blended religion ceremony and wanted to keep everything light hearted, warm, and loving. He was absolutely perfect. Many guests told us throughout the night that this was the best ceremony they ever saw! We are so grateful to have met him and know we will be lifelong friends. Thank you Reverend Michael!

    Thanks so much!! We have definitely had some great times and I look forward to many more in the future! Love, Rev. Michael

    Rev Michael Calderin was amazing!

    We were so happy to have picked Rev Michael Calderin officiating our wedding day! We met for premarital counseling a few times which was very insightful, in addition to a couple of times to help plan our ceremony. We were so pleased with our wedding ceremony- he incorporated everything we discussed while making everyone laugh multiple times throughout. I received so many compliments on how wonderful they thought Rev Michael Calderin did with the ceremony!

    Saint Jude Ministries's reply:

    Thanks so much Katie and Matt! It was truly a pleasure working with you both. Then the great surprise of knowing Matt’s dad was a bonus. I hope to see you soon as we already know you live close to one of my favorite restaurants where we held one of our meetings, LOL.
    Love, Rev. Michael

    Wedding Officiant Reverend Michael Calderin

    I truly do not know what I could say to describe the happiness, safe, peaceful feeling that Reverend Calderin made my husband and I feel on my wedding day and even before. Reverend Michael truly makes you feel like you are the only couple in the world on your wedding day, as you should! I loved our talk with him, my husband, and I prior to the wedding. It made me feel more connected to him, instead of meeting an officiant day of. On our wedding day, my husband said he felt so at ease to have Reverend Michael there. He calmed his nerves and made us laugh throughout our ceremony. I cannot recommend Reverend Michael enough. I personally know 3 others couples that are using his services, you can be next!!!!!!!!!

    Saint Jude Ministries's reply:

    Thanks so much Carina and Luis! We certainly had some great times leading up to your special day. And I will see you next month at another wedding LOL. I know we will stay connected. Love, Rev. Michael

    Amazing Wedding Officiant

    Rev. Michael Calderin officiated our wedding in December 2023 and it was amazing. Not only was the ceremony great, but he also helped so much with his premarital counseling and assisting us with how to acquire our marriage license. We got so many compliments from our guests about how great our officiant was. We can't thank him enough for making our wedding day so special!

    Saint Jude Ministries's reply:

    Thanks so much and many blessings to you both. I’m so happy that everything fell into place the way you both wanted it and we certainly had a lot of fun leading up to your special day. Let’s catch up soon for a post marital session! Love, Rev. Michael

    Excellent, Professional

    We went with Reverend Michael because our venue suggested him. We needed someone who could speak both English and Spanish. He always replied to my questions quickly and was really nice. On the wedding day, the ceremony he led was beautiful, and my whole family loved it.

    Thanks so much and Happy New Year! You were both very easy to work with and I do hope we stay in touch for years to come! Love, Rev. Michael

    Excellent , extremely grateful for Reverend Michael

    We cannot thank Reverend Michael enough for creating a truly magical ceremony on our wedding day. We got married at The Addison on December 23rd, 2023. His eloquence, genuine warmth, and personalized touch turned our vows into a moment we'll cherish forever. The atmosphere he created was nothing short of enchanting. From the first time I tried to reach him till the day we got married it was perfect. We are immensely grateful for his exceptional service and the beautiful memories he helped us craft. Our heartfelt thanks to Reverend Michael for making our special day absolutely unforgettable!

    Five star service from someone who truly cared !

    The reverend met with us several times to get to know us as a couple. He was there for us to provide pre-marital consultation and even included our daughter in the ceremony. He made the ceremony extremely romantic with a rose exchange. He was extremely articulate when he spoke and even inserted humor to keep the ceremony interesting. The Reverend went above and beyond to recommend amazing vendors to us.

    Saint Jude Ministries's reply:

    Thanks so much! The year definitely flew by so quickly as we were getting to know each other. It certainly made your wedding day even more special. I look forward to seeing you both soon. Love, Rev. Michael

    Rev Mike is the best!!

    We had a destination wedding, it was important to us the ceremony feel personal, not generic so selecting the right officiant was important to us. Reverand Mike was the perfect choice!
    Not only was he super helpful connecting us with other vendors (he knows EVERYONE! and everyone LOVES him!) He guided us through the process of securing a marriage license and everything we needed to know leading up to the big day. Our calls leading up to the wedding were helpful for him to get to know us and to provide guidance and advice. During the ceremony he incorporated personal stories, along with humor. Many of our guests have commented after how special it was. Choose Reverand Mike and you can't go wrong!

    Saint Jude Ministries's reply:

    Thanks so much Lauren and Justin! I truly appreciate your kind words and the friendship we have formed. I know we will stay in touch for a long time! Love, Rev. Michael

    Such a kind hearted soul

    We were so blessed to have Reverend Michael J Calderin officiate our wedding. From the first moment my husband and I met him we saw the beautiful soul he had and we just had to have him be apart of a special day. He made the process of obtaining our marriage license so easy. He was also very responsive any time we had a question. His words during our ceremony were so beautiful all our guests felt so connected. He is a perfect choice to officiate your wedding and we are so glad we met him!!!

    Rev Michael Calderin was amazing!!

    We had the best experience with Rev Calderin! From the initial consultation call to the ceremony everything was amazing. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and individuals. We felt so comfortable going into wedding day and he hit it out of the park with the ceremony. It was everything we could have wanted and more. He kept things serious and romantic but also added perfectly timed humor. My husband and I can't stop talking about how perfect the ceremony was. Our guests raved and are still raving about how great the ceremony was. We are so happy we went Rev Calderin for our wedding and are so grateful to have created a life long relationship with him!

    Saint Jude Ministries's reply:

    Thanks so much! We definitely had a great time through all phases of the planning and the ceremony! I know we also have a lifelong connection. Hope to chat soon. Love, Rev. Michael

    Oct. 22, 2023 best wedding ever

    It took us a long time to leave a review, not because I wasn't sure of how many stars to give you but , how to write, how grateful we were. From our first conversation on the phone, it felt like you were family. My guest thought you knew me for a long time, when in fact it's only been a year since we started planning. Thank you so much for making us feel special. Everyone laughed, and cried, and enjoyed every part of the ceremony. This only happens, when someone puts so much care in the work they do. I enjoyed the pre marital meetings. I haven't laughed so much with someone I was meeting for the first time, and BTW I am so happy you enjoyed the cake so much.

    Thank you again for making our day so extra special. We enjoyed every minute of your sermon.
    Much Love,
    Cesar and Eva
