Wedding Officiant Dr. Mike Ghouse

Based in Washington, DC, Interfaith Marriages offers professional wedding officiant services. Lead officiant Dr. Mike Ghouse, a member of the American Marriage Ministries, specializes in uniting couples from different religious backgrounds. With a focus on creating a meaningful experience for all couples, Mike is licensed to officiate weddings in all 50 states and is willing to travel to any destination. Since 2009, he has officiated over 200 weddings.

Mike's process begins with a consultation to learn about the couple, their story, religious backgrounds, and their vision for the ceremony. He encourages couples to share their ideas and can incorporate special readings, blessings, or traditions to create a personalized service. Before the wedding day, couples can finalize any details they want to include.

Services offered include couples counseling, conflict resolution, wedding arrangements, and planning. Mike is experienced in blending different traditions, be they non-religious, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Bahai, or others. He is happy to engage with parents and guardians and offer solutions that bring everyone together. Mike is committed to pluralism in religion, politics, societies, human rights, and religious freedom, and his mission is to open people’s hearts and minds towards fellow humans.
