I have had the pleasure of being a witness to Dr. Mike Ghouse's officiation of several weddings, each of which has left a lasting impression on me. His impeccable service, unwavering values, and ability to bring out the most beautiful aspects of any ceremony is truly remarkable. Attending a wedding led by him is a poignant reminder of the importance of the bond of marriage. As someone who cherishes the ideals of pluralism, tolerance, and love for all faiths, I hold Dr. Ghouse's service in the highest esteem. It is a blessing to have such a wonderful individual and his amazing service available to the world. I highly recommend him to all and hold him in the utmost respect.

As a Christian married to a Muslim, we faced difficulty finding an imam to perform our wedding ceremony. Thankfully, we were introduced to Dr. Mike through our wedding planner Phoriah Events, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Prior to the wedding, Dr. Mike held a few sessions with us, and on the day of the wedding, he arrived promptly and delivered an exceptional service. We would highly recommend Dr. Mike to anyone seeking a reliable and professional officiant.
