Post 2, getting to know Michelle behind Officially Michelle.

I am a middle school teacher, having spent 6 years with Fort Wayne Community, this year I am teaching virtually for a school in Louisiana so I can spend more time with my family and on my wedding business.

I enjoy creating, be it making quilts, crafting homemade bread, or writing a unique and fully customized wedding ceremony for my clients, I fully enjoy flexing my creative muscles, however what I love most is getting to know people! That is what makes being a wedding officiant so much fun!!! Getting to know my clients has been a great joy to me over the years. I would love to get to know you, and what makes your relationship perfect for you!

I thought it had been a while since I introduced myself. My name is Michelle Batchelder, and I am happily married to my husband Andy, together we had 3 boys Jacob, Wyatt, and Emmett. I am an inclusive Wedding Officiant in New Haven, Indiana, who has been lucky enough to be a small part of couples big days for several years now. While my calendar is filling up, I do have some dates still available and would love to see if I am a good fit for you!

I have been so busy that I haven't had time to post congratulations to the 17 couples I was honored to officiate weddings for last month, but it was my honor! I mail licenses same day, and can often officiate same day as well!

I had a mother of the groom call me midday Friday frantic because she knew her son and future daughter in law wanted to get married this weekend, but they didn't have everything planned out, I assured her that I could officiate and the bride called me to work out the details. They didn't want a big ceremony because they have a HUGE wedding planned in the future, but for various reasons they wanted to do the paperwork ASAP. I love weddings, be it a little bit of paperwork to be done, or a grand ceremony, I am here for it all!

I originally created this promotion im 2018, but since 2020 has been such an interesting year for us all, I wanted to spread some joy and love to end this year on a positive note, and maybe start 2021 on a high note? 🤞😃

Happy December and happy anniversary to my dear husband! As December is a magical time for us, I wanted to spread the love....

Due Covid I hadn't been able to do any weddings for a while, but we were cleared to get back to work Friday, and I was beyond lucky to officiate a simple, yet beautiful wedding for a very kind and sweet couple.
