Michael Parise – More Than a Comedian, More Than a Minister
Michael Parise – Ordained Minister | Comedian | Life Officiant
Michael Parise, a nationally recognized comedian and entrepreneur with over three decades in the spotlight, is now also an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church. Known for bringing heart, humor, and humanity to everything he does, Michael combines the power of presence with the gift of storytelling to create unforgettable, personalized ceremonies.
His decision to become ordained wasn’t just about titles—it was about purpose. After a lifetime of connecting with people from all walks of life through laughter, Michael saw a deeper calling: to serve others at their most pivotal moments—weddings, vow renewals, celebrations of life, and everything in between. Whether he’s officiating a traditional ceremony or a comedy-infused experience, he brings authenticity, warmth, and a touch of wit that makes every event meaningful and one-of-a-kind.
Rooted in spiritual openness and a belief in love in all its forms, Michael sees his ministry as an extension of his life’s mission—to inspire, connect, and uplift. Based in Franklin, Tennessee, and available nationwide, he’s not just here to say the words… he’s here to make them matter.
Marriage. Laughter. Legally Binding.
