Rev. Dave was absolutely incredible. He made our premarital counseling sessions such a joy—we looked forward to each one and loved how he took the time to really get to know us. Because of that, he was able to craft a ceremony that felt so personal to our story. He’s professional, thoughtful about every detail, and brought such a steady yet joyful presence to our wedding day. The ceremony flowed seamlessly, and he added such a special energy to the moment. We are so grateful for his guidance, care, and friendship!

Since 2005, we’ve brought love stories to life through heartfelt, personalized ceremonies. With expert guidance and genuine care, we help you create unforgettable moments celebrating your one-of-a-kind bond. It would be a joy and privilege to officiate your special day.

We can’t say enough good things about Pat! She was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, she guided us through every step — from getting our marriage license, to meeting with us to get to know our story, to helping us craft a ceremony that felt so personal and true to us. She made the whole process easy and enjoyable, answering all our questions and giving us the freedom to really make the ceremony our own. She even reviewed our vows and was there if we needed any help or feedback. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and heartfelt our ceremony was, several people told us it was the most personal and meaningful ceremony they’d ever attended, and we owe that to Pat. She did an incredible job and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!

  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Serves Apple River, IL

Rev. Phil is a full-time wedding officiant. He is real minister (with a Master of Divinity degree). He has been married to Pam for 41 years. He enjoys watching movies (tries to see all the Oscar nominees), reading newspapers on his iPad, the Bears, summer concerts at the Chicago Botanic Garden and wine. He and his wife love to chat, listen to music and drink wine in front of their fireplace or in the backyard, depending on the season.

We can’t say enough amazing things about Phil Landers. From the start, he was professional, warm, and incredibly thorough. His planning process was smooth and efficient, and it was obvious why all his reviews were so outstanding—he lives up to every word of praise and then some. What truly sets Phil apart is the personal touch he brings. He didn’t just perform a ceremony; he told our story in a way that made everyone laugh, cry, and feel connected. And then—he did something no one expected. Phil included a one-of-a-kind element in the ceremony that none of our guests had ever seen before. It was creative, heartfelt, and incredibly moving. People are still talking about it, and honestly, so are we. He has a gift for making the ceremony feel intimate and meaningful, without ever being overly formal or generic. It felt like us—which is exactly what we hoped for. Choosing Phil was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. He exceeded every expectation and gave us a ceremony we will never forget. If you're looking for an officiant who brings something truly special to the table, Phil Landers is the one.

Married by Mike was the most incredible officiant we could’ve asked for. He met with us multiple times prior to our wedding day getting to know us, learn our story, and develop a relationship with us prior to our ceremony. All of my guests including us were raving about how wonderful of a service he provided. Highly highly recommend booking Mr. Mike as your officiant if you want the most heartfelt, personalized, God centered service. He made our day and the days leading up to it so special.

I assist in crafting a creative, Jewish wedding ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple. I work with partners that are Jewish, interfaith, and LGBTQ+. I help couples honor their connection to Judaism and show them how to incorporate that respect into their wedding ceremony...in a way that is comfortable for them.

Rabbi Dina was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding ceremony. From our first conversation, Reb Dina was incredibly responsive, communicative, and friendly. We wanted elements of a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony without being overly religious and she took the time to understand our vision and tailored the ceremony to be truly special and personal for us. We received so many compliments from our guests on how special and full of love the ceremony was and what a wonderful job Reb Dina did. She was a delight to work with and really allowed us to customize the ceremony to be exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Reb Dina and her team for any couple looking for a flexible, personalized, and unforgettable wedding officiant!

Our team of officiants has over 600 weddings experience in the last 8 years. We are experienced in creating a ceremony that is perfect for you and your fiancee for the best start to your married life.

Jennifer was wonderful to work with. She was very easy to contact and quickly answered any and all questions. Rehearsal went by so smooth and made sure to allievate any concerns and nerves- everyone knew what to do, when to do it, and how. The ceremony itself was more than what we could have hoped for. Jennifer kept it upbeat, loving, emotional, and just FUN! We were involved in the writing process so the ceremony was personal and full of meaning but kept a lot of surprises for us. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough!!!
