Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and I’m here to help make it UNFORGETTABLE!

Serving couples across Chicagoland, I’m passionate about making your ceremony the highlight of your big day—for you and your guests.

There were a lot of tears shed during the ceremony (and not just from those of us up at the front). We had many of our guests tell us how great he was afterwards. Rev. Dave puts in a lot of care to making the ceremony special, including lots of time dedicated to the couple to learn more about them as well as running the rehearsal, making sure everyone does a great job for the day of. My husband and I really appreciated not having to worry about any ceremony logistics as Rev. Dave had everything in his hands!

"I Do" Weddings, Ltd.

  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Serves Buckingham, 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.

Rev. Phil delivered an unforgettably touching, humorous, and unique ceremony that our guests raved about. When we first found Rev. Phil, we didn't have any specific vision for our ceremony - we assumed that since we were looking for a secular ceremony that it would be bare-boned. But after speaking to Rev. Phil (who was glad to perform a secular ceremony!) and watching the love story videos on his website, we clicked immediately and took the plunge. We did go beyond our original budget, but it was so worth it.

Fab Weddings 

5.0

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Buckingham, IL

At Fab Weddings, we believe that Love is love, and helping couples happily head toward I DO is my calling. Your story, your love, your life together are the reason for the wonder of a wedding. For the ceremony, you and I create the wedding of your dreams, and spend quality time sharing your journey. I weave your lives together in an original message.

Jane was one of the best parts of our day. After my now husband heard me laughing and talking easily through my initial phone call to Jane, we both knew she was the officiant for us. She helped us all truly relish in the joy of our family coming together. But not only was she fun and easy to work with, she's also deeply insightful. Her message was so uniquely inspiring to us that it actually helped me commit to some other changes in my life, and my wedding day become not just a pivotal moment for our relationship but for the journey of my life. She was able to speak those important words because she got to know us so well during our preparation video call. We were astonished by the things she elucidated from that relatively short time together. You can also tell Jane truly cares about the couples with whom she works. She's kept in contact with us since the wedding, and we can feel her genuine happiness and best wishes for us radiating from her. I think it is also worth mentioning that Jane was flexible and not the kind of person to be easily frazzled. We had some last minute changes, even ones that occurred during the ceremony, and Jane flowed right with it and made it look like it was the plan all along. We especially appreciated her flexibility in helping us include our young child in the ceremony. We weren't sure we wanted a pastor officiating our wedding, because we didn't want it to be religious. Jane was totally cool with that too. To be honest, I didn't first reach out to Jane because I wasn't sure I wanted a "fab" wedding, haha. We wanted an intimate, meaningful, heartfelt ceremony, and I wasn't sure if a business named "fab weddings" would be the right fit. But oh my goodness, I was so wrong. Our wedding was fabulously intimate, fabulously meaningful, and fabulously heartfelt. Although I'm sure if you want a good ol' fabulous wedding, she can do that too. All in all, I simply cannot recommend Jane enough. She absolutely has found her calling and is using it to spread a lot of love and light.

Sara was incredibly patient, answering all of our questions thoughtfully. I especially appreciated that she provided PDFs of potential readings to choose from—something I felt totally overwhelmed about before she offered her help. I loved how beautifully she incorporated all of our preferences into the ceremony. She even allowed us to proofread her speech ahead of time, and I absolutely loved it. I only requested one small change, which she was incredibly receptive to. On our wedding day, Sara spoke so elegantly and clearly.

At Forever Incredible Ceremonies, I specialize in crafting custom, heartfelt wedding ceremonies that are as unique as the love stories behind them. I take the time to get to know each couple, weaving their journey, values, and vision into a one-of-a-kind ceremony that feels personal, joyful, and deeply meaningful. Whether you're planning a luxury wedding, a multicultural celebration, or a heartfelt elopement, my goal is to make your ceremony the most memorable part of your day. Based in Chicago and available for travel, I bring warmth, professionalism, and a little magic to every celebration I’m lucky enough to officiate.

The best decision I've ever made was to marry my husband. The second-best decision I've made was hiring Carla of Forever Incredible Ceremonies to be our officiant. Leading up to our wedding, she really took the time to get to know me and my husband and to learn about our love story. The ceremony she wrote for us was astoundingly personalized--her attention to detail is like no other. She offered beautiful & fitting suggestions when we didn't know where to begin with readings, had excellent ideas for a unity ceremony that was unique to our family, and customized the structure of the ceremony so it felt just like "us". We found her pricing to be right in line with our expectations. Carla's friendly and outgoing personality helped her to really connect with our guests, and the ceremony came across as relaxed and genuine--exactly the vibe were shooting for. We received many compliments on the ceremony from our guests, and at least one couple in attendance has gone on to hire Carla to officiate their wedding. I attended that wedding last fall, and the ceremony was entirely different from my own but once again captured that couple perfectly. Carla is a wonderful officiant and I will recommend her over and over again.
