I'm Schwa Potter, actor turned wedding officiant based in Milwaukee, WI. I write and lead every ceremony myself, from intimate elopements to big splashy celebrations. Couples choose between two options. The Quickie Ceremony ($300) is a 5 to 7 minute legal ceremony, ideal for elopements and small gatherings. The Signature Ceremony ($950) is 15 to 25 minutes, totally original, and couldn't work for anyone but you. I direct the ceremony on the day, and rehearsal coordination is available for $150. I'll guide you through the legal process, and make sure your license is signed and filed correctly. I serve Milwaukee, Southeast Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and travel to destination weddings nationwide for an additional fee.

“We truly could not have imagined a more perfect person to marry us than Rev Dave. From the moment the ceremony began, he had everyone completely engaged. He has such a warm, genuine presence that made every guest feel like they were part of something incredibly special. The ceremony was everything we had hoped for and more. Every word he spoke felt thoughtful, personal, and meaningful. He captured our love story so beautifully that there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd one moment and everyone was smiling the next. He found the perfect balance of heartfelt, emotional, and lighthearted, making the ceremony feel authentic and unforgettable. One of the things we appreciated most was how natural everything felt. He made us feel comfortable standing in front of all our family and friends, and his ability to connect with everyone made the ceremony so memorable. So many of our guests commented afterward about how wonderful he was and how much they loved what he had to say. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and Reverend Dave played such a huge role in making it that way. We will forever be grateful that he was the one who officially started this next chapter of our lives together. If you’re looking for an officiant who is compassionate, engaging, professional, and truly gifted at what he does, Reverend Dave is the one. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you for giving us a ceremony we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.”

I am a non denominational wedding officiant that travels to your location to unite you. I pride myself with open communication for my couples this way I can learn more about you both and create a beautiful ceremony that reflects your beautiful love story.

“A few seconds before our ceremony it started to drizzle and there were giant dark rain clouds above us, my fiance and I wanted to keep going and we did. Luckily when I got to the altar it stopped and the sun started peeking out but we weren't sure if the rain would stop. I loved that at the beginning of our ceremony Rachel pointed out that its good luck for it to rain on one's wedding day. This changed the vibe from rain panic to something special and positive. So many guests came up to tell us how beautiful the ceremony was and they loved the "Love Story" Rachel wrote about us. She got to know so much about our relationship and us as individuals and captured everything that makes us special into that story. We laughed, we cried, full of joy. She was such a special part of our day and will recommend her to anyone”
