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.

“Rev. Dave has such a great, social personality that we appreciated having for our ceremony. He finds ways to involve the guests in the ceremony, cracks jokes, tell our story, and make it such a meaningful ceremony for us and guests alike. 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!”

“Short answer: Yes! Hire Mike for a fantastic officiant! You won’t regret it! Long answer: I have been fortunate to know Mike since university. We were roommates for a year and he has been my soccer captain to this day. When my now wife and I were looking for an officiant, I thought about Mike. Not only because he knows me, but because I know how great of a public speaker he is. How personable he can be with anyone he meets. I guarantee he will take the time to get to know you and your significant other. He will learn every detail of your story. He will personalize your wedding to exactly the way you want. If you don’t know him like I do, still reach out to him. I guarantee you will be amazed by his personality and his care for your love story. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and Mike was truly the cherry on top! I am incredibly happy that we picked Mike to tell our story and create a beautiful ceremony!”

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Thomas Teasdale, aka Tommy and I'm a wedding officiant in the Central Illinois area. I enjoy unique ceremonies like candle lighting, sand pouring, handfasting and many more! If my services interest you. Thank you!

“From our first conversation with The Wandering Officiant, we knew we had found the right person to marry us. They responded to our emails quickly and were clear about what we needed to do to prepare for the ceremony. What really stood out was how thoughtfully they catered to both my Norse Pagan beliefs and our identities as a same-sex couple—they didn't just check boxes, they genuinely cared about getting the details right. The ceremony itself was beautiful and personal, with every word feeling intentional and meaningful for us. Their attention to detail showed that they had really listened to what mattered to us. We felt supported and celebrated on our wedding day, and we'd recommend them in a heartbeat.”
