“Koru did and AMAZING job at putting together our ceremony! Our guests could not stop raving about how personalized and special the ceremony was. It was truly memorable. Deciding on an officiant was one of our tougher decisions for us during wedding planning. We went back and forth on asking a friend vs hiring a vendor. Pat was so personable and bubbly during our first meet, my husband and I knew the second we hung up on the Zoom meeting that we were going to hire her. Pat was so easygoing and responsive to questions/changes we made throughout the process. She was also a large help during our rehearsal and had a ton of great tips for the wedding party. Hiring Koru was one of the best decision we made for our wedding day.”

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.”

“Your wedding is your big day and one of the most important in your whole lifetime. So if you’re like me (the bride here), making decisions for the day felt a little daunting. However, the one that I was sure about was hiring Mike to officiate. Rest assured reader, Mike is the best of the best. You’ll get fun, light, funny, passion, and lots of kindness. You’ll also get a new friend. Someone who is truly rooting for your marriage. He does this as his passion project, and that passion shines through. Your ceremony will be your favorite part and honestly.. even though I’m a control freak and would like to say my ceremony was the best because of what I did.. it was because of Mike. Happy wedding planning! Don’t think twice, Married By Mike is the easiest decision to make.”

I have been an ordained Wedding Officiant since 1989 serving Wisconsin couples. I love my job because it is the happiest job I have ever had. Love is in the air! You will be amazed at my service, guaranteed!

“We hired Nicholas Flessas as our officiant about a year before our wedding, and he stayed in touch with us throughout the entire planning process with regular check-ins that made us feel supported. On our wedding day, when drizzle started during our outdoor ceremony, Nicholas quickly took charge and guided our guests to a sheltered indoor area so everyone stayed comfortable until the weather cleared. His professionalism and quick thinking made the whole situation feel seamless, and our guests didn't miss a beat. Nicholas delivered our ceremony with the perfect mix of warmth and humor, keeping things personal while staying articulate and composed. His fees were reasonable and transparent, which we really appreciated. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us celebrate our marriage.”

We'd recommend Christian Officiants to any couple looking for someone who takes their job seriously and cares about making your day special.”

“Christine The Officiant is a true professional throughout the entire wedding experience. Her communication style is clear, supportive, and assertive, ensuring that all details were addressed and the ceremony ran smoothly. The quality of her work was exceptional, and her high-end service truly contributed to making our special day even more memorable. For instance, Christine always makes sure to stay in close contact with the couple, and helped coordinate with all the vendors involved in the elopement. On a rainy day, I witnessed her quickly orchestrate umbrellas for the bridal party so the bride and her motherwouldn't get wet. Christine really does go above and beyond to make couples' wedding dreams come true, even if it means dressing up in costume or going out of her way. I highly recommend Christine The Officiant to any couple looking for a professional, supportive, and exceptional wedding officiant.”

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.
