    Hiring Rebecca was our best decision.

    Rebecca is phenomenal. We worked with her for 1.5 years and found that she went above and beyond our expectations every step of the way. On the wedding day, we truly had no worries because we knew that not only is Rebecca capable, but that she had our back and would take care of anything. Any wedding or couple would be lucky to have her on their team.

    I Would Give SPW 10 Stars If I Could

    My husband & I had a world-class experience working alongside Rebecca & her SPW team. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable of the industry, they offer a very in-depth approach to the world of weddings that makes any couple feel relaxed and supported. Jump at the chance to work with SPW- they will go above and beyond to making your special day everything you want it to be!

    Thank you for your kind words, Gina! You two were a dream to work with and if we could give a "professional bride" award, it would go to you! Thank you for the honor of supporting you and your celebration.

    Solid Gold!

    We can’t say enough wonderful things about Something Profound Weddings - Rebecca brought such calm, thoughtful, and detailed energy to every step of the process and helped us create the most intimate, seamless, and joy-filled restaurant wedding in Chicago. The day flowed effortlessly thanks to Rebecca and Lizzie's incredible organization and communication. We were able to be fully present and just enjoy ourselves. Everything ran like a dream. We went with a coordination package that included unlimited planning meetings, and used these sessions to consult Rebecca and her unlimited knowledge and expertise to plan the right day for us. Invaluable stuff! Hire SPW!

    We love Rebecca

    Rebecca was an amazing officiant for our wedding! From our first meeting, she was responsive, organized, and helpful. She made us feel so comfortable and we felt like she truly got to know us as a couple. She helped us choose readings and decide on unity acts for our ceremony, which was initially overwhelming for us. Multiple guests have commented on our ceremony, describing it a "perfect" and Rebecca as "wonderful." If you are looking for an officiant, work with Rebecca.

    Thank you for your kind words! It was an honor to support you both, and I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves. Thank you for trusting us with such an important moment! Happy Marriage!
