The check in for the kids is the label system where the parent has to have the matching sticker to claim children. I really like that they print a label for the diaper bag since it's not all fancy or anything. Big bright post its announce my son has a peanut allergy, and they double checked the infant snack ingredients to make sure we were ok. The service was interesting. Sorta concert like, dark with fancy lights on stage. Doesn't look churchy but that's ok. I didn't recognize any of the songs, but they were beautiful. Contemporary music with guitars, cello, violin, drums and singers. Relaxed dress code, from jeans and tees to dresses. Nothing over the top. Really enjoyed the message about Mary pouring perfume on the feet of Jesus. The bulletin did not have notes or an order of worship/ list of songs, etc, so I was a little disappointed there. Lastly there were offering envelopes but no connection cards for us to request prayer or information. Will definitely attend for another week or so!

Reverend Condon married our daughter at Randall Oaks Country Club in Dundee yesterday. He's very…read moreorganized and delivered a lively ceremony which included communion for anyone willing to receive it. It was a sacred &reverent, yet contemporary ceremony that lasted about 35 minutes start to finish. He met with the couple once then again came to the rehearsal before the actual ceremony. His price is very reasonable. His wife is so sweet too. Would definitely recommend Reverend Condon for performing a wedding ceremony.

Reverend Condon officiated my wedding…read more When we met, he seemed nice & kinda cheerful. He offered the initial meeting, a 2nd meeting, pre-cana materials, the rehearsal & wedding for $375. It all seemed very up-and-up & we agreed. I contacted him about 4 months before the wedding to ensure the rehearsal date & time would be ok. He didn't even remember or have noted whether we had met. He told us he had the wedding date, just couldn't remember whether we had an in-person consultation. Ok, whatever. Then, a couple months later when I emailed to arrange a 2nd meeting, he asked if we could skip the 2nd meeting & rather than go through the ceremony details we could just email them. This should have been a red flag, but I thought "OK, I can roll with this." Next, since I was having my brother do both readings, I asked if we could have them split up & he said no, because it makes the flow of the ceremony seem awkward. I've been to a hundred Catholic church ceremonies in which the readings were split, but deferred to his "expertise." He then tells us he won't join us for dinner after the wedding because he is an honored guest at another event. I told him no problem, because he's essentially a stranger to us. However, I think he was disappointed he had committe to the ceremony & made that pretty evident during the whole 20 minutes of his life he spared us to do the ceremony. The day of my rehearsal, we see each other for the 1st time in 9-10 months. He brought his weirdo brother-in-law (he said "brother", but I think it was an in-law). I seriously think this guy was released from prison into the rev's custody. He seems a little, well...soft & also very weird & creepy. Rev. Condon then asks how I want the procession, and I said I was thinking I'd have the bridesmaids walk alone, unless he though walking with the groomsmen was better. He said my way was fine, and then has the guys walk up each on their own & then himself (is he trying to make himself important?) & then the bridesmaids. I ask why the guys are walking up & he snaps at me "Because that's how you want it!" I said I thought the guys would be standing in the front & he kind of snorted & said "Well how do they get there?" I told my mom & brother I didn't understand why he was doing it that why he was doing it that way-it was weird to me. They told me to let him know, but after he snapped I was hesitant. My brother later went over & asked him about it & he told him "Because that's what the bride wants." The next day, I called him to discuss it before the wedding & asked if we could just have the guys socializing, & then they'll stand up front when we're ready to start the procession. I told him we'd send someone to let them know when we were ready. He seemed a little put off by my asking but said we could do whatever I wanted. I don't know what the big deal is--I've seen it done that way many times before! My brother was doing the ceremony music & the rev had brought his "brother" again. My brother told me afterwards that the brother wouldn't let him set up and practice; he kept pestering him with questions & chit chat. Then he went over to his girlfriend & said "I took a picture." She said "Of me?!" and he said "No, of your boyfriend," and showed her the pic. SO. WEIRD. During the ceremony Reverend Condon never once smiled. He seemed so nice when we met, and yet here he was actually rolling his eyes during the closing reading! Every picture is him looking bored & put out just being there. The next day both my brothers told me how as soon as he got there he began complaining to them of how I had "changed everything" and how it was "stupid." He asked them "Does she expect us to magically organize when they're ready?" My brothers, of course, said yes--how hard is it for him, a groom, & 3 groomsmen to stand in the front of a room when someone tells them it's time? It's not rocket science! But, he told them it was a "stupid idea." What a model Christian.
