My husband and I didn't know where to start when it came to planning the ceremony, but Reverend Tom was so kind and patient and walked us through the whole process with meaningful advice. When it came to the big day I can't imagine a better ceremony. His speech was witty, and wise, and perfectly captured our feelings for one another. Reverend Tom is such a genuine, loving person and truly made the whole experience so meaningful.

We just had our wedding on 6/22/18 at Lincoln Park Salvatore. Rev Tom was wonderful. Prior to the…read morewedding, we touched base over the phone to set expectations and what we needed to do (we didn't do a rehearsal as we want to keep everything fresh). Rev Tom gave us clear instructions/guidance. On the wedding day, Rev Tom tells a good story of the 3 things we liked each other and the way he tells it is interesting and the ceremony was just beautiful. Love is in the air, the whole atmosphere were just beautiful. The way Rev Tom carried our ceremony was impeccable. I would recommend anyone to use Rev Tom as an officiant! Thank you Rev Tom!

We had Rev. Jim officiate our wedding on 12/17 at Hotel Arista in Naperville. From the first…read moremeeting, Rev. Jim was wonderful to work with. He really took the time to get to know us as both individuals and as a couple. The ceremony he put together was perfect. it was so personal, funny, and heart-warming. All of our family and guests couldn't stop talking about how great Rev. Jim was Over a month later and people are still talking about Rev. Jim and the ceremony! He truly made it memorable. I highly recommend Rev. Jim to anyone getting married. Not convinced? Think about it, the one thing that is an absolute necessity for a wedding is an officiant to marry you. You don't necessarily need the flowers, fancy dinner, music, or all the extras, but you do need an officiant! Therefore, it is the most important part of the wedding. Hire the best. Hire Rev. Jim!!!

Wow. All I have to say is W O W. I read Jim's ad in a thousand different places, and the place…read morewhere I held my wedding actually recommended him to me. I called him, and it took around 3 weeks for him to return my call, and another 4 weeks to get an appointment! I took the appointment, and decided to look elsewhere in the meantime. I did end up finding another person to perform our ceremony, so I called the rev as soon as I knew this. I figured it was ample notice, and that I was not being rude as our appointment was still 3 weeks away. I tried to talk to him in person several times, but kept getting the machine, so I left a message stating; "We have decided to cancel our appointment with you, as we have found someone else to perform the wedding. Thanks, and we will call you if we need you in the future." The rev was not happy--I received SEVERAL phone calls from him at my JOB! He actually took down the number on the caller ID from my initial call, and called my receptionist to the point where she actually said, "Who the heck is this guy?" I had asked him to contact me on my cell phone, and gave him the number back when we were thinking of hiring him. Things got more strange as time went on. He called me from a strange number, so I answered. He asked if we were still getting marred on x date, and if we needed him! I told him NO, and thank you. He actually called my wedding venue and told them that I was CANCELING THE WEDDING COMPLETELY. You can imagine the insane phone call that I got from my wedding venue..........................................

Rev. Denise was the easiest, no-fuss wedding vendor we dealt with. She was referred to us by a…read morefriend who attended a wedding she officiated. My then-fiancé contacted her via email rather late notice (1 month prior), set up an appointment to meet her at home, we met with her and chose the "parts" to the ceremony (we mixed and matched a handful of commonly said things she already had), gave her a cash deposit on the spot, and were out of there in an hour! A day or two later, she emailed us the entire ceremony that we had discussed in her home, allowed us to make some changes via email, and that was it. We didn't hear or see her again until an hour before the actual ceremony. She made sure to find us at our venue, gave us a couple pointers, and told us to relax and that she would be giving us cues, which she did very subtly and professionally. Even one of our groomsmen asked us later, "Where did you find her? She was on top of things!" For those of you looking for someone to guide you through every detail, she might not be the one for you. She's rather hands off, but she is pretty responsive via email. Like other officiants, she will charge extra if you want her to attend your rehearsal, so we orchestrated the rehearsal ourselves. She is also really a good soul. Although she has a church background, she is very open and accepting of all humankind. We were not picky about our ceremony - just that it be non denominational and short! But in hindsight, I'm glad we chose someone with such poise and experience! Working with her was truly effortless and inexpensive! I highly recommend Rev. Denise!

Again, I stress that this review does not have anything to do with Reverend Denise Tracy's actual officiating services (we didn't get that far), only to the service we received while we were doing our own research.

BEST DAY EVER!!!

If you want someone you can trust, someone who is punctual, flexible and genuine, then Graceful Day Officiant is for you! You can really tell when someone is passionate about their profession. And on the most important day of your life, you want someone who can bring out all those feelings and tell a sweet and well-crafted love story. Dave was truly amazing. He was super fun to work with and we are so happy to have shared such a special day with him. He made the whole process really fun. If you have ideas, he's there to listen and guide you. If you want more traditional, he's got you. If you want to hear the story of the beginning of how it all started with you and your hunny, that's the magic right there! My husband and I chose the love story option and I tell you what, it's just so much more special to hear your closest friends and family's perspective and of course your hunny's, right in that moment, in front of everyone during your ceremony. Hearing our love story told like that and hearing it for the first time with all our guests, it was just so magical. We both loved working with Dave and are so grateful to have someone as amazing as him craft our story on the best day of our lives and catapult us into the excitement and joy together as husband and wife. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
