She really takes the time to get to know you and your future spouse so her ceremony is written personalized and perfect. She took into account our venue and made beautiful similarities between love and nature which was perfect for us. Her ceremony was sincere and put tears in both of our eyes. She as also brief and not "too wordy" which was perfect. We got so many compliments on her and we would recommend her to anyone, no matter if you want something nondenominational, or perhaps more religious. She will make your ceremony personalized and perfect. She is extremely prompt and responsive to emails and questions. She also promptly filed for our marriage license with the county and we got our copy in the mail very quickly. She also does wedding day-of coordinating and will do rehearsals, however we didn't need these services. Although we know she would have been great!

Terry is great!!! Our wedding was downtown on June 23rd. Terry was wonderful. From the…read morebeginning, he was very easy to work with. I even had to cancel a meeting at the last minute, and he was still understanding. He met with us twice before the wedding and was in contact with us via email. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted- meaningful, lighthearted, and enjoyable. Terry was a complete perfessional and made us both feel comfortable with our ceremony. He also coordinated our rehearsal and explained the ceremony to our wedding party (entrances, where to stand, etc.). I was a little concerned about finding an officiant on the internet, but Terry was great. Her personalized our ceremony to our needs and our relationship. People were shocked when I told him that we found Terry on the internet. My husband and I are both very happy that we found him and highly recommend Terry as an officiant!

We found him less than a month before the wedding so it was quite short notice but he spent the time to get to know us, offered lots of choices with personalising a 20 minute ceremony and we felt like he listened to what we wanted rather than going with a standard format. He arrived an hour before the ceremony and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. He is very laid back which really helps during the stressful period of planning a wedding. I would recommend him to any of my friends!

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. Phil was a great and lucky find. My husband and I don't really have the same spiritual views…read moreand we almost went with a friend officiating the wedding. When I changed my mind and decided I didn't want to leave God out of our wedding, I said that I would pay for and find the officiant. I admit I didn't shop around. My wedding planning approach was one and done. Once I found something I liked, I was done "shopping." I liked that Rev. Phil offered a free intro session before committing to his services. After the first one hour meeting, my husband also liked him and we were sold. We did the full package and I'd recommend it. The love story was definitely the best part of the service. It's true what the other reviewers said, people talked about that love story for weeks and months after the wedding. We were willing to make fun of ourselves and this really helped carry-off the fun of the story. Rev. Phil has a great knack for telling a story. Everyone was laughing, including us. So many of our pictures show me looking around to the crowd laughing at my ridiculous self and trying to make eye contact with someone mentioned in the story. We were also able to incorporate a touching candle-lighting memorial for my husband's deceased parents, as well as readings that were a mix of religious and secular. Rev. Phil is very detail-oriented and will give you explicit instructions and details about each part of the service. I found this helpful, as I didn't want to worry about all the details myself. As he says, he's the professional and will take the stress of this part of the wedding off of you. As a bonus, I heard he even "fooled" by super-Catholic mom by wearing his collar. No grief for no Catholic wedding! Rev. Phil really helped make our wedding a perfect, unique and special night! I'd recommend him to anyone!

He wrote a beautiful script for our wedding as well. Our ceremony was outside in a tent in 93* heat, so we appreciate how smoothly and quickly he had the ceremony go so our guests could get back inside. We had him come to rehearsal as well which I think was good for our parents to see how the day was going to go. Reverend David sent us a copy of our marriage certificate within two days of our ceremony, so hopefully we will get our license quickly. Thank you for being a part of our day!

Myself and the new bride reached out to Christine, and from the beginning she was absolutely great…read more We had quite a few setbacks in our wedding planner and it seemed that everything that could go wrong did. Christine, assured us that everything would work out and had such a message she gave us, that made us feel at ease. From the beginning she walked us through the process with the county and how to properly to do our license and what was needed. We were lost as our photographer cancelled on us at the last minute and the misses was quite upset as now we did not have a photographer and Christine stepped in and gave us a recommendation that far exceeding our expectations. Even at the last minute booking we were never rushed, we were provided several options for the ceremony and each one was remarkable, it was hard to choose. So we took different options and sent them to her, and let me say it was allot of changes and there was no hesitation as she delivered examples each time, even with a couple last minute changes, I was expecting a different reaction, but we were wrong and she delivered with such grace and patience, I sure would not have had. The day finally came and I met her first, of course the bride was running a bit late, mind you it was 25 degrees out and we were having an outdoor wedding. She came and talked to me and we walked where the ceremony was going to be. It was time, and as my wife was walking down the aisle, she made sure I did not peak bit was telling me how beautiful my bride looked and as a guy you know I wanted to see, but she with military style kept me focused. The time has come, and even with a fur coat, it was really really cold. The ceremony, we never imagined the message that was delivered would ever be that emotional and with love in the message but the love in her voice as she delivered dour ceremony. Not only did we feel it, our guests felt it as she just didn't read through the service, you could feel that it was a true feeling in her voice that was amazing. The only thing I regret, was not getting hand warmers for us, as seriously it was cold but a beat was never missed. Christine, thank you for being a part of our ceremony, thank you for uniting us as one, you will always be part of our family. There are far and few true sincere people that not only believe in their work and take so much joy in what they do. The calling you have is an inspiration to us all. Thank You so much!!!!!
