About
Well congratulations!    You’re getting married!
Over thirty years of officiating weddings.  My joy is in helping couples celebrate that love they had found.  Your wedding ceremony is carefully prepared with input by the two of you and the many samples I provide.  This makes each ceremony unique.

Couples tell me all the time how much they appreciate my guidance, flexibility and overall upbeat personality.  In fact, most couples say that one of the most important aspects of choosing their officiant is that they feel a connection with the person who is marrying them.

I perform both religious and non-religious wedding ceremonies all over Chicago and the suburbs, and am among the most reasonably priced officiants in Chicago. 

We can meet at no cost to get acquainted, before you choose your officiant.

So have a great day and best wishes to you both!
