This officiant was a wonderful speaker during the ceremony. He brought something special to the day. I had so many people approach me and tell me how great the service was and how nice the officiant was. He was on time and made sure everyone was doing well and ready for such a big day. I could not have asked for anyone better. I would have no problem refering him to anyone.

We loved having Rev. Barry be the officiant at our wedding! He met with us a few months before the wedding and then was available by phone or email after that. I found that he replied to emails within 24 hours and even sent us tons of samples vows, readings, etc. to choose from - we even created some of our own. He was very affordable and was available not only for the ceremony, but also to lead the rehersal. We would definitely recommend him to couples...he is not only affordable, sincere, and kind, he also truly wants to work with you so you can have the best ceremony possible!

Barry was the perfect officiant for our wedding. We had a very non-traditional wedding, with a mix of American and Hindu traditions, including quite a few rituals and Hindi words and Barry did a phenomenal job. The ceremony exceeded our expectations! Barry easily guided us through all of the rituals. The venue's microphone did not work properly so he turned it off and my guests said they had no trouble hearing him. Many people told us they loved our ceremony and I have no doubt a lot of that is due to Barry. We've already had two requests for his contact information and I'm happy to endorse his services.
I had no worries even before the wedding day because he worked very closely with me to understand the ceremony and pronounce all of the words. He was very enthusiastic throughout the planning process, which made us even more excited and at ease. In addition, I sent him the ceremony materials very late, yet he was extremely nice and calm the entire planning process. At first, my husband and I wanted to go with a judge so there were no religious aspects to the ceremony, but Barry was so flexible and understanding and he never pushed anything religous into the ceremony per our request. Also, his price is extremely affordable, especially with all of the time and effort he puts into the ceremony planning. I cannot imagine a better officiant!

Pastor Barry was truly wonderful! He made our wedding absolutely perfect. Pastor Barry is extremely responsive, very organized and put us at ease during the rehearsal and ceremony. Our ceremony was just perfect – more than words can say. We received so many compliments on Pastor Barry from our guests, even weeks after the wedding we’re still hearing so many nice things. I honestly couldn't have imagined a more perfect officient.

My wedding day was perfect! Pastor Barry did a wonderful job helping me organize the ceremony. He offered many different selections for vows and allowed to service to be customized EXACTLY how we wanted. You can tell that he really cared, by offering advice and help, even before we hired him. When I look at the pictures from my wedding, he is smiling in every single one of them and you can tell that he really enjoys his work. I would highly recommend Pastor Barry!

Pastor Barry was great and very professional. We arranged a time to meet with him in person and we hired him on the spot to officiate our wedding. He was just warm and friendly and we felt immediately comfortable. He even had a wedding to officiant the day before our wedding so we worked with him and found a time where he could still make it to the rehearsal without having to rush to get to the wedding he had to be at. Everything worked out great...now all we need to do is get a copy of our marriage certificate!

Barry was wonderful to work with! He provided so much information and helped me plan the perfect wedding ceremony that fit the taste of me and my husband. He was really easy to work with and always responded to my questions quickly and helped put the busy bride at ease during the entire planning process. He was one of the few vendors that I worked with that I didn't feel the need to confirm or check up on to make sure they were still coming. He was professional, helpful and extremely nice throughout the entire process. His ceremony was perfect and his positive attitude and enjoyment helped set the stage for a perfect wedding day! I would highly recommend Barry to anyone looking for an officiant. He was a real pleasure to work with!

Initially when searching for an officiant, my husband and I looked at alot of websites and emailed with quite a few potential officiants. Barry was the only officiant who took the time to call us directly and hear straight from us what we were looking for. In talking with him that first time, Barry offered to set up a free in-person consultation with us. He drove over 90 minutes early on a Saturday morning in a blizzard to meet with us at a Starbucks! He was so accomodating and attentive to what we wanted to happen in our ceremony. While my husband and I had ideas of what we wanted to happen in the ceremony, those ideas were always changing. Barry was very open throughout the entire process as my husband I shifted ideas quite a few times. On the evening of our rehearsal, Barry was very friendly and enjoyable to be around. Both our families found him to be a pleasure, and the actual wedding ceremony worked out beautifully!

I found Pastor Barry online through a recommendation from another officiant who was not available for my date. My ceremony was not religious and Pastor Barry did a great job of accommodating this request. He was very professional and corresponded promptly with me via e-mail/phone. He provided a large list of poems/benedictions/vows and ideas for the actual ceremony (much better than I could have come up with on my own). He arrived for the ceremony and delivered the documents to the court house on time. I have no complaints. The fee was on the high end, but similar to other quotes I received in the Chicagoland area.
