    One of our best decisions

    Due to COVID, I had to change my wedding plans three times. We went from June in Madison to September in Madison and ended with September in IL. It was very stressful trying to change everything around, but not due to Chris. He was booked to be our DJ (going to get married in a church), but we couldn't get married in a church and Chris was more than happy to be our officiant. At first, we thought it might be weird to have the same officiant and DJ, but it was the complete opposite. He made me and my husband feel comfortable and guided us when we didn't know what to do. Both of us haven't been to any weddings and didn't know what happened when, and Chris made sure to let us know what was coming next (intros, first dance, mother son dance). One of our guests asked me where we got the officiant/DJ/everything guy? She believed we got really lucky because he was a funny officiant and an awesome DJ. I will also say I was impressed with the playlist because I felt like he knew exactly when he needed to change the genre of music. My family is Mexican and my husband is white, so the music was VERY different. Can't recommend him enough!

    Everything was wonderful!

    Everything was perfect. We hired Chris as our officiant and dj. We had attended a wedding where he dj'd and everyone was on the dance floor the whole time. That's what we wanted. We found out that he also officiates weddings, and that's where we were hooked. One vendor for two services, yes please!! Planning was easy with Chris, and day-of was an absolute blast! He made the message to us in our ceremony all about us, and it was a beautiful surprise. We loved it and got so many compliments on the ceremony. The dance was fantastic! The dance floor was packed all night, and we couldn't be happier! We loved Chris, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dj and/or officiant.

    You Had Me At I Do DJ's reply:

    Thank you so much, Morgan! Yours was one of my favorite weddings ever! So much fun! The two of you make a great couple and your friends and family are pretty incredible. And let's face it...any wedding where we can do a real-life version of the Village People is, by default, awesome! Congratulations again!

    Professional, Customized, Classic Ceremony

    Dave was the officiant for our June wedding. He was an absolute professional and we received so many compliments on the ceremony and the delivery of the sermon. We were able to customize the ceremony yo be exactly what we wanted. Dave was easy to contact and responded quickly to all questions we had. He was prompt for both the rehearsal and wedding day. Dave was able to direct our inexperienced wedding party to make it a flawless endeavor that we will remember forever. If we had to pick another officiant, we wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

    Would Recommend

    Chris was great and easy to work with! He put together a custom ceremony for us, and we hired him as a DJ as well. The ceremony was thoughtful and funny, and he read the crowd well throughout the night- people were dancing all night long. We received a lot of compliments from guests on the ceremony, they all commented that it was heartfelt and memorable.

    He gave us a ceremony to remember, and the party vibe we wanted the rest of the day.

    His planning tools were great as well, we could easily pick & assign songs for everything across the day & choose what things we wanted to happen during the reception.

    You Had Me At I Do DJ's reply:

    Thank you so much, Cindy! The two of you (and your guests) made my job easy. The personalized Message to the Bride and Groom during your ceremony was a ton of fun to write - I'm so glad Iwas able

    Would hire again in a heartbeat

    Chris was amazing and helped out reception to keep running smoothly. My husband and I had many songs on the list of must plays (we like music a little too much :D). He worked with our odd requests for the night like my funky father-daughter dance or my father and husband showing off their dance moves. Would highly recommend!

    You Had Me At I Do DJ's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kristen! I have to say - your wedding has to be one of the top 10 that I've enjoyed. So much fun!

    Chris was awesome! He was extremely flexible in working with us, and made the party a blast. We used him both for DJ and officiant, and he was great for both. He made sure the ceremony was beautiful and touching, even when the mosquitos and a combine tried to make it less than perfect. His grace and humor were very much appreciated.

    He was also great at keeping the reception on time and moving the way we wanted it to. He had great suggestions for how to implement ideas we had, and was really wonderful to work with. I would recommend him to anyone.

    Chris was great to work with! From the moment he sent us his package info and sample ceremonies, we were hooked. We didn't plan to write our own vows since we knew we wouldn't be able to do so without choking from emotion. But after looking over the non-religious ceremony "script," we knew this was it. Chris was amazing at cutting out the parts we didn't want--we were aiming for short, sweet, but meaningful. Aside from a spider crawling on my husband's arm (I was nonchalantly trying to swat it away), he didn't cut away from the "script." He was very good at giving us instructions before, during, and after the ceremony--albeit we didn't remember most of them because of everything else going on. Nonetheless, we were extremely happy about our ceremony. Thanks, Chris!!

    Chris was a fantastic officiant. Very easy to work with and accommodating. He will cater the program to you and will offer great input if you are not sure exactly what you want. He even ran back to grab the rings when the best man and I completely forgot them in the dressing area. He made out entire ceremony run smoothly.

    You Had Me At I Do DJ's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review! I remember the ceremony well! Well, actually, I remember booking it back to the dressing area right as the ceremony was about to start...but in any case, all that matters was that the two of you had your perfect ceremony!

    You Had Me At I Do made our wedding day perfect! The officiant service was perfect, and the personalization of the ceremony was great! We had so many compliments on how our ceremony was so personal to my husband and me. It had just the right amount of fun and seriousness. The DJ services were also great! I it was the perfect mix of music for our wedding! As for the planning part of the wedding, the online site was great for requesting songs, planning the event timeline, and making sure everything is scheduled right! I had a great experience with You Had Me At I Do!

    Chris provided us with an outstanding ceremony and helped us every step of the way. Then he kept the reception going with the music that was requested and entertained everyone through the bouquet toss and garter toss. Could not of asked for a better person on our big day.
    Thank you Chris from you had me at I do.

    Chris was a wonderful choice for an officiant! He was able to provide a wedding ceremony that was exactly what I wanted, a mix of both the traditional and non-traditional! He was also very organized, helpful, and so easy to work with. He made the ceremony planning and the actual ceremony so easy so it was one less thing that I had to worry about. Overall, I am so grateful that because of him my husband and I had such a wonderful ceremony!

    We had contact You had me at I do regarding our September wedding at Miller Park. Within hours we had received a response from Reverend Chris. He supplied us with all the information we would need and an outline of possible ceremonies. After our first conversation we knew we would be asking Reverend Chris to officiate. We met with him once before the wedding as we live in Waukesha and he was located in Madison. He was very friend, professional and made us both feel very comfortable. We discussed what we wanted in our ceremony and within days he had drafted an outline and our sample ceremony. It was exactly what we had wanted. We didn't change a thing!
    Due to staffing issues Reverend Chris was unable to officiate but assured us we would be in good hands with Reverend Larry . . . He was right! Reverend Larry was wonderful!
    We had Reverend Larry officiate our wedding on a sunny day in September at Miller Park in front of all our family and friends. It was beautiful. Reverend Larry did an amazing job.
    You had me at I do went above and beyond our expectations!

    Larry was a great officiant. Cracked jokes with us at the rehearsal and before the ceremony, but clearly took his duty seriously for the actual ceremony. I liked how we could customize our ceremony to be the right level of "religiousness." He also provided the sound/music for the ceremony and I was a little worried because we hadn't talked much about what I wanted, but it went off perfectly.

    Chris was the DJ for our wedding and he was fabulous! He did a great job playing the songs that we, and our guests, requested. The dance floor wasn't empty all night, which was one of our goals for the wedding. When I was planning the wedding, he was really great at responding the same day and answering all my questions, which was very helpful. He was also the reverand for our wedding, and did a fabulous job there as well. (he owns a company called You Had Me at I Do as well, but I couldn't find it on Wedding Wire)

    Chris is amazing! We hired him as an officiant and as our DJ--he basically emceed our wedding. He is very professional, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. My background is Persian, and I wanted some Persian music during our reception. I sent him a list of songs with some directions, and he was able to find them ALL and play them just as we had discussed. He had lights for dancing and audio set up for our speeches, as well as mics and audio for my sister, who sang a song for our first dance. There were some very minor issues with static on the microphones for a bit, but it was resolved quickly. For our officiant services, we were able to customize our ceremony using pieces of his really well-written and beautiful speeches, and he offered great suggestions along the way. He is a great speaker and organizer, and we were really happy with all of it.

    We had only spoken to Chris a couple of times before the ceremony, and never actually met in person, but you would never know it to hear the ceremony he put together for us. He took the events of our lives and created a beautiful ceremony that was funny and engaging. Our friends and family even commented on how entertaining our ceremony was. My husband and I wanted something short and non religious with our own added twist, and that is exactly what we got. I couldn't have asked for a better ceremony!

    Chris was also our DJ, and he did an awesome job! The equipment was top notch and the sound was great. Because my husband and I didn't want all the traditional wedding stuff at our ceremony, Chris only charged us for party DJ service instead of a wedding reception, which saved us a lot of money.
