    Truly the best!

    Jill was absolutely amazing. She took the time to get to know us on the initial call. Wrote an incredible storyline for the ceremony and made it memorable for my wife and I.

    The perfect match!

    Jill stood out to me from the very first message she sent. She was warm, knowledgable, and thoughtful. Meeting with her in person, I knew she would be the perfect officiant for us. She really takes time to get to know you as a couple, and captured our love story so well. I can't recommend Jill enough!

    Wonderful personalized wedding ceremony

    Jill was an absolutely wonderful officiant. She created a beautiful, heartfelt, and personalized wedding ceremony that we will remember forever. We wanted to include cultural elements from our Irish and Polish backgrounds, and she was was able to find a touching poem and performed an Irish handfasting ceremony. All of our guests commented on how personal and well executed the ceremony was, and it was clear that she really took the time to get to know us and capture our personalities / relationship dynamic. I would highly recommend Jill if you are looking for a personalized ceremony that is modern, refined, and dignified. I will remember it forever!

    Chicago Choice Ceremonies by Jill Brown's reply:

    Tricia, you and Charlie were delightful to work with on your ceremony. It's been a minute since a couple was interested in honoring their heritages with symbolism. You made my work so easy and so much fun! My fondest wishes for you two as you travel the journey of life and marriage together! Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your great wedding team! Jill

“I viewed her website and she seems like the perfect fit” “Everything looks great, we’d love to talk with her” and “The ceremony was beautiful.” These are just a few comments received from the couple, their parents and guests. When my client learned their officiant was unable to marry them (about 2 weeks before wedding day), I was tasked with finding not just any available officiant but the ‘right’ officiant. Jill immediately came to mind and she was happy to work with us within such a short timeframe. She produced a ceremony plan quickly and everything ran smoothly. From my first contact to the ceremony rehearsal and through to the end of the ceremony, Jill is personable and professional. It is with pleasure that I recommend her services.
