Gust was utterly magnificent. He brought gravitas, dignity, eloquence and beauty to our ceremony. He made all of our friends-- from out of state, out of the country, nearby neighbors, colleagues, childhood friends, close friends, EVERYONE-- feel involved in our love story. We received so many lovely compliments on Gust's service. He was so heartfelt in sharing our story, and was entirely open to our changes and requests. I haven't a single complaint or critique for Gust or ForeverTwogether....he was the consummate professional, whose presence made our ceremony top-notch. Highly recommend, a million times over.

We had a great experience with Gust from Forevertwogether as the officiant for our wedding! Gust was recommended to us by the coordinator at our venue. After looking over his reviews, we contacted Gust who very promptly set up a time for us to have a conversation over the phone. After speaking with Gust, we decided right away that he was the perfect fit for our wedding! Over the course of the next year, we exchanged many emails with Gust. He was very flexible while planning out our wedding script. He let my husband and I have full control of how we wanted our ceremony to flow (the length, how religious we would like it to be, any readings to be included, etc). He also sent multiple drafts for us to approve prior to our wedding day. During our rehearsal and wedding day, Gust was extremely professional, caring, and personal. Our friends and family loved the ceremony and the meaningful way he told our love story. Gust also took care of everything with our marriage license following the ceremony. We would highly recommend Gust to any couple looking for an outstanding officiant for their Chicago or West Michigan wedding!
