About

About Me:

In 2012 I was asked by close friends of mine to officiate their wedding ceremony. Now as I begin my 13th season in practice, I never could have imagined meeting all the great couples that I have happily joined in marriage.

I believe that a wedding ceremony should encompass the qualities of the relationship that my couples have spent their time building together. That’s why I provide special attention and care into crafting unique ceremonies that truly represent you.

I tell love stories, I share hopes and dreams for the future and I do this because you are the most important part of your wedding ceremony. I accommodate all faiths, religions and I proudly support the LGTBQ community.

I look forward to hearing from you and am excited to help you complete your journey to your happily married ever-after!

Please contact me at brad@idoofficiant.com or find me on Facebook for more information.

We would recommend Brad to anyone!! We Felt so comfortable with him right off the bat, agreeing to meet at a local bar and discuss our story over a few drinks. We left feeling like we had known him forever and our faces hurt from laughing so much. He made sure every detail of our ceremony was just as we wanted it. We received so many compliments from guests saying how unique and special our ceremony was. Brad is hands down the BEST!

Excellent Services

Brad was absolutely amazing to work! He communicated every step of the process with us, and also took the time to get to know us on a personal level in order to provide a truly personalized ceremony. He even was able to adapt very well to our last minute changes we made just an hour before the ceremony. Cannot recommend enough!

Our personalized story was amazing!

Not everyone who attends a wedding truly knows how a couple came together. Fortunately with Brad Schnell, rest assured, your family and friends will walk away with a story for the ages! The ceremony that Brad wrote and delivered for us was heartfelt, inspirational, and entertaining. He created an incredible balance between tearful moments to laugh-out-loud points of levity. It’s important to highlight the fact that pulling off a powerful message did not just happen overnight. The amount of time and energy he puts into the ceremony is truly incredible. Bottom line, Brad cares about the customer. He’s an excellent listener who does his best to understand how a couple met and why they want to spend the rest of their life together. He then gets to work on perfecting the perfect story and obtain feedback along the way. Then it all leads up to the BIG DAY where Brad really shines. In our case, we made our ceremony memorable and special. Overall, we enjoyed his process, professionalism, and passion to deliver the absolute best ceremony possible. If you’re looking for an officiant, we highly recommend Brad Schnell from I do.

Hired an Officiant, but gained a friend!

Seriously, I can't explain how amazing Brad is! We had so many people compliment us on our Officiant. He really takes the time to get to know you, and customizes your service to be personal (instead of a stock script like others use). He was so flexible when covid threw a wrench in our plans. I would 100% recommend him to every person planning their dream wedding. We hired an Officiant, but gained a friend. Love everything about him.

Couldn't have asked for more!!

We interviewed a few officiants but after talking to Brad we knew that he was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. We also didn't meet him until about 3 months or so before our wedding. He was on top of everything even with the short notice. He really took the time to get to know us and our story. He asked us why we wanted to get married and why now and it really made us think about the true meaning of being in a marriage. 3 years later and Brad is still part of our lives If your looking for someone who cares and is passionate about what they do Brad is the officiant for you.

Officiant Review

Brad did a fantastic job as our officiant! We were planning a destination wedding and he made the virtual process seamless. He is very professional, flexible and responsive. Highly recommend.

Our entire experience with "I Do" was flawless from start to finish. My husband and I live out of state and first met Brad over Skype - even through computers, we had an instant connection. Brad has truly taken officiating and made it into an art. His ability to "click" with each individual, understand the couple's complex chemistry, incorporate varying spiritual beliefs, involve loved ones and create a masterpiece to be cherished forever is remarkable. Our ceremony was perfectly us and there is nothing more that a bride and groom can ask for than that. We could not recommend him anymore - the process was special, enjoyable, fun, stress-free and everything we could have dreamed of.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We've worked with Brad from I Do and have seen him take the best care of our clients. The details, personalization, emotion he brings into a couples wedding ceremony is amazing. He truly gets to know the couples he works with. In this day in age more and more couples are getting away from traditional church ceremonies. Brad with I Do is the perfect solution for your customized, romantic, light-hearted ceremony. Great work I Do and keep up the great work!
