What is the story behind I do.?

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.

So happy with how our ceremony went!

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Brad was so easy to work with from start to finish and truly made our ceremony feel personal and unique to our love story, which was exactly what we wanted. He did an amazing job keeping our guests engaged while making the ceremony both meaningful and memorable. We received so many compliments from our family and friends about how wonderful the ceremony was!

Brad was also incredibly receptive to any feedback or requests we had throughout the planning process. You can genuinely tell how much he cares about making sure each couple is happy and that their ceremony is everything they envisioned. We are so grateful he was part of our special day and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant!

Highly recommended!!!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Brad! Great communication, timeliness, and organization with talking us through everything we needed to do/know! We loved meeting with him in person and being able to share our story with him on a detailed level. He summarized our 2 hour conversation with him about everything, so well for the wedding ceremony! He also made sure to share the draft with us ensuring we liked it beforehand and always made room for critique and helpful feedback for us to share if we had any. We had so many compliments from our guests feeling they were in these moments with us down memory lane of what led us to the wedding day! Overall such a genuine man that just wants to provide his best work for his couples— could not recommend him more!!

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!

HIGHLY recommend

10/10
Brad was phenomenal. We received so many comments on our ceremony and how it was done. He is a well seasoned professional. He took hours to get to know my husband and I. He made sure several times that our ceremony would be exactly what we wanted it to be and customized to us. He sent drafts of the ceremony so that there would be no surprises. He puts just the right amount of humor in to help keep you relaxed. He was outstanding.

Wedding Officiant

My husband and I attending a wedding in Wisconsin that Brad officiated about a year before we got married. During the ceremony, Luke and I turned to each other and agreed that we wanted to have Brad officiate our ceremony as well! We were so thankful to learn that he would officiate a wedding in Indiana. He was so easy to work with and told our story perfectly! After our wedding, so many people reached out to us and said our ceremony was one of the best they had every attended! Having Brad officiate your wedding will be one of the best decisions you make!

Amazing Experience

Luke and I couldn’t have asked for anything more when it came to the preparation and the execution of our wedding ceremony. Luke and I knew we were in good hands and were fully prepared for our day because of Bradley. He was so easy to work with and told our story perfectly. We would highly recommend him!!

Personalized and lovely experience

Working with Brad was such a positive experience! My husband and I live overseas, but we had our wedding in Wisconsins (where I'm from). Despite our 17-hour time difference, Brad was very flexible and always able to meet with us and talk about our ceremony over video chat. He truly personalized our ceremony for us and focused on special anecdotes in our relationship - several people at our wedding commented to me that they learned even more about us as a couple because of his words.

We had a few hiccups during our ceremony (a crying nephew and a fly that was very persistent), but the whole time Brad remained focused and professional and helped us appreciate our moment. We can't recommend Brad enough!

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!
