About

About Me:

In 2012 I was asked by close friends of mine to officiate their wedding ceremony. Now as I begin my 11th 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.

I Do Officiant

Bradley is the absolute best officiant! He made our ceremony so special and memorable. We received so many compliments from family and friends saying it was the best wedding ceremony they've ever been to. We laughed, we cried, and we also felt like we made a new friend in the process!

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.

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!
