About

On WeddingWire since 2021

Love is Love. Your wedding is the most important day of your life. It is a celebration of where you’ve been and a commitment to where you will go together. Shared with all who are dear to you, it is a day of excitement, anticipation and more than a little nervousness.

I am here to alleviate that nervousness. Through a process of careful planning, your ceremony will honor exactly who both of you are and your wedding will be everything that you are hoping for.

A little about me … I am ordained and have served as a chaplain and pastor to five congregations, I received my Master of Divinity Degree from Garret Evangelical Theological Seminary on Northwestern’s campus in Evanston Il and my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois in Champaign. Over the years I have celebrated over 100 weddings for couples from various faith traditions in a wide variety of settings. My husband has been my soulmate for 15 years.

I would love to have the chance to honor and celebrate your special day with you. Please contact me to set up a free consultation.

Rev. Steven Reid.

We LOVED working with Steve!

Steve was incredible to work with! He met my husband and me twice before our rehearsal, and Steve was an attentive listener and very organized. He walked us through thoughtful questions to learn more about our goals for our ceremony, elements we wanted to include or avoid, and learned about us as a couple. He was very open about his process & addressed every question I had. We got to review a full script of the ceremony with plenty of time to review & make changes, and Steve was open to all of the edits we requested.

The resulting ceremony felt more special & personal than I realized was possible. Many of our guests asked how we met Steve, and said it seemed like we knew each other long before the wedding. He made my husband and I feel SO comfortable, heard, and the ceremony was personal & emotional (in the best way!).

If you get the opportunity to work with Steve you'll quickly see that he is professional, mindful, organized, and will help craft a special ceremony that reflects your journey as a couple. My husband & I cannot recommend him enough!!!

Would recommend for any marriage elopement/ceremony!

Steve made our micro wedding/elopement ceremony absolutely wonderful! We met virtually as we live out of town, and Steve explained the process to us and sent us all the information about his services in a timely manner. Steve’s script is unique, inclusive, and heart-felt and we couldn’t have loved it more! As people who are not great with public speaking, Steve made us feel so comfortable when reciting the vows and ring exchange. Plus, Steve handles all of the after ceremony paperwork which is SO helpful! Highly recommend Steve’s services!

Steve was AMAZING for our wedding. Would definitely recommend him!

Steve worked closely with us to make sure we got the ceremony of our dreams. He was very responsive, and made sure to give us all the information we needed. He came to our home with a template ceremony and talked with us about how to make it personalized to us. He watched our body language, listened to us talk to each other, and asked us to answer questions about our love story so he could write a personable ceremony that was unique to our relationship. He was always timely, dressed professionally, and ran the rehearsal for us. We absolutely loved working with him and recommend him to everyone!
