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!!!

Great experience!

Working with Rev. Steve was easy, and we enjoyed working with him. We started with a Zoom meeting before we made the decision, and Rev. Steve was clearly more professional than other officiants we reached out to. We had an in-person planning meeting for him to get to know us and go through the script and options. I had little experience in doing this, but Rev. Steve was flexible and kind and directed the group very well during rehearsal. On the wedding day, Rev. Steve demonstrated leadership when he coordinated with us before the ceremony started as we didn’t have a day-of coordinator. I would definitely recommend him!
