About

No cookie-cutter weddings!
Your wedding ceremony should be as special and unique as your relationship. Each custom-created ceremony reflects your personal values, beliefs, and personalities. In collaboration with you, I create ceremonies affirming your love, while acknowledging, honoring, and respecting different religions (or none), cultures, customs, and traditions as you wish. Specializing in interfaith, non-religious, Jewish, and same sex ceremonies, I also create contemporary and relevant interpretations for traditional rituals. Living in the greater Chicagoland area, I am willing to travel within the Midwest.

Rose was very helpful, sweet and calm. Rose was into our ideas and took our story and transformed it into greatness. I believe the audience was captivated as were we. I highly recommend Rose, shes awesome and a lovely person.

Thank you for making Saturday such a special and memorable day for us and our families and friends. The title "celebrant" is apt, because the ceremony that you created really did feel like a celebration. Our guests have had nothing but favorable responses to the ceremony, and one of our guests even said she thought the ceremony was the best she'd ever seen. We were moved by the way you shaped the details of our relationship into a compelling story, highlighted the importance of our family and friends, found the perfect mixture of serious and funny, and created a seamless flow with wonderful transitions. Truly an art form. And when we stood there in the pressure cooker in front of everyone, getting all emotional, it was a comfort to have you there with us. Thank you, Michele!

Michele was amazing. She was very organized, professional, and such a great person to work with. You can really tell she loves her job. We had an interfaith, multicultural wedding, and she was very knowledgeable about our traditions and customs, more so than we were honestly! She made sure that our ceremony included everything we wanted and reassured us through the process.

Working with Michelle was an absolute dream. We had some pretty weird extenuating circumstances for our wedding, my fiance was living in Canada and unable to attend the prep sessions with her, and we ended up getting married on the weekend of the NATO summit in Chicago so there were protesters walking through the park where we got married.

Michelle not only made us feel like what we wanted was not just valid but important and that we could make this wedding really special. I would not only recommend her to anyone who is interested in working with a celebrant, but would consider having her help us renew our vows in a few years! She's just the best!!

Michelle officiated our wedding, she was amazing! We waited kind of last minute to find someone and she responded right away and met with us within a week. She did a beautiful job on our day, exactly what I was looking for!

The date of my wedding was actually 7/20/2013. Michele was very flexible and my husband and I were able to have our wedding in our apartment. Her husband took pictures and she made a beautiful book for us which was like the story of our wedding. She also sent us all the pictures and a CD with the pictures on it as well. It was great to have Michele and her husband as part of our wedding. Shemade it extra spespecial!

Michele Rose was amazing! From day one we knew she was the one for us. Michele actually took the time to get to know us and made us feel special. She also stood her ground when it came to dealing with my parents, who wanted it THEIR way, but Michele made sure it was done OUR way since it was OUR wedding! Everything in the ceremony that she wrote was meaningful and will make for many memories to remember! Michele incorporated old traditions, new traditions, and unique moments that really touched everyone that was able to partake. Our night wouldn't have been as perfect as it was without Michele. Thank you for being part of our magical day!!

Three days before the wedding our officiant had to cancel due to being in the hospital. Talk about a panic moment! She then referred us to Michele. The good Lord must have been looking down on us that day; Michele is amazing. The ceremony was beautiful. Truly it was if she had known us for years instead of three days! We couldn't have been more pleased.

We were very lucky to meet Ms. Michele Rose. From our first encounter Michele was upbeat, full of suggestions, responsive and easy to reach. One of the most impressive characteristics of Michele Rose's planning was her dedication learn about us, including multiple meetings and having each of us, independently, complete a survey about our lives. Michele crafted a fantastic service, but then allowed us to fully edit the entire ceremony. On the day of the event, Michele was on site early, and fully prepared. Her ceremony was personal, moving and will be remembered as a highlight of our lives. We highly recommend Michele Rose and Rose Wedding Ceremonies.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
