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.

My husband and I both agreed we wanted a wedding ceremony about us and love - not religion. Therefore, we turned to searching for a wedding celebrant. I'm SO lucky that I found Michele. I found her through Wedding Wire and really appreciated how informative her website was. If any other celebrant didn't have a website, I moved onto the next.

Michele is just so warm and inviting, she makes you incredibly comfortable with her. I chose my vendors primarily by gut instinct, and right away I clicked with Michele. And so did my husband. She's open to any ideas you have for your ceremony and really wants to make your wedding all.about.you. The survey she gives you to fill out is incredible, and it's what you make of it. My husband and I both filled it out pretty extensively and what we got was the most original, unique, personal, and beautiful ceremony our guests (and us!) had ever witnessed. I can't remember attending a wedding where people talked about how great the ceremony was as much as our guests did at ours.

Michele will not only officiate your wedding, she'll be your friend. She genuinely cares about her couples and loves what she does. I'm quite the worrier, and Michele put my worries aside. She sends you so much information for ideas, and she'll send you a copy of the ceremony weeks before for you to edit if you see fit. I loved that I knew what she was going to say. And come the day of, I felt very comforted with her there to guide us through our vows.

We will always hold Michele near and dear to our hearts. She illustrated our love so eloquently, and gave us the most touching ceremony imaginable, capturing our love story and personalities to a tee. It made us fall in love all over again and again during the planning process. Thank you for taking so much time in planning our ceremony Michele, you truly are a gem and we're so lucky we found you!

Michele was great to work with. From the moment we first met her, she felt like family. We needed an officiant who performs interfaith ceremonies and Michele was just that person. She sent us a questionairre that each of us had to fill out and send back to her. She then wrote our whole ceremony personalized to what our responses were. It was amazing. We loved every bit of it and the guests did too!

Michele's interest in becoming an integral part of our wedding ceremony was an important part of choosing her. She made us feel like she understood what we wanted right away, and guided us throughout the writing of our ceremony to develop that idea. She provided great feedback through the process and allowed us to impart ourselves into the ceremony. My wife and I recommend her to serve you as a celebrant.
