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.

Reviews of Rose Wedding Ceremonies

Phillip and I met Michele Rose through the Stan Mansion where we had our wedding ceremony. On Valentines Day the Stan Mansion offers a pre-fixed wedding ceremony package that includes many items including a celebrant/officiant to lead the wedding ceremony. Not knowing Michele Rose personally Phillip and I were a little concerned as to how we would build an intimate and personal ceremony. We contacted Michele Rose and within a week of our initial email had an appointment set to meet with her at Panera. Immediatley I felt a connection between Phillip and I and Michele Rose. She is a very open minded, caring woman who truly listens from her heart. I could tell also that while speaking with Philip and I she was studying us and soaking up our energy as a couple. By the end of our time together, 2 hours, we had an outline of what we wanted to do for our ceremony and Michele Rose put to rest any concerns we had about a stranger marrying us. The day of the ceremony it was comforting to see Michele Rose there, her husband Burt was with her taking photos and they are a truly calming and welcomed presence. They blended right in with our families and friends and joined in our celebration. Having started at "0" with Michele Rose we ended at "100". Phillip and I couldn't be happier with how our ceremony went and have received so many compliments from friends and family who attended;specifically on the ceremony porition and how reflective it was of Phillip and I- all this from a woman we barely knew. It clearly speaks to Michele Roses' passion for her work, her committment to the couples she serves and her earnest effort to connect with you during this most unique time of your life. I assure you if you decide to work with Michele Rose you will walk away from your wedding day as touched by her words and ceremonial crafsmenship as Phillip and I were.

Jacky and Me just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your husband so very much for such a beautiful wedding ceremony. Everybody was so delighted and impressed in how well and beautifully you conducted our ceremony. With all the different rituals that we did and the different readings that you gave during the whole ceremony, you made a great impression and left a great remark in everybody's mind that evening. I know that as the years pass by, people will still remember and tell " What a beautiful ceremony Jacky and Edward had when they got married" and is all thanks to you Michele.
" We and all of our guest and family just loved it."
