Eric was wonderful. My husband and I and all of our guests loved Eric and the ceremony. I highly recommend Eric.

We were so blessed to meet Eric Lerew and to have him officiate our wedding. He helped my wife Ashley and I grow in our faith together and for that we are forever grateful. Eric listened to us when we had ideas of how we wanted certain things to go, and provide extremely valuable insight based on his wealth of experience. If anyone came to me and asked who I'd recommend to officiate their wedding Eric's name would probably come out of my mouth before they finished the question. He's the best at what he does, and Ashley and I hope to remain close friends with him now that we're happily married!

Eric Lerew performed as officiant for my daughter’s wedding ceremony. The bride and groom were undecided about many aspects of the ceremony, but Eric worked with them very patiently. The wedding ceremony was very much a reflection of their personalities. We received many compliments from friends and family. Thank you, Eric, for a lovely ceremony that was unique to the bride and groom!

Eric married my husband and I two years ago. My husband is not the most religious person but I wanted a Christian wedding, Eric helped us find a happy medium that satisfied us both. Our ceremony was incredibly special (as you'd expect since it was a wedding after all) but also light hearted and enjoyable which I absolutely attribute to Eric. I’ve had a number of people tell me how great the ceremony was – and let’s be honest, that’s usually the last thing people remark about to the bride or groom. Eric really did a phenomenal job and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. I’m honored that he was a part of the most important day of my life.

Eric was a truly wonderful officiant. He really got to know my husband and I and created a wedding service that captured our relationship perfectly. He really listened and was able to make the ceremony extremely personal, and engaging. Many family commented on how special and unique it was. He was very flexible and responsive with scheduling. He is a genuinely nice and caring person and you can tell how much he enjoys his work. Also my husband and I were on a very tight budget and he was really willing to work with us. I highly recommend Eric and anyone would be lucky to have him officiate your wedding!

When my husband and I decided to get married we belonged to a large church in Greyslake. When we contacted them to schedule a pastor to marry us, they refused due to the fact that it was on July 4th. This date held a special meaning for us, so we were really disappointed. We searched and searched for someone to help us, and we were close to having to pick a different date when I found Eric online. He was flexible, eager to help us and had some great suggestions, to help make our ceremony unique and very special for us. Plus it was an added bonus that when we met for the first time, we discovered that he officiated the wedding of some friends of ours, and it was one of the most beautiful, romantic ceremonies I have yet to experience! This summer he married another friend of mine, and it was another slam-dunk! If you're looking for a pastor, I couldn't recommend a better person than Eric!

My husband and I got married in 2007 and Eric Lerew officiated it. I can't say enough about how great he was as an officiant. He really did taylor the ceremony to our tastes and everything was absolutely wonderful! I actually thought the reception was going to be the best part of our wedding, but I can honestly say the ceremony trumped the reception because of him. He was efficient, kind, and really did listen to our thoughts and ideas about our special day. I've recommended him many times over and would a thousand times again to anyone looking for an officiant. Thanks again, Eric!

My husband and I are not affiliated with any church and began our online pastor search, we could not have been happier to have Eric officiate our wedding. Eric made us feel so at ease the couple times we met with him, we felt like he was our friend. He made an effort to really get to know us and tailored the ceremony to our personality. Before meeting Eric I wasn't excited for our ceremony, I thought "let's get this show on the road and get to the party". Eric changed that, after the first meeting I was pumped for the ceremony. The ceremony went off without a hitch, guests actually commented on what a unique ceremony we had and how much they enjoyed it. Eric gave us a memorable ceremony that showed who we are as a couple and made it intimate with a great message for us to begin our life together.

We wanted an outdoor ceremony for our wedding, so that meant we couldn't use a Catholic priest. Luckily, we came across Pastor Eric Lerew online. We met with him in person for an interview and both just loved him! He's very personable, open and extremely easy to talk to. My husband and I aren't very religious, but we have faith, and he didn't judge us for that. Instead, he let us determine exactly how "religious" we wanted it to be. He put us both at ease during the ceremony and made our wedding just perfect. We got TONS of compliments about him afterward! Everyone wanted to know where we found him!
