An amazing ceremony

I highly recommend choosing Toni Maddi as your officiant on your big day! She responded promptly to my initial inquiry and all of my questions, handled everything with professionalism, and worked with us to customize our ceremony (and she presented us with a ton of options that were incredibly inclusive as a starting point). The ceremony itself was beautifully orated and Toni made sure we had everything we needed!

Toni was a pleasure to work with! She was so professional, organized, and prepared. She helped ease our nerves the day of the wedding.

I can’t tell you how many amazing compliments we got about Toni on the day of our wedding! She is very well spoken, extremely easy to talk to, she listens, and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. She made the ceremony so memorable for us and our family and friends. We can’t thank her enough! I highly recommend her!

The day wouldn't have been the same without Toni!

We surprised our friends and family at our engagement party by getting married! Toni knew it was a surprise and was so patient with us while we waited for enough people to join the party before making the announcement. We hadn't practiced the ceremony beforehand, but Toni made everything so easy. She was personable, professional, and gentle in her directions for us. Our family can't stop talking about how great she was!

Are you interested?

Exceptional!

Our ceremony went beautifully, and any small hiccups were gracefully handled by Toni. It is easy to tell that she is an extremely talented and experienced officiant! Her calm and professional demeanor really helped set the tone - we could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. Thank you, Toni!!

Perfect Day!

After postponing our wedding day and changing our plans multiple times, we needed to hire an officiant for our intimate civil ceremony this January. With only about a month notice, we found Toni Maddi. She had phenomenal reviews and we totally understand why! We met with her for an initial video call and she was so professional and came prepared with tons of options for our ceremony. We were able to completely customize our ceremony and make it unique to us as a couple. When our wedding day came, she came early, helped instruct our bridal party in their roles, and had several helpful tips of things you would never even think of! She took our casual, slightly unorganized little day and turned it into a completely beautiful, organized, and legitimate ceremony. She went above and beyond making our day so special and even beyond what we could have imagined. Her words made everyone in the room emotional and we can't thank her enough! Even after the ceremony, she emailed with all the steps for getting our certificate and changing names, etc. We are so incredibly grateful we found her to help us with our day. We cannot recommend her enough!!

The best there is.

Toni is a wonderful officiant. She knows how to take control of the room, she knows how to make you(bride and groom) feel COMFORTABLE. We could not be happier with our experience with Toni. She really made the day better and she made the easier. We also hired her for the Rehearsal and that was worth every penny. THANK YOU TONI!

She was absolutely perfect!

When my husband and I first met with Ms. Toni, we were nervous and full of questions. Immediately upon shaking hands, there was this sense of calm about her. She was very professional, very organized, very thorough, and quite the delight to work with. Her options for our personalized ceremony far exceeded our expectations. We left our first meeting with full confidence that she was a perfect match for us. When our wedding morning came, she was early, calm, and far more prepared then anyone. She helped us through every step, every word, and we couldn’t thank her enough. Not only did we feel the love, but every guest at our ceremony felt the same and continue to compliment her.

Thank you for helping us create the perfect day we will forever cherish in our hearts Ms. Toni Maddi. You were perfect.

Elopement Wedding

My husband and I booked Rev. Toni last minute and she was super accommodating and responded quickly to every message I sent her. She took the time to help us find the perfect words and the perfect ceremony for us. She was awesome at working with last minute changes we had.

Truly a blessing.

Toni was truly a blessing to work with. We had a very small, intimate ceremony and she walked us through the whole process. She is a true professional and am grateful that we found her. I will recommend Personalized Creations by Toni Maddi to anyone. Whether the wedding is big or small, she will make sure it is what you want and she will make you feel even more special. We are very lucky to have had her officiate our ceremony.

Highly recommended!

I am so grateful that Toni was our officiant on our wedding day! Toni is incredibly personable and we immediately felt very comfortable with her. We also appreciated all her expertise and she gave great advice that really helpful with our overall wedding planning. On the wedding day itself, I was a bit overwhelmed with all the emotions of the day and Toni was an immediately steadying, positive and reassuring presence. Our ceremony was perfect and we felt it reflected who we are as a couple and our wedding guests were all very complimentary of it. I’d highly recommend Toni as a wedding officiant for her wonderful approach and personalized ceremony - I am so thankful she was part of our wedding day.

Beautiful, Straightforward Ceremony

Toni is a clearly a veteran at the top of her game. She coached us, kept us calm, and officiated over a beautiful ceremony. She has poise, confidence, and a great voice. She was very responsive throughout our communications prior to the wedding and accommodative of all the details we wanted. You can't do better--we highly recommend Toni if she if available on your date.

Holy cow this lady is incredible!

I’m not implying we the bride and groom weren’t show stopping 😆 😙 because of course we were, but Toni really captivated our audience in a way scared newly weds can’t even imagine! This lady is worth thousands more than she charges to make an appearance. Her level of grace under fire, I got this it’s cool, is next level. She is a natural born leader. I had no idea how badly I needed a minister like her until I hired her and let her work her magic, wow! Folks, not a dry eye in the house! If you choose anyone besides this lady to be your minister you’re making a mistake! Toni is top notch and so crazy good at what she does, she will make you look good, even if your terrified and didn’t rehearse a thing! This lady is like an auto-pilot for your wedding ceremony! Worth every penny! Thank you for making us look like rockstars on our special day! You are the best!

Toni Maddi was incredible to work with, both leading up to our wedding ceremony, and especially at the ceremony itself! She was so responsive, understanding and kind throughout the whole process of the initial consultation, choosing a script, making sure our vows were in order, and any extra quirks/personal touches we could have ever wanted for our ceremony. And at the actual ceremony...wow. What a perfect balance of professionalism and nurturing care. She was fantastic when it came down to getting us ready for the big moment, going over the process, and even making little suggestions on how to class things up in the eyes of friends and family (she gave me, the groom, a tissue to keep on hand in case I needed to wipe away my wife's tears of joy during the ceremony...never would have thought of this otherwise!). Toni was clear and well-spoken during her part of the ceremony and did an incredible job of leading the whole production. I couldn't believe what great hands were in. Toni, thank you so much!!! We will be reaching out to you when we need you for the next big event!

Toni was wonderful in officiating my wedding. My father in law praised and loved when she put in her own words of wisdom. Now let me tell you, my father in law is not a mushy type of person so for him to say how her words had a great affect on him really spoke volumes of her being there. I highly recommend Toni. It will surely put your mind at ease with the stress of planning a wedding having Toni there.

Toni was an excellent officiant! We're so thankful we booked her for our wedding. She was extremely professional and responsive in the time leading up to our wedding day. She made sure we felt confident and comfortable with everything regarding our ceremony. We had a lot of freedom and options in tailoring our ceremony and we never felt judged or pushed in any direction. Her goal was to make the ceremony exactly how we wanted! We definitely received that:) On our wedding day she officiated a really special ceremony and I was even more moved by our ceremony experience then I expected to be. I would highly recommend Toni to any couple and I'm confident she'll provide a special and customized experience!

She is caring and genuine and you can tell she loves what she does. Our wedding day was beautiful and we got so many compliments on our ceremony. Thank you so much Toni!!

Toni was the best! We were from out of town, so she first met with us via Skype to get to know us. We exchanged several emails, and then met in person to tailor our ceremony. She was able to help us come up with something as unique as we are. :) On the day of the ceremony, she kept everyone calm and moving along. Everything was perfect - we laughed, we cried, and we GOT MARRIED! Definitely recommend.

I cannot recommend Toni Maddi enough, she assisted me through the whole process of writing the vows to helping on my wedding day. She is very calm and listens to your needs and wants. She helped make my ceremony personal and gave me recommendations whenever I was at a standstill. She catches the attention of the audience and the guests at my wedding even said how great she was. I would highly recommend going with Toni, she is the best!

Toni Maddi did an amazing job at our wedding on June 10, 2017 at The Starline Factory. We were unable to use the venue for the rehearsal the day before, so she was able to come early to the venue that day and keep our large bridal party on their toes and walk the groom through the steps just 4 hours before the ceremony time. I was not at the rehearsal since I did not want to see the groom before the ceremony and she took the time to come find me in the bridal suite and update me and walk me through EVERYTHING. I was told that her strictness and her professional demeanor was needed at the rehearsal since a few our groomsmen and bridesmaids needed it. lol My favorite part about her services is that the bride and the groom design the entire ceremony. She provides you with several different paragraphs for an introduction, welcoming speech, unity ceremonies, etc. and you pick and chose what you want her to say during the entire ceremony so there are no surprises and there is no rambling. She made our ceremony exactly what we wanted, short and sweet and to the point. My husband and I said our own personal vows which she even held onto our vow books for us. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a non-traditional wedding ceremony. Very professional and her laughter and expressions are great in all of our photos!

We are so happy to have found Toni! She allowed us to personalize our ceremony in a way that we never thought was possible.

I had the pleasure of working with Toni for my big day. Normally people have a rehearsal dinner the night before to give a walkthrough of what will be taking place the next day. Toni let me know that wasn’t really needed since it was simple instructions, and she offered to show up early the day of to give everyone a quick rundown. This option was a lot less stressful for me, and I appreciated her offering to come early. When I showed up at the venue, Toni was already there and of course I was in the middle of my wedding day melt down. I was more or less just numb and waiting for someone to tell me what to do next. Toni got everyone in line, gave us a quick rundown and we were on our way. She was very professional and you could tell she was experienced. That is was I needed that day. Her price was very reasonable and she was always responsive throughout my year of planning. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant.

Toni responded within 24 hours of our initial contact. She followed through from our first meeting, and beyond the wedding. She provided a booklet of selections to make for our ceremony, and even had some tips on writing our vows. Before the ceremony Toni had a quick walk with us through for the ceremony. She was always smiling, helping us both (two brides) not to be too nervous, and shows such compassion for her key role in such an important event. During the ceremony Toni was so upbeat, and smiled continuously. We felt as if she had known us her entire life.
Our guests commented on what a wonderful job she did as our minister. We loved her personal talking points in the ceremony-it really touched everyone so positively.
We could not have asked for a better officiant. We highly recommend Toni for your wedding officiant.
Thank you Toni-you are the best at what you do, and the years of experience proves it!

We absolutely loved working with Toni! We were planning our wedding from out of town so our first meeting with Toni was through Skype and we instantly felt comfortable with her and knew she was the right choice for us. She worked with us to construct a personalized ceremony and gave us suggestions that we wouldn't have thought of on our own. On the day of, she walked us through all the details one final time and made us both feel very at ease. We received SO many compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was and Toni included several remarks and kind words that we didn't know about ahead of time that were such a pleasant surprise. We are so glad we got to work with Toni and would recommend her to anyone in the Chicagoland area!

We were truly blown away by how moving and beautiful our ceremony was and how incredibly well it was delivered. Toni is a true professional; she was completely in charge during all stages of planning and execution. She covered all bases and ensured every person and vendor involved in the ceremony knew exactly what was going on and what they needed to do. We loved the content she provided and how we were able to customize it exactly as we wanted. Toni was able to capture us and the feel we wanted perfectly with her personal comments as well. She was everything we could have asked for in an officiant and we had countless guests tell us it was the best officiating of any wedding they’d attended.

Toni was a great wedding officiant for our wedding day! We wanted a simple ceremony that reflected our relationship and that would really celebrate our new life together, and Toni was the perfect officiant to make our day feel special. At our initial meeting, Toni explained her process clearly and succinctly, and we knew almost immediately that we wanted to work with her. Putting together our ceremony was also very easy, with a lot of different options, so everything was unique to our style. Toni gave us advice on how the ceremony should flow, and in the end, we ended up with a great ceremony that went splendidly. I highly recommend Toni Maddi for your wedding day!

Toni was amazing. Within 60 seconds of talking to her, I knew I wanted to book her. I had talked to a few other officiants and they were okay, but Toni was so ... Easy going that it made me feel comfortable in our conversations. I felt like I could ask her or tell her anything.

When my wife and I decided to get married, we had a very small ceremony in mind, and wanted the ability to customize our vows to each other, my wife's daughter and our joint future raising of her, and also be unconventional and refrain from including too many religious references and such. Not only was Toni overjoyed to accomodate our wishes, but traveled a moderate distance to meet us and came prepared with numerous templates from which we could choose (and customize further), and presented us with ideas and suggestions to improve the ceremony and make it more personalized to suit our new family. She was genuinely interested to learn about us in that regard. She was very responsive to all of our requests, very organized and punctual, and took the time prior to and after the wedding to ensure we were satisfied and all of our questions were answered. I'd very highly recommend Toni Maddi to any prospective couple, it truly was a blessing to work with her!

Toni was absolutely wonderful to work with!! Our whole ceremony was totally custom to what we wanted. She came to our rehearsal and made sure everyone in our bridal party knew what to do and when to do it. So that everything went smoothly on our wedding day. Any time I emailed her with questions she got back to me right away. She also handled getting our marriage license to the county after the wedding. That was very nice because that was one less thing we had to worry about doing. I HIGHLY recommend her!!!

What we were looking for in an officiant was someone who would be flexible, would allow us to customize the ceremony to represent who we are, would be open to a nonreligious ceremony, would not impose traditional views of gender roles, and would be fun to work with. After speaking with several potential officiants, it was obvious that Toni was the best officiant for us.

Straight away, it was obvious that she was extremely experienced and professional; for example, she helped us figure out many details that we hadn't even thought of yet. Due to her experience, she has a wealth of ceremony materials that you can use as a guide to customize your service. She also made sure to get to know us so that she could personalize both the tone and content of our ceremony. On the day of, she did a great job of running the show, making sure that everyone was in their places and that the ceremony ran smoothly. We would highly recommend her to any of our friends looking to get married in the Lake County area.

Toni was an absolute treat to work with! When we decided to get married at our home, we wanted a very laid back wedding but really didn't know how to go about it. One call to Toni and everything was set! She helped us design a ceremony that suited out tastes, and our family & friends all commented on how great the service was, and how wonderful Toni's delivery was! We couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome! We highly recommend Toni!

Toni recently officiated our wedding, and she was hands down the most professional and organized wedding vendor that I have ever had the pleasure of working with - she made the process so easy. This was my second wedding, and she did an excellent job with our new blended family - incorporating my son into the ceremony and making him feel included in the process. I believe that she performed the most beautiful wedding ceremony that I have ever heard, although I may be a bit biased. :) However, I keep getting compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was, so it can't just be me! Toni, thank you so much for all of your help and helping us to have a very memorable wedding day. Keep up the fantastic work!

My partner and I of over 24 years reside in Ohio and decided to marry in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. Not knowing where to begin, I started doing some research over the internet when i came across Reverend Toni Maddi's website....i can't explain it, but from the moment i pulled her site up i knew she was the perfect person to officiate our wedding....it's as if i was guided to her site....so i contacted her through e-mail and she promptly responded back with a response of yes she was available on that specific day...oh, what a joy that was to hear....so we set up a time to do a consultation via Skype which made it more personable to my partner & I....no matter what religion you may practice or if you're a heterosexual or homosexual couple, Toni makes you feel at ease....with her guidance we came up with the perfect choices for our wedding.....after the wedding concluded that day, i had never heard so many positive responses from family & friends in regards to Toni....she is absolutely the kindest, warmest person you will ever come across & we are so fortunate to have had her to officiate our wedding for us....we both highly recommend her to perform what ever ceremony you may be looking for....all in all, Reverend Toni Maddi is the best ever!!!!! Thank you Toni.....

Toni responded very quickly after my first inquiry for her services. She was extremely helpful in assisting us to select the type of service we wanted. During the service, her obvious joy in marrying us was heartwarming. Tom and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional and compassionate partner in making your special day great!

I found Toni Maddi through this website. We met with several officiants and we immediately felt comfortable with her. She explained everything very well in that first meeting and answered any future questions quickly. We chose her not only because we liked her but because we could totally personalize our ceremony. She had everything laid out with many versions of what to say for each part of the ceremony and we were really able to make it ours (and short and sweet!). I highly recommend considering Toni Maddi as an officiant.

Toni Maddi was wonderful. We had met once before and made me feel really comfortable. She was great with getting back with e-mail. On the day of the wedding she came early and she was very calm and collected. She walked through the whole thing with us. During the ceremony she would make sure that we were okay. She did a wonderful job and I got many compliments from the guests about her.

Toni was simply great. She always responded to our emails in a timely fashion, and gave us a great deal of flexibility in terms of putting together the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, I was more than a little a nervous. However, once Toni walked us through everything prior to the start of the ceremony, she exuded such a strong sense of control that my nerves immediately began to subside. In terms of the ceremony itself, she did a flawless job. Both my wife and I commented to each other following the ceremony how impressed we were with Toni. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding.

Toni was great to work with, from the moment we met to discuss our wedding event till the day she married us. The ceremony she gave at our Wedding was very unique to us and kept it very true to us.We are Hispanic, and it was great the Toni incorporated Spanish into our ceremony-- This really helped our family and friends understand the ceremony.

We were very lucky we got to work with Toni and that she was the one who married us. You did great in the Spanish parts too! :)

Thank you so much Toni!

Since our wedding two weeks ago, my husband and I have receiving CONTINUAL compliments and have had numerous conversations about how beautiful our ceremony was. Everyone has wanted to talk about it and says, "your ceremony was SO YOU." And it's true - Toni Maddi was our officiant at our wedding at the Buffalo Grove Arboretum Club and she really did an incredible job creating a wedding ceremony that was genuinely personal and absolutely beautiful.

While we were considering officiants, we met with Toni (our first meeting!) and immediately knew that she is someone whose presence and thoughtfulness would create a real sense of community and love at our ceremony. We were really happy to feel confident that we wouldn't have to meet with any other potential officiants, and then worked with her to design our own ceremony. We chose beautiful readings from a list of her suggestions and added personalized segments such as a candle lighting segment in the middle of the ceremony where children came to light candles for our grandparents and other family members not with us.

She helped us to create and then carried out a personalized ceremony that was full of grace and love. And, after we said our vows, she asked us to turn around and soak in the moment. My husband and I turned and had the opportunity to look into the faces of the 160+ friends and family who had just witnessed the most important and wonderful moment in our lives. It was awesome!! (I'm getting teary writing about it!)

My husband and I (as well as our families and friends) would highly, highly recommend Toni to anyone who is looking for a ceremony that is meaningful for everyone there. A side note, Toni said that no rehearsal was necessary given how small our bridal parties was; it was so nice to not have to do this the day before the wedding and I really did trust Toni so I wasn't worried. In all honesty, no rehearsal was necessary and everything unfolded beautifully. Thank you, Toni.

What can I say? She was a Blessing to us all! Even when my limo was a hour late, my son lost one of our wedding rings during the ceremony and my brother (who was giving me away) was in lala land when was he was supposed to say "I do". lol She remained calm!!!! She helped me tru the unbelievable anxiety attack I was having up there. She was the best......Everything she promised was as PROMISED. Everything went as planned. I wanted to make her a part of the family =)
We would ,without a doubt, recomend her to anyone who is looking for an officiant!!!!

Toni was so wonderful throughout the entire experience. From meeting with us to help us plan the ceremony, to helping calm my husband's nerves the day of we couldn't have asked for a better person to officiate our ceremony. She provided such a wonderful, personal touch to everything and we could not have been happier. Thank you Toni!

Toni,

Thank you for making our wedding day very special. We couldn't have imagined for anything to be as perfect as you made everything. It's comforting to know that there are individuals who care enough to make someone's special event, no matter how small, be the most wonderful occasion possible. We will always remember you as we reflect on our wedding day. You have truly earned our highest recommendations to anyone who is enquiring about an officiant for their special event.

Sincerely,

Anthony and Trisha

We are so thankful that our life path's crossed with Rev. Toni's. We had no idea as to how we were going to select an officiant for our civil union. However, when we saw REv. Toni's picture on her website, her spirit shined through so brilliantly. We knew she was the one!

Rev. Toni guided us in the selection of our vows with patience and grace. Our ceremony was such an intimate and sacred ceremony. We believe that Rev. Toni made all the difference in the world.

Best wishes,
Monika & Monica

Toni was fabulous!! We ended up firing our original reverend 2 weeks prior to our wedding and Toni stepped in and did a great job of customizing the ceremony that really reflected us. We received many compliments about how great she was and how the ceremony was very personalized and refelected who we were. She made us feel confident in the entire process and was always available for questions.

I would highly recommend Toni to anyone planning a wedding and looking for that personal touch!!

Toni officiated our 11/12/11 wedding and I highly recommend her. She was wonderful to work with. I planned our wedding from out of state so only had the chance to talk with her on the phone prior to the wedding day but she gave us an amazing ceremony and it felt like we had a real relationship. I got so many compliments from our guests saying that it was the nicest ceremony they'd ever attended. Two guests even said that they wished Toni had officiated their childrens' weddings. I can't recommend her enough.

We found Toni to be very warm, friendly and professional. We had a ceremony that incorporated several of our own elements built around the framework and guidance that Toni offered. She was more than happy to incorporate what we wanted and had some very good advice to help with improvements (sharing elements among participants/offering to help prepare materials). She definitely looked the part on the day (she'd even had her hair done!) and was very good at calming nerves and making the whole ceremony feel very human but also deeply meaningful. We can whole-heartedly recommend her to you.

Toni Maddi was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Our friends were married by her a year before, and when we got engaged, they e-mailed to tell us how wonderful Toni was. With such a recommendation, how could we not engage her services?

Toni is extremely professional and very responsive to e-mails. Meeting her in person was like having coffee with a friend; she's very warm and very good at setting people at ease. Putting the ceremony together was so special. I loved being able to customize it, and Toni had great suggestions--all of which we used! At the ceremony, ah... it was just perfect. Exactly what we wanted. And Toni was such a huge part of it. She kept checking on my groom and me to make sure we were breathing, not locking our knees, and not about to pass out! The ceremony felt so intimate and friendly and was just to our liking.

Thank you, Toni, for making our celebration so meaningful!

I have nothing but absolutely positive things to say about working with Toni Maddi. She was everything that my husband and I wanted in a wedding officiant. She is extremely intelligent, thoughtful and professional. She truly listened to how we envisioned our ceremony and then brought it to life. We received many compliments from our guests on our ceremony-we could not be happier. I will forever be grateful to Toni for being such an important part of one of the happiest days of my life.

We found Toni to be an excellent officiant for our wedding. She was very personable to us and our families, and conducted a beautiful ceremony.

She provided great guidance and even a document with example ceremony readings for us to choose from. It was a lot of help considering the astounding amount of research we had to do for other parts of our wedding - what a relief!

All in all, we would recommend you use Toni. She is a great person and officiant. We really enjoyed her services.

Choosing Toni to be the Officiant for our wedding was the best decision! We e-mailed a couple of prospective Officiants and Toni's response was by far the most warm and professional. We met with her in a coffee shop and she impressed us so much we gave her the deposit on the spot. We loved the format that she uses for making the ceremony more personal. It made the whole process so much easier since we weren't starting from scratch. We wanted a ceremony that was pretty straightforward and non-religious but still personal and romantic and that's exactly what we got. Toni totally put us at ease and was very organized on the day of. She did an excellent job during the ceremony, we got soooo many compliments on the ceremony throughout the night. I would highly recommend Toni Maddi if you are getting married in the Chicago area.

HOORAY FOR TONI!!!!!! Toni was SO easy to work with and she was great about our wishes to have a non-demoninational ceremony. We talked about the ceremony a few days before and it was clear to us that Toni was 100% on it. She gave us a few key pieces of advice, the most valuable of which turned out to be giving our 5 year old ring bearer a fake ring to carry. "don't give a five year old your rings!" Our best man had the rings with him and our nephew had a costume ring in a matching sachet to the real ones - and sure enough, he was swinging that thing around, dropping it in the grass, etc for the 30 mins prior to the ceremony. Many of our guests commented that the ceremony was so moving and that Toni was the best officiant they had ever witnessed. Toni even managed to remind me to breathe (twice) without our guests noticing. She balanced the humor of our story with the the tenderness of the hand ceremony and the seriousness of her personal comments on marriage. Toni shepherded us through a dream ceremony - we cannot recommend her enough. THANK YOU TONI!!!!!!

PS. From a note I sent to Toni on 2/27/11: We're STILL hearing from our wedding guests how much they loved you! Please feel free to send anyone our way - we would be so happy to be a reference for you.

We had such a wonderful experience with Toni, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Chicago area looking for an officiant. She was very responsive at my initial request for information about her services, and during our planning meeting she was very warm and engaging, and flexible in creating a very personal wedding ceremony. She encouraged us to write our own vows, which I normally wouldn't have thought of doing, but in the end, reading vows was one of my favorite moments of the night! Our ceremony was so unique and special, and was absolutely my favorite part of our wedding. Toni had a very calming and professional presence at our wedding, and we can't imagine having had the ceremony without her!!

Rev. Maddi was really great to work with. She's friendly and open with any ideas as well as providing ideas from previous experiences that she had. We didn't have a rehearsal but Rev. Maddi was able to guide everyone through the ceremony. Her ceremony guide made it easy for us to decide what needs to be included in the ceremony. She is very professional. We added a butterfly release to our ceremony about a week or so before our wedding and she jumped with the idea even though it wasn't discussed originally. I would recommend her to anyone looking for officiant service for their wedding. Thanks!

Toni did an excellent job on our ceremony! We had many compliments from our guests about how much they liked our ceremony and the way Toni presented. Before meeting Toni, we met with numerous other officiants, and none of them compared to Toni. We connected with her from the first phone conversation. She is very easy to talk to and made us feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great wedding officiant!

I highly recommend Toni. We spoke on the phone and then met in person. She took the time to get to know us. We were able to select what we wanted (and didn't want) in our ceremony which made it "our" ceremony. She was always very quick to get back to us whether it was by phone or email. Very professional. We got a lot of comments from our guests on how beautiful the ceremony was.

I would recommend Toni Maddi to anyone in need of an officiant for their wedding. She is very prompt to respond back to any questions/comments/concerns we had, she is very professional, and she is very warm and friendly. We had an initial meeting with Toni to discuss what we had in mind for our ceremony and from the moment we met her, we knew she was going to be an excellent officiant for our wedding and the right "fit". We had a non-denominational/non-traditional wedding. I am Vietnamese and my husband is Caucasion. I had wanted to incorporate some of my Vietnamese cultural wedding traditions into the ceremony and Toni was very accomodating to what I had wanted (we ended up incorporating a Vietnamese Tea Ceremony into our wedding ceremony). She had a whole list of possibile "scripts" for our ceremony and we were able to pick and choose from her list and we were able to add/modify things to fit "us". This made the ceremony very clear-cut and easy for us because we had no idea on what to do or where even to begin when it came time to figure out what we wanted said during the wedding ceremony. We were able to write up a personal story about "us" and incorporate it into the wedding ceremony. We were able to write up our own vows and she was able to incorporate these into the ceremony. We had an outdoor ceremony and she projects her voice very loudly and clearly (our guest count was 200). At the end of the ceremony, she had us both turn to face our guests which was completely unexpected but I think for both my husband and I, this was one of our favorite parts of the ceremony. We got to stop and see all of our guests and all of their faces which is all such a blur when you're the bride and walking down the aisle to stand next to your man so this was a very nice touch in the end.

Toni gave us the most beautiful wedding ceremony! We continue to receive compliments on how wonderful and unique it was. Throughout the planning process and the actual ceremony, she made us feel very comfortable and helped us design a ceremony that fit us. She made me feel very relaxed on the day of the wedding which I greatly needed. I can't wait to see our wedding video to rehear all of her beautiful words and message.

Toni was fantastic to work with! Her ceremonies allow couples to have a lot of flexibility and decision-making in how to customize the ceremony to fit each couple's taste. We received numerous compliments about the ceremony and how unique it was in comparison to other weddings. It really left an impression with our guests!

I think finding an officiate is the hardest part of the planning. Toni was a perfect find! After we talked with her over the phone (we live out of town) we knew she was right for us. She sends you a document to give you ideas of a ceremony and then works with you to make it all yours! We did meet with her to go over the ceremony. We can not believe how many of our guests came up to us after the ceremony to tell us how much they enjoyed it and appreciated all that Toni had to say. People told us it was refreshing, thoughtful, warm, and perfect. And we agree! She was amazing. HIGHLY recommend!

Toni Maddi did a wonderful job at our wedding. Prior to the ceremony we were able to work together to develop a script that incorporated all of our personal touches. She was very calm and helped us get through the ceremony. We had a bilingual ceremony (English/Spanish) and she was great! She's a very professional person and we highly recommend her.

We were so happy to have Toni officiate our Wedding. She was professional and serious about what she does but her personality shines through with warmth, caring and her absolutly great sense of humor! She really put us at ease and was so great to work with. Toni was really interested in getting to know us and what was important to us on our wedding day. She enabled us to have our own unique ceremony that really highlighted our personalities!

Thank you Toni!

My husband and I did not want a religious ceremony. Toni helped us create a beautiful ceremony that fit us perfectly. We got several compliments in the following months - even requests to send family members the transcript from the ceremony!
Even though a major traffic jam caused her as well as several guests to be 45 min late (to absolutely no fault of their own) - she did not rush through our ceremony and still made us feel incredibly special. She did a great job and I would recommend her to anyone!

I liked how she had several options for wording for each part of the ceremony. That way we were able to personalize the ceremony but without a lot of creative effort on our part! My husband is from Argentina and his parents don't speak English. She suggested that I do my vows in Spanish and provided a translation. His parents and friends were very touched by that special moment. She also had several readings available in Spanish. It added a lot to our ceremony.

Regardless of faith or the type of service, Toni Maddi has a calm and powerful presence that sets the tone for a memorable and positive day. She has a rare gift of being able to unite a room of people with different beliefs and backgrounds by highlighting a hopefulness we all feel - both those involved in the ceremony and those witnessing are engaged in her message.

We had an initial meeting to discuss our thoughts, ideal ceremony, and her thoughts. She inherently understood us and provided several well-written frameworks to help build a ceremony that suited us perfectly.

On our wedding day, she arrived early - looking very elegant in minister's attire. She was the only person who was able to help me feel less nervous before the ceremony - not even my sweet Mom could do that. I felt like she was a long-lost Aunt who understood us both so well. Having her up there with me made me feel calm.

So many guests complimented us on her service. She is one of my favorite pieces of that special day. She is a wise, well-spoken, kind, and spiritually-intelligent woman. It was exactly the ceremony we both wanted. Her prices are so competitive, especially for the services she provides.

What a kind soul, we were lucky to have her there with us that day. She is exceptional in every aspect; we highly recommend her services.

Toni was just what we were looking for in an officiant. Someone with experience who could give us lots of options for a unique interfaith ceremony. She was accomodating to everything we wanted and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a unique and beautiful ceremony for their wedding.

She was personable, friendly, very sophisticated, reliable, and always had a smile on her face. She put us at ease on our wedding day. We highly recommend her.

We love Toni! She gave us as much guidance with putting our ceremony together as we needed. She gave us many options that we were able to pick and choose, put together in different ways, and add some personal touches too. This made our ceremony uniquely ours. If we wanted to go a with a 'standard' ceremony and vows, we could have done that too. People at the wedding and others who have seen the video always comment on our vows - and Toni was a big part of that. The ceremony and our vows was my favorite part of the day.
I would also highly recommend marriage sessions with Toni - or someone. We did ours with Toni and this gave us a chance to meet with her over the 9 months leading up to the wedding. She got to know us and we got to know her. We still keep in touch. We're considering using her for the baptism of our little one on the way.

Toni was fantastic. She listened to everything that we wanted out of the ceremony and prepared a beautiful service. She gave us lots of options for the ceremony format and content, and provided great advice when we asked for it. Everyone who attended our wedding commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. My wife and I also had several marriage prep sessions with Toni which I'd recommend to anyone. Not only were the valuable to our relationship, but they really let us get to know Toni well, which made our wedding day even more personal. In summary - Toni was absolutely great. She'll listen to what you want, and give you an absolutely beautiful ceremony.

I couldn't have asked for a better person than Toni Maddi, when it came to the joys and struggles of the big day. She helped me stay calm when things got crazy, she helped me laugh when things made me angry, and she helped us understand just how personalized our vows and wedding ceremony could be. I recommend Toni Maddi, for any wedding, baptism, or any spiritual event. I hope to some day have her be a part of my childrens baptism and first communion. Many of my guests commented on how unique and beautiful our ceremony was. Toni helped us create a beautiful experience for our wedding day.

Thanks Toni,
Kristen Gioe

Toni performed a beautiful ceremony. We ended up writing our own ceremony. Not because we didn't think Toni could do it. We wanted to write parts of the ceremony. Between that and the research I did, we ended up with an entire ceremony. Toni was totally open to the fact that we wrote it. Her reading of it was better than I could have imagined. Part of the ceremony included a passage from a poem my husband wrote to me while we were dating (where are the poems now!). Without even knowning the entire poem, Toni read the passage as if she had read the entire poem. We were most impressed. I recommend her highly to you and I have recommended her to my friends and family.

Tony was WONDERFUL! We found her online and after talking to her on the phone, we were excited that she would officiate our wedding. She was willing to drive over 2 hours to attend our rehearsal dinner as well as another 2 hours (one way) to officiate our wedding. She was very flexible and willing to help as needed. I would recommend her services to anyone!

Rev. Maddi has such a beautiful easy-going personality, she made the ceremony planning process completely stress free. With so much kindness and enthusiasm she listened to all our ideas, she guided us without being restrictive and delivered an incredible ceremony. Our wedding ceremony was so personal and unique that every one of our guests has raved about how wonderful she performed our wedding. The compliments have been endless.

We both highly recommend Toni - she is wonderful!!!

Toni was amazing. She made my wife and me extremely comfortable throughout the planning of the ceremony. She has great ideas for ceremonies and is flexible if you want to do something different or unique. It was truly a pleasure working with her. Everyone from both of our families really liked her also. She is a very warm person, is very professional and has a sense of humor that sets her apart from the rest. If you are thinking about using Toni, do not hesitate. She's the best!
