Rev Bill was excellent. He was professional, warm, and was an expert aid up to and at our Wedding. He met with us often, got to really know us and our relationship, and offered invaluable advice regarding the ceremony and our vows. And it wasn't just us, our guests commented on just how perfect Rev. Bill was for our special day.

I am a bilingual wedding officiant, fluent in both English and Spanish, I Specialize in budget-friendly weddings. With no guest limits for in-person weddings. I proudly welcome and celebrate same-sex couples, offering a warm and supportive experience for every couple I work with.

Our experience with Love Story Unions was fantastic. The officiant was fast, efficient, and incredibly respectful throughout the entire process. He is thoughtful, understanding, and budget-friendly, providing excellent value. When I was 35 minutes late due to traffic, the officiant patiently waited for me to arrive, not just sitting idly but actively checking for updates, and he even offered to help my wedding planner with any issues that came up, even translating for a vendor. Their communication was top-notch, and they contributed greatly to making our special day truly memorable. I highly recommend Love Story Unions to any couple looking for a professional, caring, and attentive officiant.

  • Serves Harwood Heights, IL

Welcome! I see my role as an expert facilitator, listening and learning about you and your love story so I can articulate the goodness of your relationship in a personal ceremony made just for you. Whether queer, normative, spiritual, secular or somewhere in between, our process is painless! Clients consistently share that they feel supported through the process, and hear from guests that their ceremony felt so much like them. We work with all couples in the context of their sex, gender, expression, sexual orientation, race, culture, spirituality, age, and physical ability.

Rebecca was so great to work with. We had her as our officiant and are so happy we found her. Unlike a lot of people we know, we weren't interested in having a family member or friend officiate our wedding, and Rebecca reinforced why that was the right decision. Her organization and expertise made planning our ceremony so easy, enjoyable, and customized to us. On our wedding day, her calming presence was so appreciated to help ease the nerves we inevitably had. Thank you, Rebecca!

At Forever Incredible Ceremonies, I specialize in crafting custom, heartfelt wedding ceremonies that are as unique as the love stories behind them. I take the time to get to know each couple, weaving their journey, values, and vision into a one-of-a-kind ceremony that feels personal, joyful, and deeply meaningful. Whether you're planning a luxury wedding, a multicultural celebration, or a heartfelt elopement, my goal is to make your ceremony the most memorable part of your day. Based in Chicago and available for travel, I bring warmth, professionalism, and a little magic to every celebration I’m lucky enough to officiate.

The best decision I've ever made was to marry my husband. The second-best decision I've made was hiring Carla of Forever Incredible Ceremonies to be our officiant. Leading up to our wedding, she really took the time to get to know me and my husband and to learn about our love story. The ceremony she wrote for us was astoundingly personalized--her attention to detail is like no other. She offered beautiful & fitting suggestions when we didn't know where to begin with readings, had excellent ideas for a unity ceremony that was unique to our family, and customized the structure of the ceremony so it felt just like "us". We found her pricing to be right in line with our expectations. Carla's friendly and outgoing personality helped her to really connect with our guests, and the ceremony came across as relaxed and genuine--exactly the vibe were shooting for. We received many compliments on the ceremony from our guests, and at least one couple in attendance has gone on to hire Carla to officiate their wedding. I attended that wedding last fall, and the ceremony was entirely different from my own but once again captured that couple perfectly. Carla is a wonderful officiant and I will recommend her over and over again.

"I Do" Weddings, Ltd.

Rev. Phil is a full-time wedding officiant. He is real minister (with a Master of Divinity degree). He has been married to Pam for 41 years. He enjoys watching movies (tries to see all the Oscar nominees), reading newspapers on his iPad, the Bears, summer concerts at the Chicago Botanic Garden and wine. He and his wife love to chat, listen to music and drink wine in front of their fireplace or in the backyard, depending on the season.

We feel so lucky to have had Reverend Phil as our officiant—he truly made our outdoor ceremony not only beautiful and memorable, but deeply meaningful. He brought the perfect balance of a religious tone with warmth and sincerity, creating an atmosphere that felt so personal and reflective of us as a couple. Every part of the ceremony was incredibly intentional. Reverend Phil involved us throughout the entire process, from approving the full script to holding a rehearsal on the grounds to ensure everything would go smoothly. He didn’t just officiate—he genuinely acted as a ceremony coordinator, stepping in when needed (including when the wind unexpectedly knocked over and broke our glass vases) and handling it all with calm and care. We can't recommend Reverend Phil enough to any couple looking for a ceremony that’s heartfelt, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable.
