Our team of officiants has over 600 weddings experience in the last 8 years. We are experienced in creating a ceremony that is perfect for you and your fiancee for the best start to your married life.

Jennifer was wonderful to work with. She was very easy to contact and quickly answered any and all questions. Rehearsal went by so smooth and made sure to allievate any concerns and nerves- everyone knew what to do, when to do it, and how. The ceremony itself was more than what we could have hoped for. Jennifer kept it upbeat, loving, emotional, and just FUN! We were involved in the writing process so the ceremony was personal and full of meaning but kept a lot of surprises for us. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough!!!

I assist in crafting a creative, Jewish wedding ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple. I work with partners that are Jewish, interfaith, and LGBTQ+. I help couples honor their connection to Judaism and show them how to incorporate that respect into their wedding ceremony...in a way that is comfortable for them.

Rabbi Dina was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding ceremony. From our first conversation, Reb Dina was incredibly responsive, communicative, and friendly. We wanted elements of a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony without being overly religious and she took the time to understand our vision and tailored the ceremony to be truly special and personal for us. We received so many compliments from our guests on how special and full of love the ceremony was and what a wonderful job Reb Dina did. She was a delight to work with and really allowed us to customize the ceremony to be exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Reb Dina and her team for any couple looking for a flexible, personalized, and unforgettable wedding officiant!

​Hey I’m Mike! Some are NBA legends, some are the king of pop, another one was a ruthless boxer, and I believe one was even known as Magic! As for me, I’m just ordinary Mike! But just like those Mikes, I’m overly passionate about something. That something is the biblical definition of marriage! If you are reading this, I need to start with a huge congratulations!! You are about to embark on one of the greatest blessings God has for you. Doing life as a team is the absolute best! I would be overjoyed to join you two, encourage you two, and create for you two a custom wedding ceremony that is unforgettable! Let's get you Married By Mike!

Short answer: Yes! Hire Mike for a fantastic officiant! You won’t regret it! Long answer: I have been fortunate to know Mike since university. We were roommates for a year and he has been my soccer captain to this day. When my now wife and I were looking for an officiant, I thought about Mike. Not only because he knows me, but because I know how great of a public speaker he is. How personable he can be with anyone he meets. I guarantee he will take the time to get to know you and your significant other. He will learn every detail of your story. He will personalize your wedding to exactly the way you want. If you don’t know him like I do, still reach out to him. I guarantee you will be amazed by his personality and his care for your love story. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and Mike was truly the cherry on top! I am incredibly happy that we picked Mike to tell our story and create a beautiful ceremony!

Winning all five stars, Certified Signatures TN is trusted and has become a go-to choice for couples looking to make their wedding day memorable.

Jackie was an amazing officiant from start to finish! We struggled to find a officiant close to our area so we started looking further out and once we found Jackie, she won us over with her joyful and funny personality. Jackie had good and quick communication starting from the moment we reached out and throughout the whole process. Jackie was super helpful with making our ceremony unique to us and special by including small pieces that we asked for but also by having some suggestions of her own. There were many guests after the ceremony that told me what a good job Jackie did. She was super supportive during our wedding day and made us comfortable throughout the whole process. I highly recommend choosing Jackie as your wedding officiant. Our day truly would not have been the same without her!

  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Serves Vernon Hills, IL

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.

The entire process of working with him was seamless and enjoyable. He guided us through every step, offering suggestions while also ensuring that our wishes were always honored. His patience and kindness put us at ease, especially during moments when we were feeling nervous or unsure. When it came time for the ceremony, we were in awe of how beautifully it all came together. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how heartfelt and personalized the ceremony was. It was unlike any other wedding ceremony they had attended, and it made our day feel even more meaningful.

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.
