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.

Forever Incredible Ceremonies

  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $1,050
  • Serves Winnetka, IL

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.

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.

[Episodes 4 and Season Finale 8] Whether it's a backyard 'I Do' or a ballroom fairytale, I'm here to make your moment unforgettable. Weddings are my business and love is always center stage.

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!

We chose the Sign and Go package, and Ashton made our home ceremony feel incredibly meaningful. His attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond is what set Bishop Weddings apart.

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.

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and I’m here to help make it UNFORGETTABLE! I specialize in personalized ceremonies that reflect who you are as a couple—whether lighthearted and fun or deeply heartfelt. Serving couples across Chicagoland, I’m passionate about making your ceremony the highlight of your big day—for you and your guests. I have over 30 years of experience as an ordained minister, and have married 1,200+ awesome couples. I LOVE helping couples start their marriage with love, joy, and a ceremony they will never forget. Let’s create a ceremony your guests won’t stop talking about!

Our experience with Rev. Dave was honestly a hit from the beginning! His personality is magnetic and you can tell he puts love and intention into the wedding ceremonies that he is a part of. He has different content up his sleeve (you’ll see when you book with him) to truly give you an unforgettable ceremony. Our guests could NOT stop raving about him and all of our guests thought that we had YEARS of personal family connections with him, when in reality we only had a 3-4 planning sessions. One of our close family friends even told my dad that our ceremony was the best ceremony he had ever seen and his daughter just got married (sorry girl!). All i can say is this: when you receive his pricing, DO NOT SKIMP. My (now) husband and i paid for this wedding ourselves, and i do admit that we went with the middle package because of our own hectic schedules and finances, but Rev Dave is WORTH IT ALL. You are (hopefully) only getting married one time, and one of THE best decisions you could make is hiring Rev. Dave!
