About
Congratulations! Your wedding ceremony is the beginning of your new life together. This is something that should reflect your personalities and leave you with the happily ever after feeling. I specialize in writing ceremonies so I want to get to know you, hear your love story, your dreams and your goals. I will incorporate that into your ceremony. I will send you a copy of your ceremony for your approval and welcome any changes. You can add your special touch with a Unity Candle Ceremony, Sand Ceremony, personal readings or any other ceremony you choose. (see under "more" then "add a special touch") This is your special day and should be what you want. I offer different ideas that you usually won't see at other ceremonies to make yours truly "a wedding to remember"! Please visit my website for all of the testimonials my happy couples have written me. This is your day, it should be perfect. Knowing that I was a part of their special day is one of the greatest gifts to me. Being a part of their journey is priceless.

Hired on Thumbtack

Let's just start off with saying Barbara was outstanding. She officiated our wedding and was nothing short of perfect. I posted an "Ad" on Thumbtack saying we needed an officiant. I received about 6 emails and after getting a few quotes Barbara stood out because of her reasonable fees and a positive feeling i received when sending those first few messages back and forth. In regards to the job itself, all we needed was something very simple. We needed an officiant for our wedding. My wife and I decided our ceremony was going to be short and sweet so all that we needed was for her to come to our rehearsal the night before and be there for about 45 minutes the day of. Barbara showed up early to both the rehearsal and the ceremony (which totally helped bring stress levels down). She was very flexible in regards to what we wanted, how we wanted it and she molded the ceremony around us. Her words were beautiful, it went for the perfect amount of time (about 20 minutes) and we were extremely satisfied. Also, she was very professional when it came to the marriage license portion. Very prompt in getting us a copy which really means a lot to because to my wife and I that meant she takes her position very seriously and it didn't "end" as soon as she was done with the ceremony.

Dear David & Tracy, Thank you for the beautiful testimonial and It was my pleasure and honor to marry such a beautiful couple. I truly enjoyed to be able to personalize your ceremony with the "interview" answers that you both provided. Your guests also seemed to enjoy your answers! Please let me know if you do decide to move to Chicago, I would like to stay in touch to see how you are doing. If not, I would still like to keep in touch! Wishing you many years of true happiness and good health. Barbara

Barbara was outstanding to work with. My husband and I are very pleased with how Barbara conducted our ceremony. She had great ideas that we hadn’t considered, but was not pushy about whether or not we chose to try them. We would recommend Barbara to anyone looking for an organized, prompt, and knowledgeable officiant at a great price.

If I could give Barbara 10 stars I would! She is very easy to to work with and works very hard to give you the ceremony of your dreams. My ceremony was a bit harder because we are mixing to religions, she helped us meld the two together and gave us some unique ideas to make our wedding special and memorable. Barbara makes it her priority to give you exactly what you want for your special day. She also worked with our busy schedules and met us wherever was convenient for us. She truly put us first and took care of every question or concern we had about our big day. I highly recommend Barbara and I am so thankful to have such an awesome caring person to help me merry my best friend!

Rev Barbara was everything that we hoped she would be. She was friendly, efficient, and performed a very touching ceremony! We got many compliments of what a nice job she did and how she personalized it. It was not just a traditional wedding vow ceremony but more unique yet simple and tasteful making us and our guests feel as though she knew us!

Hi Victoria, Thank you for the touching review, I am so happy you enjoyed the ceremony. You and Charlie are such a beautiful couple and I was honored to be a part of your journey. I know that a marriage will last when I see the bride or groom crying during the ceremony. Wishing you many years of true happiness, good health, and an abundance of prosperity. Barbara

Wonderful officiant! Worked with us on several changes to the ceremony script, promptly answered all emails, conducted the ceremony beautifully and flowed with our goofy mistakes. Recommend highly!

Hi Dana, Thank you for the kind review. I am so happy that you enjoyed your ceremony. Your so called "goofy" mistakes were adorable and added an additional special touch to your ceremony! Wishing you all the best that life has to offer. Barbara
