About

I am an ordained minister who will perform non-denominational, civil unions and same-sex marriages at any location. I will work with you to design a ceremony to meet your needs. We will discuss the options for your ceremony either in person or by phone consultation ~ whichever is more convenient for you. I service indoor or outdoor venues in Illinois, and parts of Indiana. You pay a $50 non-refundable fee to book the date (payable within 7 days of hiring) and the balance would be due at rehearsal. I accept credit/debit cards, cash, or SquareCash, and Venmo for payments. It’s never too early to book for next Season! I began marrying couples since 2004.

He was extremely kind and made us feel so comfortable! We had our wedding at our home with just us and our children and he made sure they felt included. We wanted our wedding to have a bit of humor for our children and he hit the mark beautifully! We had also given him a very short notice to come and he answered our needs. We can’t thank him enough! Because of him, we were able to have the day we wanted and the time we had hoped for even when other things fell apart. He helped us keep it about us!

Details: Wedding • Christian • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

Thank you for having me officiate. It was a pleasure to serve you and your family on short notice. I enjoyed meeting everyone and they were dressed for the occasion...St. Patrick's Day! I appreciate you and Barry for your generosity as well as your kind words here. Reviews are so very important and mean a lot to me. Thanks for taking the time to respond to the request. I hope you're enjoying your "new" life together as husband & wife! Best regards, Rev.Dr.J.

Rev. J. was everything we wanted in an officiant. He was very quick to respond to any questions we had. He sat down with us and made sure our wedding was personalized just for us! We wanted to include the salt ceremony into our wedding and he was very excited to include it. His words were perfect and we can't imagine a better officiant.

The Marryingrev's reply

Thanks for your kind words, Stewart and Alisha! You two were gems to work with. I really did appreciate the opportunity to include the Salt Covenant...that was a new one. Now I will be able to share it to others. You had a beautiful day at Allerton Park ~ the perfect setting for any wedding.
