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.

Dr. J did an amazing job officiating our wedding. He made the ceremony feel personal and special, and really took the time to get to know us. Everything was smooth and exactly how we wanted it. We’re so glad we chose him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and thoughtful officiant!

Details: Elopement • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 20 guests or fewer • I'm flexible • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

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!

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.

Literally the best person ever for the job! He was professional and very very respectful. We had a beautiful Christian ceremony! Even though we contacted him literally 2 days before the wedding he showed up and showed out!!! He even came with a gift that fit us absolutely perfectly!! 10 out of 10 very highly recommended!!!

Jay was WONDERFUL as the officiant for my daughter's wedding. He even incorporated her and her fiance's kitties in the ceremony. It was very sweet. I can't recommend him enough! You must have him as your wedding officiant!

Kelly, Thanks for your 5 Star review of my service. It's always nice to hear how people respond to the ceremony script. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the input from Hannah and Nate - they were fun to work with. You did a great job too! Thanks for having me.

I had my wedding this month out at Salt Fork Center and The Marryingrev officiated the service for us. I am so happy I found this website! The Marryingrev was definitely the way to go. He was so easy to talk to, listened to what we needed and wanted, and planned a beautiful service for us. He was early, professional and courteous, everything went extremely well. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Details: Wedding • Christian • 51 - 100 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

The Marryingrev's reply
Thank you, Julie, for your glowing 5-Star review of my service! It was a pleasure officiating for you and Jamie. I enjoyed my time with you, your friends and your family.
