“Desi was the greatest help in the wedding planning process as well as officiating a beautiful ceremony and telling our story in a way brought tears to myself and my husband! She was always easy to get ahold of and often times more on top of wedding planning than I was. I could not have made major decisions about our special day without her input. From coordinating to officiating, she offers a comprehensive package for weddings. Would hire her for any other events in the future.”

The Wedding Rev - Rev. Dave Angle

Serves Deer Grove, IL

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!”

However, the one that I was sure about was hiring Mike to officiate. Rest assured reader, Mike is the best of the best. You’ll get fun, light, funny, passion, and lots of kindness. You’ll also get a new friend. Someone who is truly rooting for your marriage. He does this as his passion project, and that passion shines through. Your ceremony will be your favorite part and honestly.. even though I’m a control freak and would like to say my ceremony was the best because of what I did.. it was because of Mike. Happy wedding planning! Don’t think twice, Married By Mike is the easiest decision to make.”

I have been an ordained Wedding Officiant since 1989 serving Wisconsin couples. I love my job because it is the happiest job I have ever had. Love is in the air! You will be amazed at my service, guaranteed!

“We hired Nicholas Flessas as our officiant about a year before our wedding, and he stayed in touch with us throughout the entire planning process with regular check-ins that made us feel supported. On our wedding day, when drizzle started during our outdoor ceremony, Nicholas quickly took charge and guided our guests to a sheltered indoor area so everyone stayed comfortable until the weather cleared. His professionalism and quick thinking made the whole situation feel seamless, and our guests didn't miss a beat. Nicholas delivered our ceremony with the perfect mix of warmth and humor, keeping things personal while staying articulate and composed. His fees were reasonable and transparent, which we really appreciated. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us celebrate our marriage.”

From our first conversation, he was quick to respond and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. He took time to understand what we wanted and crafted a detailed ceremony that felt personal to us. On the day of the wedding, everything flowed smoothly thanks to his professionalism and attention to detail. Our officiant was reliable, easy to work with, and even knew the perfect moment to step back for our first kiss. We'd recommend Christian Officiants to any couple looking for someone who takes their job seriously and cares about making your day special.”

I am a non denominational wedding officiant that travels to your location to unite you. I pride myself with open communication for my couples this way I can learn more about you both and create a beautiful ceremony that reflects your beautiful love story.

“A few seconds before our ceremony it started to drizzle and there were giant dark rain clouds above us, my fiance and I wanted to keep going and we did. Luckily when I got to the altar it stopped and the sun started peeking out but we weren't sure if the rain would stop. I loved that at the beginning of our ceremony Rachel pointed out that its good luck for it to rain on one's wedding day. This changed the vibe from rain panic to something special and positive. So many guests came up to tell us how beautiful the ceremony was and they loved the "Love Story" Rachel wrote about us. She got to know so much about our relationship and us as individuals and captured everything that makes us special into that story. We laughed, we cried, full of joy. She was such a special part of our day and will recommend her to anyone”
