“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Rev. Phill! From start to finish, he made our ceremony feel completely personal, meaningful, and truly about us. He took the time to get to know us and guided us through every step of the process — from the structure of the ceremony to the heartfelt details that made it uniquely ours. His care, thoughtfulness, and genuine spirit shone through in every moment. My absolute favorite part of the entire day was when my husband and I shared our reasons for why we love each other — a beautiful idea that Rev. Phill incorporated perfectly. Hearing those words out loud, realizing how aligned our hearts and thoughts were, and seeing our guests’ reactions was unforgettable. It’s something we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and so many guests told us afterward how touching and personal it was. Rev. Phill went above and beyond in every way. His warmth, sincerity, and professionalism made us feel completely at ease, and it truly felt like he had known us for years. We would not have wanted anyone else to officiate our wedding — he was absolutely perfect for us and worth every penny. Rev. Phill made our day more meaningful than we ever could have imagined, and we will gladly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable.”

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”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Jane was one of the best parts of our day. After my now husband heard me laughing and talking easily through my initial phone call to Jane, we both knew she was the officiant for us. She helped us all truly relish in the joy of our family coming together. But not only was she fun and easy to work with, she's also deeply insightful. Her message was so uniquely inspiring to us that it actually helped me commit to some other changes in my life, and my wedding day become not just a pivotal moment for our relationship but for the journey of my life. She was able to speak those important words because she got to know us so well during our preparation video call. We were astonished by the things she elucidated from that relatively short time together. You can also tell Jane truly cares about the couples with whom she works. She's kept in contact with us since the wedding, and we can feel her genuine happiness and best wishes for us radiating from her. I think it is also worth mentioning that Jane was flexible and not the kind of person to be easily frazzled. We had some last minute changes, even ones that occurred during the ceremony, and Jane flowed right with it and made it look like it was the plan all along. We especially appreciated her flexibility in helping us include our young child in the ceremony. We weren't sure we wanted a pastor officiating our wedding, because we didn't want it to be religious. Jane was totally cool with that too. To be honest, I didn't first reach out to Jane because I wasn't sure I wanted a "fab" wedding, haha. We wanted an intimate, meaningful, heartfelt ceremony, and I wasn't sure if a business named "fab weddings" would be the right fit. But oh my goodness, I was so wrong. Our wedding was fabulously intimate, fabulously meaningful, and fabulously heartfelt. Although I'm sure if you want a good ol' fabulous wedding, she can do that too. All in all, I simply cannot recommend Jane enough. She absolutely has found her calling and is using it to spread a lot of love and light.”

“From our first conversation with The Wandering Officiant, we knew we had found the right person to marry us. They responded to our emails quickly and were clear about what we needed to do to prepare for the ceremony. What really stood out was how thoughtfully they catered to both my Norse Pagan beliefs and our identities as a same-sex couple—they didn't just check boxes, they genuinely cared about getting the details right. The ceremony itself was beautiful and personal, with every word feeling intentional and meaningful for us. Their attention to detail showed that they had really listened to what mattered to us.

I only requested one small change, which she was incredibly receptive to. On our wedding day, Sara spoke so elegantly and clearly.

With over 20 years in the wedding and event industry and more than 1,000 celebrations under our belt, we’ve seen it all—from tearful “I do’s” to packed dance floors. Based in the heart of Chicagoland, we started this business with one goal: to help couples create meaningful, unforgettable moments. After years of working behind the scenes as DJs, lighting pros, and event specialists, officiating was a natural next step. We understand the flow of a perfect day and know how to make every ceremony feel personal, joyful, and just right.

“Robert was very thorough throughout the whole process! He is very caring and thoughtful to help make the day special for you. Robert is also very flexible to help work around the tough schedules that you might have!”

Welcome! I see my role as an expert facilitator, listening and learning about you and your love story so I can articulate the goodness of your relationship in a personal ceremony made just for you. Whether queer, normative, spiritual, secular or somewhere in between, our process is painless! Clients consistently share that they feel supported through the process, and hear from guests that their ceremony felt so much like them. We work with all couples in the context of their sex, gender, expression, sexual orientation, race, culture, spirituality, age, and physical ability.

“Rebecca was so great to work with. We had her as our officiant and are so happy we found her. Unlike a lot of people we know, we weren't interested in having a family member or friend officiate our wedding, and Rebecca reinforced why that was the right decision. Her organization and expertise made planning our ceremony so easy, enjoyable, and customized to us. On our wedding day, her calming presence was so appreciated to help ease the nerves we inevitably had. Thank you, Rebecca!”

Hello, my name is Gary! I am a professional, ordained Wedding Officiant with many years of experience, and I would be honored to help you create your Perfect Wedding Ceremony — one that beautifully reflects your unique Love Story and vision.

“Gary Richard Weddings kept things straightforward from start to finish, which we appreciated. He shared our love story during the ceremony in a way that felt genuine and meaningful to us and our guests. While a few mistakes were made, they didn't take away from the overall experience. His work was solid and exactly what you'd expect from someone with his experience and background. We felt like we got good value for what we paid, and he helped make our day special in the ways that mattered most.”
