He finds ways to involve the guests in the ceremony, cracks jokes, tell our story, and make it such a meaningful ceremony for us and guests alike. There were a lot of tears shed during the ceremony (and not just from those of us up at the front). We had many of our guests tell us how great he was afterwards. Rev. Dave puts in a lot of care to making the ceremony special, including lots of time dedicated to the couple to learn more about them as well as running the rehearsal, making sure everyone does a great job for the day of.

“Koru did and AMAZING job at putting together our ceremony! Our guests could not stop raving about how personalized and special the ceremony was. It was truly memorable. Deciding on an officiant was one of our tougher decisions for us during wedding planning. We went back and forth on asking a friend vs hiring a vendor. Pat was so personable and bubbly during our first meet, my husband and I knew the second we hung up on the Zoom meeting that we were going to hire her. Pat was so easygoing and responsive to questions/changes we made throughout the process. She was also a large help during our rehearsal and had a ton of great tips for the wedding party. Hiring Koru was one of the best decision we made for our wedding day.”

“Your wedding is your big day and one of the most important in your whole lifetime. So if you’re like me (the bride here), making decisions for the day felt a little daunting. 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 Do" Weddings, Ltd. with Rev. Phil Landers

Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)

Offers 8 ceremony types
Serves Rock City, IL

Rev. Phil is a full-time wedding officiant. He is real minister (with a Master of Divinity degree). He has been married to Pam for 42 years. He enjoys watching movies (tries to see all the Oscar nominees), reading newspapers on his iPad, the Bears, summer concerts at the Chicago Botanic Garden and wine. He and his wife love to chat, listen to music and drink wine in front of their fireplace or in the backyard, depending on the season.

“We feel so lucky to have had Reverend Phil as our officiant—he truly made our outdoor ceremony not only beautiful and memorable, but deeply meaningful. He brought the perfect balance of a religious tone with warmth and sincerity, creating an atmosphere that felt so personal and reflective of us as a couple. Every part of the ceremony was incredibly intentional. Reverend Phil involved us throughout the entire process, from approving the full script to holding a rehearsal on the grounds to ensure everything would go smoothly. He didn’t just officiate—he genuinely acted as a ceremony coordinator, stepping in when needed (including when the wind unexpectedly knocked over and broke our glass vases) and handling it all with calm and care. We can't recommend Reverend Phil enough to any couple looking for a ceremony that’s heartfelt, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable.”

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.”

We'd recommend Christian Officiants to any couple looking for someone who takes their job seriously and cares about making your day special.”

“Rev. Russ created a lovely ceremony—one that was profoundly moving, meaningful, and felt us all the way. From the moment he began speaking, everyone in the room was fully present. There was a perfect balance of warmth, sincerity, and gentle joy. What stood out most was how personal the ceremony felt. Rev. Russ took the time to really know our story and shared it with such care and grace. It felt authentic, intentional, and sacred in the best way.

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”
