As a Chicago wedding minister, I work for everyone- every culture, every age, every religion, in every setting. The photos throughout this website are a small fraction of the couples I have worked for. But they are indicative of the clientele who retain my services. Their ceremonies took place in locations such as their homes or at venues like country clubs, mansions, houses of worship, park gazebos or elaborate banquet facilities. In all cases the ceremonies I performed for them honored the relationship of marriage as well as celebrated the couples' desire to share their lives.

But what determines how a couple chooses their officiant? I find that most couples who contact me belong to one of two groups.

  Those of the first group already have an appreciation of what a professional wedding minister brings them- the know how, the experience and the directorship skills to make their ceremony outstanding. They also understand the consequences of making the wrong choice in a wedding minister. When these couples call my office, their questioning often begins with.."What will your services and ceremony do for us?" On the other hand, price oriented couples do little homework, typically hiring the first officiant referred to them who meets their budget. They mistakenly reason that: "Since all wedding ceremonies are the same why not find the cheapest?"

My approach is to educate couples- giving them a complete understanding of everything I do in a wedding ceremony and the reasoning behind it. The thoroughness of this website and a video presentation rich with novel and effective examples helps my couples to make informed decisions on hiring me. This openness rewards me with clients of similar values and expectations- couples who are a joy to work for. These couples are the clienteles I seek.
