The Wedding Rev - Rev. Dave Angle 

5.0

  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Serves Vernon Hills, 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!

  • Serves Vernon Hills, IL

Our team of officiants has over 600 weddings experience in the last 8 years. We are experienced in creating a ceremony that is perfect for you and your fiancee for the best start to your married life.

Jennifer was wonderful to work with. She was very easy to contact and quickly answered any and all questions. Rehearsal went by so smooth and made sure to allievate any concerns and nerves- everyone knew what to do, when to do it, and how. The ceremony itself was more than what we could have hoped for. Jennifer kept it upbeat, loving, emotional, and just FUN! We were involved in the writing process so the ceremony was personal and full of meaning but kept a lot of surprises for us. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough!!!

I assist in crafting a creative, Jewish wedding ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple. I work with partners that are Jewish, interfaith, and LGBTQ+. I help couples honor their connection to Judaism and show them how to incorporate that respect into their wedding ceremony...in a way that is comfortable for them.

Rabbi Dina was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding ceremony. From our first conversation, Reb Dina was incredibly responsive, communicative, and friendly. We wanted elements of a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony without being overly religious and she took the time to understand our vision and tailored the ceremony to be truly special and personal for us. We received so many compliments from our guests on how special and full of love the ceremony was and what a wonderful job Reb Dina did. She was a delight to work with and really allowed us to customize the ceremony to be exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Reb Dina and her team for any couple looking for a flexible, personalized, and unforgettable wedding officiant!

But just like those Mikes, I’m overly passionate about something. That something is the biblical definition of marriage! If you are reading this, I need to start with a huge congratulations!! You are about to embark on one of the greatest blessings God has for you. Doing life as a team is the absolute best!

Short answer: Yes! Hire Mike for a fantastic officiant! You won’t regret it! Long answer: I have been fortunate to know Mike since university. We were roommates for a year and he has been my soccer captain to this day. When my now wife and I were looking for an officiant, I thought about Mike. Not only because he knows me, but because I know how great of a public speaker he is. How personable he can be with anyone he meets. I guarantee he will take the time to get to know you and your significant other. He will learn every detail of your story. He will personalize your wedding to exactly the way you want. If you don’t know him like I do, still reach out to him. I guarantee you will be amazed by his personality and his care for your love story. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and Mike was truly the cherry on top! I am incredibly happy that we picked Mike to tell our story and create a beautiful ceremony!

  • Serves Vernon Hills, 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 41 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 can’t say enough amazing things about Phil Landers. From the start, he was professional, warm, and incredibly thorough. His planning process was smooth and efficient, and it was obvious why all his reviews were so outstanding—he lives up to every word of praise and then some. What truly sets Phil apart is the personal touch he brings. He didn’t just perform a ceremony; he told our story in a way that made everyone laugh, cry, and feel connected. And then—he did something no one expected. Phil included a one-of-a-kind element in the ceremony that none of our guests had ever seen before. It was creative, heartfelt, and incredibly moving. People are still talking about it, and honestly, so are we. He has a gift for making the ceremony feel intimate and meaningful, without ever being overly formal or generic. It felt like us—which is exactly what we hoped for. Choosing Phil was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. He exceeded every expectation and gave us a ceremony we will never forget. If you're looking for an officiant who brings something truly special to the table, Phil Landers is the one.

Fab Weddings 

5.0

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Vernon Hills, IL

At Fab Weddings, we believe that Love is love, and helping couples happily head toward I DO is my calling. Your story, your love, your life together are the reason for the wonder of a wedding. For the ceremony, you and I create the wedding of your dreams, and spend quality time sharing your journey. I weave your lives together in an original message.

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.
