Rev. Phil was a great and lucky find. My husband and I don't really have the same spiritual views…read moreand we almost went with a friend officiating the wedding. When I changed my mind and decided I didn't want to leave God out of our wedding, I said that I would pay for and find the officiant. I admit I didn't shop around. My wedding planning approach was one and done. Once I found something I liked, I was done "shopping." I liked that Rev. Phil offered a free intro session before committing to his services. After the first one hour meeting, my husband also liked him and we were sold. We did the full package and I'd recommend it. The love story was definitely the best part of the service. It's true what the other reviewers said, people talked about that love story for weeks and months after the wedding. We were willing to make fun of ourselves and this really helped carry-off the fun of the story. Rev. Phil has a great knack for telling a story. Everyone was laughing, including us. So many of our pictures show me looking around to the crowd laughing at my ridiculous self and trying to make eye contact with someone mentioned in the story. We were also able to incorporate a touching candle-lighting memorial for my husband's deceased parents, as well as readings that were a mix of religious and secular. Rev. Phil is very detail-oriented and will give you explicit instructions and details about each part of the service. I found this helpful, as I didn't want to worry about all the details myself. As he says, he's the professional and will take the stress of this part of the wedding off of you. As a bonus, I heard he even "fooled" by super-Catholic mom by wearing his collar. No grief for no Catholic wedding! Rev. Phil really helped make our wedding a perfect, unique and special night! I'd recommend him to anyone!

Not only did he put my ex and myself in an uncomfortable place in the ceremony, he told the grooms sons to "cover their eyes" when they kissed as it would be a precious memory. Additionally he called my daughter by the wrong name during the ceremony. These moments cannot be retrieved. The venue coordinator was horrified by his behavior. Weddings are important memories made Rev Dave was not a contribution but a detractor for this event. I'm more than saddened that I recommended him based on his glowing reviews. Look elsewhere.

We had Rev. Jim officiate our wedding on 12/17 at Hotel Arista in Naperville. From the first…read moremeeting, Rev. Jim was wonderful to work with. He really took the time to get to know us as both individuals and as a couple. The ceremony he put together was perfect. it was so personal, funny, and heart-warming. All of our family and guests couldn't stop talking about how great Rev. Jim was Over a month later and people are still talking about Rev. Jim and the ceremony! He truly made it memorable. I highly recommend Rev. Jim to anyone getting married. Not convinced? Think about it, the one thing that is an absolute necessity for a wedding is an officiant to marry you. You don't necessarily need the flowers, fancy dinner, music, or all the extras, but you do need an officiant! Therefore, it is the most important part of the wedding. Hire the best. Hire Rev. Jim!!!

Wow. All I have to say is W O W. I read Jim's ad in a thousand different places, and the place…read morewhere I held my wedding actually recommended him to me. I called him, and it took around 3 weeks for him to return my call, and another 4 weeks to get an appointment! I took the appointment, and decided to look elsewhere in the meantime. I did end up finding another person to perform our ceremony, so I called the rev as soon as I knew this. I figured it was ample notice, and that I was not being rude as our appointment was still 3 weeks away. I tried to talk to him in person several times, but kept getting the machine, so I left a message stating; "We have decided to cancel our appointment with you, as we have found someone else to perform the wedding. Thanks, and we will call you if we need you in the future." The rev was not happy--I received SEVERAL phone calls from him at my JOB! He actually took down the number on the caller ID from my initial call, and called my receptionist to the point where she actually said, "Who the heck is this guy?" I had asked him to contact me on my cell phone, and gave him the number back when we were thinking of hiring him. Things got more strange as time went on. He called me from a strange number, so I answered. He asked if we were still getting marred on x date, and if we needed him! I told him NO, and thank you. He actually called my wedding venue and told them that I was CANCELING THE WEDDING COMPLETELY. You can imagine the insane phone call that I got from my wedding venue..........................................
