Chicago Choice Ceremonies

Wedding Ceremonies

We are fortunate to live at a moment in time when weddings can be as creative and unique as the couple themselves. Today wedding ceremonies celebrate in a universal way the traditions and beliefs of two people. Today's couples celebrate their love in interfaith, multicultural, spiritual, and secular ceremonies. Same-sex weddings invite open, creative elements of ritual and symbolism to create a perfect expression of your commitment and love. Custom designed ceremonies afford you and your partner the opportunity to choose the music, readings, vows, and wedding ceremony rituals that speak to you and reflect your personal beliefs.

Fees and Services

I will design and officiate a completely original, custom wedding ceremony that reflects the romance and specialness of the day. We'll meet to discuss your ideas and dreams for your wedding. You'll guide me as we choose your readings, vows, and every detail of the wedding ceremony rituals you may want to incorporate.

It will be exclusively written for the two of you and you will have final approval of the script two weeks before your wedding.

My fees for custom wedding ceremonies begin at $750. The pricing is dependent on several factors, some of which include the date, time, location, and complexity of the ceremony. Each ceremony is unique and each is quoted individually. Please contact me by phone or email for a quote.

Included, but not limited to, this price covers the following:

A custom wedding ceremony with your original Love Story
Unlimited consultations via phone or email
Research time and resource materials
Rehearsal
Officiating the wedding
Travel expenses within Chicago city limits
Approval of all ceremony details
Cue sheets to musicians, wedding planner, photographer, etc.
Mailing expenses to file license

A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to hold your date for any wedding and is payable at contract signing.

For couples who prefer a much shorter, simpler service, I offer the Intimate and Elopement Weddings.

"Jill was the perfect celebrant for our wedding. She gave us thoughtful surveys to get a handle on our personalities. The order of our vows was perfect. We incorporated several cultures and traditions. Jill was knowledgeable and wove it all into a unique experience that embraced us and our special friends and family. Jill is a passionate and responsible Officiant. We highly recommend her."
