PreformingCeremonies during Covid-19
Congrats!
You and your partner have decided to get married! As you plan all the details of the big day, you may be wondering who will guide the ceremony so it lives up to your expectations. You may be sorting through religious and cultural traditions, trying to knit together a ceremony that feels authentic. You may be asking each other, how do we make this official? You've come to the right place! I can create a custom ceremony; one that is uniquely tailored to authentically represent your union. I'll be your guide and co-creator, as we weave together ancient and contemporary, traditional and unconventional.
On the big day, I can solemnize the union with style, grace, and warmth.
We can service the greater Chicagoland area and we also have strong business relationships with various Chapel options throughout Chicago and Suburbs. We are preforming marriage ceremonies during the Covid-19 pandemic with restrictions. The wedding party will be limited to ensure we are taking every precaution to protect everyone that attends. Please call 708-328-6162 to learn more.
I'm, Reverend George, your Wedding Officiant, who will co-create a custom wedding ceremony with you!
I was raised in--and have practice--the Catholic Christian tradition. I believe, however, there are many paths to the divine. I am ready to accept the presence or absence of faith. I am comfortable in any cultural or religious tradition, including atheism, agnosticism, and secular humanism. I can and get along with just about anyone. I grew up in the suburbs but I have lived in Chicago for many years but today I call Aurora my hometown. I can officiant in all collar counties of Chicago to include Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will.
Passion + Talent
I officiated my first wedding for two dear friends, Jorge and Melissa. I enjoyed working alongside them to create a ceremony that reflected their relationship. I enjoyed the ceremony and received such encouraging feedback, I knew I love to offer this service to others. This creative and spiritual endeavor combines my love of public speaking, strong writing skills, and my abiding faith in the divine and the conviction that we are sacred.
Ordination
I am ordained by Universal Life Church Ministries, a non-profit, interfaith and non-denominational church. Universal Life Church Ministries believes that the choice of wedding officiant belongs to the couple.
As an Ordained Reverend, I have been blessed to partner with many couples along the way. I believe in marriage equality and I honor and respect and values, customs, and belief systems. Your personalized ceremony will reflect your beliefs and values; honoring your love, your life, your relationships, and commitments. Are you spiritual yet not religious? Maybe molding of a couple different faiths? Each ceremony is unique, custom crafted, incorporating language, readings, and elements that are meaningful and important to you. Rev. George is specially trained to create meaningful ceremonies that are important to you. Contact us today for your free consultation and find out the difference working with Rev. George in celebration of your special day.
The Wedding Pro Officiant is proud to support all couples in marriage, and we perform commitment and wedding ceremonies for gay and lesbian couples nearly every single week. Each of our wedding officiants is LGBT-friendly as a condition for being a part of our team, and we pride ourselves on being inclusive, flexible, and creative when creating a customized ceremony for each couple.
I perform gay marriage ceremonies throughout the Chicagoland area as Non-Dominational Minister.
The approach I use to create your wedding ceremony is very different from other wedding officiants. You and your fiance are encouraged to be part of the creative process. This allows for the creation of a ceremony that truly reflects who you are as a couple.
