Need A Chicago Wedding Officiant? Live in Love Can Help!

Meggan and Mae - One of my favorite weddings (at First Trinity)!
"God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them." - 1 John 4:16b
Welcome to Live In Love, Chicago! 

Way to find Love! Now let's celebrate it!

- I am an ordained pastor (ELCA) specializing in ceremonies both innovative and old-school traditional. 

- I am LGBTQAI-, feminist-, interfaith-, intercultural-, interracial-, and Love- POSITIVE. Got Love? Let's celebrate it. 

-Your ceremony may be religious-specific, religion neutral, or free of religious language. 
(Make you, your partner, and "that" uncle/aunt happy (hopefully)! 

-We'll have fun. Love is fun. You're getting married! Let's make it a joyful occasion. 

Ram and Sian! What a beautiful Hindu/Christian wedding!

Before you "I do," there is a bit more than  day-of officiating that you'll likely need me to-do. 

Your Benefit!
1) Free Consultation (email/phone)

2) Planning Meeting
(1-2 hours, Video Mtg or In Person, Coffee Shop or Church Office)
Andy and Rachel! Candles? No way! They ate a unity sandwich!*

3) Writing and Editing the Ceremony
(Will write with your feedback and share with you to edit on Google Docs)

4) Wedding Rehearsal (Optional, but a good idea, I'll run through the ceremony with you and your party at the rehearsal) 

5) Sermon/Message (optional, 5-10 minute message)

6) The Wedding, Wedding Day!
(I'll arrive 1/2 hour early to talk through any last minute concerns and hopes)

7) I'll be available by phone/email up until the wedding day. 

Meg and Jim at First Trinity, Chicago. 
I love these two sooooo much!*
Your Cost!
With these services, and top quality work every time, expect your cost to be about $500-700.  

I will work to find a plan that works for you! Also ask about my church, First Trinity Chicago, as a venue!



I look forward to hearing from you!
