Testimonials

Kim Marie was our wedding planner and officiant for our wedding in Schaumburg at Chandler’s Chophouse & Grille. She was immensely helpful, understanding, resourceful and best of all…she’s an AMAZING friend! We had a really big wedding and she helped us with everything question that we had; from the vendors, decorations, suggestions, advice and how we should handle everything with grace. We were very fortunate to have met Kim because she is still a presence in our lives. We couldn’t have asked someone more reliable then Kim. She helped keep us sane during the whole process!

Kim, where do we start?! First of all, you take a “leap of faith” when you decide to say “I do”, but it also takes a leap of faith when one finds an officiant! From beginning to end, we truly appreciated your thorough guidance in planning our ceremony. The ceremony was not only intimate and wonderful, but fun! You did a fantastic job of capturing who we are! We loved your style, your humor, your tenderness and joy. You are positive, energetic and you have a wonderful presence. You put our guests and us at ease. Thank you for your blend of humor in which you personalized our ceremony with the “Packer Fans” on the bride’s side and the “Bears Fans” on groom’s side! Our guests truly smiled and laughed at that one! It was an amazing day that we all will never forget!

Our wedding ceremony was absolutely amazing and we have Kim to thank for this. She made sure every detail was taken care of, and in the end our ceremony was all we could have ever asked for. Kim is extremely creative, fun, outgoing, generous, and friendly. What we appreciated the most was the way Kim really took the time to personalize our ceremony. She was able to eloquently deliver a perfect portrayal of our relationship to our guests. We received many compliments on how lovely our ceremony was—of course, we have Kim to thank for making our day so incredibly special. We can’t thank her enough!

I have seen Kim perform many ceremonies and there hasn’t been one that didn’t take my breath away. She listens to the couple she is working with to completely customize the content to deliver a personalized ceremony that they’ve always dreamed about. Some are light hearted and funny, others are sentimental and there isn’t a dry eye in the place. I can’t say enough about how great Kim is. Her personality will blow you away. She also does a great job incorporating your faith into the ceremony if that is important to you. I strongly recommend Kim for your wedding ceremony!

It has been over 2 years since Ryan and I have gotten married and our wedding guests still rave about our wedding! You truly made our wedding day special and one-of-a-kind! With your help throughout the process, we felt comfortable and we were able to focus on the true meaning of our wedding day! You did an amazing job officiating our wedding the way we have always hoped it to be. Full of love, fun, faith, and laughter. I knew the love I felt for my fiancé while crying my eyes out through my vows were communicated perfectly and straight from the heart! We can never forget how much you have done for us. You are a bundled package: wedding planner, minister, and a kind and loving friend!

My husband and I could not be more pleased in choosing Kim as our officiant for our wedding. Kim made our ceremony personalized so that all our guests got to know us as a couple. She had everyone laughing and by the end many were wiping away happy tears. Several of our guests complimented us on how heartfelt and warm our ceremony was—and we have Kim to thank for that!

Kim did more than just officiate our wedding, she made it the most memorable day! By getting to know us beforehand, she was able to capture our personalities and incorporate them into a very personalized and unique ceremony. She was extremely professional and fun, she kept the crowd engaged—there was laughter and tears throughout. We really appreciated her adding her own special touches; everyone especially enjoyed the wine box portion of the ceremony. We really can’t thank you enough for keeping us calm and guiding us through the entire process. I know ours was a wedding that will be talked about for years to come! A million thanks wouldn’t be enough for you as we start our lifetime together with such beautiful memories.
