02 / Why I became an officiant

Hi, I'm Dylan.

Warm, personal, engaging ceremonies—with meaningful stories and just the right amount of humor.

During the pandemic, two of my best friends asked me to officiate their wedding. I felt honored to step in, and that one meaningful moment became work I truly love.

Since then, I've led everything from a 10-person backyard ceremony to a 300-plus guest celebration at the Field Museum. Whatever the setting, my focus is helping you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present.

Dylan is a fantastic officiant! He made sure to understand what we wanted for our big day and even asked us if any of our loved ones wanted a chance to speak, which ultimately was a great call. The ceremony went smoothly under his care.

Dylan surprised us by committing to be our officiant super last minute, no questions asked. He met us for coffee and even came to our home to go over the finer details of the wedding structure and aesthetic. Can't recommend him enough!

A few questions?

Have another one? I'm always happy to talk it through.

All questions ↗

How far in advance should we book?

Most couples book 6–12 months in advance, but shorter timelines are sometimes possible. If you have a date in mind, reach out and I'll check availability.

Do you travel for weddings?

Absolutely. I serve Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, and I'm open to destination celebrations, too. Let's talk about your location.

Can we include our own traditions or readings?

Of course. Your ceremony should reflect you. We can weave in religious, spiritual, cultural, interfaith, or family traditions, as well as readings and personal vows.

Will you help with our marriage license?

Yes. I'll guide you through what you need to know about obtaining your license and the signing and filing process.

Do you offer a rehearsal?
