Here are some questions I find people often ask regarding my services:
Ceremonies include Wedding and Vow Renewal
About Terry Brady
I have been an ordained, non-denominational minister/wedding officiant, since 1998.
I never imagined that anything could be so incredibly rewarding and fullfilling
as uniting two souls in marriage, as I started out marrying only family members
and close friends. To each ceremony I bring passion, flexibility, and personalization.
For me the greatest of honors is uniting a couple on what what is truly one of life's
most wondrous occasions. I will work with you to create a ceremony that will hold
the cherished memory of a lifetime.
I will meet with you to discuss your ceremony. I will listen to you. I will give
you a questionnaire that will enable me to write and share your love story and your
hopes and dreams and what YOUR vision of ceremony is, being careful to include only
the content you desire and approve of-afterall, it's YOUR wedding.
What about the ideal wedding location?
You decide-it's your dream. We have entered into a new age of wedding locations
that certainly would have surprised our grandparents. If a place has a special meaing
to you, it is my privilege to see you married there. Indoors/outdoors, traditional,
contemporary, chapel/church venues, the possibilities and options are endless. I
can also make recommendations if you wish. Here are just some of the venues in
the Chicagoland are where I have officiated ceremonies:
- Morton Aboretum
- The Abbey in Lake Geneva
- Galleria Marchetti
- Millenium Park

How much will your services cost me?
Obviously no two ceremonies are alike, so my fee will vary according to size of
the wedding, length of ceremony and distance. My fee based upon that, generally
ranges between $300.00 and $650.00, all inclusive (except for parking), including
rehearsal.
How long will my ceremony last?
Most importantly, I always emphasize "Dont be in a hurry!-I will not rush you".
I
am there to facilitate and allow you to be absored in the magic of the moment. For
some couples ten minutes works. About twenty minutes give or take is usually about
right. Anything over thrity minutes seems to contribute to a serious case of "wobbling
of the knees" (just kidding). I promise to include everything and just about anything
your heart's desire.
How do we reserve our wedding date?
First things first: Contact me to see if your date and
time is available on my schedule and so we can set an initial meeting.
